Could Malik Nabers or Rome Odunze be taken over Marvin Harrison Jr.? | Joel Klatt Show

Which Wide Receiver would you draft first?

Didn't see much Westcoast football. However, I watched Washington 4x last year. Penix Jr. is really good, but the catches in tight windows and late grabs from Odunze were AMAZING.

Nabers is the Maserati and Odunze is the Benz. I’m taking the Benz. Lol. Honestly both are going to be among the top receivers in the league. Nabers can be more explosive after the catch but Odunze will get to and catch EVERYTHING. At the end of the day that’s the point. With the run on QBs at the top it’s hard to believe Odunze will be available at No. 9 where 🐻 are picking. Licking my chops.

Mhj worst game was The Game? Did you see the hail mary throw to him and him drag a michigan player committing dpi like 5 yards to catch the ball

I mean, not for his antics, but if I was a GM i'd take Odunze. That dude is a generational talent.

Marvin is better then nabbers without a doubt

Odunze is gonna be a good pro. Nabers has a lot of upside from an athletic standpoint. Harrison Jr is the total package. However,this is about getting a job, and those who are liked the best gets the job most times.

Dudes a BEAST!

MHJ has been the 3rd best WR in college football since Week 7.

Really love your point about NFL playoffs and contestant catches. People poo poo contestant catch ability and enamored by the explosiveness but when Travis Kelce catches that touchdown against Kyle Hamilton, he was a much slower less explosive player

Marvin Harrison Jr has that natural killer instinct.

I am alittle partial because I see so many pac 12 games. I would take Rome, he is the biggest most physical of the 3 guys and as you guys went through it at the end he is the guy who is gonna win when its dirty, he is is gonna get your chains moved, he is gonna catch that back shoulder or high and away ball for the score. He has beast hands, he is also the best blocker of the 3 guys, hes the most complete. MHJ is not gonna have all those highlight reel run away catches in the nfl, he will still be a good reciever dont get me wrong and I like Nabers too, 3 strong WR picks in the first round for sure. But if you want a guy who will never give up on the route, fight for every catch, fight for every yard for the running back thats coming on his side, and has a relentless work ethic...Rome is the guy. I am saying this as a Utes fan as well, the guy is incredible.

Give me Nabors. 4.35 40 and played in a tougher conference.

Marvin Harrison is totally different…😒 What makes him totally different?? What separates him from Nabers? He’s definitely not more athletic, nor was he more productive in 23-24 season! #BIAS

Joel, Don't second guess yourself. Picking Marvin Harrison Jr. as the best , was the best choice.

Its like comparing AJ Green and jamar chase

To me, it just seems that LSU receivers tend to get slighted when it comes to projected draft ranking. Just a coupla years ago, everybody was saying that Devonte Smith should be taken ahead of Ja'Marr Chase. And look how that turned out...

I think it's possible that Nabers could go ahead of MHJ, but I don't think Odunze would... I think MHJ & Odunze kind of fill the same space. Something else to consider though, is the new kickoff rules... Sure, IDEALLY you wouldn't want your 1st round pick returning kicks... But if you give Nabers the ball with that much space & opportunity in front of him, it could be magical.

depends what teams rank those receivers. like the cards i think they go marvin. gm come from the patriots, love prototype players, which is marvin. the chargers, i think harbaugh would prefer nabers. dog, edge, attitude player. i dont think any team got odunze or brian robinson no.1...

I don't have a dog in the flight. I don't care who goes first. However, last season, Marvin did nothing. One double digit catch game. Didn't take over. Had multiple 4 catch or less games. He looks the part, but they expect him to be better against better competition in the NFL? I'm sure he's a good kid and I hope he proves me wrong. But I think OSUs hype machine has been helping this kid for their recruiting sakes. Good luck.

Dude Napers had Jayden Daniels and MHJ had McCloud

Never pass on a 1st Round LSU Wr............NEVER

If a GM takes Nabers ahead of MHJr, they’re a total idiot. MHJr is huge and was clocked above 22mph this season. He also only dropped 2 passes with CJ Stroud as his QB.

Joel is all in on MHJ. There is no talking sense to him. Nabers ran a 4.34 today at pro day. He fast. Naber's YAC is ridiculous.

Naber hilights equal no press coverage.

The teams up front don't need a WR that has nabers skill set they need ones that will catch a ball. Also he had a good game vs michigan. Made some insane catches. That slant that got picked I don't think he was expecting mccord to throw a slant on a inside leveraged manned up corner. That was stupid. Hints why he ran to Syracuse.

if you go with Odunze or Nabers over MHJ, you have to be right... if not they says: thats the guy who drafted him over MHJ..

YAC yards are not Harrison's forte, unlike Nabers.

What was MHJ’s 40 time?

They are cappin. MHJr will be the 1st WR off the board, bros.

Go watch that notre dame game this year. 3 catches for 37 yards. Thats the worst game i saw marvin play

I don’t think these guys realize how bad and afraid McCord was. MHJ different

It’s so funny how Joel klatt can’t see pass Harrison’s last name

Its laughable that Neighbors is even considered better than Harrison Jr. He’s not and its not even close when you look at both player’s ceilings. Harrison Jr is way faster and speed is one of the most important components a wide receiver can have

Dennis Thomas Jr is a sleeper

followed his career at lsu ,nabers is my #1 receiver in the draft . but all 3 will be pro bowl receivers , can't go wrong with any of them , cards have penciled in mhj for months ,, we'll see

That's why that team is picking in the 20"s

That's why that team is picking in the 20's

No

None of them are ever right btw… neither are the teams either lol. Just look back.

Klatt is the same dude that voted for Penixs Jr. as his hiesman winner, so that tells me everything I need to know about him. There is no metric where MHJ is better than MN !

This is so laughable. Not only is MHJ the best WR in this draft but he’s the best player period. The film don’t lie. Best prospect since Calvin Johnson or Julio Jones. He has no weakness! Big frame, fast, body control, route running, pedigree, contested catches, spectacular catches, work ethic, humble (like his dad), etc etc. I can literally name 50 things that makes him the best. Nabers is nice for sure but outside of his speed there’s NOTHING else he does better than MHJ. Lets not forget MHJ didn’t have a heisman qb this year (McCord not even a starter qb imo) and still was considered the best WR. Can we say Nabers or any other WR would do the same with a back up qb?

MH IS A HUGE TARGET. reminds me of Johnny Football throwing to Mike Evans. TB12 to Mike Evans... just a huge target. So MH is #1 WR

Nabers had over 1000 yards receiving and over 70 receptions in 2022. MHJ had 5 more receptions and 200 more yards playing one more game. He did have more TDs as he had Stroud as a QB instead of recently transferred Daniels. As for Odunze yeah nah.

Absolutely nothing wrong with Odunze, or Nabers. However, MHJ has been the projected #1 WR for a reason. Passing up a guy who is that gifted, has that work ethic, that lineage, that size. You’d be a fool.

I think Nabers could be better, but MHJ is more of a sure thing. Rome is just a worst version of MHJ, not saying he’s bad but you’d never take him over MHJ.

Media hype aside please.....no WR is going before MHJ it's not going to happen. If...IF MHJ is the BEST PLAYER in the draft (and I believe he is) he will be the first WR taken. PERIOD!

This is stupid Joel is a Big 10 homer of course he’s biased for MHJ and Odunze they both are in conference or will be soon. Go to an SEC show and they’ll talk Nabers up more bc of region of audience
