Big Blue Huddle

NEW YORK GIANTS
Additions:
Round 2, Pick 47: S Tyler Nubin
Round 3, Pick 70: CB Andru Phillips

Though the Giants made only two secondary selections, they targeted players who fit their scheme for a potential year-one impact. Nubin is a solid safety, one the Giants needed after losing Xavier McKinney in free agency. Nubin can play both free and strong safety, though he is best as a strong safety in robber coverage roles over the middle.

Phillips to the Giants was one of my favorite prospect-team fits of any selection in the draft. His press-man coverage style fits perfectly with New York's 2023 first-round pick, Deonte Banks. Now they can get even more aggressive to play Cover 1, Cover 0 or 2-Man.

Didn't realize Banks was rated so low last year by PFF. Thought he played better than that. Interested to see how the entire defense comes along. Think we could probably use another DL body similar to bringing in Robinson on the cheap last year.

I am torn.  On the one hand, a veteran 3 tech would be nice.  On the other, since I don't expect the Giants to be competing for a SB, this gives the younger players some experience and a chance to develop.
