I think Nabers really should be viewed more as a 1b to Harrison's 1a. And if that's the case and he's more Ja'Marr Chase than Tee Higgins, he's worth the two 1st rounders.
He'd be a force multiplier at that point. A guy who makes both Rice and Kelce better by virtue of his mere presence in the offense.
Now you have to believe that's who he'd be - a guy who becomes one of the best 10 receivers in the NFL. But I think he very well could be that guy. If you think he can be CeeDee Lamb then he's worth it vs lets say Franklin becomes DeVonta Smith.
Would I give DeVonta Smith and a future 1st for Lamb? Of course. Without hesitation.
When I watch those two, I come away thinking Nabers is 1a to MHJ's 1b. I know that's not a popular opinion with "experts", it's just what I see.
Nabers with Mahomes wouldn't be fair to the rest of the league. Goodell would probably veto it if we somehow got into position to get him. [Reply]

Someone is gonna take Bowers hoping he can have a Kelce-like impact on the passing game, but he's not nearly as big so matching up safeties and big corners on him isn't going to be a major issue. [Reply]

At 6'4" and 240, he's still going to be bigger than almost any safety/CB on him.
"He's not nearly as big" isn't entirely accurate. He's a little smaller than Kelce, but not a ton. And it took Kelce some time in the league to develop the grown man strength he has now.
As a baseline, there's nothing wrong with Bowers, IMO. He'll be a very good player. [Reply]

He's that big? Dang. For some reason looking at him I woulda thought like 6'3" 230 at best. [Reply]

I do agree with Dante - we need to get some legit height/weight measurements from him.
The combine may make a big difference for him. If he comes out at 6'2" and 225, he may fall like a rock even if he runs well.
Like I said, he looks on the fringes of big enough to me. And if my eyes have lied to me, that could make a big difference. But he was always awfully physical at UGA and it's not like the SEC is full of cripples and midgets out there. He never looked undersized on the field.
