... NFL  Draft Countdown has what I think may be the most surprising and intriguing choice: S Reggie Nelson of Florida. I honestly thought Chris Crocker provided some solid safety work last year, but his coverage skills are clearly going to be a liability against elite tight ends or good receivers. If what they say about Nelson is true, he's got the ability to play safety or corner and has an excellent eye for the ball. Far be it from me to deny that we need help in the secondary, and with Hall and Jimmy Williams maybe a safety selection would be for the best. I'd still like to see them pick up some CB depth later in the draft if they went this route, but I think there'd be some headscratching if this cat was selected before say, Jarrett.

... Scott Wright’s Draft Countdown: Brandon Meriweather, S, Miami (Fla), After replacing Donte' Stallworth by signing Kevin Curtis the Eagles are now free to address another position in the first round and based on value and need Brandon Meriweather would appear to be a nice fit. The play of Michael Lewis really declined and the team let him leave as a free agent and even though his replacement Sean Considine was solid they can certainly do better and would prefer to keep him in a rotational role. A talented player who probably would have gone a little higher if not for character concerns, Meriweather is a great all-around safety who can play not only the pass but the run as well and he could even slide over and play a little bit of corner. A playmaker in the deep patrol, Meriweather can be groomed by Brian Dawkins before helping to carry on his legacy. Andy Reid always likes to look to the trenches in

His production has slowed because of the obvious switch to the 3-4 defense, but putting him back in the 4-3 makes him once again a potential top 5 middle linebacker in this league. If we manage to get a first-round pick from the Ravens, it is likely to be in the late teens or early 20’s of the draft.
