Is Jordy Nelson That good?

[fortdick]

I wouldn't complain if they took him in the third. Depending on what they do in the first, maybe the second, although that might be a bit of a reach.

That's what I said!

That's what I thought!

Nelson = Joe Jurevicious Not a bad 3rd.-4th rnd pick up.

Just what I was thinking: Joe Jurevicious. Also, and some of you may be too young to remember, Steve Largent of the Seahawks. He had no "tangibles", but was a great WR in the NFL...

:laugh2: Can Nelson only be compared to other white WRs?

Apparently.

No, no! He's like Brandon Stokely!

I'm starting to like Bowman again, despite his falling. I think he probably has more upside than Jordy in the 3rd or 4th.

I've like Bowman quite a bit myself, but his poor performance at the Senior Bowl has me wondering if he plays well under pressure. If not, we need to pass on him. But i did see him have some great games at OkSt...

I see him as a guy that would burn up the league as an unsung guy in a Colts or Pats-type offense with a bunch of really talented guys above him. I'm not so sure in our offense.

What the Cowboys are probably eyeing more than anything is his ability on special teams. At this point we need a WR that can double as something else.

So the two teams that are known to feature white slot receivers? :laugh2:

Just joking, of course.

Jordy Nelson is an awesome player. He is one of those crafty playmakers that catches everything, and he can blaze.

I saw him at DKR in Austin against UT and i hated him after that game. The guy was dominant against the Longhorns. Texas wasnt the only team he tore up though.

Despite his play at the senior bowl, I'm not a fan. Unless his route running is Rice-esque, he doesn't have the quickness for the NFL. This guys will get little separation, and will have to fight for every ball thrown to him.

that's not really an issue for big guys

remember what Parcells said about Key, you don't have to worry about putting the ball in a tight space because he's a big body, and he'll usually get it?

I agree. Hopefully his hands are as good as advertised. That's why I compared him to none other than Keyshawn earlier in this thread.

I think he'll be a good player, I just have a hard time with these so-called "experts" on NFL Network (or wherever) comparing him to Welker. That's just silly.

I don't get the comparison either

Welker is super-quick, and smallish, polar opposite
