SkippinTurtles Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 Darnold and Mayfield are both "seeing ghosts". S. Barkley, D.Ward and Bradley Chubb have been hurt. Nelson is a game-wrecking guard. Larry Allen style. Establishes the identity of your offensive line for 12-15 years. Strong in pass-pro and flat out scary blocking on the second level. Nick could easily run for 2000 yards running behind this future legend. Sorry, Bake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Nelson transforms the culture of the franchise like he did the Colts. They went from worst to first in pass-protection in one year. They run at will. Nelson is a major player in the NFL. Denzel Ward was always undersized. Nelson easily over Ward and maybe Mayfield. He was projected to dominate and had tape to back it up. Am I wrong?

tiamat63 Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 Nevermind that Mark Glowinski and Braden Smith were absolute' strike-gold type picks that blossomed into their own when paired with even more young talent around them. Forming one of the NFL's best lines on the cheap over the course of one off-season. Nope, All Nelson. A great player? yes. Worth bitching about? Not so much.

Dominate. Nelson is the heartbeat of their offense. Thomas is HOF, but Nelson seems like a throwback. He punishes people to the whistle. Character guy, too. Thomas never missed a snap because he was basically a Wal-Mart greeter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember you announcing you wanted Quentin Nelson at #1 overall or #4 overall until this bout of hindsight 20/20. LT is even more important than LG in this era; and Joe Thomas played in how many Playoff Games because of our QB position? When I think of where we need to upgrade on our Offensive Line - I don't begin with LG Joel Bitonio. Our defense was also pretty talent deprived at covering people in the back end before Denzel Ward was selected at #4. FWIW, his blocked FG against the Rats was the difference between winning and losing to the Rats. Sometimes you have to wait longer than a guy's first 22 regular season games before you make conclusions about his career. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tour2ma Posted October 26, 2019 Report Share Posted October 26, 2019 There've been maybe two "generational" OGs in the modern era...

You brought up Hutchinson and Hannah for a reason. Nelson was that guy in the womb. Born destroyer and his college tape bore that out. He's special and just watch the rest of his career play out. O-Lineman like him happen once a decade, maybe. First or fourth pick, he would have been a steal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunz41 Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 OP, you aren't understanding people's point. Nelson could end up being great, generational guy, but at that time wasn't the teams biggest need. And just because someone is a generational talent doesn't mean you take him. If the Dolphins select Tua next draft and he plays well and they have the opportunity, should they then draft Trevor Lawrence? But Baker ( no matter what you think of him) doesn't belong in this discussion. Not just because he plays the most important position in sports, but because the Browns could have had Baker AND Nelson, there is no either/or Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
