Jeremy Maclin Cleared To Return.

I'm not hating on Maclin here, this is an honest question. Has he been a disappointment? He was considered one of the best receivers in the 2009 draft, but he has been completely overshadowed by Jackson. Considering he was a top 20 pick, has he been a disappointment? Has he not lived up to expectations?

Jackson surely is the headliner, but Maclin has been very good for us. Last year he had I think 77 catches for just under 1000 yards and 10 TDs. The way we spread the ball around in our offense, no one is likely to get near the 100 catch mark in a season. The team record is 88 set by Keith Jackson, long before the Reid era, and Westbrook. We throw to our backs a lot in our offense. Not sure yet how much, if at all, his situation may set him back to start the season, but I wouldn't consider Maclin a disappointment at all.

I see Maclin as a younger Reggie Wayne where Jackson is like a younger Marvin Harrison.

Glad to hear Maclin is okay.

i cant believe how fortunate philly was in the draft to get desean jackson in the manner they did. a good friend of mine who was hardcore about the guy and an eagles fan was working at the bar while the rest of us were drinking during that draft and everytime the eagles would trade their pick down to gain more like they did he was just getting more and more upset. he was so sure that someone would have been wise enough to pick up desean jackson before they traded down like 2 or 3 times on picks and STILL got him.

Funny thing is, he wasn't even our first pick that year. When we finally made a pick in the 2nd round, Trevor Laws was our first pick and we took Jackson 2 picks later. Had we never made those trades and had the extra 2nd rounder, we likely never get Jackson.

Jeremy Maclin is just as good as DJax, imo. They always are close in statistics, but Maclin isn't on ESPN as much as Jackson because he's not a flashy WR. But he had 20 TDs the last 2 years. Glad he's ok.

    • Welcome once again to Dr. T’s annual, official, Colts Draft Contest for 2024! Believe it or not, this is the 25th year we are doing this since the first contest was the Edgerrin James draft of 1999! With only seven choices this year, we needed to be creative again. So, contestants will be asked to select an A, B, and C choice for ALL rounds. Correctly choosing choice A merits 5 points, while correctly choosing choice B or C instead will merit 4 and 3 points respectively. If one of your "A" selections is chosen, but in a different round than you predicted, you get 2 points, if one of your "B" selections is chosen in a different round than you predicted, you get 1 point, and if one of your "C" selections is chosen in a different round than you predicted, you get 0.5 points. In addition, we will have a bonus question again this year and give everyone the opportunity to predict if the Colts will trade their #15 pick! The choices will be: trade up, trade back, stay put or you can also abstain from guessing. Like last year, if you predict correctly, you earn one point, but if you are incorrect, you will be DEDUCTED one point. If you don’t want to risk it, you can also abstain (no harm, no foul). For those that do not answer this question, the default is that this is a vote to abstain. If AND ONLY IF there is no clear winner at the end of the 7 rounds of the draft, the contest will be extended for ALL participants in which everyone will also be awarded one point for each collegiate free agent you predicted would be drafted by the Colts but was instead signed by the Colts after the draft.  Make your choices here by listing the round, choice A, B, or C for each round, with the name of the player, position and school AND your prediction on whether the Colts will trade the #15 pick this year. You may also write with each choice a little blurb explaining your rationale. Your 21 Colts selections and draft question this year are as follows:   Round 1 - #15 A, B, C Round 2 - #46 A, B, C Round 3 - #82 A, B, C Round 4 - #117 A, B, C Round 5 - #151 A, B, C Round 6 - #191 A, B, C Round 7 - #234 A, B, C   BONUS: Will the Colts trade the #15 pick this year?  1) Yes, they will trade up. 2) Yes, they will trade back. 3) No, they will stay put. 4) I don’t want to risk losing a point and will abstain.   Please be a good sport and do not just copy other contestant's selections. You can easily do some research on your own, since plenty of free draft services are available on the web. You also can make changes to your selections, but this can only be done before the contest is closed on Thursday at 11:00 AM CST April 25, 2024, on the first day of the draft. Good luck and let the best GM win!  
    • I guess Im not that excited about the class for one thing, maybe Im missing something.  What I see is rookie DEs fighting for playing time if they got here, I dont see big upgrades over what we have.  I do see big upgrades elsewhere that would start, probably day 1
    • Why be anxious about things you have absolutely no control over? We'll see what happens after it's all done.
    • But from a reduced viewing audience. What's the world coming to?
