Where Will Malik Nabers Land? 2024 NFL Draft Outlook

Former LSU wide receiver Malik Nabers is one of the top prospects in this month's 2024 NFL Draft, and as the value of the position continues to grow, he could be selected earlier than some people realize.

The All-American is seemingly in the mix to be the first wide receiver off the board, though Marvin Harrison Jr. is the favorite to receive that nod for now. However, there's still plenty of time for things to change between now and April 25.

How did Nabers perform in 2023 and at LSU's Pro Day, and where will he land in the 2024 NFL Draft? Let's dive in.

Malik Nabers 2023 Season Review

In one of the best offenses in the country led by Jayden Daniels, Nabers caught 89 passes for 1,569 yards and 14 touchdowns. His longest reception was 51 yards. This came after his 2022 campaign that saw him rack up 1,017 yards and three touchdowns on 72 receptions.

He was narrowly beaten out by Harrison Jr. for the Biletnikoff Award (presented annually to the most outstanding receiver in American college football), and that came with controversy.

Either way, Nabers established himself as an elite WR prospect, and he is expected to be taken as early as the No. 4 pick. He is unanimously viewed as a top-10 selection, especially after his unofficial 4.35 40-yard dash at LSU's Pro Day.

Where Will Malik Nabers Land?

You can never have too many great wideouts in the NFL, so any team could look to trade up for Nabers. However, teams who could realistically take Nabers in the Pick 1-10 range include the Arizona Cardinals, Los Angeles Chargers, New York Giants, Tennessee Titans, Atlanta Falcons, Chicago Bears, and New York Jets. Arizona is now without DeAndre Hopkins and Marquise Brown, but they have been rumored to be all in on Harrison Jr.

Meanwhile, the Chargers moved on from Mike Williams and Keenan Allen this offseason, the Giants are desperate for a bonafide WR1, and the Titans could look to build a top-five NFL receiving corps with Nabers, Hopkins, and Calvin Ridley. It'd be a surprise if Nabers is still on the board after the seventh overall pick, but if he is, the Falcons, Bears, and Jets could all use another high-end receiver to help their "new" quarterbacks flourish.

In all likelihood, Nabers will be selected by either the Chargers or Giants. If the Cardinals prefer him over Harrison Jr., they are in a position to select him before those teams get a chance.

LSU star WR Malik Nabers had dinner with Giants last night + met with Patriots, Titans, Jets & Jaguars yesterday ahead of today’s Pro Day, per sources. He will meet with Cardinals post-workout today.
