Top 50 NFL draft board: Why Quenton Nelson has earned the No. 1 spot
How early is too early to draft an offensive guard? That question will be asked in NFL war rooms across the league this spring when discussing Notre Dame's Quenton Nelson.
Simply put, Nelson is a special player. He is a day one NFL starter with All-Pro potential. The discussion regarding the "value" of an offensive guard in the top-five picks of the NFL Draft is meant for mock drafts, but for my draft board, there is no debate as Nelson is the best football player in the 2018 NFL Draft.
