Who would you take 9th overall, QUENTON NELSON, ROQUAN SMITH or TREMAINE EDMUNDS?

If all three players would be there, which one would you take? This is a tough one for me.

We need more talent at Guard, but because Reuben Foster can´t get out of trouble, we also need another elite Linebacker.

we already have a bunch of young OG .. they just need to stay healthy.. I'd stay away from NELSON with the 9th overall pick.. he can't get us to the Super Bowl...

plus, WILL " The Pancake " HERNANDEZ should be available late, maybe we can trade back late in the 1st round if we really wanted another OG..

Edmunds may not be there at 9, so I'm thinking of The Roq instead... but if Edmunds is there, should be a NO brainer..

1. Nelson-Best guard prospect in the past 20 years. Size and athleticism to work in any scheme.

2. Roquan-Ready to go right out of the box, excelled at the highest levels of college football. Top notch instincts and tackling ability.

3. Edmunds-Supreme physical talent with outstanding athleticism, top notch tackler, still pretty raw, gave up a lot of big plays due to a lack of awareness and instincts, especially in zone coverage. Will need time to develop.

Can't answer that question until after free agency. If all 3 of these guys were available I would probably say Nelson though (unless they already nabbed Norwell in FA).

Nelson.... Smith..... no Nelson.... wait Smith definately Smith.... eh Nelson yeah maybe. Definately not Edmunds that's all I really know. Smith honestly makes more sense cause of the Foster issues and the depth at Guard in this draft and the lack of Linebackers projected for next year. But Nelson is incredible and just screams gold jacket.
