Among the three this season, Nicks has the most catches (45) and touchdowns (eight), but the lowest average yards per reception (11.7). Britt averages the most yards per catch (18.9) but he has the fewest receptions (23). [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]’s numbers are solid across the board – 30 receptions, 458 yards (15.3 average) and six touchdowns – and he is coming off the best game of his career (seven catches, 159 yards, two touchdowns against Atlanta).
Question: [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] has had a great start to his career, but it kills me watching Hakeem Nicks and Kenny Britt tearing it up this year. Those guys were selected after [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] in that draft and their body size seems like the perfect compliment to a guy like DeSean Jackson. What was your view on those players in the draft and what do you think now?
Didinger's Eagles Mailbag: Titans Game Fallout
Answer: That’s a good question especially this week with Britt and Nicks coming off huge games. Britt killed the Eagles (225 receiving yards, three touchdowns) and Nicks did a number on Dallas (nine catches, 108 yards, two touchdowns). They are both very good receivers, but I’ll still take [link widoczny dla zalogowanych].

Answering your questions and commenting on your comments, here is today’s dip into the mailbag.

Question: Would you agree with Garry Cobb that the best defensive tackle on the roster is Antonio Dixon?
Bottom line: you can’t go wrong with any of the three. There isn’t a stiff in the bunch and that’s unusual when you are talking about receivers in the first round. The washout rate is very high. Darrius Heyward-Bey was the first receiver taken in the ’09 draft and he looks like a total bust. Nicks and Britt are good, but I’ll still take [link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
In the 2009 draft,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I had [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] rated as my No. 2 receiver behind Michael Crabtree. I had Percy Harvin third, Nicks fourth and Britt fifth. I rated [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] higher than Nicks and Britt because (a) he is faster, (b) he is a better runner so he will get more yards after the catch and (c) he was a good kick returner in college so he offered more versatility. I was wholly in favor of the Eagles trading up to draft him.
I understand what you are saying about Nicks and Britt being bigger and more physical and therefore a good compliment to Jackson. Nicks is 6-0, 210 pounds. Britt is 6-3, 215. [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] isn’t as bruising a player as Nicks, who is in the mold of an Anquan Boldin, and he doesn’t have Britt’s power forward body, but he is big enough at 6-0 and 200 pounds and he can be physical (check his block on Jackson’s 31-yard touchdown run last week).
