LSU wide receiver Malik Nabers is one of the most electrifying NFL Draft prospects in recent memory, but which teams represent the best landing spots for him in the NFL?
Nabers is coming off an electrifying season with fellow first round prospect quarterback Jayden Daniels with the Tigers with 1,569 yards and 14 receiving touchdowns on the year.
Here are three teams who could be well-suited to maximize Nabers' impact in his rookie season.

Malik Nabers Landing Spot: Los Angeles Chargers
The Chargers are in desperate need of help at wide receiver after cutting Mike Williams and trading Keenan Allen to Chicago. As it stands, the best receivers on the Chargers roster are Joshua Palmer and last year's disappointing first round pick Quentin Johnston.
The importance that new head coach Jim Harbaugh is placing on the running game makes Joe Alt a likely contender for the Chargers at fifth overall, but it would be a mistake to not use this pick as an opportunity to get Justin Herbert a game breaking playmaker.
It might be considered foolish to use back-to-back first round picks on wide receivers, but teams should be aggressive in trying to correct their mistakes. The Philadelphia Eagles, for instance, followed the disappointment of the Jalen Reagor pick by choosing Devonta Smith in the first round the following year.
The Chargers should go a similar route if Malik Nabers or even Marvin Harrison Jr. are on the board for them.

Malik Nabers Landing Spot: New York Giants
The Giants are also a team totally devoid of talent at the offensive skill positions, but they're also a mess on the offensive line outside of Andrew Thomas.
The Giants have a ton of needs, and it will be interesting to see which direction they go with their first round pick. With so many holes, could a trade down make sense to give them more draft capital and more talented players on rookie contracts?
This is a team that has lacked anything resembling a number one wide receiver since Odell Beckham Jr. was dealt to Cleveland many years ago.
It would be fitting for another LSU Tiger to end that drought, and Nabers would give Daniel Jones a fighting chance to get something going on offense.

Malik Nabers Landing Spot: Chicago Bears
This is where the hypothetical Malik Nabers fall starts to get fun. On the surface, the Bears don't seem like a receiver spot with DJ Moore and Keenan Allen in the fold, but Allen is not a long term answer.
With Caleb Williams assuredly being the pick at first overall, it could be super exciting to give him a game breaking rookie from his draft class to develop alongside.
Further, Moore and Allen are both masters in the intermediate passing game, but neither are explosive ball-winners down the field. Malik Nabers could help this offense take the top off the defense in a way nobody else currently on the roster could.
The Bears could consider looking to improve their defense with this pick instead, but I'd give Malik Nabers a long look if he's on the board.
