Except nobody was happy with those signings. They were dismissed as band-aids on a gaping wound. Jerry didn't want to sign Nicks, so he went with two (relative) cheapies with less than stellar reputations.
So sick of that disclaimer. Just because you're the #1 guy at your position doesn't automatically make you a first rounder. Some teams had Nassib as the #2 QB. Didn't mean he had to be overdrafted.
He certainly didn't come out of Tennessee with a reputation for blocking. Parcells used to mock him as a "pass catching TE" in order to motivate him in the blocking department.
