Three gamers chosen by the New York Giants in final week’s NFL draft — or half of the group’s 2024 draft class — are amongst ESPN’s top-100 picks thought of ‘steals and matches’.
LSU large receiver Malik Nabers, chosen sixth total, was analyst Matt Miller’s fourth-best choose on this yr’s draft.
Some will knock the Giants for not drafting a quarterback or offensive deal with at No. 6 total, however each positions would have been reaches on my board. As an alternative, the Giants chosen my No. 4 total participant in Nabers, who must be the group’s WR1 from the bounce. With the explosive receiver on board, the group can totally consider Daniel Jones and Drew Lock at quarterback earlier than probably 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 expertise (13 profession picks) and proved throughout his faculty 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 high the group’s depth chart in Week 1.
Fourth-round choose, Penn State tight finish Theo Johnson, was ranked 69th total 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 assume he’s a future NFL starter. If the Giants can coach him up, he may very well be a steal. He caught seven touchdowns final season.
The group’s different three picks — cornerback Dru Phillips of Kentucky, Purdue working again Tyrone Tracy and UCLA linebacker Darius Muasau — didn’t make the listing.
