Better Than Chase? Malik Nabers Is the Next Instant Redraft Sensation and Should Be the Rookie 1.01

Shawn Siegele
April 24, 2024

On a recent episode of Ship Chasing, we ended up joking about both multiple universes and my contention that the battle for rookie 1.01 went six players deep. Pat and Pete suggested that I split myself into six individual Shawns and make the case for each.

This is that series.

And it’s just in time to help you calibrate expectations before the 2024 NFL draft. Assuming all goes to plan, we’ll release all six today, and then tomorrow I’ll have a 7,000-word examination of my Pre-Draft 2024 Top-50 Rookies. Beyond ranking the players, it will dive into each bio with pros and cons on every prospect.

I’ll then update the top-50 list live throughout Thursday’s draft before the Friday’s live Stealing Bananas with Ben Gretch for Day 2.

The Rookie 1.01 Series

Caleb Williams Is Closing on the Overall 1.01 . . . and Should Obviously Be the Rookie 1.01
Malik Nabers Looks a Lot Like Ja’Marr Chase or Odell Beckham and Should Be the Rookie 1.01
Brock Bowers Is the Generational Prospect of All Generational Prospects and Should Be the Rookie 1.01
Jayden Daniels Is an Intoxicating Mix of Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow and Should Be the Rookie 1.01
Marvin Harrison Is a Throwback WR Superstar and Should Be the Rookie 1.01
Drake Maye Is a Rich Man’s Mix of Josh Allen and Justin Herbert and Should Be the Rookie 1.01

“Look, you wanna know the truth? I don’t really care about the stats or the cup or the trophy or anything like that. In fact even the games aren’t that important to me. What matters to me is the perfect throw, making the perfect catch, the perfect step and block. Perfection. That’s what it’s about. It’s those moments. When you can feel the perfection of…...
