Bravo Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Okay with picking him later in 1st round. Not at #3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKColt13 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 He's good but you don't draft a G at #3. That's not the smart way to draft. Trade down to 6/7 then I'm happy to take him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trade down to 6/7 then I'm happy to take him. Ideally that's what I'd like to do. But I would like to target the best OL in the draft. Especially if we arn't bringing Mewhort back we simply can not go through this offseason without investing either a good deal of free agent money or high draft picks on the offensive line. If we can't trade down (we should be able to) then I'd rather reach for him then watch us lead the league in sacks given up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Superman Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 The only terrible thing about picking 3rd is that I literally fell in love with like 5-6 players already. Really love this kid though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shasta519 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Prediction: Nelson will not be a top 10 pick. He looks like a future stud though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that feeling though, when you are in the middle of the draft you basically have to wait and see who is there, being #3 with 2 QB needy teams ahead means you are like a kid in a sweet shop!

He gets those crab-claws locked onto a guy and then drives him into the ground with perfect leverage. Call that a Half-Nelson. After that he pins the guy to the ground with all fours like a human cage. Call that a Full-Nelson. Very demoralizing move, especially when he tea-bags the guy as he's getting up. That's receiving the Full-Nelson-Treatment. I can't wait to see him in the league. I hope the Colts either draft him, or never have to play against him! God forbid the Pats get their hands on him, but I'd love to see him in the AFC East on the Jets or Bills so he can go against Ndamukong Suh twice a year.

Barry Sears Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Look at the play he makes at the 2:14 mark in the video...it's crazy!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgambill Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Wish I could have seen him go up against Da'ron Payne of Alabama....did anyone watch the coaches break down the live NC game on espn. They were replaying all the plays and kept pointing him out...he was KILLING Georgia guards and center...and double teams too! He even got triple teamed on one play they were so concerned leaving a rusher a free run at the qb. He was tossing 300lb lineman like they were tissues. Did the same thing to Clemson too. I'd like to see Nelson and him one on one....after watching that performance last night I don't know where he goes in the draft but if he is there at the top of round 2....sign him up!!

True but you can go back to the college tape for most NFL guards and most didn't dominate as much as Nelson did. There is a reason that he's being graded out so highly.

I gotcha...just saying it's a whole other world up here so people acting as if he is just going to come in and dominate....its a whole new level. I do agree he is worthy of a pick at the end of the top 10 but I'm not penciling him into any pro bowls just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally I would take the tackle..play him at RT then swing him to left after Constanzo leaves but his knee injury gives me pause. Just hope we land a franchise guy no matter what the position here.

Between Quenton Nelson and Connor Williams? I think Nelson is the easy choice for me. He is the safest OL prospect in this class and the most elite prospect at OG since Logan Mankins/Zack Martin.

zibby43 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Had the pleasure of watching Nelson closely all year. Leader Extremely intelligent Loves football Was coached by Harry Hiestand ND o-line won the Joe Moore award Nasty, physical, mauler Would make the Colts' o-line instantly better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Superman Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Nelson is one of the more impressive guards I watched over the years. He's quick off the ball and just blows through people. I don't think I have yet to see anyone manhandle Nelson during a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horse Shoe Heaven Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 A guard at 3 humm but have to admit after watching that he would be an instant upgrade to the ol and if somehow mewhort came back we might actually have a good ol oh my!
