Not a lot of places putting them in the top tier and both belong there IMOYou can't be reading the same sources that I am then because I've not seen anywhere that isn't massively pumping up Nabers. He's got as much hype as any player in the class this year.two players not getting near enough love right now are... and Nabers.
I can barely find a mock with Nabers outside the top 6 and don't think I've seen any with Maye outside the top 3, the last one I read he was the 1.01 in fact. But fair enough if you're seeing different stuff to me.Not a lot of places putting them in the top tier and both belong there IMO

Sadly ruled out of bounds, but here's Malik Nabers somehow getting the sideline from the opposite hash and leaving carnage in his wake

But the lowest Nabers falls is to 9.
He's talking about the actual NFL draft.Sorry, but I don't see a world where Nabers falls to 9, no matter the format.
He’s #4 at the absolute worst in regular leagues. SF though, I don’t think he falls that far but it’s not completely implausible for owners to take 5 QBs before him, then MH, Odunze and bowers. Although him falling would be a mistake.Sorry, but I don't see a world where Nabers falls to 9, no matter the format.
I was.He's talking about the actual NFL draft.
I suppose it’s possible if enough QBs are taken early.He's talking about the actual NFL draft.Sorry, but I don't see a world where Nabers falls to 9, no matter the format.
I have him going 5 to the chargers or 6 to the giants. But it wouldn’t be too surprising to see 3 QBs, Alt, Fashanu, MH, Odunze, and Bowers / Turner / 4th QB taken ahead.suppose it’s possible if enough QBs are taken early.

Why ISN'T Malik Nabers WR1 in the 2024 NFL Draft Class?
Before you respond, ask yourself "Can I answer this question with more than just a blanket "Marvin Harrison Jr." ?"
I've had conversations with three people this week that all see a clear path to Nabers being more successful in year 1 with arguably better odds to "hit".
Both were world class receivers in college and this is by no means degrading to Harrison.
Nabers fits an archetype that we have seen over and over again succeed in the NFL, he likely checks every box at the combine with flying colors and his profile is nearly impeccable, outside of some issues in contested situations.
Harrison Jr. has the size to not worry about contested issues, and his foot speed at 6'4 is elite, while his frame is incomplete for the NFL at an estimated 205lbs. His YAC/Rec was T-158th in the Power 5 this season.
This post is not meant to pull down either prospect as I am a huge fan of both, including Rome Odunze and Troy Franklin - however Nabers deserves to be realistically discussed as the WR1 in the class as well.

does therein lie the fact that PFF grades should be taken with a grain of salt?
honestly... i can say i do look at them. i do take some info from them. but as Ive always said, watching a player is 98% of it.
Chad Forbes
I’ll be shocked if Malik Nabers doesn’t have 1K yards his rookie season, 4K+ on his rookie contact. Hes a bigger DJ Moore. Might never be the best WR in the league, but he’s gonna make $120M+ playing ball.

Chris Simms
Malik Nabers is the fastest, most explosive, best route runner of this year's crop. If someone's in his face, he's running right by them. But can also run an intricate route from any position - X, Z, slot.
Ja'Marr Chase-ish. DJ Moore-ish.
#1 WR this year
Dane Brugler
100% true. Nabers has been viewed as WR1 for several teams since the season. And that says more about Nabers than anything else - he's a special talent.
Simms liking him is his 1st red flag.
Thomas number two over MHJrSimms liking him is his 1st red flag.

.@LSUfootball @whyguard13 back to back plays..Dynamic doesnt do Nabers justice…The best to ever do it in Baton Rouge. #BaldysBreakdowns
Yeah, Simms is pretty much the worst when it comes to draft prospects. He hit on Josh Allen in 2018, and is living off that, despite having as bad a hit rate as any analyst out there. He's almost like a troll at this point. Just saying whatever might get clicks. I feel extremely comfortable trusting my analysis over Simms.Thomas number two over MHJrSimms liking him is his 1st red flag.
I have Nabers above Harrison but not by much. I did like Chase coming out of school a little more than both but agree they are up there with the best in the last decade plus. I also share your concern on Daniels for the same reason and would add his slender build is a concern as well. With the hunger for QBs it will be interesting to see where these guys fall in the draft. Simms is a goof.Yeah, Simms is pretty much the worst when it comes to draft prospects.

I do love Nabers though. I would very much argue he and Harrison are the 2 best prospects in a very long time. Probably have to go back to at least the Green/Julio year.
Nabers (and Thomas to a lesser extent) are big reasons why I'm a bit wary of Daniels. He was throwing to wide open guys all year, and if they weren't wide open its because defenses sold out to stop them leaving huge running lanes open.
Simms also thought Zach Wilson was going to be the best of his class.Yeah, Simms is pretty much the worst when it comes to draft prospects.

NFL TRANSITION:
Nabers is one of the best wide receiver prospects in the 2024 draft class. After evaluating his 2022 and 2023 tape, I would rank him as the second-best prospect behind Marvin Harrison Jr. Nabers has extensive experience playing outside and the slot. His location versatility is a significant plus as you project and transition him to the NFL.
Nabers possesses a complete receiver skill set with high-level physical traits and outstanding competitive toughness. There were times he made me think of Deebo Samuel with his run-after-catch presence, aggressiveness and physicality. He worked all three levels of the defense effectively. He has a subtle and nuanced feel for route running with body leans and feints resulting in needed separation and the short-area burst and acceleration to run by and get on top of corners, especially on slot fades.
He has a second gear on vertical routes to create separation with the ball in the air, and he showed the body control and hands to make tough catches on the sideline and in the middle of the field.
One trait that Nabers possesses that is often overlooked is his body control to stop on a dime and present flat and friendly to the quarterback, sending the corner running by him.
Nabers aggressively attacked press coverage, and he defeated it with a desirable combination of short-area quickness, burst and physicality.
Overall, I believe Nabers is a high-level wide receiver prospect who can step in from Day 1 and be a starter and productive contributor, especially with his versatility to line up anywhere in the formation.

Malik Nabers
Had a higher recruiting grade than Marvin Harrison Jr. (94 vs 93 Prospect Grade).
Posted a better PFF Receiving Grade than Marvin Harrison Jr. (93.1 vs 89.6).
Posted the best single-season YPRR (3.64) between him & Marvin Harrison Jr.
Has a better NFL.com grade (6.86 vs 6.83) than Marvin Harrison Jr.
It’s totally FAIR if you have him ranked WR1.

@GregCosell loves LSU WR Malik Nabers:
Interesting comp, was watching Daniels tape earlier today and obviously saw some Nabers and, despite having watched Nabers a lot before, it struck me that he DID look like Deebo with the ball in his hands. He’s like this cross between OBJ in his routes and catching style and turns into Deebo or Boldin after he secures it.
I don’t know man. I like him better than Marvin and it’s no knock on Marvin. Im going to need to see landing spots but sheesh. He could be my WR1.
