Malik Nabers

  • Most Often Selection: Los Angeles Chargers

The most likely outcome has been the Los Angeles Chargers select Malik Nabers with the fifth overall pick. The Chargers are re-tooling their offense after trading away Keenan Allen and releasing Mike Williams. The team would be pairing Malik Nabers with arguably the best young quarterback in the NFL in Justin Herbert. The positive for Nabers is that he'll get plenty of targets as the team's top receiver while the downside is he'll be the focus of any opponents defensive game plan.

  • Highest Selection: Arizona Cardinals

The Draft seemingly starts with the fourth pick as Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, and Jayden Daniels are seemingly going with the first three picks. The Cardinals are almost certainly taking a wide receiver and Malik Nabers will be in the conversation as the first receiver off the board. If the Cardinals select Malik Nabers, they're getting their next star receiver pairing Nabers with Kyler Murray after allowing Hollywood Brown to leave in free agency.

  • Lowest Selection: Chicago Bears

If Malik Nabers somehow makes it past the Cardinals, Chargers, and Giants who are eyeing wide receivers then he'll almost certainly be a Chicago Bear. Nabers would be joining a completely rebuilt offense with Caleb Williams, DeAndre Swift, Cole Kmet, Keenan Allen, and DJ Moore. The Bears are going to be a serious contender for the next five years on Williams' Rookie contract and they'll have the connection of Williams and Nabers in Chicago for a long time.
