What the Giants might do at wide receiver in the 2024 NFL Draft

Given where they sit, at No. 6 overall, it is almost guaranteed that one of the top three wide receivers will be on the board.

That means Marvin Harrison Jr. (Ohio State) or more likely Malik Nabers (LSU) or Rome Odunze (Washington) could be the next Odell Beckham Jr.-type impact weapon for the Giants.

The cupboard is not bare, with Wan’Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton, Jalin Hyatt, and Isaiah Hodgins all returning and newly signed Isaiah McKenzie added to the roster.

A true No. 1 target is badly needed, though, and this wide receiver class is stacked.

Nabers is a separation machine (coach Brian Daboll loves separation), Odunze blends size, speed and contested catch prowess, and Harrison (who is not expected to be there at No. 6) can do it all.

If the Giants go quarterback in the first round there are receivers for them early in the second.
