3. Quenton Nelson, Offensive Guard, Notre Dame
If Quenton Nelson enters the draft this season, he would be a great addition to the left side of the Giants offensive line. Nelson is great in both the pass and rushing game. He has the ability to overpower defensive linemen.
Nelson is quick for his size and is able to adjust to what is happening around him. Ben McAdoo will be able to take Nelson’s raw talent and make him into a great lineman. Nelson is the type of player that wants to make his team better.
The Giants left side of the line is their weakness. Nelson was named to the Sports Illustrated All-American second team. Notre Dame didn’t have a great season, but Nelson stood out because of what he was able to do on the line. Nelson would be able to provide better protection for Manning.
Nelson is able to create holes for the Giants running game. With his ability to overpower defensive lineman, Nelson could help revive the running game. This would be a good pick for the Giants. They need all the help they can get on the left side of the line, if they want to improve the offense.
