Should / could the Chiefs draft Jordy Nelson? - Page 4

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?

After that, there were 2 and 3 blue shirts around Jordy every time the ball came near him.

Was it Talibs fault they doubled up on Nelson?

Thats stems from the fact State really doesn't have any other threats on passing downs.

Poor Jordy.

Assuming we're drafting 15-22, and assuming he comes out.....

Four words:

Left Tackle Michael Oher.

It wasn't "his fault". KU did the right thing. But it was apparent after one play man to man that Talib wasn't going to shut down Jordy. Not sure what there is to argue here.

I think Jordy will go too high for the Chiefs liking. I thought maybe we should pick up Yamon Figures in maybe the 5th round. I was very surprised when he went in the 3rd round.

I'd like him, but we aren't going to get him.

Theres not really an argument.
Both are great athletes.
Sure, Nelson had a great day. Best of like to him in the NFL.

Jordy reminds me of Matt Jones of Arkansas. Jones surprisingly went in the 1st round to Tampa Bay. Could happen to Jordy.

Well, if you are considered one of the fastest players in college football, your stock will go up, regardless of position.

IIRC, Figures was a 4.3, and was a heck of a special teamer as well as a receiver.

Nelson is at 4.4/4.5 IIRC. I don't mind if the Chiefs got him on the first day pick, but at the same time, everybody in here is talking about how shitty our offensive line is.

So, is it wise to draft a WR over a need? I understand the term of "drafting best player available, regardless of position" but this years class of O-Linemen is pretty strong and deep.

Thus far, they are on par for a 8-8 season, which would be around the 14-20 slots.

With this team assuming no blockbuster FA deals, I hope we take BPA first day, regardless of pos, no more than one at any pos, except OL where we could take two or even three in the unlikely event that bpa at our as of yet unknown slot is OL. No defensive players should be taken first day excepting a stud corner, DT or OL and even those guys better be close to a sure thing.

Any deviation from that is utterly stupid.

BPA, nomatter what

On the NFLDC ranking where they don't have any underclassmen listed as of now, Jordy Nelson is 43rd for WR's.

Also if that mock played out like it has and the Chiefs do about what we all expect, they'd be able to draft Sedrick Ellis.

If Jordy Nelson is only the 43rd best senior WR in the country, my name is Nick Athan.

Many of the "rankings" at this point are garbage. It's based on pre-season hype, exposure, etc. Jordy was damaged goods last year, dragging around a banged up knee. This year, he's healthy, and dominating. C'mon Mecca, you've been following the draft long enough to know that mid-season college rankings are crap. If Jordy continues to put up big numbers against good competition, at his size/speed and with his intangibles, he'll be a top 10-15 WR in this draft.

Mecca · 10-17-2007, 11:07 PM

If he's going to be top 10-15.....he better get his 40 time down which is listed at 4.5-4.6
