Should Victor Cruz be drafted before Hakeem Nicks?
Hakeem could be a top 5 receiver for years to come, but Cruz has that something.

    Nicks! He had numbers very similar to Cruz while injured. If he stays healthy, he will be above Cruz in most statistical categories. He is also going to have some relief this year. Last year he received much of the double teams and safety attention because he has been proven for a few years now. However, Cruz (though he should have gotten it) received less attention because he was seen as a flavor of the week, month, year...

    Nicks is the choice. Yes he has a foot injury but expect teams to focus on Cruz with no real TE and no Manningham. Cruz is also not proven

    i've got to go with cruz. he put up more points last season than nicks has ever done. giants just need a replacement for manningham to ensure neither guy gets over-covered.

    Hakeem Nicks. Much more proven talent wise.

    I don't think so. Nicks is the better and more consistent performer.

    Hakeem has been mixed up with injuries a little each year while Vic stayed healthy all last season. I agree, Hakeem should be more consistent, but it's tricky!

    No. Draft Nicks before Cruz. Cruz has the ability to turn a broken play into a TD, but Nicks is a proven guy.

    This is a question I ask myself. When Nicks is healthy, there aren't too many WR that will out produce him (including Cruz). Nicks is a big play threat every time he's on the field so I like his value a bit more. My only gripe w/Cruz (who I think is great) is he got a lot of YAC by breaking a lot of tackles. I just can't assume he will be able to break all those tackles again this yr. I would take Nicks just ahead of Cruz but I'd be happy w/both

    Totally the right answer, but I think a lot of people will take Cruz because he reminds them (Ok, fine, I'm talking about myself) of a young Steve Smith.

    Cruz is a slot guy, too. With Jacobs gone, the middle o the field will be all Cruz. More chances, but also more recognition from defenses.
