If the season ended right now, the Giants would pick seventh in the 2015 NFL Draft.

That's a pretty high pick. The last time the Giants selected in the Top 10 was 2004, when they ended up with some guy named Eli Manning.

So the expectation will be pretty high if the Giants pick in that spot. And given the current state of the roster, they need to come away with a really good player, kind of like they did this year with wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.

Several weeks back, we highlighted some options. Here's four more that are playing on Saturday.

1. DT Danny Shelton (Washington)

Washington at Washington St., 10:30 p.m. on FS1

The 6-2, 339-pounder has 16.0 tackles for a loss and 8.5 sacks this season. He's been an absolute force in the middle of the Huskies' defense and would be a stabilizing force playing next to Johnathan Hankins in the Giants' defense.

2. DE Shawn Oakman (Baylor)

Baylor (7) at Texas Tech, 3:30 p.m. on ABC or ESPN2

He's a 6-9, 280-pound pass-rushing end. These are the kind of powerful defensive ends the Giants like. He could be the replacement (or compliment) for free agent Jason Pierre-Paul.

3. OLB Vic Beasley (Clemson)

South Carolina at Clemson (21), noon on ESPN

Beasley (6-2, 235) could play the Von Miller-type role as an outside linebacker in a 4-3 defense. The Giants were looking for a linebacker with these skills this past offseason ‐ they tried to sign O'Brien Schofield ‐ and are likely still in the market. Beasley would fit the bill.

4. QB Marcus Mariota (Oregon)

Oregon (2) at Oregon St., 8 p.m. on ABC

Quarterback? Yes, quarterback. A loss to the Jaguars and the Giants will have the rare opportunity of being in striking distance of the top quarterback (more on this next week). That top quarterback is Mariota, who has the size, skills and makeup to be special.
