Recent reports are that it is a torn Achilles

That sucks it was my first thought There aren't a lot of choices for a non contact lower leg injury when they bring out the cart. I feel for the kid that's a life changer

Meh. I just watch a few tapes of this kid. HE IS SOFT AS TOILET PAPER.

 

He never want to get an any tackles. Does a good job jamming, but he looks pretty weak there to. Obviously he has the skills to mirror his guys, but he might be bullied big time by heftier recievers.

 

I wouldn't put him on my the opposing no 1 receiver till he hits the weight rooms and gets the cobwebs shook out.

 

But his coverage is pretty tight.

The same things were said about Kevin Johnson and he's performing well for the Texans. 

 

You admit that he can jam receivers and mirror them. What more do you want out of a press man corner?

All the things he does, plus getting involved on tackles.

 

Look like a guy you don't have to worry about getting burnt....BUT, getting overpowered, that may be his weakness.

 

Its rare to have a player good at everything. That's what he isn't good at. HE has that Dion Sanders Syndrome, where he don't wanna get hurt so hes not tackling that RB if he doesn't have to.

When I evaluated him I didn't see any reason to worry about his strength or his tackling ability/effort. I don't expect CBs to be run stuffers...

Well, its not run stuffing, it a complete avoidance of the runner.

 

I saw him hit a guy on a busted flea flicker pretty square and knocked the ball loose.

 

But I saw about 5 times when there was a good chance the runner could break free or avoid a tackle by his teammate, he would literally stop and just look. LITERALLY. You can't do that in the NFL.

I'd take him if he made it to the 3rd, maybe even with our 2nd

 

No chance in heck should we take him with our 2nd and I'd cringe if we took him with our 3rd. If our defense was better set, maybe ok with a 3rd but that's hard to swallow for a prospect who has a few question marks on top of his injury.

Yeah that is tough on many levels.  Not only does he have to deal with the painful surgery and rehab, but he is no doubt going to fall out of the 1st round and likely lose millions to boot.  A tough tough deal for this talented kid.  It is however good for teams that could possibly get 1st round talent in the 2nd or 3rd round if they are willing to wait on him to heal.

Whether it's a torn Achilles or a torn knee ligament,  with 11 compensatory picks this year and the 3rd round going out all the way to pick 107,  it's hard to see Jones getting out of Day 2.      He should possibly go in the 2nd round,  but more than likely he goes in the 3rd round.

 

Really tough break for the kid.    Odds are he has insurance,  but the key is how much?     What he's going to need is a team that will be patient with him and won't expect him to play until 2018.

Wow I feel horrible for him. Hope he has insurance. He will be gone by the third. Look at Jaylon last year, and his injury had a possible finality to it, and Jones gambled and now the nerve will not refire. Achilles is worse than ACL, no doubt, but he is young.

We will see soon enough I suppose where he is picked but Sidney is not on the same talent plane as Jaylon was predicted so I don't think he goes in the first 3 rounds but I could be wrong. I'd say late 4th or 5th round. There have been years where top round talents got injured and went undrafted before.

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

      By Moosejawcolt · Posted

      That has always been my issue going back to the Polian years. They preferred undersized players to fit this scheme. That was great when they had a lead and played indoors. The problem  is that teams started running the ball to keep Peyton on the bench. Plus, u get in bad weather and on grass, their speed is negated and they are just a bunch of undersized players getting blown off the ball. I am in favor of building a team that can play in any environment and that can run various schemes. I see flexibility with the offence, however the D is the same old. That's why I think this is an important draft defensively. Will the Colts stray from their previous tendancies of drafting players that fit the Seattle scheme or will they deviate and say draft a man corner? Last year we were all on the edge of our seats when a trade was made at 3. Will we get our qb at 4? We were all on pins and needles till they made that pick. This draft has that same excitement for me. At 15 will Ballard and company do something different? This team needs a play maker on D and I contend that is their biggest need. I don't believe they get that player moving back.  Sure u may get him at 15 but if u really want a playmaker, this just might be the year to say move up and get a guy like Mirchell and Latu who may fall because of the medical. I am not in favor of getting a wr or te. Richardson, if he is the guy, should deliver explosive plays with our current roster.  Jot a fan of Gus and this scheme, but I really don't think he has a lot to work with and Ballard kind of eluded to that in his post season pressers.

      It’s officially over: Luck says he will never return.

      By 2006Coltsbestever · Posted

      The move happened before the 1984 season. To put in perspective how great Luck was here, here are the top 3 QBs over 40 seasons here win wise: Regular Season as a starter 1. Peyton Manning = 141 wins 2. Andrew Luck = 53 wins 3. Jim Harbaugh = 20 wins   Post Season as a starter 1. Peyton Manning = 9 wins (won the SB in 2006) 2. Andrew Luck = 4 wins 3. Jim Harbaugh = 2 wins   Luck had 33 more wins than Jim did and 2 more playoff wins than Jim did. Luck is so far ahead of any QB (not named Peyton) regarding wins in the Regular Season and Post Season that it is laughable.

      What is Chris Ballard MOST LIKELY to do in the 1st Round of the 2024 NFL Draft?

      I wonder whether there's anything to his reporting. Either way, I think he'd be better at safety / nickel. Even if the Colts view him as a boundary corner, I think they view corner as a Day 2 position.    DeJean definitely helped himself on his testing. I don't think the 40 time was concerning, even if I wasn't blown away by it. His explosive numbers were very good; if you watch his high school basketball clips, you'll see his explosiveness. And like stitches said, the Colts love explosive DBs, maybe even more than they love fast DBs.    And yeah, I side-eye any timed speeds when they don't happen at the Combine. There's hand timing, some surfaces are different, I've read that some tracks have a slight grade to them, etc. I don't know how they prepare all the 40 tracks, but I know that everyone that runs at the Combine gets the same surface, same conditions, etc.
