Should’ve gotten a pass rusher and watch Luck get killed by the Texans and jags and get hurt. We don’t need a franchise qb when we can watch our d get all those sacks!!!!!!! Golly. I knew Nelson was reported as good, but I didn't realize he could block everybody at the same time from one position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And instead of taking a guard who can have a comparable impact on our line we now have a guard who will be great but not much more impact than what could've been had in the 2nd and a way less talented linebacker. And most likely we have to get a receiver and running back in the 2nd since that's where the value is so our future starting linebackers will be a 3rd rounder and later... We missed big. That's alot to sacrifice for a guard. Our linebacker corps will be useless if we can’t keep Luck healthy. Still need points to win. Those other “comparable guards” don’t have anywhere near the ability as Nelson. We got a bionic leg as opposed to a peg leg. Sure both work but what would you want?

TheMarine Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Smith would have been my choice there, but if you're in a position for BPA: Take BPA. My personal board for BPA was Barkley, Chubb, Nelson, Fitzpatrick, Darnold, then Smith. Nelson was there, and we don't need Fitz (We drafted Hooker last year) and we dont need Darnold, for obvious. Nelson is IMO the BPA here. If Bills offered x2 First Round and their last pick in the 2nd, I might have traded out. I wouldnt take the 12th overall and x2 more 2nd rounders. You're already getting a bevy of 2nd round talent. Take the #1s 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are underrating Nelson, if we created a Poll you would be in the minority regarding not liking this pick. I have only seen maybe 4 or 5 others that don't like it. I have read where at least 20 people love it as of now in here and understand it. It was a much needed pick, have to start protecting Luck otherwise we wont be any good.

It's everyone else overrating him. There's good reason why Guards don't go top 10. It's hard to feel the game impact of guards. It's noticebale yes but not very impactful on the game. Everyone here is acting like we drafted a left tackle. We drafted a guard. A damn good one but was it worth what we lost for this? I don't think so that is all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which guard in the draft can block Clowney one on one? Huh? Guards don’t block edge rushers. Tackles don’t get double teams to help block rushers. Maybe a chip from a TE or RB. Nelson will have no impact on helping the edge. He should be able to handle DT without help so our center can help our other guard....that and run blocking. So this has nothing to do with Clowney.

Well we still have 4 second round picks.. that's nearly 20 percent of a starting roster right there alone. What gets me is that most on this forum whined for the last several years about going BPA regardless of need, every expert top 100 I saw had Barkley, Chubb and Nelson as the top three players regardless of position. 2 of those were gone already. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
