WR2-3 tier talent going round four; elite prospect with excellent injury recovery trajectory.
Matt Harmon ranks Malik Nabers next to DeVonta Smith and AJ Brown in the WR2-3 tier despite going in round four; he's the only tier-one prospect from his class who has "slam dunk" delivered on NFL expectations. Even at 85% of his career production, he'd match historical third-round WR averages like T. Higgins and Z Flowers. With no WR competition on the Giants (Darius Slayton not practicing) and the team likely improving from 31st in scoring when he was healthy, Harmon expects rapid ADP correction upward. Nabers suffered an ACL and lateral meniscus tear in week four with delayed surgery, followed by a setback requiring a second surgery to remove scar tissue; however, rehab has progressed well since the second surgery and he appears on track for week one availability. His role in year two was diminished compared to his rookie season under Russell Wilson's scheme (25% go routes on charted routes), and his after-catch ability may be initially diminished upon return from injury, though this is a point to monitor.

That's where I'm ranking him right now. And he's been going in round four. I think that this is going to correct really quick... towards ACL and lateral meniscus in week four... Then he had a setback. A second surgery was needed to remove scar tissue that was restricting his rehab. But it seems like ever since that second surgery, uh, the rehab has been going great
