theMEAST21 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 While bored down here in richmond, I was looking at different draft possibilities and while I was looking at Aqib Talib (Kansas Corner that a lot of people are high on) I saw a highlight of him getting burned by one fast white kid named Jordy Nelson. The guy is 6 3 and according to the video has 4.3 speed although he's listed at 4.5 speed on scout.com. He is projected, pre-combine mind you, to be a late 3rd to 4th round pick. IMO this kid could be a chris cooley type steal with our third rounder. He addresses our Big Receiver problem without having to invest a 1st round pick in the most fickle first round draft position there is: WR. Also, this way we could address DE/OL/or CB with our 1st and 2nd. If you scroll down the right side of youtube you can also find some more highlights Thoughts?

Smoot Point Really Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 If he runs a 4.3 at the combine, he'll probably go in the first round. It all depends on the combine for guys like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theMEAST21 Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 I agree it could come down to a matt jones type thing here, but he is supposedly one of those players that runs a lot slower than he plays. Let's hope he's one of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tml6157 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Jordy would be awesome to draft but he will go round 3 but id rather trade for CJ baby :notworthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best English Skins fan Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 This is exactly who i want to draft. No need for large contracts and large expectations, take him in the 3rd and let him turn some heads. HTTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BALLz Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Nelson is gonna be good I think. I'd also think we should look hard at Devin Thomas from Michigan State. Thomas would probably have to be a 2nd though. Crazy to think that a guy who was just named an all american at reciever(Nelson) could probably drop to the 3rd or 4th rd. He faced all the same DBs that Malcom Kelly faced and put up much better numbers. Kelly will probably go in the top half of the 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemSkinz Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I think Malcolm Kelly from Oklahoma is better but I wouldn't have a problem with having Nelson. video o Kelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucfSKINS Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 hmm I don't know. He was a QB turned WR, much like Matt Jones, WR for the Jaguars. Personally, I don't want a Matt Jones-type player that underperforms and will take some time adjusting to the NFL. But thats my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see your point, but unlike jones, he at least has experience as a receiver before entering the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjfootballer Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Is it just me or is the combine really boring? I just can't get into watching it. Watching guys do sprints and long jumps just doesn't excite me. I'd rather watch training camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Edds Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I hope we take a shot at a WR in the draft (not 1st round though), and can resist the temptation to mortgage draft picks for over the hill FA players. There is definitely more risk involved in the draft (and likely more time to develop), but the rewards are much, much greater. This guy looks great to me. I want students of the game, not just naturally athletic players. i want players that WANT to work, that have a strong work ethic and are not GIVEN ANYTHING and have to EARN it.

Spartacus87 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 If we take any reciever in the first round, it better be Malcolm Kelly. It's really that simple- great route runner, very tough and physical, and great hands. He's the big possession/red-zone guy we've been looking for and he'd be even more critical with this new WCO.

Since I just saw Jordy Nelson run a 4.51 at the NFL combine. It's not 4.3, but I wouldn't mind seeing us land this guy. I was pretty negative about him in this thread, but I was expecting a Dwayne Jarrett performance. He isn't a burner, but I hear he beat Aqib Talib silly in a game this year. Anybody who runs in the 4.5 range can't be disqualified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlayAction Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 hmm I don't know. He was a QB turned WR, much like Matt Jones, WR for the Jaguars. Personally, I don't want a Matt Jones-type player that underperforms and will take some time adjusting to the NFL. But thats my opinion. Jordy Nelson wasn't a QB in college. He came in as a safety but converted to WR as a sophmore. The only resemblence to Matt Jones is that both are white. Jordy Nelson was the focus of the Kansas State offense and caught 120+ balls as a senior. He's got great hands, and runs good routes but is not considered an elite deep threat player. He's quick rather than fast but 4.50 speed is still respectable. Most importantly he was extremely productive in college. At 6'3"' and 216 (or so) he could be the guy that the Skins need.

UltimateSkins Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Jordy Nelson can ball. He has good open field instincts and great hands. He may not be super fast in the 40, but if you watch his videos its clear he can move on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
