I like Hakeem Nicks too and I had us taking him in one of my earlier mock drafts. However, the Raiders, Jaguars, Bears, Eagles, and Dolphins could possibly take him in the 1st round. It's funny that I've been seeing more and more mock drafts with the Jets taking Nicks before he falls to us.

Another rumor is that Rex Ryan really likes Troy Smith and wants to trade us a 4th round pick for him. Why am I not even surprised

[52Kia Kaha92]

really, nicks at #7 overall, wow thats insane
About Troy Smith, i would only give him up for a secound rounder as he is very valuable to us but we wont get that because Cassel got a 2nd rounder so unless NYJ wants to part with there second they cant get him, although id gladly give him up for Darel Revis lol

Doesn't surprise me either
4th would be fair market value, but his Baltimore value is a 3rd round pick. In other words, unless we can get a third for him, we need to hang on to him

I'm really REALLY high on Nicks. He runs good routes, catches the ball with his hands and is spectacular with the ball in his hands. He isn't a blazer but he is fast enough and he has good size. The Ravens could go in a lot of directions with their pick and maybe play it safe but I think Nicks could be the real deal.

[BloodRaven]

I have him at second best WR, his gametape is just too good. A lot of people have him behind Britt and I can see the why they like him, Britt is tall and rangy but hes a possession west coast type of guy, Nicks does everything as well and has YAC moves.

[20ravens52]

i'd also love to get nicks for reasons already stated.


i am also glad he is not 5'8.

I disagree, I really like Nicks but i think Britt is the all around better WR. I think Britt is much more then just a possession guy. He makes plays all over the field. He averaged over 17 ypc and 98 yards per game for his career. Britt is very good after the catch as he uses his size and srength extremely well. Imo Britt is one of those guys that can take over a game but not have one highlight catch.

I think Britt and Nicks has the same type of game, the only thing is Britt is 6'4 and Nicks is 6'0. I think the Ravens would be happy to come away with either of these kids. My only concern about Nicks would be that he didn't really seem to stand out away from Brandon Tate until this season after Tate's injury.

Crabtree will get all the hype this season, but Britt or Nicks could end up being the steal of the draft. I think either one of those guys would fit well with Joe. Cam would love to have a guy with Britt's height strenght, route running and speed or a guy with Nicks strenght and speed. Both of these guys have good hands and good game speed, neither guy has a problem blockin or being physical going across the middle.

I like both guys but i think Britt will ultimately have the more success in the NFL but not by much.

Hakeem Nicks is Anquan Boldin 2

GET HIM OZZIE!!@#!$%

i disagree. I think Nicks is good and will continue to be good in the NFL, However i don't think he is as good as Boldin.

Hes not as strong or physical as Boldin but hes quicker and faster. If you want to compare him then physically hes a clone of Dwayne Bowe but with better moves.

UPDATE -

Hakeem Nicks had his pro day, he weighed in at 226 pounds and many believe this has droped him a bit, so he might fall a wee bit, we could now trade down a bit and still get him

this is great news

[Fred Sanford]

These chumps are fine, but they don't have explosive potential against NFl defenders. Darrius Heyward-Bey does. Guys from colleges outside of Maryland, who do they think they are? I say draft Maryland players every chance we get, not those non-Maryland college attending Benedict Arnolds. It's carrying on the tradition of the Battle of North Point on the modern gridiron!

agreed.. if we did get a third though, there goes the suggs package..

thats what i've been saying in my mocks all along.. trade down and take the 5th WR off the board (crabtree, maclin, DHB, harvin... 5-Nicks IMO)

[Numatic]

I dont like Hakeem Nicks. He came out of no where and I thought his combine sucked. (he dropped 3 balls in the gauntlet plus a slow 40). No one was talking about him before the combine now hes on everyones top 5 what is up with that.

I could be wrong he could be great but i dont know for now

We can always find some athletic qbs from college (a la patrick white, but he would be too high a pick)

To the above poster, if you look at the film, you would know why we are so enamored of getting him

[Numatic]

every WR has good game tape in this draft. but hes not as explosive as DHB or Percy Harvin or Maclin

[RoflDogs]

Btw, I rechecked the combine stuff, and he only had actually 1 drop in the gauntlet
because one ball was like 3 feet over his head which made it totally uncatchable

[Numatic]

oh my bad then thought i saw him miss more

[52Kia Kaha92]

nicks is the man, so stop dissin player lol

[Adam Jones]

I was really high on Nicks for a long time until recently. He played at UNC where he had two other good recievers to take pressure off of him. Brandon Tate and Brooks Foster were also both on the team. Another thing that bothered me is that he came out of the ACC. Now don't get me wrong great recievers have came out of the ACC like Calvin Johnson, Andre Johnson, and Anquan Boldin but the confrence isn't the same. He couldn't do anything against Kevin Barnes at Maryland.......

[jezzy]

i like nicks but i rather have a guy with size n speed so joe can throw the long ball like britt or barden but if nicks is there he good to cuz they do compare him to my favorite alltime wr micheal the cocaine cowboy irving

[Ed_Reed20]

Nicks isn't huge but he isn't small either. He is over 200lbs. and at least 6'0.

Homer pick! you have been muted

[Ed_Reed20]

I read in a Sporting News draft magazine that Nicks compares too Anquan Boldin. They have him as their 9th best receiver behind his former teammates Brooks Foster but I really hope the Ravens get him.

[Ravensl52ewis]

Hakeem Nicks is the worst pick you can make. He is only being called a late first round pick, because of the Ravens. DHB, Kenny Britt, and Brian Robiskie are much better, because they all have high potential. DHB is my favorite, because Ravens have no deep threats. Kenny Britt and Brian Robiskie could be the next TO or Anquen Boldin.

Percy Harvin and Hakeem Nicks will be busts. Ozzie sucks at picking Wide Receivers so I suspect he will draft one of these two. Hakeem Nicks is a early or mid second round WR pick.

I also really hope we don't get Percy Harvin. All we need is another injury-prone player. I think if the Titans draft a reciever it will be him. Plus we just signed their returner so they could use Harvin as a returner until he cracks the lineup as a big time reciever.
Nicks def is not the worst pick but I've been wondering about him. You say Nicks is a second round prospect well so are Britt and Robiske. I think it is a lil bit of a stretch saying Robiske & Britt will be the next TO and Bolden.

What are you talking about? Nicks is being called a late 1st rounder because he put together some great performances late in the season and is quality player. DHB is physical freak but he is raw. Britt is big and strong but he is supposedly a diva. I really like Robiskie because he does everything you want a receiver to do but he is slim and isn't very athletic.

I agree with you about Harvin but Nicks has the same chance at being a bust as DHB or Britt. To me, Robiskie has the least chance of being a bust because he runs good routes, has great hands and blocks very well.
