A KC Chiefs fan site had a long pre-draft discussion of Jordy Nelson, largely in the context of whether the Chiefs should take him high:
-
Teamwork is what the Green Bay Packers were all about. They didn't do it for individual glory. They did it because they loved one another.

If Rashard Mendenhall dropped to us at 30 and we picked him Woody would say RB wasn't a position of need.

Every time ESPN shows "Bears held under 100 rushing yards in 12 of 16 games in '07". I think that this year it will be 16 out of 16.Comment

Broncos take WR Royal.....
Strengths: Explodes off the ball, creates space by driving corners back and can get open quickly. Changes directions quickly, runs adequate routes and can separate from man coverage. Can make the first defender miss, shows a second gear when gets a seam and can turn a catch underneath into a long gain. Reads blocks fairly well and runs screens well. Runs hard, is a balanced runner that can bounce of arm tackles and flashes the ability to pick up yards after contact. Shows a second gear when tracking the ball downfield and flashes the ability to make over-the-shoulder catches. Doesn't always make sound decisions with the ball but has adequate arm strength and can throw the ball downfield. Is a dangerous kickoff as well as punt return man and can make an immediate impact on special teams. Gives a solid effort as a stalk blocker. Feisty and physical; won't back down from a challenge.
Weaknesses: Is short, doesn't have great bulk and can get pushed around by bigger corners. Rounds cuts off at times and isn't a precise route-runner at this point. Sustained a slight concussion in 2004, missed 2005 spring practices with compartment syndrome in left leg, slowed by a sprained toe in 2006 and durability is a concern.
Overall: Royal appeared in 38 games in his first three seasons (2004-'06) hauling in 86 passes for 1,282 yards (14.9 average) and eight touchdowns. As a senior, he appeared in 13 games (11 starts) and finished the season with 33 receptions for 496 yards (15.0 average) and four touchdowns. Royal proved his versatility with the Hokies, rushing for a career 226 yards and two scores on 51 carries (9.4 average) and throwing a 53-yard touchdown pass on offense. On special teams, he had 59 kickoff returns for 1,386 yards (23.5 average), 111 punt returns for 1,296 yards (11.7 average) and three TDs, and four tackles during his four-year career. Royal missed one game in 2004 (illness); sat out spring practice in 2005 (left leg compartment syndrome); was knocked out of one game in 2005 by a hamstring injury; and missed a game in 2007 because of a calf injury. Royal's lack of size and injury history should raise some red flags. However, he has the speed, elusiveness and athletic ability to develop into a dangerous No. 3 or No. 4 slot-receiver in the NFL and he has added value in the return game. Royal should come off the board in the third-to-fourth round range of the 2008 draft.Comment
