The New York Giants (2-13) will host the Indianapolis Colts (7-8) at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Sunday afternoon in a Week 17 battle.
That, of course, provides those of us here at Giants Wire the opportunity to hypothetically steal from the Colts’ roster in search of depth and/or talent upgrades for Big Blue.
There are a number of players from the Colts who would immediately improve the Giants’ roster and by a significant amount.
Guard Will Fries, tackle Bernhard Raimann, wide receiver Alec Pierce, defensive lineman DeForest Buckner, and cornerback Kenny Moore II are all worthy of taking. Each would make the Giants a better team in their own way.
However, there is one player who stands out above the rest: Guard Quenton Nelson.
Nelson is one of the most well-rounded offensive linemen in football and arguably a top-3 guard. He’s every bit as talented a pass protector as he is a run defender, grading out in the top-6 in each category.
Not only would Nelson shore up a long-standing issue for the Giants, but he would also provide valuable veteran leadership — something the team is lacking.
What are your thoughts, Giants fans? Would you pick Quenton Nelson or would you steal an entirely different player from the Indianapolis Colts?
