Mel Kiper sez

ESPN draft czar Mel Kiper has the perfect choice for the Cowboys with their first-round pick -- Florida safety Reggie Nelson.

The Cowboys draft No. 22 and Nelson could be in their sights as a possible fix-it guy for their coverage issues. Maybe Cowboys fans should hope Nelson has only mediocre workouts because he could climb out of their reach if he impresses at the combine.

``He can be an ideal fit for the Dallas Cowboys,’’ Kiper said on a national conference call Wednesday. ``Nelson is such a great cover guy, so instinctive. He would be a great fit for Dallas to be next to Roy Williams, who’s in the box and a tough, hard-nosed safety.’’

Nelson, a junior, is 5-foot-11 and 198 pounds with hard-hitting ability elite coverage skills. (It’s possible to do both?)

If the Cowboys pick Nelson, it could be a sign they have pretty much given up on Patrick Watkins (fifth-round pick last year) being the starter after one year.

Kiper also said Oklahoma’s Adrian Peterson could drop some jaws during his workouts. Kiper also noted that Texas cornerback Aaron Ross will be the highest Longhorn drafted.

na...i perfer watkins....like parcells said....watkins has the potential to be 1 of the best...he plays lights out in practice..and despite a few shaky games against the Eagles n Giants...he was pretty good the whole season especially the second half.....

i like the titans game tho..i think the 3rd game for us...were watkins had like 3 pass deflections, 2 in a row, and 2 were supposed to be ints...and that fumble recovery...with his Hieght, Range, speed, and being so athletic...he could grow n flourish into 1 of the best

They should turn Kiper off and put him back in the closet.

Another guy who thinks EVERY player in the secondary needs to be some lockdown, play making coverage guy.

Up until about a week or so before the draft Kiper has a drafting a FS in the 1st round last year. He's just not very good at projecting team needs.

I thought Watkins was a great selection and played decently for a rook. Fault Parcells for other things, but don't fault him as a judge of talent. P-Wat is going to improve a great deal this season.

I'd rather take Zbikowski in the second. For some reason he isn't rated that high this year but he's one of the top 2-3 safeties in this draft IMO.


Plus he can return punts.

Landry, Nelson, Rice, Ginn, Jarrett, Ross. I'd love to hear any of those names at the 22nd pick.

May have something to do with him not being in the draft.

Between now and April, Kiper will project 10 different players to the Cowboys. He plays this game every year.

I'm a UT fan and I would be TICKED if we drafted him, hes very overrated. Yes he was good at times but he gave up some big plays and thats not what our secondary needs.........

When did Parcells say Watkins has the potential to be one of the best?
