    Zig said Nelson is HOF material. I believe so, too. It is indeed too early to call him an HOFer,
    but he has that potential more than any other guard probably in a handful of years. I think
    that's what Zig meant, and I agree with him.

    I like that (except that I hope the Broncos keep Paradis, and Nelson would best go to RG because
    he is comfortable on either side, while Leary is better at LG). For once, the Broncos will have a
    formidable front.

    How much better would even Siemian have been with a solid front? As Jeff Legwold said:

    After watching the Broncos’ issues in pass protection send their quarterbacks to the trainers’ room over
    the last four years, including Peyton Manning, it’s a fair assessment to say the development of players such
    as Trevor Siemian and Paxton Lynch has been impacted by the fact the Broncos haven’t found a consistent
    combination to play better in the offensive line.
    I'm resigned to the probability that the Broncos are not going to get Kirk Cousins. And it just may
    be a proverbial blessing in disguise because I believe that Case Keenum, whom they are more likely
    to get, is better than popularly conceived, and putting him behind Quentin Nelson would be a more
    dramatic upgrade than Cousins without Nelson, partly because the difference Nelson and Leary --
    in the latter's more natural spot -- would make in the running game. (All IMO.)

    That's if the Colts or Browns don't take Nelson.

    I heard the Browns traded for Tyrod Taylor. If I were the Browns..... take Barkely with the #1, and Nelson with the #4, unless Colts are smart and grab Nelson with #3.

    That is a problem. In which case, I don't think then that the Broncos would be hurting with Hernandez . . .

    Where do you draft him though? They have to move back into the first I would think to be able to pick up Hernandez after the offseason that he's had.

    It is an anomaly that Nelson himself would be picked in the first round. Guards don't normally
    make the first day. Nelson happens to be what many consider not only the top guard in the
    draft, but the top athlete in all the draft. From what I have seen, Hernandez is the third rated
    offensive guard (but not by much) and seems projected early in the second round, which
    would be ideal for the Broncos. Hernandez, however, is projected as an immediate starter.

    Nelson going top 5 greatly impacts how early Hernandez, Wynn and Price go after that. Especially since the guard group is way better than the tackle group

    The Browns OL is loaded, Joel Bitonio and FA Guard from Bengals last year, if anything they need an eventual replacement for Thomas.

    Oh they’ll keep Paradis, yay!

    My sources tell me they’re not in on Barf Cousins or Gag Keenum. They gonna pay Keenum more than they wanted to pay Brent coming off a SB? I wanna believe Elway is smarter than that.

    Nelson, to my knowledge, has never played RG.

    Actually, somehow, I can't see either holding up the Lombardi. That would be the only reason to throw a pile of money at one of them.

    I may be in a very small minority, but I wouldn't be against bringing back Brock for a bridge while grooming a Mayfield or a Rosen . . .

    You and me both, Top, but I think there might be more than you think.

    I think you get the Guard for the right side...even at 5...and move Leary back over. Bolles at RT until he gets some more experience and either sign or draft a LT in round 2.

    Fixing OL must be the priority.

    The T class is pretty thin.

    Without a QB the offensive line means nothing. If you don't get the QB now you'll end up looking for one at a worst drafting spot the next year.

    But, on the other hand, there are some real gems in this class at other positions.
