And, yes, Jordy Nelson has dropped as pass before, but I would think that for someone projected a first round pick, that Talib wouldnt have looked that bad against someone who is project in the 2nd-3rd rounds.

Against Talib and Kansas, Jordy Nelson had 10 catches, 137 yards, and a touchdown of 68 yards that you saw in the clip. If he get cooked like that by a college player, then my only question is what is gonna happen against TO, Kevin Curtis, and PLax? My guess, is the same thing just a little more time in the oven when Talib gets baked...lol

Todd McShay said if Talib has a good combine he'll be a top 10 pick. Everyone has a bad game every now and then. Overall body of work, Talib is a 1st rounder no doubt. I haven't seen a mock draft that doesn't have him in the top 32.

If "If's" were "Fifths," we'd all be drunk. Yes, I understand if he has a good combine he can be selected top ten, and that goes for any other prospect rated around the same area as Talib (DRCromartie, Leodis McKelvin, and Phillip Merling).

I haven't seen a draft with him in the top 32 either, but I am not debating whether or not he is good, I am talking about "how" good he is in relationship to where he should be valued as a draft pick. Right now, without the combine, he is "no doubt" a 1st rounder, but having seen his shortcomings exposed by lower rated talent, I believe he will be picked up in the late 1st round .

I think I wouldn't be able to use this example if he was cooked by better receivers like L. Sweed, M. Kelly, and DaSean Jackson (all projected "elite" 1st round talent), because one would expect him to lose a battle to a top ranked receiver. Here, in this case, he got outplayed the entire day by their only serious WR there - Jordy Nelson.
