#24 - Reggie Nelson DB Flordia (if he is there)/Michael Griffin DB Texas
#29 - Jon Beason LB Miami


I would be very pleased with ither combonation... playmakers


thoughts?

I would be happy with those picks.
However, there are concerns with Nelson's ability to play in complicated defenses.
With that note however, he did get a personal workout from BB and if they didn't think he had it mentally why would they work out?

im going to have to agree with Poz, he was a great player in the ncaa but in the pats system I just cant see it... mabye in a system like the colts?

DB15

yea.. alot of that is just bs if you ask me in regards to him being able to play in complicated defenses.. there really isnt any evidence to back that up. all I know is that this guy is one hell of a playmaker, in a system BB knows very well and has a full scouting report from Meyer

DaBruinz

Well, 1st off, I think you have it backwards. I think that they gave him the "private workout" to see if he had the mental ability to play in the Pats complicated defense.

2ndly, Something about Nelson just knaws at my gut. I don't want him, personally.

DaBruinz

No evidence? Hmm.. so you are saying that the defense he played in wasn't dumbed down and that the reports that it was are just BS?

Sorry, but I will believe scouts who are PAID to find out this sort of information over some message board poster any day and twice on Draft day.

DB15

dumbed down? how so?


take denver for instence last year, they played a simple D keeping everything infront of them... was that "dumbed down"
"Champ Baily played in a simple system, oh he couldnt possibly play for the pats" ... thats a bit foolish

as for reports I have yet to see any, plus just because a player is in a "simple" system does not mean that that player is not capable of playing in another system (unless your name is mike vick)

Gator Mike

FWIW, the system that the Gators used this past year looked remarkably like the system they've been using for about five years now... at least as long as Charlie STrong has been around.

It might have been "dumbed down" slightly early in the year, but that would have had more to do with the other guys in the secondary (Nelson was the only returning starter) than with Reggie.
