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.

      Tetairoa McMillan - Your 2025 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year - (Welp... Guess I Was Right)

      The bottom line is we saw long stretches this season where T-Mac wasn't even targeted.  He had games where he went an entire half without seeing a pass thrown his way, and it lead to a bunch of games with 5 or less targets.  If he's healthy and we're not up a stupid amount and only running the ball, I can't see him having more than a game or two next year with 5 or less targets. We were also only 22nd this year in pass attempts, and that was with a rookie #1 and no legitimate 2nd option for half the season.  And even then, we were only 46 pass attempts above 31st place. If we go into next season with T-Mac improved in his 2nd season and a healthy Coker for 17 games, there is absolutely no reason for us to not throw it more.  That right away increases both of their target totals without sacrificing any targets from each other or other players, add in them taking targets from the TEs and RBs on top of that, and your argument just doesn't hold water anymore. You can't look at targets/yards in a vacuum and think next year Coker just takes some from T-Mac.  You have to look at the team as a whole and our situations this year and then project what will happen next year. If he's healthy for 17 games, I'd bet my life savings that T-Mac sees increases across the board, targets/catches/yards/TDs.   Just as Coker will also see career highs in all categories, it's not one vs the other, it's shifting offensive strategy given our personnel, which next year will be much better for our passing game (QB issues aside).

      C'mon now.... First, you can't switch up your argument once someone points out a major flaw in your point. You're saying we shouldn't expect a big increase in targets/yards for T-Mac, but then shift to talking about averages with Chase when I point out the significant leap he took there once you factor in his missing games.  He saw an increase in targets in 5 less games, averages aside, he saw a significant increase in targets in his 2nd season, what he then did with those targets is actually irrelevant in this discussion. Puka seeing no increase is pointless, as he saw such an absurd amount of targets for a rookie, it's near impossible to see an increase. But the real issue in this post is that you think I'm proving your point by showing how Waddle had to share targets with Hill. Tyreek Hill was a 1st team All Pro who was 2nd in the NFL in yards that season. If you think Jaylen Waddle sharing targets with a 1st team All Pro and a future HOFer is even remotely in the same category as T-Mac needing to share targets with Coker... then you are certifiably insane, lol. If anything, you could make the argument that Coker is to Waddle as T-Mac is to Hill in that discussion (which would then lead to a serious increase in targets/yards for T-Mac).  But even that is insane, as neither T-Mac or Coker will be as good as Hill and Waddle respectively that season.  I love both of their potential, but c'mon now, T-Mac isn't getting 119 catches for 1,700 yards and Coker isn't getting 117 for 1,350 next season.
