Maybe for you not for me, Nelson is first time I would have ever considered a OL in top 10 outside of a LT. I was that high on this kid. Even if not an All-Pro out the gate if he kept Luck healthy I would be fine with that.

It doesn’t matter. Ballard gambled and won, Nelson is great. And we will probably go decades without ever drafting another guard top 10.

Oh he absolutely gambled and won, but let's acknowledge it was a gamble.

Dude, every draft pick is a gamble. Always has been.

Every draft pick is a gamble. Everybody thought Tony Manderich was a sure thing

Ballard took in account interviews, academic grades, character and work ethic. Im betting he looks at all players through that lens
