Quote from: Uncle Mickey on Today at 11:02:34 AMTackling technique is not picture perfect but his instincts, awareness , quick reaction time and the angles he takes are top notch.
Quote from: spiderblue43 on Today at 08:42:47 AMDave,
I concur. Wpuld rather have a corner, but Nubin is a great alternative.
I can't believe the Commodes traded with the Eagles, handing them DeJean. Cooper is going to burn them. How stupid.
Quote from: Painter on April 26, 2024, 01:48:01 PMNever mind the speculation about where Nabers will line up. He will play wherever he best suits the Giants Offense as was the case with OBJ who began play as a Y- with some Slot- and later became a mainstay at the X-.
While the addition of a talent like Nabers to the Giants usual 6-man Receiver Corps including Hyatt, Hodgins, and Robinson was absolutely essential, it leaves a lot of room for them to keep Slayton this year as long as he's willing. Other than Boykin and/ or a punt returner type, it's not obvious who among the preseason roster would be more useful/valuable.
Cheers!

Quote from: B1GBLUE on April 26, 2024, 11:41:22 AMNabers is LIGHT YEARS ahead of jalin hyatt. not even remotely in the same conversation.B-one: I think you may have gone a bit overboard but I agree he's already better and more NFL-ready than Hyatt. lol
Quote from: sxdxca38 on April 26, 2024, 11:03:11 AMJust off the top of my head Amani Toomer didn't emerge until his 3rd year in the league, however that was twenty years ago.
I personally think Nabers should blossom right out of the gate, or within the first six weeks of the season.
Quote from: jgrangers2 on April 26, 2024, 11:23:16 AMThe Eagles being able to sit back and get, arguably, the best cornerback in the draft when that was their top need is an insane win for them. Thought at least 2-3 corners would have been off the board by that pick. The run on QBs and the Raiders taking Bowers kind of messed things up.jg: This is what I like to see in the Giants' draft... you have a relatively low pick but you get whomever you see as the TOP player in the entire draft (at almost any position). It is possible (according to about half of the "experts") that the Giants did the same. Many had Nabers more highly rated than Harrison, Jr., usually due to the "explosiveness" category, which (I suppose) means if you can get the ball to him, Nabers is more likely to turn little or nothing into a big play.

Quote from: MightyGiants on April 26, 2024, 10:12:05 AMI was intrigued by Brook's and Jeremiah's small study suggesting top 10 WRs have a superior hit rate to the rest of round one. Matt, any chance you can add when each prospect was drafted to your data?Rich: Yes, I should have at least mentioned that high 1st-rounders have a better success rate. Bob
