Both Jones and Nelson are gifted WRs, and I like what they both do very much. But, when healthy, James Jones reminds me a LOT of Sterling Sharpe. Great hands, and so strong that the first defender is more often than not shedded for extra yards. That said, Nelson is also a very well rounded player. I see these two pushing each other for playing time, which means good things for both.

One of them may be traded, or possibly Ruvell Matrin, on draft day to a WR starved team that has someone/something we wantand/or need.

As for the article, I agree with all of it except Kampy. I strongly believe in something called "football intelligence." Kampy has it. He may be lost the first half of the season, but I guarantee he will "get" it.

He's got more speed than people give him credit for too. He's got "football speed," which Reggie White had. Yes, Reggie White. Big guy and all, I've seen him run down fast little guys and tackle them because he had the understanding of angles. That's another aspect of "football intelligence" that some folks have, some don't. Like Alex Smith may have a 150+ IQ, but I'd take Brett Favre's football intelligence any day of the week.

Another name he brought up - Donald Lee. There's been a lot of talk on this board that we could improve our TE spot but I disagree. I think he was wrongly utilized. He was correctly used in '07, but poorly used in '08. The guy has skills. He just needs to be used correctly.

And Aaron Rodgers is a stud. But we got to get that kid an OL. If Ted Thompson drafts a WR ahead of an OL, I'm going to be pissed.

I agree on Kampy - I'm sure all the geniuses who are worried he can't play the position have their reasons, but I've never seen the guy fail. And that's including last year when he was the only guy rushing the passer and everyone knew it. If Capers thinks he can do the job (and all appearances are that he does), that's all the convincing I need.

There's something called a Football Player, and Kampy's one of those. He'll do just fine.

Kampman is a student of the game. We all know him as the guy with the motor that never quits, but when he talks about the game he talks about things like center of gravity, balance, technique, etc.. If anyone can make the switch from DE to 3-4 OLB on our team, I think it's him. I'm excited.
