I said he reminds me of Bouye and I've seen nothing to make me believe otherwise. Funny the announcers were saying Nelson had been thrown at the most in the NFL and had one of the best passes completed percentages as CB. Did anyone catch that? If so we may want to draft one for depth still but keep Nelson too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelson is 25, homegrown and is a solid cover corner with a lot of starting experience. If they are gonna pay someone, it may as well be him.

Yeah well you told us that Ward was "bench depth at best" 3 weeks ago, so you will have to forgive me if I dont put much weight in your assessment of CBs.

liquidfriend 1,151 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 The Chiefs are gonna have to be a little prudent with the cap, even with a rookie QB contract. I think Nelson will get 15m avg on the open market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll need him down the road if not sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I think he'll want to test the market that seems to throw a lot of money at FAs so he's likely gone. We'll see how things turn out though.

They are gonna have to spend somewhere back there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dksww 484 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Nelson getting an average of $10M per year would put make him a top 15 paid CB in the league. Are we sure this is gonna happen? He would be making about the same amount as Patrick Peterson and Casey Heyward. I mean I'm not saying anyone is wrong here, just finding that very surprising. I know he's been much better this year and expected it, but just not sure how he grades out vs the rest of the top CBs in the league. https://overthecap.com/position/cornerback/2019/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That includes slot guys too. He had a good year. Hes a solid cover guy. We all know he is susceptible to getting beat over the top and doesnt have great high end speed, which is why he holds so much. But the guy is still only 25. Hes started almost 40 games. He had 15 passes defended this year. He is homegrown so we already have time invested. I think he will absolutely approach 10 million per because thats what the market dictates these days. And he should. He is an improving young corner with good cover skills. I guess people dont want him back because he has trouble locating the ball??? I dont know why really. When healthy the dude is a good corner. And its an AWFUL market for CB this yr.

I definitely would want him back, I guess I am just surprised he would cost that much considering guys like Chris Harris and A. Talib are at about $8M. When I see Nelson get beat it's a perfect pass like the one on Sunday to Hilton or in the Seahawks' game. Otherwise, you never really see him even get targeted, a lot of that is due to everyone testing Ward the past few weeks, but I would definitely take Nelson back next year and beyond.

Another thing we have to factor in is safety play. They challenge our CBs deep because they know there is such shitty help over the top coming from the safeties. Sorenson, Parker, Murray. They all fuckin blow. Why wouldnt QBs take shots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
