You sound like Gruden when he justified taking Janikowski in the 1st round.
Nelson is one of the top rated players in the entire draft. As for impact, he will immediately start and immediately improve the oline which will immediately make the entire offense better, especially the run game. [Reply]

You won’t be be able to do that for 2 years. That’s half the timeframe considering a top 5 picks 5th year option will be expensive.
If the Broncos draft Rosen then the Keenum contract is nothing more than a very expensive insurance contract, and essentially the Broncos will be paying Keenum $25m to be a back up QB. But, that’s the chance the Broncos have to take to insure the QB position is viable. If the Broncos trade down and take a QB in the first or second round it’s because he’s not ready to start anyway [Reply]

If that's how you want to justify taking a guard at 5, be my guest. [Reply]

Yep, and this is why the Broncos don’t have to take a QB at 5. This also means the Browns will most likely take Barkley at 1 and Allen at 4, leaving Chubb or Nelson at 5. [Reply]

You will end up with Allen and in the mix for a QB again in two years. Jets with the checkmate move to secure the last average QB prospect. (There are zero Mahomes level elite QBs) [Reply]
