Are you ready for Hakeem?

April
24

Maybe not. I’m still thinking that “Braylon Edwards trade is dead” talk is just that. If Jerry Reese really wants Edwards, he’ll get him. So I believe he’s going to head into the 29th pick with a veteran receiver in hand and take a linebacker in the first round.

However, if the trade doesn’t go through and the Giants take a first-round wide receiver, I believe it will be the North Carolina kid, Hakeem Nicks. They may like Darrius Heyward-Bey of Maryland better, but they won’t get high enough to take him. So they’ll grab Nicks, a guy who can make the spectacular catch.

Bet the house on it. And then find yourself a cardboard box to live in. I haven’t hit one of these predictions in years.

    Would Nicks be a starter right from Game one?

  2. 12345

    Manimal:
    No.

    12345:
    Bet he goes late second round.

  4. 12345

    bet britt goes late first round

    I think I am comfortable with Nicks… I don’t think I want Edwards for a 1 and a 4. 2 AND 4 OK. NOT 1 AND 4. OR JUST A 1.

    NICKS also seems more physical than DH-BEY…We have speedy guys like Hixon and Moss already.

    You want a veteran… bring back Toomer.

    I’m sure if the opportunity presented itself… they would trade up for Maclin or Crabtree if they fall to a manageable trade spot.

    Toomer is not the answer to the receiver questions we have. We need a field stretcher, not a possession guy.

    There’s no way we can get high enough for Crabtree.

    Why the fixation with edwards? phil simms said that he gets the yipps . He had only one good game and that was against the giants.Get the cardinal dude.
