Typically, teams try to fill as many needs as possible during the draft. And - in my opinion - that is why most teams don't draft well.

Are there any patterns to how the New York Giants draft? Here is a look at which conferences the Giants have been most likely to select players from.

Today's 2013 NFL Draft prospect profile for the New York Giants will look at one of the last few players I haven't profiled that look like first-round players.

OTHERS: Early Doucet, ex-Arizona; Kevin Walter, ex-Houston; Louis Murphy, Carolina ; Julian Edelman, New England; Kevin Ogletree, Dallas ; Domenik Hixon, N.Y. Giants; Donald Jones, ex-Buffalo ; Braylon Edwards, N.Y. Jets; Laurent Robinson, ex-Jacksonville; Michael Jenkins, ex-Minnesota; Ramses Barden, N.Y. Giants; Titus Young, ex-St. Louis.

One thing has become clear since the Giants won Super Bowl XLII with a hobbled Jeremy Shockey watching from the sidelines: as long as Eli Manning is under center, the tight end, no matter how talented, is interchangeable.
