There's some hyperbole going on here with Nelson. His value is his consistency, but no one will ever convince me that an elite guard will have as much of an impact on any given game as an elite pass rusher or an elite QB. If Nelson was a LT, I could understand the argument for him, but he's not. He's a guard. Guards have value, but not Top 5 pick value. This is about building a championship team, and the Colts will not do that by picking a guard in the Top 5.

Think about all the Super Bowls you've ever watched. Did you ever think "(Insert Team)'s starting guard is going to be a key factor in this game"? Now, did you ever think "(Insert Team)'s top pass rusher is going to be a key factor in this game"? I'd be willing to bet the first thought has never crossed your mind, while the second is a near annual occurrence. That's why you don't take Nelson Top 5. Chubb is the only choice that makes sense for this team.

There are other options people.

Isaiah Wynn and Will Hernandez are both better than we currently have.

Sign both Pugh and Mewhort to 1 yr prove it deals.

This isn't NCAA Basketball, where the with best guards win the championship.

I like Hernandez. If we can get him in the 2nd we're in good shape.

reports are we were in on watkins

Dianna Russini

@diannaESPN
The Rams gave up a 2nd rounder in August to get Sammy Watkins and they wanted him back badly. They thought they would too. The price was too high, I'm told. The Chiefs, Colts, and Bears were all in the final mix. Kansas City won.

I think they'll also be in on Brown and Matthews, then.

I applaud Ballard for not overspending and fucking up the locker room. Very Polianesque.

Wow CBs are getting overpaid. Butler over $12 million AAV on a 5 year deal to the Titans and Johnson going to the Jets on a $15 million AAV deal. Makes Breeland to the Panthers for $8 million AAV look reasonable.

All the AFC South teams are over spending to acquire talent. But are they getting better?
