We Should draft Jordy Nelson - Kansas State WR in the 3rd

He'd probably be a special teams standout too... He played DB a few years back. I'd consider him in the second, have to see who's on the board

if its our comp 3rd or doesn't stop us from getting a good value with the comp 3rd (by taking him at #21 that round), then that's fine.

hardy is a 1st rounder, and is probably gone before we can take him. he also has possible character issues.


and again, if you look at his highlights, an awful lot of them wouldn't happen in the NFL due to faster players and smaller windows. that doesn't mean he'll suck, but it'll be much harder to put up the numbers he had in college.

Isn't it fun having draft picks to talk about??? I would approve of a Jordy Nelson in the third, and I would REALLY like Albert in the first. If we do in fact get an extra 3rd round compensatory pick, we could snag two eventual starters in that round.


It's really pretty nice to have some picks and discuss. Gives us fans something to ponder over a long offseason.

It's a good feeling.

Do you think Albert will be available then? Some drafts have him going in the mid to late teens. I would love to see him on our squad of course.

If Albert fell to us at 21 and we passed I would be pretty damn mad. I don't think that'll happen. He is a safe pick and someone will probably pull the trigger on him between 10-15.

I hear you, but he dominated eilte CB's in college lke Aqib Talib and the Big 12 is not a cupcake conference. If we took Nelson and put him out there with Moss and Randle El... I would take Nelson vs most Nickel CB's in the NFL.

I like where we are in the first at 21. Talent runs deep at a lot of positions. At this point depending at who's mock you look at Albert could be there for us. In a month let's see where he's projected to go.

I like Albert a lot too. I think he's a great fit for the skins for a no. of reasons, but especially for his versatility. He could start at guard immediately, but he's agile & big enough to play tackle & could be a long-term replacement for Jansen in a couple years.

No such thing as a safe pick with the 1st round.

He may have the tools, but he may also lack the awareness and playing exp as Kendall and Thomas.

He would be a good "solid" pick, but depth has never been something addressed in the first round, for as long as I can remember.

1st round is for holes and other things that your team immediately lacks (i.e. pass rush, cover corners, and big play-making wr). If we took Albert, we would be good for the future 2-3 years from now, but next year we'd still be missing an "impact" guy at the aforementioned positions

He's not a depth pick he would be starting next year. He is an absolute wrecking ball on the field... Never seen a guard with this many pancakes in the open field

doubt it. he's generally predicted in the 20-28 range. G and Cs in the 1st are the safest picks because very few are talented enough to be considered that early. it does tend to work out though (when you don't reach excessively like the bucs).

As a lifelong K-State fan I would love to see another guy make the trip from Manhattan to DC to join the Skins.
