What the hell are you reading?
Where on God's green earth did I type the bolded?

Did you ever watch the kid play, ever? He played with a
poor QB on a team that relied on D and running. Nicks was the
one guy on the team that made a difference. There are a lot of
tall guys that are not strong enough to go get the ball in the air.
Nicks is very strong, I dont care what he is listed at. I watched
him go up between people on very poorly thrown balls and jump
while off balance and catch the ball while getting punished.

Who did you want? And I am not a Giants fan either, the kid can
play. How can you say he its a bad pick unless you got someone better.
If he develops, he will be a very good receiver. Its not fair
to compare him to guys like Crabtree and Macklin. They constantly
had plays run for them. They were on teams that put the ball in the
air every play. Nicks forced NC to throw the ball his way
because they could not do much else, especially later in the season.

I did not say he is Plexiglass, they want someone more like him.
Who else were you going in this draft to fit that bill? Giants had
a good year off. They got Canty, their D is set. They did a good job
in the offseason imo. They should win the East, they improved their
team considering that Plexiglass was done with them.
