Jordy Nelson, Edition VII

I'll reserve judgments on Nelson until I see him play in a few games at the pro levels. His college highlights films are impressive. What remains to be seen if he can successfully transfer those skills to the pro level.

I think the best case sinerio is that Driver, Jenning and Jone all have big years and Nelson shows promise in his limited minutes as well as during practice. Then, during next years draft (as much as I would hate to do this) we could trade Driver for a 2nd rounder and go forward with three young starting caliber WR's and and extra 2nd round pick for a guy who is near the end of his career.

Driver is tons better than Jones. Jones is strong and usually has good hands. Other than that, he's a huge step down from the starters. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Nelson was the 3rd WR by the end of the year. Nelson is a better prospect coming out. He's bigger and faster. His hands are considered a strength. He's also considered a good route runner. My guess is that Jones holds down the 3rd WR spot, but only until Nelson is 100% comfortable with the offense.

We disagree on this one. All everyone ever talked about with Jones was his ability to catch anything that came near him. It was the talk of camp last year. He has a full year in the offense also. The problems for this group will start after next season if Driver still wants to play. Hopefully I'm wrong.

IS Jordy Nelson still a better receiver than Bill Schroeder?

Where's Tank?

Yes, and then he dropped some in actual games. That's why I said he's good for usually being sure-handed.

Ahh...when you said about Nelson that his hands are a strength, sounded like you meant that Jones' hands werent considered one of his strengths.
