trade for quenton nelson

probably the best IOL prospect to come out of any draft class in the last decade - the word generational talent gets thrown around on all these edge rushers seemingly every year at the top of the class but quenton nelson literally was the definition of a generational talent at guard

Im assuming you are saying this because Aaron Donald came out as a Guard / Tackle prospect. Correct?

What about zach martin?

I'll take this

Zach is great but I think Yanda is the greater player

Now...quenton nelson...

we could be talking bruce matthews territory.

when talking about those talents also we're talking about them as draft prospects not about the players they become - with martin he wasn't thought of as a guard by all the teams, was not the perfect prospect in the same way nelson was - if you knew what he'd turn into then obviously he'd have not made it to the cowboys at 16 that year

but yeah in terms of outcomes you could definitely put it your way too lol

When zach martin came out, all i heard was how he would be great. Besides, that class was crazy deep and thats probably the only reason why he made it to 16..

Edit: well it was deep as far as a few top notch players... i just remembered that jake matthews went infront of him and jake was a stud in college

there's a difference between thinking about how great a player might be and them being a generational talent - there's some OL in this class who look like great prospects but i wouldn't say any of them are clearly generational type players, likewise there's a couple of corners who have graded out really highly but have similar grades to someone like lattimore when he came out

there's a difference between being a great prospect and a generational prospect - you get great prospects every year at various positions, generational talents literally by definition arent around every year

Well it matters whose evaluating them also. Obviously not everyone thought that about quentin nelson. Barkley, clowney and odb were all generational talents to me coming out. Especially saquan and odb. some players you can just guarantee their success in the nfl.. me personally, id never put my money on an olineman. That shit seems like it barley works out
 
I know they already said they'll keep it as is, but the NFL better not change course in regards to FA. With literally everything being cancelled, I need something to be excited about.
 
@Simba : The NFL better not change course in FA.

*approx. one hour later*

NFL: We're considering to change course in FA.


EDIT: Don't feel bad, man. I jinxed March Madness unfortunately. Last week, I emailed the entire company to see who would be interested in doing a March Madness pool on ESPN. I had about 10 people said that they were interested. Two days, I set the group up and sent out the invite. Now this......

i guess they're delaying because the players need to actually physically sign the contracts maybe... otherwise not sure why free agency would need to be delayed - a lot of the major deals get done in the tampering window anyway when the players arent allowed to speak to the clubs anyway (only the agents)

would be more of a problem for the draft where they physically have thousands of people travelling to one specific place and gathering... and doing the draft without the crowd and not at the venue would work but im imagining the NFL would not want it to happen that way because it would be bad for business...

but i cant really see why free agency should be delayed
