In a heartbeat.
I honestly don't understand all the Fromm animus. He looks and plays like an NFL quarterback even if the Georgia offense doesn't really help him.

Fromm was surrounded by lots of NFL talent at WR last year, when he threw 30 tds and 6 picks. This year was different. they had a whole new cast of young receivers who didn't play that well. he had one good receiver, dude named Cager, but he went down mid-season and Fromm struggled.
i still see a little Drew Brees in him, but Brees was in a pass-heavy offense at Purdue. If you go back and look at Fromm last year, he did a better job of striding through his throws. this year he was pretty much winging it off his back foot. I think a good QB coach could fix that.
Herebert deserves a little slack. His supporting cast of pass catchers is very down from previous Oregon teams. He had pretty good games vs USC and Washington, which are their two historical big games. He even played well (not lights out) vs Utah and Auburn.
Fromm is surrounded by so much talent it's obscene. He's got three 5 star WRs catching balls, and one lesser star (Cager) that is a monster possession threat. That's on top of one of the best OLs and RB groups in the league. He'll be exposed early if he ever gets a start. Had they kept Fields, they'd be playing for a NC this year.

Fromm reminds me a little of Drew Brees, except that Brees ran a really passing-friendly offense at Purdue.
Watching Fromm, I feel like he throws off his back foot, all arm and doesn't step through on a lot of his throws. I think he could be a candidate for reworking his throwing motion if he comes out for the draft. If he stepped through, i think it improve his accuracy and put another 5 yards on his deep throws.

The one thing that makes it really hard to evaluate Gordon is that he gets SO MUCH time to throw in WSU's offense.
I swear I've seen him standing back there 7 to 8 seconds in a bunch of games.

I'm old. Been a Colts fan since 1970. Here's what I know from watching football for nearly 50 years. QB is the MOST important position. The Colts wandered in the losing wilderness for 20 years between Bert Jones and Peyton Manning. There were flameouts --- trading Elway, drafting Schlicter, drafting George. There were years of Chandlers, Trudeaus, Pagels --- and always, losing. We got one great year with a slightly above average QB, Harbaugh.
But you want sustained winning? You need a really good QB. You are always looking for a QB.
Draft one high. Don't count on getting lucky. I'd be knocking on Luck's door. If it's shut I'd be drafting one. One that can throw. I like Brissett, but you can't win in the NFL throwing for less than 200 yards a game.
I like Eason's arm. Love is physically impressive. I think Fromm could be better if he stepped through his throws instead of winging it off his back foot.

Sweat was off the Colts board. As he was with most teams. That’s why he fell to pick 26. Otherwise he’d have been drafted in the top-10/12.
Ballard didn’t have the choice of drafting him or not.
Of course he did. We don't KNOW for sure if the Colts took Sweat off their board for medical or any other reason. Other teams did not. He was available. I like the Banogu move. But if Sweat has a pro bowl career, this will be revisited.

I talked about this in the Ballard's draft post. It's definitely the defining decision of this year's draft. You could have picked the exact same players EXCEPT stayed at 26 and picking Sweat instead of getting 49 (and a 2 next year) and picking Banogu.
It's interesting. NFL.com did combine breakdown of the most athletic players and Sweat and Banogu tied at 99. Sweat was faster, but Sweat was more explosive in other areas.
Here's what I think watching the video game clips of both guys. Sweat is first and foremost a pass rusher --- a "going forward" guy. I think that Banogu is much more athletic moving backward and side to side. Ballard hinted that this was a consideration when he said they're toying with the idea of moving Banogu all around, at SAM, at Mike, as a pass rusher.
I think he's much more of a chess piece than Sweat.
But Sweat could be a double-digit sack guy down the road. That's what this draft could be defined by years from now.

It was a gutsy and unusual draft. I honestly don't remember any GM saying, in effect, "talent was second in some of our analysis, we were MORE concerned with character and not wrecking the unique chemistry we have in our lockeroom."
We could have had the EXACT same draft with one exception --- we could have stayed at 26 and drafted Montez Sweat instead of having 49 and choosing Banogu.
I'm on board, but that will be interesting to track in the coming years.

I'm pretty sure that 34 was also "Big Play Ray's" number too.
I know, I'm dating myself. Ray Buchanon, one of the best CBs to play for us.

I gotta say, this is confusing. John Simon was our BEST defensive player last year before he got hurt. I know that he doesn't naturally "fit" the new scheme, but dang...
We're already shedding players that we just signed a year ago. Hankins ... now Simon? Hope not. Heck, I'd try him at MLB
-
I think I read on one of the school's pages that his nickname was "dragon."
Kemoko dragon! :)

I heard that too. One thing that stuck with me from Walker's draft profile was a scout saying he thought he had bulked up too much in his last year and that made him less flexible and mobile.
Losing weight could be great for him.

OK, say what you want, but this dude is a LINEBACKER.
Check this out. he does his interview with his helmet ON.
-
his highlights look incredible. Big hitter. his pro day says he was fast. Why isn't there more info about this guy?

Good pick. Needs work in a pro offense, but he could be good!

really disappointing. he definitely looked good when he COULD play.
I guess they felt like he didn't fit the 4-3. Strange. Especially for a 7th rounder. (sigh)
Good luck Henry...

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 love it. watched a couple of highlights from the east west shrine game, where he apparently shined.
i read that he may need work on running routes, but he looked like he ran really sharp routes in what I saw.
coooool

He's big, he dominated in the FCS and then impressed at the East West shrine game.
i read that he needs work on running routes, but I saw highlights from the shrine game and he looked like he runs really sharp routes.
like it

I know that we've already picked to OL, but Crosby was rated really high.
i don't understand why he's dropping at all. unless there's something people aren't saying
take it back. Detroit picked him up
-
I liked Miami's RJ McIntosh. he just got picked and we traded out of our pick.
anyone know where we traded to?
Maybe Mike White
-
I think Mewhort if his knee is OK. I think they may start Smith at RT. That would make Haeg the swing guy.

Check out this web article. Goes into great detail, with video clips, of Turay at the Senior Bowl. Yesterday, Ballard kinda jumped on questions at his press conference, said Turay "didn't look like a project at the Senior Bowl; he looked like the best friggin pass rusher there."

I think this guy will play for us and play well. l saw someone earlier say he had durability issues; not sure where that comes from. He was NC state's main runner last year. He's tough. I watched him take a couple of big hits and bounce right back up. He's a good running back; patient behind blocks, good vision. He doesn't really show the finishing speed you'd think of after running a 4.38; but he's plenty fast. Catches the ball well. One thing I noticed is that he doesn't always see the safety tracking him on long runs.
this guy's good.

GM's End of Season Press Conference
in Colts Football

there's no doubt you don't want to force picking a QB in the draft. Just go back over the QBs drafted over the last 10 years, you'll find lots of first-round flame-outs.
However, without a top-flight QB, you're also irrelevant.
You HAVE to chase a QB --- one way or another.
I don't care if you have the freakin 1976 Steeler's defense.
