The New York Giants' 2024 NFL Draft has proven pivotal for the team's future, bolstering the squad under general manager Joe Schoen. Despite missing out on a franchise quarterback, the Giants made significant strides with standout selections such as wide receiver Malik Nabers and safety Tyler Nubin, as well as corner Dru Phillips and tight end Theo Johnson, who took over Daniel Bellinger’s position. Phillips, in particular, has garnered attention as the most underrated player on the team, showcasing remarkable performance in a challenging rookie season.

Phillips excelled in the slot, registering a 77.5 PFF overall grade while facing injuries, ranking among the top cornerbacks for both coverage and run-defense. With a stronger supporting cast and a year of experience under his belt, there's optimism surrounding Phillips’ potential for a breakout season, making him a considerable asset for fantasy managers to monitor closely.
