Giants add electric WR Nabers with No. 6 pick

The New York Giants passed on selecting a quarterback and took LSU wide receiver Malik Nabers with the sixth overall pick of the first round in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Nabers was the second receiver selected after the Arizona Cardinals chose Marvin Harrison Jr. at No. 4.

The LSU product caught 89 catches for 1,569 yards and 14 touchdowns in 2023.

Nabers is expected to be a prominent target for quarterback Daniel Jones. He'll be part of a receiving room that also features Jalin Hyatt, Wan'Dale Robinson, and Darius Slayton.

Pre-draft profile

Nabers could become this class' top receiving prospect. While the LSU star dominated in 2023, there's a sense that he's still far from reaching his ceiling. Though he may not be as polished as Harrison, Nabers has the potential to be one of the NFL's best wide receivers. A dangerous route-runner who can be a monster after the catch, one can only imagine just how much more is in Nabers' arsenal. Somehow, his route running and athleticism might not even be his best traits. His highlight-reel catches will leave jaws on the floor. A master at body control, Nabers plays bigger than his 6-foot frame at the catch point. Just like Harrison, there are few concerns here. It's not a matter of if but when Nabers will become a household name.
