Alphadawg7 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I dont care who we take from here on out, this draft for us has been a big fat A grade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lets_go_bills Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Great pick, great value. Fills a big need. I love it. He needs to bulk up a bit and become a better blocker, but he's a legitimate receiving threat from the TE position. Our red zone offense just got a little better.

Kelly the Dog Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Definitely the best overall TE left. Has talent or potential at both receiving and blocking. I figured the Bills liked him. They gambled and it paid off I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonidas Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Scouts Inc. Player Evaluations ProfileNewsESPN LocalVideoBlog NetworkGrading Scale ConversationESPNDB Overall Football Traits Production 2 2004: Southern Miss red shirts Nelson. 2005-06: Nelson starts 23 of the 25 games he appears in catching 71 passes for a total of 1,046 yards and six touchdowns. 2007: Nelson starts 12 of the 13 games he appears catching 33 passes for a total of 451 yards and five touchdowns. 2008: Nelson starts 12 of the 13 games he appears in catching 53 passes for a total of 557 yards and three touchdowns. Height-Weight-Speed 3 Lean but has room on frame to add necessary bulk and possesses above-average top-end speed. Durability 3 2008: Slowed by hamstring injury. 2006: Plays with a fractured hand and sprained ankle. Character 3 2006: Benched for first half of Houston game for missing curfew and character needs to be further investigated. Tight End specific Traits Ball Skills 1 A big target and natural pass catcher. Uses long arms to pluck the ball out of the air and doesn't have to break stride to haul it in. Does a nice job adjusting to balls thrown behind him and shows good body control for size. Separation Skills 2 Generally gets a clean release coming off the line. Quick enough to separate from most linebackers and big enough to shield defensive backs from the ball. Does a nice job of setting up breaks and then sticking cuts when working against man coverage. Doesn't appear to read defenses that well and has some problems locating soft spots in zone coverage. Blocking 3 Needs to develop a violent punch and get more push once in position. Reliable blocker in space. Does not have the size to consistently hold own as an in-line blocker at the NFL level but has improved in this area. Moves feet well and gets into proper position. Gets adequate hand placement and flashes the ability to stay engaged with defenders. Takes good angles to downfield blocks and can cut off linebackers at the second level. Toughness 2 Good overall effort. Willing to go over the middle and lay his body on the line to make reception. Showed willingness to play hurt during the 2006 season. (See durability) Big-Play Potential 2 Clean release and good top-end speed allow him to stretch the middle of the field. Strong runner after the catch and can turn a catch underneath into a big gain.

Lurker Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Compares to: TONY SCHEFFLER, Denver Like Scheffler, Nelson is best served lined wide or in motion than when asked to work in-line. He has just adequate strength, which prevents him from being much of a blocker at the line of scrimmage. He shows very good open-field acceleration and works back to the ball well, but does struggle tracking the deep throws, especially those over his outside shoulder. He is the type that you will need to compensate by having a physical blocker to share positional duties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
