I guess what if Nelson has 8 solid years with us. He doesn't have to be the second best ol of all time to have value. Chubb is 20 spots behind Leonard in tackles, barkley is just ahead of turay with 50% more snaps than turay gets.

I'm just not seeing any opportunity cost that Ballard has actually paid. It's very hard to deny that he crushed the 2018 draft.

I guess it was hard for me to justify that if the 6th overall pick isn't the second best of all time in his position, then it's therefore valueless. That just doesn't make sense to me.

Every first round pick is risky. And its horseshit argument he has to get into the hall of fame. He plays 10 years as a starter the team got its moneys worth.

Really? Put him next to kelly and costanzo and they can run left all day long. Look at the line right now. They have 4 guys for the next 5 years facing some very good D lines in the conference.

He was a steal at 6.
