osi724dasack Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Not enough respect IMO. He's a top 20 NFL player IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazedDogs Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Not enough respect IMO. He's a top 20 NFL player IMO. Definitely a top 5 receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osi724dasack Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Definitely a top 5 receiver. Yup 4th best WR IMO. Fitzgerald Andre Johnson MegTron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Not enough respect IMO. He's a top 20 NFL player IMO. If we're talking the entire NFL and every positions, he's definitely top 40 IMO. But knowing these lists, they probably have place kickers and less impact position players ahead of him.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allstarjim Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 He hasn't yet had his best season. If he can beat the injury bug, and put together 16 games, he's going to put up numbers we've never seen from a Giants' receiver. He simply can't be covered 1 on 1, I don't care if you put Revis on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I laugh at every single one of you who had Jeremy Maclin rated higher and got pissed when we drafted Hakeem Nicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueInCanada Posted May 3, 2012 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 I laugh at every single one of you who had Jeremy Maclin rated higher and got pissed when we drafted Hakeem Nicks. I honestly question which Giants board you were on. I know people had Nicks v.s. Britt debates. I dont recall a single person saying we should of gotten Maclin.

osi724dasack Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I actually preferred Britt but I was more than happy with Nicks Britt Harvin Nicks Heyward Bey Crabtree In that order was the WRs I wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you know Cruz is on this list ahead of Nicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Oh the Kenny Britt fans were just misguided. I honestly question which Giants board you were on. I know people had Nicks v.s. Britt debates.

BleedinBlue Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I remember the draft well and I thought we had "settled" for Nicks because the best receivers were already off the board. I had visions of William Joseph when we settled for him after the rest of the DT's had been scarfed up ahead of us. Nicks however, turned out to be the best of the bunch and a very, very pleasant surprise. We struck gold that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked up some old threads talking about our pick in that draft and pre-draft discussion. Nas was all in on Nicks early... Tree was skeptical at first, but after a week or so from the draft, he was a believer... some of these guys were funny in there disdain for the pick... looking at you Dub! http://www.sportswrath.com/index.php?showtopic=28636 http://www.sportswrath.com/index.php?showtopic=28178 http://www.sportswrath.com/index.php?showtopic=28706 http://www.sportswrath.com/index.php?showtopic=28787 http://www.sportswrath.com/index.php?showtopic=28823 http://www.sportswrath.com/index.php?showtopic=28794 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allstarjim Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I was in on both Britt and Nicks, I said before the draft I would take either one of them and would be happy. To be fair, when Britt has been healthy, he's been very good. But we did get the best one out of that draft, Reese chose wisely. I remember Nem had a hard-on for a while for Heyward-Bey.

Allstarjim Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 By the way, Bleedin', you had some great pre-draft analysis that year. Someone brought up Robiskie and you said he was at best, a #2 wide receiver. Todd McShay called Nicks a "potential #2 receiver". What a clown. Kiper gave him more credit.

Sephiroth Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Dude is a flat-out beast. I can remember comparisons after the draft to Anquan Boldin (who many wanted in FA that year) and at this stage Nicks is definitely a better player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herc Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 i always look at nicks' 2010 season when he was the #1 fantasy WR for the first 11 weeks of the season before that weird compartment syndrome injury. last year he had cruz dipping into his looks and he didn't salsa dance so he didn't get much attention despite having the best postseason for any wr ever. at this point i'd take him over andre johnson--he's younger and not as brittle.. calvin johnson i can't argue with though i think nicks is more complete. i'd take him over fitz but that's probably my own personal bias. i dont think jennings is in the same class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
