Malik Nabers is already a star. Entering his third year in the NFL, the New York Giants wide receiver is already knocking on the door of the league's top ten wideouts. As dominant as he is, he's not enough to carry the passing game on his own.
Rookie Malachi Fields has been encouraging so far, but the rest of the room is filled out with short-term veterans. The Giants could still use an injection of talent at wide receiver to set Jaxson Dart up for success.
Luckily, the 2027 NFL Draft class boasts some of the best wide receiver prospects in recent history. If the G-Men are looking for another wideout to add to the mix, they won't have any trouble finding one.
5 WRs Giants should already have their eyes on for the 2027 NFL Draft
Rutgers prospect KJ Duff is one of the more physically imposing players in college football. He's six-foot-six and 225 pounds with the catch radius to match his frame. While he may not have the speed of some other prospects, he can win over almost any cornerback at the catch point. He's a classic ball-winner, coming down with 61.1% of his contested catch opportunities last year.
Duff and Fields fill similar roles, but the Rutgers wideout is too intriguing to write off before the season starts. It can't hurt to have two contested catch monsters on the roster.
Another big-bodied "X" receiver, Omarion Miller, found the end zone eight times for Arizona State last season. Like Duff, he lacks elite speed, but his body control and strong hands separate him from the pack.
Miller will need to silence concerns related to his effort this season. If he does, he'll push for a spot in the first round in next year's draft.
Charlie Becker became a breakout star during Indiana's run to the national championship last season. He was used primarily as a jump-ball receiver, but his routes are refined enough to access all areas of the field. He has some of the best hands in the class and didn't drop a pass all season.
With Elijah Sarratt and Omar Cooper Jr. now in the NFL, Becker will be pushed into the spotlight. If he can hold up against opponents' top cornerbacks, he could come off the board in the top 15 picks next year.
You may be starting to notice a trend. This class is full of "X" receivers with elite contested catch ability. Texas wideout Cam Coleman combines ideal size with dangerous speed, threatening defenses over the top. His production was somewhat limited by poor quarterback play at Auburn last season, but he should have a big year with Arch Manning throwing him the ball.
Coleman would be the first receiver off the board in plenty of draft classes. Unfortunately for him, this class holds one of the best prospects at the position in years.
Jeremiah Smith has been a star since he stepped onto Ohio State's campus. He's everything you could want in a receiver, boasting a six-foot-three frame and 4.32 speed. He's surprisingly agile for his size and consistently creates separation at the top of his routes.
Smith is a legitimate Heisman contender this season. If the Giants are in a position to draft him, it will mean that their season went horribly wrong. The superstar receiver prospect wouldn't be a bad consolation prize.
