Private workout for Hakeem Nicks

Per PFT: Nicks sheds his February fat

Eyebrows were raised when North Carolina receiver Hakeem Nicks shot from 212 pounds at the Scouting Combine to more than 225 at his Pro Day workout only a few weeks later.

Nicks apparently has regained his girlish figure.

Per a league source, Nicks is back down to 212.

We’re told that he weighed in at that number earlier today at a private workout with the Carolina Panthers.

Still, the sudden weight gain at a time when Nick should have been getting on the scale seven times a day will continue to cause some teams to wonder whether he’ll pack on the pounds whenever left for a short period of time to his own devices.

And Ding Dongs.

i'd much rather take Tate later on in the draft *dies a little bit more on the inside*

I think Tate has been overlooked because of Nicks. It's very possible he drops to us in the 4th which would be a steal IMO. He could have easily been a 1st-2nd round pick if it wasn't for the injury. He will still be recovering his first year, but we don't need him to make an impact right away anyway. Adding him with Jarrett and Robinson would give us a great group of young receivers for the future.

Tate later in the draft would be a good pickup...Nicks in the 2nd would NOT be a good pickup. He's talented but we have other more pressing needs.

Not to mention I've heard that there is a good chance Nicks goes in the 1st round, which seems completely retarded to me. I don't see how he is worth a 1st round pick at all. I'd say he's probably worth a 2nd (especially late 2nd) but like you said we have other needs and are short on draft picks as well, so I'd much rather pass on him, even if he's there.

he could be great, we need other things first. Fox always takes best player available

we don't even have a first round pick so this is not an issue

i think you're right. bigger immediate needs for sure. if he is the BPA i see us taking him but the likelihood of him being there when we pick in the 2nd isn't very high. i could see him dropping down to the 2nd but not far.

i do like the idea of brandon tate, especially for the long term but i would rather see us address the bigger and more immediate needs. if fox/hurney goes BPA ....that may mean that we take tate but i don't see that happening unl;ess they know he is going to be healthy enough to start next year. if they are in win now, mode, i don't see them drafting project players which is what tate would be.

I would love to have Brandon Tate but I think that Kenny Moore can be just as explosive and does not cost a draft pick in a year that we don't have that many. (I think we still have him don't we)

I do not see Nicks coming here. I think he'll go late first and if NYG sees him sitting there he will be a Giant.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
