As expected, it didn’t take long for Quenton Nelson to hear his named called at the 2018 NFL Draft. The Indianapolis Colts took Nelson with the 6th overall pick on Thursday night.
He’ll immediately ascend to the top of the Colts depth chart at guard.
Nelson fits in perfectly to a young team like the Colts who are in the midst of a rebuild. He immediately upgrades the line as a whole and should become one of the better guards in the league relatively early in his career.
In addition to quarterback Andrew Luck, starting running back Marlon Mack must be over the moon with Indy’s selection of Nelson.
