NFL Draft Analysis: Hakeem Nicks

Posted Feb 28, 2009
Hakeem Nicks is part of a very talented group of wide receivers this year, and he's probably the fifth best among them. Texas Tech's Michael Crabtree, Missouri's Jeremy Maclin, Maryland's Darrius Heyward-Bey and Florida's Percy Harvin will probably all be drafted ahead of him. Nicks could be an ideal No. 2 wide receiver in the NFL; there will be quite a few teams looking to draft him between the end of the first and the middle of the second round. (KFFL.com)
