[CR91]

Another weapon for andrew

[Reboot]

Hotty Toddy!  

[IinD]

Hate it he sucks.. lol

 

Liked that LSU run from the highlights. 

[Fisticuffs111]

Looks like he can make defenders miss.

[colts52761]

thought we would take a db

[Case]

Ok I can’t defend this one. Kid is a sleeper but we just took Hines. Have it trolls. Free to say what you wish 

[icf]

Two RB???

 

Thats, um, interesting......

 

guess they have a secret stash of CB in the roster I don’t know about.

Running back by committee.  It’s what the Eagles used last year to win the Super Bowl and our new coach was their OC so it makes sense to me.

theres probably better CBs in the 6th just relax

[IinD]

I'd say it means you better do your job or you won't have one.

hines is more of a spread them out back not someone you pound the ball with. 

[waka waka]

Looks like a build through the draft approach. as i said in another post outside of Mack today not a lot of depth (depth ballard drafted) He's a run btw the tackle guy this is going to be a committee approach. I think the corners come in 6/7 and UDFA i think there some corners they wanted but it looks like they've stayed true to there board. 

[Colt Overseas]

I love this player. The kid is such a smooth runner, makes people miss with ease.

[Case]

He did average like 6 yards per carry

You can never have too many RB there are still good DB out there we have 2 picks left could still get one of them.

[Case]

I like both running backs that we took but not that we took both. Still other needs. 

[stitches]

I've heard his name as a sleeper but I haven't watched him play.

Looking at his highlights, he plays the position like someone that knows how.  Meaning, he's not a scat back nor a big pounder.  Seems like he knows when to initiate contact and when to avoid it, knows when to bounce and knows when to stuff it. He can catch and has decent speed,  I like his highlight package.  Hopefully everyone starts to settle down, we're getting some real nice pieces late!  I really like this draft!

[Fisticuffs111]

This guy just has the look of an NFL RB, and I love that we’re going to more of a rbbc.

[Architects08]

Love this pick, I mean RB is a big need and waiting until the later rounds has worked out so well in the past. You cant go wrong with a 5'8 wannabe Sproles and this guy. Yay Ballard Yayyyyyyyyyy. 

[IndySouthsider]

Hines going to be used like Sproles?

[ColtsLegacy]

His NFL.com analysis sounds a lot like Donald Brown to me.

[CR91]

This has Reich's handprints on it, but I also think this is a message to Marlon that if he wants to start, hes gonna have to earn it

• he reminds me of a poor mans Duce McCallister 

[MarquisJ]

We resigned Robert Turbin hard to see us keeping 4 backs kinda seems like the odd one out

Hmm, I can see that.

[Gigc]

Who knows? He's really elusive. He's got that Leveon Bell thing ---- where he tiptoes up to the line then tries to explode through a hole when he sees it. Really elusive, can catch, doesn't run through anyone.

had a couple of really impressive runs against Bama.

I all for competition but it seems to me we now have competition at OL, DL and RB and every other position is getting a pass.  This LB and CB cores we have right now is feeling pretty safe and in all honesty they shouldn't.  I know philly did stuff like this but they had established players already in the fold before they started and our cupboard is damm near bare.

Here's a full thread with videos of Wilkins, go to the tweet itself to see the rest:

Fred Jackson is also a good comparison runs very hard more elusive than he looks can help on 3rd down and solid in pass protection. 

 

Personally reminds me of Duce McCallister

Wow.  Those are LSU and Bama defenders he is running around, through, and jumping over...

We drafted 3 DBs last year

[shasta519]

Seems like the Colts will be heavily utilizing a zone blocking scheme this season. Which is fine by me.

I am disappointed with the lack of CBs and LBs taken though.

[Matthew Gilbert]

Honestly this guy wasn't on my radar but everything I've read and his highlight tape is pretty nice. Not sure why this guy wasn't talked about more during the whole process.
