They need to pay Cousins or land Keenum and use that 5th pick on a guy who will play right away and become a HOF talent even if he is only a guard.
I wouldn't mind landing that White kid but I think the Pats are going to take him if he lasts that long which means John would have to move back up in the 1st round to get him. I would only do that if we ended up with a 2nd option FA QB but I would not use the 5th pick on a QB.
Nelson would help our run game and allow whoever the QB is to step up into the pocket and allow a rookie to take over at RT.

Cousins/Keenum + Nelson or Barkley would make Denver a better team in 2018 than a rookie QB would. I just don't think it would be good enough to go up against the Steelers, Pats, Texans, and Jax in the playoffs.
If we hit on the rookie QB though it wouldn't be a stretch to see him being just as good, if not better than Cousins in year 2 or 3. Also, you could use that $20-$30M that would've went to Cousins/Keenum to beef up the OL and other holes.
