That's LSU's All-American LB Devin White he pancaked on the 2-point conversion.

On another play he basically choke slammed one of their freshman linebackers who was rushing the passer. Made the poor guy look like a toy doll. Nelson is a savage.

I think my favorite part about this is how calmly Q walks away from the guy after while knowing he isn't going to try to retaliate.

Idk....Guards very rarely get picked in the top 10. Q is hands down the best linemen, but I don’t think he goes top 10.

I'll put money on Q going in the top 10. He's a road grader and many are calling him the best linemen coming out.

He's not just another guard, he's a dynasty lineman if you plan on running the ball effectively.

I've seen a lot of boards with him in the top 10, some top 5



Not disagreeing with that. He will have the highest grade of any OL. But I bet he is not the first OL taken...it will be a tackle.

He won’t get out of the top 10. Multiple teams with their “franchise QB” picking in that top 10 would be foolish to pass on a franchise lineman to protect him. Usually a OT would be the preference, but their are 0 OT prospects at Nelson’s level. Indy at 3, TB at 7, Chicago at 8, SF at 9, and Oakland at 10 all will be ponder additional protection for their young QBs.

I agree with a T going first, but he won't go past 10. Taking Vbets now :)

Great, he won't be the first offensive player taken, it'll be a QB. That wasn't what was said originally.

But all good.

I will say that I've already seen some people (not pros) question whether he'll go top 10. The common question is how athletic is he. Road grading is great, but NFL teams normally jump on the super athletic guards early. David Decastro was seen as a similar guard prospect as Q is now, and that dude fell all the way to the 20s. Granted, I think teams are more desperate for any good O lineman today than they were 5 years ago. I'm looking forward to seeing his measureables from the combine
