G QUENTON NELSON 6'5 325
Nelson is a no-brainer plug and play for the next 10-15 year prospect. You'll see a lot written about him as the draft approaches. Turn on any one of his games watch him dominate week in and week out. A lot was written about Bolles's nasty demeanor. Nelson makes him look like a choir boy. You want attitude on your offensive line? How about this attitude?
Nelson is the best run blocking lineman in the nation, hands down. He can drive block, he can pull, and he can identify and pick up stunts and blitzes. Pass blocking? He allowed 2 pressures the entire season. The team that drafts this young man is going to plug him in as a rookie and watch him make all pro teams year after year. The 5th pick is extremely high for a guard, but if Elway wants the BPA, Nelson just may be that man come draft night. If the QB situation is resolved before the draft, the next step is to build that offensive line.
Unlike Bolles last season, Nelson isn't a hit or miss prospect. He's one of the best guard prospects to come out in a long, long time. You want talent, this is talent. And attitude. And power. Nelson won't be the sexy pick on draft day, but he will be the wise one for whichever team picks him.
