10) New York Giants: Ezekiel Elliot RB, Ohio State

It was not too long ago that the Giants were sitting in their war room arguing about taking an offensive lineman or a skill position player. They settled on the skill position player, also known as wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. I think that it is safe to say that it has worked out for them.

Elliot is the elite running back the Giants have not had in a long time and would add a new dimension to their often stale offense. A trio of quarterback Eli Manning, Beckham and Elliot would be scary for any defense.
