RSJ Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 from what I have seen he reminds me a lot of Boldin. Great hands, big frame. The kid has it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmike1 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 It's Nicks... He's good but I kinda view him as a Cotchery type over the middle guy. His teammate Brandon Tate is a much better deap threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetheelz Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 His teammate Brandon Tate is a much better deap threat. Not true, Tate is more dangerous as a return man. Nicks should do well in the NFL. He's been very reliable at Carolina and has good speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a lot of that team this season and I'd much rather have tate. I think Nicks will be good but Tate could be a TO type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have seen alot of them this year, you have not seen much of Tate. Injury cut his season short, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know but I saw him live and in a few games earlier in the season. I think he could be a great pro. I think Britt will be a better pro than Nicks because of his size.

Jetheelz Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Let's compare the stats for Tate and Nicks here at UNC. Brandon Tate-In his career at Carolina, he had a total of 46 receptions, 927 total yards, and 8 total touchdowns as a WR. Hakeem Nicks-181 receptions, 2,840 yards, and 21 touchdowns as a WR. He did all this in 3 seasons. Tate's real talent is at returns. Nicks is by far the better all around receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are guys in college with 3000 yards that won't even be drafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmike1 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Ok. Hopefully he will get drafted then because he makes for good company. He will defiantly be drafted. Thats not my point. I just think that Tate has a higher NFL upside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetheelz Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 He will defiantly be drafted. Thats not my point. I just think that Tate has a higher NFL upside. And if you are basing that upside on what he has done in college, it would be the fact that he is a good return man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmike1 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 And if you are basing that upside on what he has done in college, it would be the fact that he is a good return man. He just looks to me like a home run hitter in the NFL.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetheelz Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 He just looks to me like a home run hitter in the NFL.... I hope he is. I want to see all UNC players do well at the next level, much like I am sure you want to see all Rutgers players do the same. However, if it were draft day and I were choosing which guy (out of Tate or Nicks) to draft, I would take Nicks, and I wouldn't think twice about it.

Tate might drop becuase of his injury and could be a really good value pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aqua4ever04 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 You like him so much you combined his first and last name! I'm huge on the Nicks bandwagon; I think when all the off-season stuff is done, he'll be a top 15 pick. He's a guy that will wow you at the chalk board and in the interview, and then go out and impress you even more on the field. Very good player with his head on straight.

SouthernJet Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 OK, North Carolina season ticket holder here..have seen all the games for several years.. Nicks is guranteed starter gold IMHO as far as NFL standards are concerned..He has muscle and YAC along with unreal hands..the guy makes alot of catches one handed.. I think he is a Jerry rice type (same size/speed ratio). Dont get me wrong, no one will be as good as Rice, I just see him as similiar type, aka, strong, catches balls and does most damage via YAC. I actually agree with Madmike and Jetheelz..I think they are both right... Tate has done most damage via returns, but that is due to the idiot coach, John Bunting, we had before Butch Davis. He never gave him a chance at WR. Butch came in and said WTF and started playing him at WR. So Tate was learning on job last 2 years. He got better every single game and this year before he got hurt UNC was scary due to teams being unable to double both. Tate has killer speed and is strong as an ox so his upside is huge as far as a home run hitter WR gamechanger, along with guaranteed return man for a team. He is well worth a 3rd/4th round flyer (he drops due to injury). Could Tate have surpassed Nicks as a WR if he had Butch as a HC and had played WR for 4 years? maybe.
