Hakeem Nicks

[Purple Punishment]

This kid is killing the opposition for 7rec 210yds so far in the Meineke Bowl. Should we give this kid a look?

[codizzle]

heck yea.. not saying much for wva d but he was a freaking beast in the game. i wonder where he is projected to be drafted

[codizzle]

he's only a junior this year . he hasnt decided if he's staying or leaving early. he has some injury problems in the past also but he's still a beast

[Purple Punishment]

yeah he is definitely a beast. he looked a little showboatish on his first TD reception but he was beating guys all day long. I bet he is 3rd tops

he would fit right in here . i wouldnt mind having someone on offense showboating epsecially if we had something to showboat about.

[Purple Punishment]

yeah maybe we buck down and pick him up in the 3rd or 4th rd

[Ed_Reed20]

Nicks is a playmaker but he is a junior and might not come out. I hope he does though because he has the all the tools to be a #1 receiver. His teammate Brooks Foster is a senior and he is pretty good too.

[Purple Punishment]

yeah, I think we could snag him in the 2nd or 3rd round. Hes a great player but may not get alot of respect coming out of N.C. We can address other issues with our 1st and 2nd round picks while still getting a good receiver. I still believe we are going after a FA receiver as well

[Canes21]

i like nicks and i would love if we drafted him in the 3rd round. hes gone up against some decent Ds and still produced and he also hasnt had very consistant QB play.

[Purple Punishment]

I wanna see this kid in Purple!

I would love to take Hakeen Nicks in the second round. He is an amazing talent and I have been watching him for a long time. He just declared for the draft. Here is the link if you want to take a look. I think another WR that we should take a look at in the later rounds is Brandon Tate from UNC. He unfortunately got injured during the year but he is a great young man and was having a fantastic year. He is 6'1 195 lbs and ran a 4.45 40-time as a junior and in my opinion is even faster in a gametime environment. In the five games before he got hurt he had 16 receptions for 376 yards 3 TDs. Not to mention he had 11 rushes for 143 yards and 1 TD. Plus on 7 punt returns he had 158 yards and a TD then on kick returns he had 11 returns for 305 yards. I think he would be a great 4 or 5th round pick for us. Trust me he can stretch the field and he is going to be special because he is a playmaker.

Here is a link for Nick's decision.

yeah I heard about this yesterday evening. i am only wishing we acquire him now!

[FlaccosFlock]

Yeah if he has a good combine I see him climbing into the first round! If that happens I think we have to get him!

[Purple Punishment]

yeah then we have to assess which WR we take when one or 2 are left for us to pick. We never have had luck with drafting receivers. However, I believe theres just too much talent at WR in this draft. 1st or 2nd round, theres somebody for us!

[wspencer]

i doubt nicks will sniff the first round. you have to remember what defense he was playing in that bowl game.

[Purple Punishment]

no he wont make it to the 1st round, definitely 2nd rd though. if he has a great combine!

[FlaccosFlock]

I'm not just basing what he has done off the game against WVU. I thought he would have been a great pick before that game. He has had a great season. If he has a great combine he will go late 1st or early 2nd.

[Ed(TheMachine)Reed]

Since Nicks is most likely a 2nd round pick, they should save there 2nd round pick to try drafting him with that pick. Then using their first round pick on a DE to help ngata.

[Purple Punishment]

we need to replace Chris McCalister
