From NFL.com:

 

Compares To: TONY SCHEFFLER, Denver -- Like Scheffler, Nelson is best served lined wide or in motion than when asked to work in-line. He has just adequate strength, which prevents him from being much of a blocker at the line of scrimmage. He shows very good open-field acceleration and works back to the ball well, but does struggle tracking the deep throws, especially those over his outside shoulder. He is the type that you will need to compensate by having a physical blocker to share positional duties.

Did anyone see him play last year?

 

I don't know boo about him but he was the top available guy in Kiper's list and we needed a TE so it seems like a reasonable pick.

Ingram would have been better

 

Ingram can make the catches and is a great athlete

Well that fills yet another need...

 

And he was to top player left on the board (Kiper's at least). Cant complain with 6'5'' and 4 year starter who runs a 4.56 and 21 reps on the bench. Good pick up

 

A few good draft sites have him as the 2nd or 3rd best TE. I like it
