With the current lack of talent on the team I don’t see players being cap casualties anytime soon because you over paid for a top young guard in free agency (Norwell or Pugh), but I see the selection of Nelson immediately costing the team a defensive anchor. Seriously - what the hell am I missing?

We didn't "overpay" for Nelson. He was an elite prospect in this draft and would have been chosen within a couple of picks of where he went. That's not overpaying.
It would have been nice to get Norwell, but we don't even know what chance the Colts had in getting him. He may have not wanted to come to the Colts. It certainly would have free'd up a need, but we didn't get him. Since we didn't, it was addressed in the draft, with a guy who is an absolute beast. We got a great player, stop being a pansy and complaining.
