Should / could the Chiefs draft Jordy Nelson? - Page 6

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?

Found this link in draftdaddy's blog...Looks like he's fast enough....I'm sure he's faster than the Houston Texans' Kevin Walter (4.6 coming out of E.Mich), and he's on pace for a 1,000 yard season.

Obviously, Jordy has not run the 40, so it's weird that Pro Football Weekly (gives him a 4.6) and other draft sites list his 40 time

I'd dedicate a 1st and 3rd rounder to o-line, a second to wr or cb, and if that wr or cb isn't a dynamic kick returner need to dedicate a separate pick to a good kick returner. But for sure at least a 1st & 3rd to o-line, I don't care if we draft o-line first four rounds, its a weakness.

It's pretty obvious Jordy doesn't run in the 4.5's. The last time he ran the Forty was last year when he had a knee injury. He missed at least 5 games last year. He's now at 100% and he's a legit 4.35 - 4.45 guy. Just watch him play. Aquib's 40 time is 4.39 and Jordy torched him when they played. Say he runs a 4.35 at the combines, his stock will soar.

Jordy Nelson 6'3 WR 220 lbs 4.35 Forty

Pros- catches everything thrown his way
has top end speed
big and physical/ breaks tackles
playmaking ability
route running
vision/ YAC
great character, very humble
great special teams player

I honestly don't know what cons the kid has.
I guess maybe he isn't extremely quick off the ball but idk. It's not showing this year.

When do you guys think Alvin Bowen will get drafted? I wouldn't mind seeing him come in and play back up and ST, then maybe replace Edwards in the future?
