The recurring theme watching the Giants' offense over the past few seasons is that the Giants lack a top-tier wide receiver since trading away Odell Beckham. There are two receivers in this class from Beckham's alma mater that may end up playing in New York but, the star at the sixth pick is Malik Nabers.

In 2023, Nabers caught 89 passes for 1,569 yards and 14 touchdowns while becoming a star at LSU. Nabers best ability is his route running, which is extremely a smooth and creative and should translate day one in the NFL.

At 6"0, 200 pounds, Nabers has an ideal frame for an NFL wide receiver and will benefit from testing well at the combine. One of the areas where Nabers' excels the most in after the catch with an ability to make any play a touchdown.

For the Giants, landing a receiver of Nabers' caliber would suit the team well in the present and in the future. He'll help whichever quarterback the Giants use in 2024, as he should draw attention from opposing defenses, which will open up the passing game for receivers like Jalin Hyatt, Darius Slayton, and Wan'dale Robinson.
