    Ok….   I’ll be the fly in the punch bowl. 
     

    Freeland had a terrible Senior Bowl week.   Pushed all over the field.   He’s in serious, serious need of an NFL strength and weight program. 

     

    I think he’s a year away from contributing much.  

     

    yeah. I saw that he wasn't great in the one-on-ones at the Senior Bowl. But if you look up BYU offense vs defenses, you get a better look. He's very athletic and AWARE. One of the things we were horrible at last year was dealing with stunts. This kid sees them and responds to them. I think he looks good. Does he need time and strength, probably. But he can play. He's sooo tall you wonder if rushers who can reallly dip in the NFL will give him trouble. But I like him.

    I know others were hoping for Dawand, but I just didn't see us going that way after Zach Banner way back in 2017...

  2. He looks pretty damn good to me. Don't know if the multiple-move routes will work as well in the pros, but man. He's quick, he gets open, he catches the ball and he's tough as hell. I saw him take a couple of HUGE shots over the middle in his tapes. Got back up. He's also very feisty.

    He doesn't seem to have the ultimate take-the-top off speed to be a TD threat on every catch, BUT... he looks good to me.

    This offence needs a vertical burner. U have Downs and the tight ends. Pierce is pretty fast and great at 5o 50 balls.?However, still need a burner who teams need to respect. Can't stack the box.

    I like Tyler Scott from cindy but I don't know if we'll draft 2 WR.

    He can get deep

  4. I hope I'm totally wrong about this. He seems like a really nice kid. But I just watched game vids from him playing against TCU and Baylor and dang, he's a pass interference waiting to happen maybe he'll be OK in zone. I know he's tall an long and a big hitter... he also is a 4.53 guy at corner. Don't know. Like I said I hope I'm way off base

    If you put any stock into the RAS scores and line them up with the Colts' needs, you get some interesting guys to watch tonight and into Day 3. Granted, the RAS score isn't the end all, be all of grading a player, but we do know that Ballard keeps a sharp eye on that stat in the Draft. 

     

    NAME                                                           RAS SCORE

    1. Zach Kuntz, TE                                                10.00

    2. Julius Brents, CB                                                9.99   

    3. Darnell Washington, TE                                     9.88

    4. YaYa Diaby, DE                                                   9.87

    5. Jonathan Mingo, WR                                         9.87

    6. Blake Freeland, OT                                             9.83

    7. Darius Rush, CB                                                 9.80

    8. Cam Smith, CB                                                   9.69

    9. Jon Gaines, G                                                     9.69

    10. Isaiah Foskey, DE                                             9.61

    11. Michael Wilson, WR                                         9.55

    12. Rashee Rice, WR                                              9.53

    13. Marvin Mims, WR                                            9.41

    14. Cody Mauch, OT                                              9.33

    15. Luke Wypler, C/G                                             9.31

    16. Sam LaPorta, TE                                               9.02

     

    I'm looking at Brents, Diaby, Mingo, Freeland, Rush, Gaines, Rice, Mauch and Wypler as the players to watch from this group. 

    I'm a little surprised that Brents is so high. If I read NFL.com correctly, he ran a 4.53 40. That's not great for a corner. And we've gone for faster corners recently. Rodgers is fast as hell and I think Flowers is very fast too.

    Second thought. I like Darnell Washington but sometimes, I think, the RAS scores show traits that don't always add up to the sum of their parts. He's talented, but lumbering. And Jonathon Mingo didn't get much separation in the vids I saw and THAT was in college.

    I like Mims and Tyler Scott a LOT more. Tyler Scott is damn good. AND a deep threat with speed...

    I think there is a tipping point with the fan base if AR doesn't rescue them...to where fans might start being fans of Joe Burrow and Trevor Lawrence. 

     

    I know that I have rooted for CIN and JAX when I don't root for the Colts, and it may start to get pretty tough to root for them if the GM can't ever figure things out.

    Dude. bite your tongue. No offense meant, but man, if all it takes is another pretty face to make someone a fan of another team, see ya.

    I lived through Pagel, Erickson, Schlichter, trudeau, Chandler, George, hog-e-boom. 

    I'm a Colts fan man... :)

  7. With an arm like richardson's you'd sure like to add a deep threat WR. Somebody with some wheels. We don't have that right now.

    I see us trading back in the 2nd and pick up a 3rd. When it is our turn there will be some guys like Porter or Mayer or Washington to name a few that some teams will be drooling over  that they thought would be gone in the 1st that they will want bad enough to give up a later 2nd and 3rd. We need a lot and If we had 3 picks in the round 2 and 3 we can get a CB, WR and IOL that would help tremendously.

    I also like the trade back idea if there isn't a first round type at 35. But I was checking over each teams remaking picks last night and there weren't many with extra 3s...

  9. Yeah. I think Flowers will be gone before 35.

     

    Also, there should be a lot of good, "coulda been a first rounder" players. One I like is the LB/Micah Parsons like rusher from Arkansas. Drew Sanders. Outside of scoring TDs, we need more guys who can put heat on the opposing QB. He's a very good rusher. Just not sure he fits Bradley's defensive scheme. But having Sanders would also help our LB unit. We've lost some dudes. I do think Jojo Domann will make steps this year...

    Yes, you would have to pay Fields sooner. The trade off would be possibly skipping the two years that it typically takes a drafted QB to develop. We know that Fields can play on the NFL level. We don't know this about any of the draftees yet. If you draft a QB and then after 2-3 years you realize he is a miss, then you will be back to square one again.

    hear what you're sayin, but some would argue that Fields really hasn't developed THAT much at this point. He played well this year, but still has a lot of work to do as a passer, I think.

  11. The challenge for this team right now is to figure out how not to self destruct. I swear, I've seen BAD Colt teams make mistakes, but I NEVER seen a Colts team with this much talent find ways to destroy themselves. Keke's already done it today on a drive that would have scored points. 

    Having said all of that, and even with Matt playing well, I'd rather run with Sam. That way we either lose out and get in better position for a 1st round QB or we find out that sam can be THE guy.
