Quenton Nelson is the most dominent offensive linemen I have seen in a LONG time. Thing is he played at guard. If JT leaves what are the thoughts of drafting this kid and moving him to left tackle???

I just can’t envision a scenario where he would be the pick. At 4, I’d go with Barkley or Fitzpatrick, or, in the unlikely case they are both gone, see if NYJ or so either team wants to leapfrog Denver for a QB.
As for the player himself, I hate the idea of picking a guy that high and asking him to change positions. There are too many great players available that don’t have to change positions.
That’s a high pick for a project. Make no mistake, he’s a great guard. But shift him over to tackle and…who knows? But that’s just it…when you’re in the top 5, you’d better be damn sure that whoever you take will do what you drafted him to do.
We have too many needs to get crafty.
If we draft Nelson then he takes over LG and Bitonio moves to LT.
I just don’t see anyone choosing him in the top 10 of the draft. IMO he’s the best player in the draft, but guard is not a huge position of importance. One of the good teams might grab him in the back end of the 1st round and really have themselves a prize.
