The New York Giants can go in several directions with the No. 6 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, but it seems the experts are honing in on one special prospect in particular.
With just a few weeks to go until the start of the draft, the Giants have needs all over the roster. They could add a special wide receiver talent to help Daniel Jones or they could look for Jones' replacement with an early pick.

A special talent at WR
Much of the talk about the wide receiver class revolves around Marvin Harrison Jr., but many experts and draft analysts have both Harrison and Nabers in the same tier. Had Nabers come out in a different year, there's a good chance he'd be the unquestioned WR1 of the class.
Nabers would immediately walk in as the team's WR1, filling a void they desperately need to address. The Giants haven't had a true WR1 on the roster since Odell Beckham Jr., and replacing him with another LSU star would be a fantastic move.
Quarterback still on the board
Whether it's smoke or true, there is still plenty of buzz that the Giants could come away with a quarterback. With three expected to go off the board within the top three picks, the Giants likely would be settling for QB4 in this class so they may hold off finding Jones' replacement if that's the case.
An elite TE
Bowers is a fun prospect because of what he brings to the table as a chess piece in the middle of the field. Brian Daboll's love and history working with the tight end position makes the Giants a solid landing spot for Bowers because the head coach would know how to use him. But the far more pressing need comes as wide receiver.
