In my book, he's the best player in this draft. That being said, guard isn't as valued a position as many positions. I'd be surprised if he fell to our pick, but it wouldn't shock me. Stranger things have happened.I don’t think it would be bizarre if Nelson fell to our pick. If you’re picking in the top five you still have the opportunity to scoop a really good interior OL or guard. I don’t know if he’s truly going into the top 10 tbh.
I'm on business in Michigan and talking to a Giants fan and Lions fan and both think Nelson is the top player in this draft class. The Giants fan would like to trade back to 5 or 6 and take him.I think Nelson is overrated slightly by these boards (I think he will end up a pro bowler but people here are already punching his HoF ticket), but I think its also crazy to think he will fall past so many teams that badly need OL help.

it wouldn't shock meIt won’t be 6 with the colts there but it might be 5 - tbf though I recently mocked up a load of trades and had the giants picking Nelson at 12 - I think that’s feasible despite his unreal talent
Now that we got a few new pieces for Flacco I think its time to focus on our oline, its easily our biggest question mark
Bucky Brooks had Orlando Brown going to us at 16...he must not have watched his combine tape. While the combine is not the end all be all, I would imagine he could be had lower than 16.
If we were going to take a Tackle then I would prefer Williams maybe in a trade back. I feel he has good potential and could probably step in at LT, in a pinch, and do okay unlike Brown.Bucky Brooks had Orlando Brown going to us at 16...he must not have watched his combine tape.

Let's learn from Terrence Cody and Andre smithOzzie should be dragged out of the building if he drafts Brown at 16. There's no way any team is going to draft Brown in the first round after his horrific combine. I could see him going late 2nd/early 3rd, but that combine was really bad and raised a lot of red flags.

His combine was horrendous but hes a gamer, he gets the job done and could be a solid RT. With that said his weight will always be an issue and his bench reps show that he doesnt put in work in the weight room.
He very could go there but there’s options if you’re picking early. If I need a QB I would take one, if I need a playmaker I would take Barkley or even Fitzpatrick. But I feel like there’s plenty of good OLs that could slip to the 2nd round. I feel like Decosta made a great point about the draft, there’s a lot of defensive talent that will be taken early and some really good offensive players will slide because of that.I just think Nelson is something special, and I can't see him sliding past the Bears with his former coach there as well
