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.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
