Giants Sign Third-round Draft Pick Andru Phillips
Three down and three to go for the New York Giants, who signed cornerback Andru Phillips, their third-round draft pick (No. 70 overall), to his rookie deal. Phillips, 5-11 and 190 pounds, played four seasons of collegiate football for the Kentucky Wildcats, both as a slot cornerback and on the perimeter. Last season, Phillips was targeted 57 times out of 422 coverage snaps. Phillips will begin his NFL career with the Giants by playing in the slot, where he played 223 snaps last season for the Wildcats, a position he's only too happy to play at this level.

Expert Commentary
The Giants really needed to go quarterback here, but they weren't in love with the options on the board. Still, the Giants had a massive need at wide receiver as well and got the biggest playmaker at that spot in the draft. Malik Nabers can grow in to a true No. 1 wideout with blazing speed while they play out this season with Daniel Jones at quarterback.

This is probably about the right range for Nubin. He's the first safety drafted and he's a quality replacement for Xavier McKinney right away. This is the exact type of player that the Giants needed to add to their back seven.

Good depth here for the Giants at cornerback. It’s never a bad idea to add cornerbacks and now the Giants have two defensive backs added at this point in the draft.
