What a joke. This kid better be a stud from week 1 on for me to be happy about it. There's a handful of kid's who could have been day 1 starters. Is TJ Green one of them? I don't see it.

He's a converted receiver, so he's almost guaranteed to not be a day 1 starter.  Really bad pick, in my opinion

Shows how dumb Grigson is. I'm not worried about 2019. Hell we can worry about the future when that time comes. I want kid's who are likely to be day 1 impact players. So stupid. Welp. We best win from here on out, Fackrell in the 3rd would ease this a little

But he;s only played safety 2 years..that;s the kicker.....He's just learning

...at 6-foot-2 and 4,3 speed...

Think about it

It doesn't matter as everyone knows PFF is the be all and end all of all that is football? Lol, a bunch of self proclaimed Brits that have NO NFL experience, that are selling snake oil so you can dominate your fantasy league, are way smarter than any actual NFL Executive.

 

Press Corner seems to be his eventual landing spot according to people who actually get paid to speak about this type of thing? We shall see?

I'm in break s*** mode. Billings? Day 1 starting NT. Nope we want a developmental safety who may be good or may be out of the league in 4 years. Yep. That genius Grigson. I tell you what.

 

 

I have a strange feeling hes going to NE

I am really surprised we passed on Andrew Billings. There must be something wrong with him. Something off the field or something we are not aware of. 

 

It seems like Green is an interesting developmental prospect at corner. Great size and speed, but destined for special teams this year.

"The national championship game highlighted an issue that shows up every week for Green—he’s a bad tackler. With 13 missed tackles in 2015, Green ranks as one of the worst tackling safeties in the country. And it’s not a physical issue, but a want-to issue. "

I really liked our first round pick but that being said I will hold true judgement on that pick and this one until I see them on the field in an NFL game.  So many picks bust and so many unexpected players become the perfect fit and household names.  This discussion although fun is all speculative as we like all the so called "experts" really don't know how these guys will work out until the season.  We kept our GM and Coach so now I have to have faith they are doing the right thing until the tape in an NFL season says otherwise.

I can't see him being an All-Pro.  He's big and fast, but that doesn't mean much, in my opinion

I am not in love with the pick either, but it's a little weird to put a cap on someone's potential without even seeing him play a day in the NFL yet. Especially someone who the Colts obviously thought highly of.

I would love Fackrell in the 3rd

Just my opinion.  He's a developmental guy, so he'll need at least a few years to get used to the position and the speed of the NFL.  I'm hoping I'm proven wrong, but I don't see it.

Calm down. Demanding for any 2nd round pick to be a "stud from week 1" is asinine.

      Did you miss Buckner's new extension? The one with the large signing bonus and void years?

      I like Latu, but don't you think there's a significant number of teams that are scared off by his medical? And then a couple more who will downgrade him because of his age?

      Colts have the 15th pick in the draft. (MERGE)

      By Jason_ · Posted

      yeah pretty much what I figured.  If they are going to start mixing up coverages and running more man coverage, then sure grab a CB in the first.  If they're going to continue being a mostly zone team regardless, then no, no round 1 CB.

      The mission is to build something that has us competing with the best of the best. This is a season for AR to get tuned up.  Who do you think will be the right guys on our roster now to take us to an AFC Championship game?  It's not Smith, Fries, and we likely can't get there with more than 2-3 of our current back seven.  I would offer Buckner to the Bears as part of a trade for 9. Eberflus wants to have a great D so maybe he bites.  Then hopefully trade back 2-3 spots for a good pick.  I'd love to come out of the draft with Latham and the Byron Murphy II. And come out of the draft with RG Bebe.

      I think he's a little overrated as a corner prospect. Doesn't mean I don't like him, I do. But I was hearing about how incredibly athletic he is, people were talking about him like he was a lockdown defender, then I watch him for a couple games and I don't see that. So at first I was pretty down on him. Then I went back and watched him with my expectations much lower, and I see what he has to offer.   He's definitely athletic, but not the standout, premier athlete people were making him out to be at first. Watching his high school basketball videos helped me contextualize his athleticism, there's plenty of burst there. He has some struggles flipping his hips and staying connected late in the down. He's feisty and physical, plays the run with enthusiasm, tackles well, and he has explosiveness. He's better in shorter areas when he doesn't have to try to keep up with a receiver with elite speed. I know he ran 4.43, but it wasn't a pro day, it was a private workout. I discount timed speeds at pro days, and definitely at private workouts. To me, he's closer to 4.5 than 4.4, and that's what I expected when watching him play.   To me, he's a safety/nickel prospect, not a boundary corner. And if he were looked at as a boundary corner, I think his arm length would probably disqualify him for the Colts, at least in the first round. And I think the Colts already view corner as a Day 2 position. He's said all the right things about playing multiple positions. And while I don't know how the new rules will affect kickoffs, I think it makes sense to have good options at returner, so that helps his stock as well. But I think the second round is the right range for him. If we drafted him, I think we still need a boost on the outside.
