Colts select NC State RB Nyheim Hines

For what it's worth....

 

Hines is a Pat Kirwan favorite...   and comped him to...   Dion Lewis...   said he also ran between the tackles surpridingly well for s back if his size...

 

Ive never bought the comparison to Darren Spoles...   in style?  Maybe.   But not in size..   Spoles is a little tank.   I think the Lewis comparison is the most accurate.

Yeah I said Sproles earlier :lol:, it was because of his speed. This guy looks awesome!

Sorry...,   I wasn't trying to single you out...   not at all...    I read the Spoles comp more than any other...    I just think Lewis is a better comp.

I knew you wasn't but I said the same thing others did regarding Sproles. That is what made me laugh when you Posted that.

This pick has multi layers to it.....in one player we get a dynamic returner, a slot receiver and a change of pace/scheme running back.

 

This means we don't have to hold onto a "returner" only players like Josh Ferguson or a wide receiver that adds nothing in the passing game!

Not sure if it's been posted, but if you guys should watch his post combine interview on the NFL Network.  What a great personality!  You can tell by listening to him that he's the type of guy Ballard wants on our team. 

 

Funny story about Chubb and BB too.

Lol idk why people assume Mack can’t be an inbetween the tackles kind of guy..he’s literally about the same size as freeman on the falcons if not bigger and he’s an inbetween the tackles back.. you don’t have to be 230+ to run the football up the middle just have to have vision an explosive burst to shoot through..

hes about the same size as gore too

 

we just have not seen him produce much between the tackles and he seems to be pretty quick to head for the edge

I definitely agree. Sproles is roughly 5’ 6” and 190 lbs. Hines is 5’ 9” and cose to 200. Not a huge difference quantitatively, but a tremendous difference functionally... This new stable of backs can be electric behind an improved line!

I hope he learns to take a little better care of himself with us. Every run I saw that he doesn't score on, he outruns his blockers, weaves through traffic and then takes an incredible hit from a defensive player coming from his blind side.  He has s fearless running style.  I can't wait to see him play, just don't want him injured.

    • This is it, and that's how I saw Ballard's pushback -- he's always going to be small. So what do you do with that? Whether they were talking about Worthy or someone else, I don't think Ballard's point was that he needs to put on 10-12 pounds and he won't be able to. I think the point was you can't count on that, so judge his body as it is now.   As for Worthy, he's not much smaller than Josh Downs. At a certain point, small is small. If you draft a guy like that, you need to be comfortable with his size, not betting that he's going to get bigger.
    • Dobbs doesn't strike me as being team president/GM material, and the fact that there has been little movement, little evolution in Ballard's approach in 8 years, tells me Dobbs is more of a yes man, a rubber stamp man.  Other teams can see that.  If Dobbs, or anyone, were actually challenging Ballard from time to time, you might see a change in approach occasionally.
    • If I can find it, I’ll post it. But I think with most teams, they don’t have a plan for TEs. They just draft them just because. Steichen is a guy that seems to have a plan for the players that are drafted. And we’ve seen in Ballard’s recent presser that getting guys the staff can create a plan for is important to them.   This past season we drafted Downs who was different from the receivers that Ballard typically drafts. He had a lot of success because of his own ability, but Shane also schemed up ways to get him favorable match ups. I think Bowers is the type of guy that would flourish with Shane scheming him up. He’s a mismatch against LBs and safeties.
    • Well it’s expensive to move up into the top five.  He said in his presser moving up for Harrison is a “fantasy “.  I would guess he’s referring to pick 4 or there about.   That’s expensive.  I don’t consider he meant that high when he mentioned striking distance.  For me striking distance starts at pick 9.   Probably costing our 2nd round pick as well.  Let’s face it the only 2nd rd picks where Ballard acquired a great player with were Leonard and Taylor.  Leonard in the 30’s and Taylor pick 41.  We would be giving up 46 with a chance to get elite.  Pick 46 would probably get good not even great if he used it.  I’m hoping he tries for greatness this time and stays or moves up.  Please don’t trade back.  That’s all I ask.
