Malik Nabers seems to be out of favor here, but he shouldn't

is getting potentially one of the best WR in the game if they live up to their potential.

And would love to add Nabers if the price for the qb they want is too high. I would be very against a trade down with Nabers available at 6.

Needing a QB trumps all.

reminds me of a better OBJ coming out

There are a lot of dumb people in our fanbase.

But it wouldn't be terrible obviously. I know a lot of people would be thrilled to see DJ play with Nabers including some family members of mine.

He also seems to compliment the skill sets of Hyatt and Robinson.

Nabers seems like a more explosive WR compared to both Harrison and Odunze.

I would be ok with WR at 6 if the ability to get the QB doesn’t pan out.

I have a feeling, if I am Daboll, I would like to trade up for Maye but the fall back plan is Nabers.

would be a huge plus to the receiving core. I agree that he would have higher upside than Odunze. However, the Giants just lack big body receivers and do not have a solid red zone threat. I think that’s why a lot of us would prefer. Odunze over Nabers. Either way with these two receivers, I would be happy.

If we don't take a QB @ 6 or move up for him & assuming he's on the board, I think he's the pick.

I'd prefer Roman. Sy compared Odunze to Fitz. But apparently Dabs loves Nabers.

I understand that Odunze seems to be a better risk, and apparently has elite contested catch ability.

However, just for watching highlights, it seems very clear than neighbors is much more of a YAC thread, and plays faster.

I honestly don’t understand why having Hyatt would be a reason to take Odunze over Nabers if Nabers would otherwise be preferable.

over odunze by a meaningful margin. albrights comments with FO people and mcginn's scouts both agree on it too:

Quote:

In 2023, Ohio State’s Jaxon Smith-Njigba went to Seattle at No. 20 as the first wide receiver selected. When 15 scouts were asked how many of this draft’s wideouts were better prospects than Smith-Njigba, their average response was five. Those 15 executives plus another were asked to rank the wide receivers on a 1-2-3-4-5 basis. A first-place vote was worth 5 points, a second-place vote was worth 4 and so on. Harrison, with 11 firsts, led with 72 points. Following, in order, were Malik Nabers (65, four), Rome Odunze (49, one), Brian Thomas (13), Xavier Worthy (12), Keon Coleman (eight), Mitchell (eight), Xavier Legette (seven), Ladd McConkey (three), Ja’Lynn Polk (two) and Roman Wilson (one).

harrison first for 11 scouts, Nabers 4 scouts, odunze just 1.

Nabers is probably my favorite, first choice possibility at 6.

Malik Nabers is a ridiculous football player. In plenty of recent drafts he'd be the best pound-for-pound player available. If not for MHJr, he would be this year.

*If* the Giants opt to go with Daniel Jones, Nabers has the ability to do what OBJ did for late-years Manning.

Nabers can look like he's returning punts when he's catching passes. Everyone looks like they started 40 yards away from him.

Nabers is like OBJ. The red zone begins at his own 20. Threat to take it to the house anytime

Does GiantGrit's report about Nabers being knocked down on our board due to the gun incident and other undisclosed legitimate character concerns? If that's the case, then I'd have to imagine someone would trade a haul to us for him. Ed Oliver and a king's ransom of picks from Buffalo? Jacksonville's 1-3 and 2025 1st? Chicago's pick 9, 3rd rd and 2025 2nd?

they are both true number 1 receivers this team has lacked for years assuming they strike out on taking a QB.

if the QB JS wants isn't available via trade or at 6. If Nabers is there at 6 draft him. The more I watch the more he is the guy, he's dynamic. Put him in opposite Hyatt or in slot same side and you'll create matchup problems all over the field.

Feel that Nabers will be great and a safer bet. Will the Giants gamble on the 4th QB with a trade up?

was picking for the Giants on a mock draft on YouTube. We're talking about a guy with a proven track record of picking WRs and he raved about Nabers and said the Giants would be thrilled to get him.

(BTW, in this mock, Maye went to Washington, Daniels to Pats, and Vikes traded up to take McCarthy at #5).

For sure, if he isn't knocked down on our board for character concerns, I'd say he's the clear-cut favorite over Odunze.

Looking at their ceilings, would you rather have Odell Beckham Jr. or Larry Fitzgerald? I’ll take Larry Fitzgerald.

Its Nabers.

Nabers ceiling could be a better version of OBJ without the nonsense and injuries. And it's a lot easier to see Nabers reaching that ceiling than Odunze. Odunze is a smooth mover with impeccable character though, I see him having a good long career.

after the catch!

Pick Nabers at 6

OR

trade down to accrue a pick in the 10-15 range + future draft capital

Is someone trading a future first for Nabers? I'm assuming in this scenario the 4 QBs are off the board.

But NYG could get a future 2, and still pick in the 9-11 range. And get their top defensive player OR a Brian Thomas Jr. type.

If NYG whiffs on these QBs - I like the idea of stockpiling 2025 picks.

People are talking about OBJ, but he seems thicker than OBJ. The legitimate question in my mind though is, how long is his window? Should the Giants be picking a game changing receiver before they have a quarterback?

I'd trade down hoping for Odunze or if not Penix.

he'd immediately be the most talented offensive player that we've had since OBJ.

Check out his broken tackles. I thinks it's the best in the class and if not, hes up there.

I'll take the trade down. Nabers is wasted here.

I think a very likely outcome is the Giants pick Nabers and stick with Jones. The Giants win 6 or so games next year and Nabers gives them a big boost on offense. Which leads to Jones in 2025.

The upside of Nabers is best receiver in the NFL - a bigger faster Odell Beckham.

And I think his floor is higher because he is an easy separator and excellent after the catch. Odunze is not much of a separator and so there is a little more risk with him.

I think both will be great, mind you, I have no problem having either guy, but I prefer Nabers.

I don't think Jones is on this team in 2025 if he doesn't make the Giants a credible threat to make the NFC Championship game.

I suppose it depends on what the future draft capital entails. If it’s a future first, I’d probably lean that way and take Brian Thomas this year and look for the QB next year. If it’s a 2nd round next year I think I may lean Nabers.

If Nabers has a year like rookie Beckham, Jones will get saved.

I've said it most of this off-season, if a WR is selected at #6, the announcement is loud and clear from Schoen's office at 1925 GW:

Jones is our guy now and beyond.

Jones is the luckiest SOB in the history of the NFL if that is the case.

-Shurmur fired, Jones remains starter.
-Judge fired, Jones remains starter.
-New regime takes over with TWO top ten picks in a historically weak QB draft.
-Jones has a nice season in a contract year and parlays it into $82M guaranteed.
-Tyrod Taylor & Tommy DeVito win just enough games to put NYG on the outside of drafting a QB.

Has there ever been a QB who fell into a more fortunate set of circumstances?

In the far majority of situations the Jones chapter is slammed shut after 2021 but there were no QBs in that draft. It's unreal.

is the starter with the new OL, new defense, WR corps with Nabers and the others and this team only wins 6 games, he's not coming back in 2025.

And Daboll may not be back either.

If they pick Nabers Thursday night almost everyone will be on board, talking about his grade, the value, etc.

In November when they're 3-7 and the offense is scoring 18 PPG I wonder how people are going to feel.

Yep. Daboll probably fired too. I'd expect Schoen to get another hire at HC.

But give me the guy who is similarly rated who by all accounts isn't going to be a pain in the ass at some point in his career

The Giants don't take any QBs.
