It’s only one game but I’m loving this pick wherever he was taken, particularly for this team. Everyone remembers the shit show that was our line. We added a guy who is huge, strong as the freaking proverbial bull, extremely quick with incredible balance and a great football IQ. He has an attitude and the physical skills to back it up. I must have missed all those pancake blocks we made last year so seeing Nelson just drill the shit out of someone or stonewall them like a brick wall gives me fuzzies. I’m not saying he’s an all-pro now, but after one game he sure as hell hasn’t done a damn thing to make me think he can’t be one. Watching him develop (and hopefully bring the line along with him) should be one of the high points of all us freaks this year reguarless of where he was picked. Gonna be fun

Third, I’ll state again that the idea that drafting Nelson was the only way to fix the Oline is a stupid argument. Would a tackle not have helped at all? Luck threw 50 times because the team couldn’t run and couldn’t stop Andy Dalton. My concern for Luck hasn’t went away from the drafting of one player. So please stop with that BS.

I was actually agreeing that at this point it doesn’t matter. I’m not sure how saying the pick will be judged by Ballards ability to build a team is crazy. The #6 pick should be a building block for the team. I believe he chose the wrong block. So how can what he ultimately builds not be considered when viewing the pick? But I’m tired of the argument. You can absolve Ballard from any responsibility for it all you want. He had no other option, I get it.

If there had been an OT available that was better than Nelson then I would have been all for taking him. I actually think Nelson could probably play OT better than any of the OT's that were in the draft

I bet the Ravens would’ve liked to have Nelson. Atkins has 2 sacks in FLUKKO

Curious. If we had a player get two sacks everyone would be praising him. We have nelsonkeep Luck clean and he’s over drafted.

Imagine what that game would have looked like with Vuj at LG.

BTW. are the Bengals actually good????

Love the Nelson pick, don't give a shit how high he was drafted.

I've said before I don't like taking a guard that high. But at this point it doesn't matter. He's our LG and he looks like he'll be one of the best in the league soon. I don't see the use in retrying the case on this over and over.

Their DL is good. I think the stampede blue guy said it was likely One of the top DL's we will face this year.

Here's their writeup / film study:

The DL isn’t much of a surprise. Dalton is though. Hard for me to believe he’ll play the rest of the season as well as he has in these first 2 games. If he does, yeah I think they are a good team. But I just can’t believe he will. Either way at least he didn’t blow up just against the Colts.

Dalton gets a bad rap. But he's thrown for over 4000 yards twice, 25+ TDs 4 times (one year it was 33 TDs), and in 2015 and 2016 threw single digit INTs. He's not Bortles. He's a good NFL QB when he's healthy and has a good coordinator.

That may be true. I definitely don’t see him as a Bortles. I’d label him serviceable. But after looking at his career stats it’s possible I underrate him some. In fairness my perception has been colored a lot by his playoff performances. That’s been just brutal.

Here's another play where he just destroys the DL.

Textbook!

If Kelly doesn't blow his block that might have given him enough room to juke the safety and result in a huge play.
