Malik might not be the physical freak that Marvin Harrison Jr is, but he sure as hell knows how to play wide reciever better than anyone in this draft. He reminds me alot of Jamarr Chase, not necessarily in playstyle, but in measurables. He's not the tallest or fastest guy, but he is going to find a way to get open no matter what you do defensively to him. And when he gets the ball in his hands he's going to fight tooth and nail for EVERY yard.

I would ABSOLUTELY LOVE to see Malik get picked ahead of Marvin.

Malik is going to be a beast at the next level.

But I also think BTJ is going under the radar. I honestly see him being a problem in the league for years to come.

Extremely doubtful, but it would be nice.

Prior to his injury in the 2021 season, Boutte was incredibly. Kayshon Boutte pre-injury and Malik Nabers have nearly identical measurable and playstyles. Boutte wat a top 10 lock based on a half of season of film. He just didn't recover from the injury right, and he couldn't emotionally handle the adversity of his poor recovery.

Marvin DEFINITELY has the higher ceiling because of his genetics, but it doesn't mean Marvin is currently or will ever be the be the better wide reciever.

Someone wanting a WR is going to have to chose between one of the best overall package wide reciever in years or one of the physically gifted WR prospects in years.

Accurate.

Malik and Jayden are likely the second picks at their positions which are going to push them in their careers.

I guarantee you in 5 years he’ll be the best WR to come out of this draft. Nabers is really great and will have a good career. He probably runs the best routes out any player in this draft.

That being said, BTJ is one of the best WRs I’ve ever seen. His routes have gotten more crisp with each season and he’s not far off. His hands, catch radius and athleticism is elite. He’s under the radar because he didn’t have nearly as many targets as Nabers the last 2 seasons. Daniels and Nabers had incredible chemistry. That was his go to guy his 2 seasons at LSU. I still think BTJ finished in the top 5 for TD receptions.

Nabers and BTJ are both very good and will both have good careers. I just believe BTJs game translates better to the NFL.

Malik is a Michael Thomas clone of his first 3 years with the Saints....before the attitude.

More hysteria here. MHJ has about 3” height on MN and thats it… same weight so not sure what physical freak you are talking about.

Malik is a statistical freak compared to Marvin…

One head scout for an NFL team thinks BTJr is a better long term bet than even Malik. He's in the minority, but hey it only takes one team to reach up.

Both of them are great and will build on our WRU reputation for years to come.

Edit: Quesadilla might be the scout I'm talking about. :-)

This exactly. What makes one a physical freak? Nabers is faster, can high point the ball better, run better after the catch, etc. So Harrison being a bit taller equates to him being a physical freak and not nabers?
