Hakeem Nicks

This is the first post in my player by player draft analyses

With the 29th pick in the first round the Giants selected the 6'1" Wide Receiver out of UNC, Hakeem Nicks who is coming out of his junior season where he caught 68 passes for 1222 yards and 12 TD's.

Great pick, in my opinion, it fills a huge hole in the Wide out position left by Plax and Amani. The only knock on the pick is that Jerry Reese didn't trade for a big time receiver like Braylon Edwards, or Anquain Boldin.

Hakeem Nicks is a great route running receiver who has huge great hands that can have a big impact in his rookie season especially since there is no star receiver on this team right now. He could be the number one receiver for the Giants this season and for years to come, with Steve Smith as the number 2.
The knock on him is that he doesn't have the speed to blow you away, but overall great pick.
