# Tyler Sullivan: Sullivan expects Quenton Nelson to slot in at his usual left guard spot for Seattle, pushing 2025 first-rounder Grey Zabel over to right guard, and suggests Indianapolis may also move Jonathan Taylor and DeForest Buckner before the deadline. **Claimed:** Oct 27, 2026 **Pundit:** Tyler Sullivan — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/tyler-sullivan **Outlet:** CBS Sports — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/cbs-sports **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/quenton-nelson-trade-seahawks-colts-nfl-draft-picks/ 4 checkable claims — 2 depth chart calls and 2 trade and signing calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 5 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 2 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room on every one. > With Nelson, he can come in and assume his typical left guard position, which would allow 2025 first-round pick Grey Zabel to move to right guard. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Grey Zabel to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Grey Zabel, Seattle Seahawks - Verdict: not settled yet - **DeForest Buckner to move — “may ship out before the deadline”** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: DeForest Buckner - Verdict: not settled yet - **Quenton Nelson to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Quenton Nelson, Seattle Seahawks - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jonathan Taylor to move — “may ship out before the deadline”** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Jonathan Taylor - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Grey Zabel — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/grey-zabel - Seattle Seahawks — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/seahawks - DeForest Buckner — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/deforest-buckner - Quenton Nelson — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/quenton-nelson - Jonathan Taylor — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/jonathan-taylor ## What others said about the same people - Jeremy Brener on Seattle Seahawks: Brener picked the Seahawks to beat the Cardinals in Week 9 by a multi-score margin, giving a final score of 27-13, and expressed confidence Seattle would be fine with Drew Lock starting at quarterback. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/7eb2d245-63d0-4be0-80ba-3f60197e2b16 (scored 100) - Albert Breer on Seattle Seahawks: Breer picks the Seahawks to beat the Cardinals in their Week 9 NFC West matchup. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/4d67a8a5-0c05-4abe-b2ca-f0cef8390b1d (scored 100) - Dave Richard on Seattle Seahawks: Richard picks the Seahawks over the Cardinals. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/d3db433e-52c6-42d1-a3b0-6b342aac8a9e (scored 100) - John Pluym on Seattle Seahawks: Pluym picks the Seahawks over the Cardinals. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/e3897747-c55f-4340-9e82-03f9730f87ba (scored 100) - Pamela Maldonado on Seattle Seahawks: Maldonado picks the Seahawks in Week 9. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/38b2ad8f-9672-44e8-b3c2-b8ad3b004c09 (scored 100) - Conor Orr on Seattle Seahawks: Orr picks Seattle to beat Arizona. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/09b4853b-c80a-445c-ba25-063ac28c86f5 (scored 100) ## More depth chart calls The same kind of call, about other players and teams. - Michael Moore on Shedeur Sanders: In a Week 9 injury roundup, Moore forecast which banged-up fantasy contributors would play or sit: Deshaun Watson, Garrett Wilson, David Montgomery, Mike Evans, Deebo Samuel, TreVeyon Henderson and Terrance Ferguson are expected out, while Travis Kelce, Saquon Barkley, Michael Wilson, Christian Watson and Emeka Egbuka should play.
