I've been calling out DE as a target position since January.
I'm surprised that the Colts took a risk with his medical, when they tend to be more conservative with stuff like this. They're obviously comfortable with it, and after listening to his comments about what happened at Washington, it sounds like maybe they gave up too quickly. No doubt the Colts did their due diligence. We'll see how it plays out.
He's a great prospect. Not my favorite guy in this draft, but no doubt about what he brings to the table. He's the most polished pass rusher in this draft, and the most accomplished. But he's not just a technician, he has burst and power and speed, and he can bend enough. You want production over RAS? How about both?
I don't know how much upside he has. He's not the most exciting prospect to me for that reason. He can still be really good.
Latu is a good start to the draft. The position is just too hard to fill. The opportunity presented itself and I am glad the Colts acted on it. I cannot even recall when the first defensive player went off the board that late - Fortunate for the Colts.
I really like Roman Wilson, but due to his size I think he is probably a slot receiver in the NFL. Josh Downs is our primary slot receiver, and potentially a good one. Therefore I don't see Ballard drafting a slot receiver before the 5th round, and Wilson will be long gone by then. JMO, could be wrong. He is a baller though!
