No Brainer . . .


QUENTON NELSON
G, INDIANAPOLIS COLTS

Colts exercised the fifth-year option on G Quenton Nelson's contract.
Nelson has been dominant at LG dating back to his rookie season. Pro Football Focus has graded him as a top-five guard in each of the past two seasons. Nelson has yet to miss a game in his three years as a pro and the Colts have reportedly considered playing him at tackle in 2021. The option will cost Indianapolis $13.8 million, a small price to pay for one of the league's best lineman.

I hope they don't do that. I hope that isn't the plan.

I can understand why though. Paying a guy as the best guard in the league then paying another guy LT money is a lot of money tied up in oline. Not to mention RT and C.

I kinda wonder if they draft Vera Tucker if he is at 21 and see between him and Nelson who works best at LT.

Vera Tucker is well regarded and I guess there is a tier drop off after those first four guys.

Fuck that draft a Tackle and leave him right where he’s at

It will sure stir up the water if he’s at LT for pre season. I think he can do it, but his ability to open up the inside and knock the piss out of linebackers is hard to find.

Ballard has an eye for linemen. I think hes going to pull a rabbit out of his ass, and get the critics spun up. Plan on popcorn and some buffalo trace for the second round
