Still want this guy somehow ... Watched most games this year and he is one nasty basterd

Quenton Nelson, 6'5" 330# OG, Notre Dame

Nelson lined up at left guard for the Irish this past season and that is where he projects at the next level. He has a thick, hulking build -- and he's the nastiest offensive line prospect I've ever evaluated. In the run game, he is quick out of his stance and has the ability to completely wash opposing players down the line of scrimmage. He rolls his hips on contact, locks on with a powerful grip and doesn't let up until he's finished the job. Nelson is very effective when he works up to the second level on combo blocks and pulls. He can adjust in space and he blocks through the whistle consistently. In pass protection, Nelson possesses an immediate anchor vs. power rushers and effortlessly handles twists and stunts. Overall, Nelson has all of the tools to be the best run blocker in the NFL and he'll be reliable in pass protection. He's the easiest player to evaluate in this draft class.

maybe but isn't this kid still a bit of a question mark? He had one great year.

I'm still gonna beat the Shaquem Griffin drum when thinking of LBs. He's another one to watch in the Senior Bowl

He is a complete question mark to me, I just like the big and fast thing. History has of course shown athletic freaks don't always transition well to the NFL where athleticism alone is not enough.

Griffen was a one man wrecking crew vs Auburn. He either has great instincts, or was guessing right almost every play, because he was usually on the ball in a heartbeat.

If we go to a 4-3, I would take a chance on him in the 4th to 5th round as WILL.

Mac prospects don't really get press till close to draft time. I want to see how he does at the combine first, but supposedly he is 6'4 and will run around a 4.65 40. He might not be a sideline to sideline LB, but he has good instincts and is pretty good in coverage. He, right now, is a likely late first to late second prospect. I saw some having him as a middle rounds at best, but I don't think they have watched any tape or saw him in action. He will have some growing and adjusting to do, but the potential is there. If he has a good combine, I expect him to rise to middle first at best bc that combo of size speed is rare. If he does well he will also start getting buzz with mainstream media. The reason I picked him out is he reminds me of a Bobby Wagner play style with better height, and with all the ex Seahawks staff we have in the front office I bet they have noticed him too.

He's a junior, most players don't really start and produce consistently till junior year. Plus he played 8 man football in high school. The schools aren't big enough out in those Montana Idaho boondock towns. For linebackers that wouldn't worry me as much than for say a WR or QB. For linebackers you either have it or not; hit, shed, run, tackle, one of the easier positions to evaluate. This seems to be a pretty good draft for linebackers.

I don't recall where I found it, however I watched most ND games personally and would say it is very accurate ...

I watched UCF all season (it's where I work) and while he stepped it up in the bowl game (just like you'd expect a senior to do), he's played like that all year. He's in on virtually every play, either disrupting things in the backfield, or making/assisting the tackle downfield.
