Three gamers chosen by the New York Giants in final week’s NFL draft — or half of the staff’s 2024 draft class — are amongst ESPN’s top-100 picks thought of ‘steals and suits’.
LSU extensive receiver Malik Nabers, chosen sixth general, was analyst Matt Miller’s fourth-best choose on this 12 months’s draft.
Some will knock the Giants for not drafting a quarterback or offensive deal with at No. 6 general, however each positions would have been reaches on my board. As a substitute, the Giants chosen my No. 4 general participant in Nabers, who ought to be the staff’s WR1 from the leap. With the explosive receiver on board, the staff can totally consider Daniel Jones and Drew Lock at quarterback earlier than doubtlessly making a change on the place within the 2025 draft/offseason.
Second-round choice, security Tyler Nubin of Minnesota, was ranked 56th.
When starter Xavier McKinney left in free company for the Packers, it was apparent the Giants would goal a security sooner or later within the draft. Nubin has All-American ball abilities (13 profession picks) and proved throughout his school profession that he can learn the eyes of quarterbacks after which use his vary to assault the ball. He’s a traditional center-fielder free security who ought to prime the staff’s depth chart in Week 1.
Fourth-round choose, Penn State tight finish Theo Johnson, was ranked 69th general by Miller.
It was very clever of the Giants to seize extra choices at tight finish, and Johnson had flashes on tape all through his profession that may make you suppose he’s a future NFL starter. If the Giants can coach him up, he could possibly be a steal. He caught seven touchdowns final season.
The staff’s different three picks — cornerback Dru Phillips of Kentucky, Purdue working again Tyrone Tracy and UCLA linebacker Darius Muasau — didn’t make the record.
