Thread: For the fans who wanted Quenton Nelson

Great, Nelson the kind of season that a lot people thought he would. I'm sure there were fans from every team in NFL that thought he was going to be great. I would have been happy to have him on the team. The guy Denver selected was seen in the same kind of light except he plays on defensive side of the ball. Congratulations to Nelson but so what?

There are plenty of things to talk about.

I've been back in the board for 10 days. It's basically 3 discussions in 5 different threads.

This is when the action moves to the draft/free agent forum.

I have so much dislike for the job that Vance Joseph did that maybe I'll make it go into 10 threads.

I guess this would better fit in other teams discussion forum.

It’s relevant the way the thread title is worded.

Everybody predicted Nelson would be great. He was considered the safest pick in the entire NFL draft as a "can't miss" player. He's proven to be exactly that.

But, obviously nobody just picks players by how good they are at their position without thinking about their position.

In order of difficulty in finding players: 1. QB, 2. elite pass rushing DE. 3. OT. 4. CB. 5. G or TE or S or LB or C.

That's why Cubb instead of Nelson.

I don't think it ever came down to Nelson or Chubb. Those of us that wanted Nelson, likely said so with the assumption that Chubb would be off the board. When he was still there...it was a no brainer.

Conventional wisdom had the Browns taking Chubb. He wasn't supposed to last until our pick. We got lucky with that. Nelson is what he is, great at a position that doesn't rate a premium pick.

Also, Rosen is hot garbage. His flame out has already begun. King87 is an idiot for backing that guy. I don't care how many players were hurt, Rosen is flat out awful. Flashed nothing. The other 4 QB's all showed something, even Allen who was thought to have the highest ceiling but lowest floor. The funny thing is, Rosen was supposed to be the 'safe' QB pick. All I see is Brady Quinn.

I don't agree, it still nothing to do with Broncos. I won't make waves about it.

Chubb was an elite pass rushing & run stuffing DE in college which is the hardest position in the NFL to fill after QB and before LT. It's harder to find big men who are elite athletes, so there are just a lot more great CBs than DEs.

Should the Broncos have taken Josh Allen? We'll see in a couple of years. So far he's looked reasonably good. But, the Broncos had Chad Kelly at that point so they had a developmental Qb and Case Keenum was already penciled in as the starter last April and hadn't utterly sucked yet. So, they passed on a Qb.

As for Josh Rosen, he looks like hot garbage in his rookie year, but it's too early to declare him a bust after one season. Not looking good so far though.

As for Nelson he was the safest pick in the draft but plays a position that is not as important as QB, DE/DT, LT or CB. Those are the positions along with elite RB that teams will draft in the top 10.

So, it wasn't a bad move for Indy to draft Nelson since their OL was horrible for years and they have Andrew Luck to keep healthy. The Broncos just screwed up in drafting Bolles instead of Ramcyzk who now is headed to his first pro bowl.

Bolles is headed for the trash pile - or maybe he should switch to defense since he's great at tackling.
