Here's some more info on Hakeem Nicks:

When I watch him on film I think the guy looks really slow.

It's probably just me, but man, it looks like he is moving in slow motion.

I'm sure he took the test sometime during the draft process, but I don't know how he scored.

Here's some more info on Hakeem Nicks:

Speaking on NFL Network, Charley Casserly said that Hakeem Nicks couldn't run ten routes without being gassed at a workout last week and didn't finish the workout.

Nicks apparently lost the weight he gained after a hamstring injury, but is still out of shape. Mike Lombardi also worries that Nicks could struggle to separate at the next level. The issues could cause Nicks to slip into round two, ala Dwayne Jarrett.

He's so quick

Gee, wonder why? Couldn't be the following over the years could it?

1) Quincy "Dr. Q" Morgan

2) Antonio "I run out of bounds on my own" Bryant

3) Denise "Pittsburgh is my favorite" Northcoont

4) Mikey "Dyson Tyson" Jackson

5) Tim "I'm like really, really fast" Carter

6) Braylons "I'm pretty dropping dem balls" Edwards

7) Paulie "Glue Hands" Hubbard

Rico "Don't call me Carty" Smith

9) Patrick "I really am better than Brennan" Rowe

10) Frisman "I can throw it 90 yards" Jackson

Get some decent WR's in here that we can rely on to catch the football, play smart, block downfield and not be me first guys.

I go with Maclin and Robiskie if I could get my two. Crabtree scares the crap out of me with his shot at being Ocho Stinko Jr.

He's got great hands and is tough to bring down, but those concerns probably make him a fringe first round pick. It's possible that he'll still be on the board when the Browns pick at #36.

Not to change direction on this thread but did Josh Cribbs have a wonderlic score?

It seems a lot of people think he'd be there at #36.

If you wanted the guy you better not plan on him being there at #36. If you want him bad enough you may want to make a deal to move into the late first round.

The guy has had a problem with drops. But, he's a big athletic receiver. Personally, I'd rather take Robiskie at #36 and that isn't being a homer. One of the most underrated players in this draft is Nicks. Not super fast but has great hands and makes the tough catches over the middle. He's climbing the board though and could end up in the middle of the 1st round.

It's just hard top say where he is going to go. Kiper has him going in the first round.

cout.com Player Evaluation: STRENGTHS Downfield Threat Elusiveness with Catch Red Zone Weapon AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT Hands and Concentration Route-Running Skills Britt is a physically gifted receiver with tremendous upside. He has great size, good strength and is a dynamic playmaker down field. He’s versatile; he can play inside or outside, he runs good routes and uses his long strides to his advantage. He’s not afraid of contact and makes a lot of receptions over the middle. He’s outstanding after the catch and runs with purpose. - Chris Steuber, Scout.com

I like recievers that are hard to bring down, here are some examples:

Dez Bryant_________________________________________________Anquan Boldin

Hines Ward______________________________Jerry Porter

I like those WR's with a good Height/Weight ratio

Josh Buchanan, of NFLDraftBible.com, reports Northwestern State WR Dudley Guice said during an interview that the New Orleans Saints, the Miami Dolphins, the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Atlanta Falcons, the Cleveland Browns and the Indianapolis Colts are among the teams showing the most interest in him.

WR Guice demonstrates blazing speed at workout

The official Northwestern State (La.) pro day is March 19, but one scout showed up on Tuesday, so the school held an impromptu workout.

WR Dudley Guice put up some impressive numbers on the outdoor FieldTurf track. He checked in at 6-foot-2 1/2, 209 pounds and ran a 4.40- and a 4.43-second 40-yard dash. That time would have ranked him among the fastest participants at last month’s combine. He also had a 39-inch vertical jump, 10-foot, 5-inch broad jump, a 4.01-second short shuttle, a 6.61-second three-cone drill and 12 bench-press reps of 225 pounds. It is also noteworthy that he has 34-inch arms — a good measurement for a wideout.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have released receiver Matt Jones, an NFL source told ESPN's Chris Mortensen.

The former Arkansas player was charged with cocaine possession in July.

He was suspended for the last three games of the 2008 season for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy. In a plea deal, Jones entered a program that emphasizes treatment.

Jones was released a day early from jail Saturday during a weeklong stay for drinking beer in violation of his plea agreement for a drug charge.

The Jaguars picked Jones in the first round of the NFL draft in 2005. Before his suspension last season, Jones was having the best year of his career, with 65 catches for 761 yards and two touchdowns.

it's called 'good coaching.' i had to look up how it happens because i haven't seen it in so long.

You know who actually looks really bad on tape... Martin Rucker, he looks straight up awful. He comes out of cuts SLOW AS HELL. He catches with his hands which is good, and has O.K. straightaway speed, but he looks so un-coordinated running any kind of route its quite laugable. I did notice he runs strong though, looks like he's hard to bring down.

Outside of that I really want to see is for us to find some way to land Breaston in a trade.... How does that happen, how do teams pick these guys up in the fifth and sixth rounds and turn them into viable starting material.

TheJokersWILD said:

He's definitely a big kid! I like those big WR's. I never saw him play much. Any videos on Youtube?

I say we make a move to get breaston, too bad we got rid of WInslow because I would have done that trade straight up. How about DA for breaston and a third or fourth?

@playgroundlegend said:

i like Malluguguguga too.

where is he falling in the draft? seems like a stud player. i'm surprised more people aren't talking bout him.

@shepwrite said:

Plus, the Browns have Winslow. In theory, at least, the Big Two are former Pro Bowlers Edwards and Winslow.

It seemed to me that both guys thrived when the other receiver was a big possession receiver (Joe J.). Stallworth could move into the slot and be replaced by someone like Bryant Johnson or a third round pick who doesn't have to be crazy fast. And Joe J. is coming back.

I think both Steptoe and Hubbard will be on the roster next year, with an eye toward Hubbard becoming a #2, which might be a little pie-in-the-sky at this point, but who knows. He's big and he can run and jump.

No, the Browns do not have Winslow.
