NFL rookie grades: Ranking each 2024 draft class, from No. 1 to 32

With Saquon Barkley turning in one of the greatest campaigns ever by an NFL running back, the season felt like a six-month dunk contest on Joe Schoen. But here in draftland, the Giants general manager deserves love. Quibble with the decision to not take a quarterback if you like -- Bo Nix, Michael Penix Jr. and J.J. McCarthy were all available at No. 6 overall -- but New York added a bushel of starters, beginning with rookie Pro Bowler Malik Nabers. Combining a dog mentality with dynamic playmaking ability, Nabers posted spectacular numbers (109/1,204/7) while catching passes from an unspectacular cast of quarterbacks (Daniel Jones/Drew Lock/Tommy DeVito/Tim Boyle). And he wasn’t the only first-year player to infuse New York’s offense with some much-needed juice. Tyrone Tracy Jr., who spent most of his college career as a wide receiver, showcased dual-threat ability out of the backfield, while Theo Johnson started 11 games at tight end before breaking his foot on Thanksgiving. Defensively, the secondary remained suspect in 2024 -- particularly at outside corner -- but the Giants added a pair of versatile building blocks in nickelback Andru Phillips and safety Tyler Nubin. Phillips especially stood out as an edgy playmaker.
