Of the players I seen, I can’t have Barkley and OBJ over Nicks. That 2011 playoff run was legendary with 444 yards and 4 touchdowns. I don’t care they trump Nicks in regular season yards.

OBJ should absolutely be above Nicks, but Saquon should absolutely not. Given that they are just 2 spots apart, I won't look at it too harshly.

OBJ has 800 more yards than Nicks, though he did it in crazily 20 less games and nearly double the touchdowns. OBJ was insane, but the Super Bowl run was special for Nicks.

Giants receivers have been poor. Plaxico isn’t making the list with him being #20 all time for receiving yards. Crazy with him having a top 5 moment all time. Hilliard and Cruz are likely out as well meaning only Toomer, OBJ, and Nicks will make the top 100.

Where are you getting the information that Cruz and Plaxico aren't making the list?

I watched the entire introduction video with Bob Papa, Corey Webster and Sehorn and it doesn't seem like they ever really explained what the criteria they used to make the list was. If it's not based on some sort of formula that takes into account tenure, championships, stats and it's just kind of opinion based then it'll be pretty pointless trying to predict anything. 

I'll predict top 5 though:

LT
Strahan
Eli
Huff
Gifford

Possibly Carson

It’s my prediction based on where Nicks was. 

Interesting. I'll guess Cruz makes it. The numbers are almost identical and I think there is more of an emotional connection to Cruz as a local kid, underdog, etc.

I think it was between him and Nicks and he won due to having a better Super Bowl run.

Yep- totally understood your argumentation the whole time but Cruz is more recent, had a stronger emotional tie to the area being from Paterson and fans just generally took to him way more than Nicks. It's a subjective list meant to excite fans so I think some of the direct logic is deprioritized.
