Should / could the Chiefs draft Jordy Nelson? - Page 2

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?

And that is just as important as talent, ability and stats when it comes to the NFL draft.

Talib is a Jr. But he may come out early.

Our draft should be:

1- LT
2- RG (or CB)
3- CB (or RG)
4- C, FB, or another of above (per best value)

Any deviation from that is utterly stupid.

Kylo Ren · 10-17-2007, 01:52 PM

In order of priority: LT, CB, C, KR/PR, G, FB, RT, WR, DT

Not too dissimilar to my draft suggestion. I do agree that if a super returner available around the 3rd round, we should seriously consider him.

I don't know about signing a returner that high when we have other issues. Just finding someone who knows when to take a knee would do till we fix the Oline.

Drafting a returner is a waste of a pick imo. You can easily sign special teams players.

Hog's Gone Fishin · 10-17-2007, 02:00 PM

I've always thought if it were me I would always draft defense and build offense through free agency. A fast young defense is what it takes in the NFL and proven talent on the O.

KevB · 10-17-2007, 02:00 PM

Jordy will be a first day pick, barring injury. He's big, very fast, tough, has put up big numbers, plays on special teams....there will be quite a few teams that fall in love with him. I'd compare him to Anthony Gonzalez from Ohio St. last year, who went at the back of the first round. I think Jordy ends up a 2nd round pick, and will be a good NFL player.

I did not say a "retuner." I said a "super returner." If there's one why not draft him when he can put us 15 or 20 yards closer to the goal line. Those yards are a lot harder yards for an entire offense to gain.

With the attention KU's getting, and his success, he's most likely an All-American. I'd be shocked if he doesn't bounce. Athlon had him 3rd team for preseason.

Doubt highly he gets taken 1st day. I like the kid, but he's not gonna get picked 1st day. WR's are left and right, unlike a premium for CB. I think Jordy, as someone else compared earlier, is more like a Welker- not a Anthony Gonzalez. He makes for a solid 3rd down WR, and I really think he could be superb. That's why I said he's going day 2, and I think he'll end up playing better than his draft position.

Kylo Ren · 10-17-2007, 03:10 PM

Hello? Does anyone know his 40 time? Is he fast or average or slow or what?

7.3

(trying to discourage liking him so that people want OLine draft picks instead)

Kerberos · 10-17-2007, 03:22 PM

What ... What .... You know we NEVER draft a lineman above the 6th round.

Jezzus what are you guys thinking?
