He is a big strong fast kid.
I dont know about the best, but he is damn good.
The Giants were looking for his type.

Crabtree and Maclin were obviously not available.
Even if they were, I think the Giants would wish both
were more physical receivers like Nicks. (ala Pexiglass)

Imo Crabtree is lots better than Maclin. Nicks is very good.
He did not get to strut his stuff in college quite like the first two.
