I never put too much into these things -- but, I'm happy Hakeem & Ramses were able to catch the ball. ... They still have a long way to go.
The New York Times: Tom Coughlin Q: How good was it to see Hakeem Nicks close up today for the first time? A: It was good. It was something that we were looking forward to and I thought Ramses and Hakeem both did a nice job of catching the ball today. We will see if they can come back and do it a couple days in a row. Q: What specifically do you like about the two receivers? A: They caught the ball. This morning they caught the ball well. Q: Just in terms of their physical attributes? A: They caught the ball well. They are both big, strong receivers. I think they will both be able to go inside. I know that they both will be – studying them as hard as we did– they will be good in the green zone as well. That is where it stands.

Russell might hold back DHB. I wanted us to get him. He is raw and would need time to develope but working with Haley would have helped him. If he went almost anywhere else, I'd say he would develope into a legit #1 and a threat to be one of the top WRs. At Oakland he will most likely be a bust. They didn't even use Randy Moss effectively and JaRussell sucks.

DHB can't do that, because he doesn't have great hands or good body position, nor does he run good routes. He's basically nothing but straight-line speed. |

The only thing that will hold down DHB is the fact that he can only run one route. And he doesn't have great hands. Other than that, he's set.
Right, Troy Williamson? |

I'm not trying to compare the two as players, only saying Oakland won't be able to develope DHB if they couldn't even use Moss. He needs to develope. He should have went to a different school to begin with honestly and then he should have stayed all 4 years. Maryland had QB problems and no other receiving threats besides DHB. If he was in a better situation, I don't think people would be questioning him as a prospect. He was a huge reach at 7 due to being a raw prospect, but the talent is there. The good news for us is that Oakland will most likely never develope the talent and he will be a bust for them.

NY got two of my favorite receivers in this draft. I think Nicks is going to become a solid pro sooner rather than later, and Ramses will be an exciting guy to watch develop.

In slight defense of Bey, if he is going up against NA a bunch it has got to be an eye opener. That guy makes his living taking existing #1's off their game.

Jesus, sometimes teams don't start top 10 pick QB's for a whole season for fear of them losing confidence. Then again, sometimes teams don't start top 10 pick QB's because they won't sign a contract, and will eat potato chips until they are big enough to play RT. |

Drafting WRs & QBs with a first round pick are hard to predict, and notoriously known for high busts. It's hard for WRs to come in and play well -- I could be wrong. I'll find out soon enough, when CBs line up in coverage and jam him, and he's able to seperate & get the ball off. I'd really like to see him burst, turn him the CB & keep running down the field. .. lol Watch this impressive catch Nicks made yesterday. Now, if he can do that in Sept. and not shoot himself, I'll happy. Coughlin's a good offensive coach, especially w/ WRs & RBs. ... you get a glimpse of Coughlin teaching rookie WRs fundermentals. Nicks #18. Barden #13 http://www.giants.com/player/ivideo-...%5Fwired%2Eflv Nice Hands -- High One handed catch

So, everybody is already counting out DHB after a few of practices? Sounds sure-proof. After all, I believe everything that is posted on here. Especially since Bowe, our number one, caught 8 passes for 137 yards and ZERO touchdowns against the Raiders(specifically, Asomugha). I guess I can expect the Raiders to go 0-16 because their number one draft pick dropped 3 passes during PRE-PRE-SEASON practices.
