Should / could the Chiefs draft Jordy Nelson?

Kylo Ren · 10-17-2007, 12:42 PM

I know it's really early to talk about such things, but what the heck.

Mitch Holthas, on the radio the other day, was saying that Nelson would become a really good NFL player and the Chiefs would be lucky to get him. He said that he plays on all special teams and can play all WR positions. He said he's just a "natural football player" and predicts that he will be a star in the NFL. He's 6'3", 213 lbs. I don't know what his 40 time is.

What do you think of Jordy in red? Pipe dream?

I would love to see the cheifs draft him! I watched him first hand in the KU-K-state football game a few weeks ago. It's amazing to see a white reciever run that fast!(lol) Great hands also!

WRs and RBs are the easiest people to plug into a system, imo. If it were me drafting, I would do it like this:
Year 1:
Build oline/dline as best possible. These are the positions that require the greatest scheme knowledge and teamwork.
Year 2:
Get your MLB, QB, CBs. supplement oline/dline as needed.
QB doesn't start until his second year (year 3).
Year 3:
Draft your OLBs and safeties, supplement where needed.
Year 4:
Wideouts, supplement where needed, add depth.

My point is: we need to build our Oline all over again and draft our CBs before we even think about another wideout.

DBO82 · 10-17-2007, 01:02 PM

I wouldn't mind Aqib Talib in a later round.

Extra Point · 10-17-2007, 01:05 PM

OL's and CB's are the weakest links in the Chiefs chain. We're fine at WR for the next two years, even with EK leaving after this season. Nelson would, however, be a great replacement for Drummond, who should be gone after this season.

BigRock · 10-17-2007, 01:06 PM

I don't even think he'd be a first day pick, would he? Maybe I'm underestimating him. But I could see him being a Wes Welker type. He'd be a good pickup around the 4th round or so.

Same here. Talib and Nelson would both be great picks.

ferrarispider95 · 10-17-2007, 01:14 PM

Definitely take him, he is one of the players that you know you would get everything from him.

From what I've heard he's a 1st day pick. Good corners are really tough to find.

I wanted the Chiefs to draft Figurs last year to return kicks.

I'd be happy if Nelson ended up in a Chiefs uniform. We'll have an open spot at WR when we cut Parker.

JBucc · 10-17-2007, 01:20 PM

The Kansas City Chiefs 2007 draft class
1. Darren McFadden, RB, Arkansas (Converted to QB)
2. Felix Jones, RB, Arkansas (Nice change of pace RB to replace Bennett/Priest and a superb kick returner)
3. Jonathan Liugs, C, Arkansas (Big strong center used to a RB going up his ass. Perfect for our running scheme)
4. Peyton Hillis, FB, Arkansas (Can do it all. Excellent blocker and a great receiver)
5. Marcus Harrison, DT, Arkansas (He'll probably go higher than this, but for the purposes of this draft he's a nice 5th round choice)
5. Marcus Monk, WR, Arkansas (Might have gone higher if he wasn't injured. Will be a nice possession receiver along with Bowe's explosiveness.)
6. Michael Grant, CB/S, Arkansas (Really fast and probably more built for CB)
6. Matt Hewitt, S, Arkansas (Another late round steal at safety. Will finally send Wesley to the curb)
7. Weston Dacus, LB, Arkansas (White dude to replace Boomer)
7. Nathan Brown, QB, UCA (D1AA or whatever the hell they call it now QB. He's badass)

*note: I might be missing some draft picks or have some rounds wrong.

**Anyong Bluth** · 10-17-2007, 01:21 PM

Talib is day 1 for sure, and with all the pub KU's getting he's not going to slide under anyone's radar. Nelson, would be a day 2 pick, but I think will outplay his draft position.
I'd be very happy to have those 2 picks

You make a good point. I don't know if that is the correct formula or not. But, O-line is vital and our O-line sucks. But, we have 11 picks in the 08 draft. So, if we were to go LT, Jordy, C, G........... or whatever, it wouldn't hurt. You're not going to draft 11 O-linemen. If Jordy is a 2nd round pick, I'd love to see Herm pick him up.

Does anyone know his 40 time?
