As much as I wanted an impact defensive player and am happy with Smith, and not that we could have gotten him anyway, but I have to hold my hands up and admit to being wrong about Quenton Nelson.
Not that I didn't think he'd be an elite guard, I did. But I was one of those who thought the 8th pick was too rich for a guard when there were so many potential impact defensive players there.
I was wrong. I didn't foresee Kyle Long being as bad as he has been, nor did I predict that Trubisky would still be clueless in this offense after another off-season to get it down.
Nelson might be the best player in the NFL right now and would do wonders for our running game, and would completely anchor the middle of that line with Whitehair and Daniels. In hindsight, that should have been the pick to hope for.
