I don't understand how Malone would be ranked ahead of Core and Erickson when he has had zero NFL production thus far, and is also extremely raw.

Draft position was based on potential, but Core showed excellent coachability.  They raved about how quickly he picked up the nuances of NFL route running.  Erickson had an outstanding rookie season after a slow start and is also a capable backup slot WR.  

Malone has done nothing thus far.
