Here are the last ten 6th overall picks:

2008 - Vernon Gholston (LB) - Jets
2009 - Andre Smith (T) - Bengals
2010 - Russell Okung (T) - Seahawks
2011 - Julio Jones (WR) - Falcons
2012 - Morris Claiborne (CB) - Cowboys
2013 - Barkevious Mingo (OLB) - Browns
2014 - Jake Matthews (T) - Falcons
2015 - Leonard Williams (DT) - Jets
2016 - Ronnie Stanley (T) - Ravens
2017 - Jamal Adams (S) - Jets

He probably won't outplay Julio Jones, but I think when all is said and done Nelson will compare well with the above players' careers.
