The New York Giants selected LSU wide receiver Malik Nabers with the No. 6 overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft.

After three quarterbacks went with the first three picks followed by Marvin Harrison Jr. and Joe Alt, the Giants had their chances to go with Nabers, Rome Odunze or their choice of remaining quarterbacks.

They opted to go with the star wide receiver in Nabers, who will slide right into the WR1 role immediately for Daniel Jones in Brian Daboll's offense.

Giants select Malik Nabers with No. 6 pick

Nabers is an easy selection here for the Giants. He's a rare breed of wide receiver who can win at all levels of the field. He's an electric playmaker who instantly adds value to the passing game, which is something the Giants desperately needed.

Nabers can work both on the outside and in the slot, but it's likely he will be used primarily on the outside with the Giants. He enjoyed an incredible season in 2023, recording 89 receptions for 1,569 yards and 14 touchdowns.
