Notre Dame guard Quenton Nelson is a likely top-10 pick and one of the safest players in the draft, and after Nelson, Mayock said there are seven interior linemen who project solidly to go in the top three rounds.
The top spot on our list is a no-brainer. Nelson is the best lineman in the draft, arguably the top lineman in the country, and the only offensive lineman in my Top 10 list (third on that list). I have raved about him throughout the season, and he should be a top-10 pick in the 2018 draft, if not a top-5. He plays with elite power, technique, and awareness. He has agility and balance in pass protection, and all the “nasty” you could ask for.
This would solidify our o-line and solve our power running game woes.
With all of the reaching that happen every year for qb's and that Nelson is a guard, this guy could be there at 13. At 6' 5" and 345 pounds he is described as mean.
Totally agree with all of this. I am very hyped about Vita Vea, but if Nelson is there, I think they have to take him. So many reasons why:

1. Immediate starter at one of very few clear starter holes on the roster. It's a big roster need and a starting role that could and would be vastly improved.

2. He would be an every down player so he would have the biggest impact on this team year 1 day 1. (Vea would likely rotate and play less reps overall for example)

3. Our running game would definitely improve, especially on short yardage plays, dude knows how to blow a hole into a wall of defenders.

4. It's a long-term lock down of a position. It's generally not hard to afford to keep you're talent on the line long term, especially guard.

5. He's a for sure starter, probably pro bowler early, and is a sure thing long term. WRs, RBs, DBs, etc have a higher bust/career altering injury probability

6. Equivalent talent in FA is very freaking expensive and frankly there's probably one.

7. There are some good guards to be had in the first few rounds, but he's probably one of two impact guards in the draft. Others might be solid to very good starters, but there's only a few guards in the league who's elite abilities are profoundly impactful in making plays, he has that kind of talent.

8. We would arguably have the best LT in the league, a top 5 or so RT, best 1 or 2 RG in the league, and potentially a top 5 LG. Not to mention a very good young C. LG has been the achilles heel of this unit for years, he would round out the true Hogs 2.0

Re: Looking at the draft.

Rashaad Penny ran 4.47, Redskins meet with him yesterday. Could see him being a realistic pick for us in the 4th if we miss out on the early round guys.

That's my guy! I'd take him with the 2nd. Can't miss out on stud RB once again.

Ha, never predict anyone to be that good lol. Half of Faulk in his prime is still our best RB.

Yeah, his stock may rise that high.

Good read thanks.

I really don't like the idea of drafting a QB this year though. We just addressed this position, we have other needs.

Which RBs would you take at 13 besides Barkley?

Re: Looking at the draft.

If we could trade down and still get Vea, Payne, or Guice in the first round, that would be money.
