Bosa is likely going in the first five picks -- it'd be an upset if he falls out of the top three right now -- but Nelson (6'7/271) could be a nice fallback option, as Trapasso mentions. "[Nelson] has the most advanced repertoire of pass-rushing moves at the edge rusher spot in this class after Bosa and demonstrated high caliber athleticism at the combine with a three-cone drill time in the 92nd percentile at his position as well as a broad and vertical in the 82nd and 87th percentiles respectively," he writes. Right now, it looks like Nelson will be a Day 2 pick, and he could be a steal in that range.
Anthony Nelson is a great kid. I used to work with his dad (who also played DL for Iowa). He's tough, he's got good measurable, and he's got a great work ethic.

Usually "motor" is a code word for "not athletic". He's plenty athletic AND has a motor too. He's used to playing in a scheme that emphasizes getting pass rush out of the front 4.

I honestly think he's a PERFECT fit for this defense and would love to see him as a Chief.
