We'll see.
But picking Nelson at #6 makes me wonder if Ballard doesn't have something else up his sleeve, possibly moving back up into the 1st round to grab someone like Evans, Landry or Davenport. Which could explain why he went with Nelson over Smith at #6.

In my opinion, there were only 3 players who I didn't have any reservations about. Chubb, Barkley and Nelson. And having the 6th pick in the draft, you can't fuck it up. Watch some videos on Nelson and you will see how fucking good he really is. He will open up running lanes and protect Luck, what more could you ask for? He is one of the most bad ass guards I have seen in a long time. He is a bad motherfucker. I truly believe he hates people.
