Default Reggie Nelson

According to Todd McShay on SportsCenter, Reggie ran a 4.35 on GRASS (slower surface than the Indy turf at the Combine) at the Florida Pro Day today.

Please, God, get this guy in the New England Patriots!

I'm afraid the only way we can get him is to trade up.

lately it seems that everyone is running fast times and now "the only way to get them is to trade up"

whatever, fine,
I say we stay where we are and pick the best 2 players that fall to us.

Somebody has to fall.

Only 23 players can go before pick #24. This happens every year, though, everyone we want "will never be there".

There's a report linked on PFT that says the 'Boys (#22) have the hots for him. I don't see many (any?) mocks where he's still on the board at 24.

I don't expect to get him at #24 but the "he'll never be there" game gets a little old every year.

I still think Michael Griffin will be a nice pick for Belichick as he doubles as an excellent ST player.

"When the big TE's are coming, when the big Wr's are coming, when the big rB is coming, the 4.3 guys turn into 4.8 guys and us 4.6 guys turn into 4.3 guys". - Rodney Harrison.

I get less and less impressed by these "measurables" every year. A guy can run a 4.3 40 in shorts- big deal.

Is the guy a football player? Is he smart? Does he put the team first? Those are the important measurables.

Some scouts think that Nelson cannot not play in a complex defense.

Some scouts think Willis won't be able to take on guards and shed blocks in a 3-4 as an ILB.

With the microscope\circus that has become the NFL draft are there any prospects who don't have at least a few scouts being critical of them?

I though Leinart was a sure fire top 5 pick and they poked holes in him.

The good news is if Nelson cannot pick up the system, BB will know with in 5 minutes of his visit to Gillette and Nelson will hear "Good luck in your NFL career", quickly.

There's only two conclusions for Patriots fans on rookies. They are either a bust or being fitted for their bust in Canton.

That's why I would not select him if available. Now, if he were a CB, being "differently abled" wouldn't matter as much.

That's why Michael Griffin would be my choice at either 24 or 28, depending on whether Willis or Posluszny, or even Anthony Spencer, were still on the board at 24.
