Will Hakeem Nicks (North Carolina) & Brian Robiskie (Ohio State) be available, in your view, when we are on the clock? Also, which, in your view, would make a better fit for the fins and why?

I think Nicks likely will be off the board at #25. He fits what we need at receiver (a large, possession guy like Boldin) - if he's still available, I think the FO would strongly consider him.

Robiskie will definitely be available when we pick at #25, but I bet we pass on him - the value just isn't there IMHO. If he's around in the 2nd round and we didn't draft a receiver in the 1st round, we'll probably give him a good look.
 
Well Nick is a Great receiver , Robiske is a 3rd or 4th depth chart receiver that isnt special. if you watched OU games no one would like him, but he had one good workout day and everyone is on his nads
 
There are a lot of misconceptions about Brian Robiskie out there by people who don't totally understand football. Brian's production fell off his Senior year for 2 reasons. The first was the Buckeyes benching of Senior Todd Beckman in favor of Freshman Terrell Pryor which had to be done. While Beokman was the better passer, the Buckeyes needed Pryor's supreme athleticism after Beanie got hurt. The second reason was an injured shoulder that took it's toll on Brian all year.

If you take Robiskie, you get a big (6'2 210), fast (sub 4.5 40) receiver with great hands who runs crisp routes and understands the position better than most receivers coming out of college. His best days are ahead of him and he'll be a steal in round 2.
 
Brian Robiskie is is probably one of the safer picks in this draft class.If you pick him you know you are getting a 800 to 900 yards a year WR for the next 10 years who very well could do better then that.

With Nicks, you have a guy who may be the next big thing.A 1200 to 1500 yard WR.

I'd pick Nicks over Robiskie in the 1st but who ever picks up Robiskie will be getting a very good WR for years to come, and like many others here i think he'll be a steal any where after the 1st round.
 
I would take Nicks with the 25th pick.... or at least strongly consider it....
 
I would not take Nicks in the 1st round. I would take Robiskie in the 2nd round. I think Robiskie is going to be a better receiver than Nicks. I think Nicks is good for a lot of dinking and dumping passes but Robiskie can get down the field and break the long ones. Nicks is good while Pennington is at the helm but a QB that can get the ball down the field I would take Robiskie. I think Robiskie just might be underrated.
 
Robiskie would be a great 1st round pick for a regime like Cam Cameron and Randy Mueller. But thank goodness we have a real regime now who understand how to build an NFL team properly.

Their 40 times were the same and Nicks had a higher yards per catch than Robiskie. I just don't see Robiskie coming even close to Nicks.

But, because his father has taught him everything he knows (pro player and coach...played for Phins too...), it also means that he has already had very good coaching, so there is less upside...basically with Robiskie..."What you see is what you get..."
 
i like both players about equally. it's a matter of where we'd have to pick them. we'd have to pick Nicks in round 1 IMO. he won't last until #44. Robiskie will be there IMO. just imagine someone like Everette Brown and Aaron Maybin take a nose-dive and stare us in the face at #25 (unlikely, i know), i'd be pretty upset if we took Nicks. i'd be perfectly happy if we ended up with Robiskie in rd 2 in that scenario though.

if Nicks is heads and shoulders the best player available at #25, i'd be pretty upset if we didn't take him. you can't really say "would you prefer Nicks in rd 1 or Robiskie in rd 2". it depends on who else is available at #25 and #44 respectively.

You might want to try looking beyond the statistics because stats can be deceiving.

Robiskie's production isn't anywhere near Nicks'. Robiskie has not shown the ability to put up a dominant performance in his college career.

Robiskie's best game ever was a 9 catch 153 yard performance against some place called Youngstown State. His next best games, IN HIS CAREER, are 4 catches for 107 yards against Washington and 8 catches for 90 yards against Minnesota.

Just check his gamelogs. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/player/gamelog?playerId=174003&year=2008

If he can't dominate college opponents when he is already very well polished, how can he do it in the NFL?
