Malik Nabers publicly questions Giants’ draft pick

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers was not necessarily a fan of one of his team’s first-round picks.

The Giants nabbed linebacker Arvell Reese of Ohio State when he fell to them at No. 5 overall. Reese was clearly the best player available when the Giants were on the clock, and the team decided not to pass on him.

Nabers was a guest on Micah Parsons’ NFL Draft livestream and questioned the pick in real time. He questioned the Giants picking another pass rusher and suggested the team made a mistake by passing on safety Caleb Downs.

“Don’t get me wrong, I love the player, but where do you play? You wanna be on the outside and rush but we just drafted somebody last year to do that same position,” Nabers said. “The reason why I said Caleb Downs is you have to get them when they’re available. And, because we just traded (Dexter Lawrence), we need interior D-line.”
