The Facts:
The Packers have agreed to terms on a four-year contract with Nelson, their first draft pick in the April draft. No other terms were disclosed.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Nelson didn't generate the kind of pre-draft buzz that others enjoyed, but the Packers were impressed with his amazing 122 receptions last season despite being the focal point every opponent tried to shut down. Impressed enough, in fact, to make him the third wideout off the board. While it appears Nelson will compete with James Jones for the No. 3 spot this year (remember, the Packers have no fear of playing rookie wideouts), Donald Driver's advancing age (33) means we'll be seeing a top three of Greg Jennings, Jones and Nelson in the not too distant future.
