Hell no.  Unless the colts trade out of the top 10

Here's a film study on Nelson from Voch Lombardi.

If he is there when the Colts pick there should be no doubt you take him. 

 

Let's make one thing perfectly clear here. Protecting Luck when he comes back healthy is by far the most important thing that needs to be addressed this offseason.

 

Mewhort isn't coming back and we are gonna need somebody to plug in at G and be that dominant force we have been missing for years.

 

Nelson would help the 2018 Colts tremendously

I was wrong about Mewhort though

If we could get say - the 3rd overall pick - and trade back to like 6th and still get Nelson + some compensation... That'd be a win in my book!

 

Very good call in November!

Your only wrong if he plays well this year and stays healthy.

That projection comes from Walter Football.   They do not have a great reputation.

There's no way he drops that far.

 

On Connor Williams falling to round 2- (Cowboys selection at #18 in round 2)

 

We sometimes lose some...

Mind reader :O

I literally screamed and cheered when the Colts announced Nelson as their pick.

I never thought the day of me getting excited about a Guard in the top 10 would ever come.

Regardless of whether you wanted the Colts to pick Nelson or not, or didn't want him that high or not, you cannot argue that the guy isn't going to help this team in some capacity.  He just IS.  Chubb was gone.  Barkley....gone.  Your QB is STILL recovering from his beatings.  Nelson is rated one of the best OL prospects to come out in years.  They did the right thing.

The value on interior lineman seems to be increasing fast.  

 

I think it's because interior DL are getting better and better at applying heat to the QB and that teams have found that you can no longer fill those spots in with "just a guy" and have him keep your QB clean.  Pass rush is coming from the entire DL now, not just the edges.  

[TheMarine]

Yup, and we have 4 solid interior guys now on the relative cheap for what they're capable of

[AZColt11]

The Cowboys get it.  You gotta have horses on the OL.  Used to be just hard to find a good left tackle.  Now it's tougher to find just 5 good enough OL to start on a team.  You get (and keep) as many of them as you can.  And that includes guards.  The Colts have just begun to figure this out.
