In my opinion it is old school thinking that you should not take an OG in the top 10 even if he is the best OLinemen in the draft. If Nelson is there at #8 it's a no brainer because he is that good, just like the Skins taking Scherff with the #5 pick in the 2015 draft.Wouldn't have a problem with Nelson but Im not crazy about using a top 10 pick on a G. The Notre Dame Oline coach, now Bears coach is supposedly one of the best, he should be able to coach players up as well.

I think a more likely scenario is the Bears sign Zach Fulton.
A. Former OC Nagy is now the head coach.
B. Former OL coach Hiestand is now the Bears OL coach.
C. Knows the system and is versatile.
D. You're not spending a top 10 pick on a position you can usually find later in the draft.

The RIGHT move is to go ILB, CB, EDGE, or WR(worst of the picks, but its a major need) in the first, due to a decent decline in talent for the players available in the second.
Then go hernandez or wynn in the second round. Which are still pro bowl level guards who should be available at 39.
Funny how many people say don’t take a guard at 8. Then you have others who say “he won’t be there at 8”-including some draft “experts”. It would be my guess that Nelson is on the Bears radar as they did cut Sutton. We’ll see what happens in FA.
Well, Charley Casserly, a former superbowl winning GM, basically says dont take a guard in the top 10. He says Nelson is the best player in the draft, but he still thinks hes not a top 10 pick.
Its honestly all value. Nelson is going to be a great pro, he has HoF potential, but the issue is that there are 3-4 guards in every draft that could have pro bowl potential and you don't need to spend a #8 pick. It will be much harder to find a pro bowl talent slip into the 2nd round at CB, ILB, and especially EDGE.
Ryan Pace has been pretty bad in the 1st round. He does his best work in the 2nd-5th round. I want Pace to take the sure thing in the 1st round not another guy who has tons of potential but without any real track record.
Kevin White has been a bust.
Leonard Floyd is playing without a position and is becoming injury prone (not surprising since his size was always a concern)
Jury is still out on Mitch Trubisky.
Take the sure thing and worry about the rest later.
Scherff was never tired at RT by the Skins, their tackles were in place, Moses started all 16 games at RT. Scherff has started every game of his career at RG.How is this old school. Theres been 5 guards taken in the last 30 years bro. Scherff was a RT who the redskins tried at RT before moving him to guard.
You are really telling me that nelson will have THAT MUCH more of an impact blocking interior rushers versus someone like Hernandez in the second round?
Taking a guard top 10 is a shit value pick for that reason.
