This year’s NFL Draft class has a good chance to go down as one of the very best ever, and it isn’t only because of the top three or four quarterback prospects.
There are also at least three top-level wide receivers available this year, and that list begins with Marvin Harrison Jr., Malik Nabers, and Rome Odunze.
While many feel Harrison is the best WR prospect this year, there are those who would say Nabers is even better.
Nabers did his part to promote his talent by saying “there’s nobody that can stop” him on the field, per NFL Network.
Could Malik Nabers be WR1 off the board?

Nabers excelled in 2023 as a member of LSU, catching 89 passes to put up 1,569 yards and 14 touchdowns.
While some may be inclined to dismiss some of his success by pointing out that he played with Jayden Daniels, one of the top QB prospects in this year’s draft, Nabers is a unique talent in his own right.
He reportedly ran the 40-yard dash in an elite 4.35 seconds at his Pro Day, and scouts think highly of his burst and explosiveness, not to mention his ability to add yards after catches.
If he is indeed the top wide receiver in this year’s draft class, his first opportunity to get his name called on day one of the draft could be at pick No. 5, which is held by the Los Angeles Chargers.
While some feel the Chargers will go with offensive tackle Joe Alt, the team badly needs a bona fide threat at wideout, and Nabers could give QB Justin Herbert an outstanding target for many years to come.
