    I like Eason and think he has the talent to be a franchise QB but not at 13. If Kinlaw, Jeudy, and Lamb go before our pick then I go with Epenesa. Based on this draft. Ballard goes after an elite DT in free agency. 

     

    13. A.J Epenesa DE, 6’5 275, Iowa

    34. Jake Fromm QB, 6’2 225 lbs, Georgia 

    44. Justin Jefferson WR, 6’3, 195 lbs, LSU

    75. Ezra Cleveland OT, 6’6 310 lbs, Boise State

     

     

    Jefferson will be gone by pick 44 IMO

    Yes, he did.  Glenn was getting towards the end of his career and had been struggling with his weight for a couple of seasons prior (the year prior to his retirement Glenn missed a good portion of training camp because the Colts would not let him practice until he got down to the team mandated weight.  But Ugoh was drafted with the idea he would sit for a year maybe two and learn from Glenn.  As training camp approached, Glenn was once again told he needed to lose a significant amount of weight and he didn't have it in him anymore to go through that so he retired.  It had nothing to do with be "po'ed" because Polian drafted his replacement.

    This is correct!

    I didn't follow him early, and have only seen his big games this year. 

     

    One thing I would ask, where has his receivers and TEs been drafted in tha past few years?  Look at Tua, he has Juedy, Ruggs, and DaVontae Smith (who is returning to school).  Arguably, Tua's three down the field receivers could all go in the top 60 this year.

    True, I believe Mims was drafted late by the Bears last year and played OK. I liked him. On the other hand Georgia gets a lot of fantastic athletes and should provide him with enough weapons!?!?

    Because of the success of a few NFL QBs, the media/pundits are going to overrate mobility all the way up to the draft.  They will ride the momentum of the trendiness.  Some GMs will too.  

     

    Not that Love is based on that, but it is a component of his game and he will get elevated because of it.

    Yup agreed that still doesn't make him good! And do so at your own peril and potential job loss if your a GM! I would damn make sure I was right if I took him in the 1st round.  Someone might fall in love with Jalen Hurts too.

    QB's dominate the draft every single year and I'm not sure why we think this year is going to be any different. Daniel Jones who IMHO is less of a prospect went 6 overall. A similar prospect in Josh Allen went 7 overall. He will likely do very well in his pro day and during the combine. He is the most talented QB in the draft, not to take away from the Burrow, Tua and Herbert but none of them match him Athletically IMHO. Worse yet there are plenty of teams out there this year needing a QB and plenty right ahead of us. Cincy, maybe Detroit, Miami, for now L.A, I wouldn't rule out Carolina, and possibly Oakland. Thats 6 Candidates before us looking at 4 prospects. I don't like those odds. I myself am just as guilty since during my mock i had us taking him in the 20's. Thankfully there are some decent options a Free Agents QBs this year and I am hoping L.A picks up Brady and then would be open to trading IF Love is our QB. I am going to start studying his tape a ton more but looking at stats if he would have been in the draft last year i think he's looked at to be the second QB taken in the draft. 

    I think with the success of the mobile QB's around the league you are drinking the Love cool aid! I dont think hes as good has you think. Someone might reach! I wouldn't touch him at least to the 2nd round. 17 INT's scare the % out of me!!

    For those who are regularly putting up Jacobys draft profile. Here is a link to Chad Kelly’s. Doesn’t read well.

    Hum Am i missing something?!?! I thought it read fine, and certainly better than Jacobys if you are talking about off field stuff, the Colts already know about it as do we all. I don't know if Kelly is the answer, but I would like to see what we got?? I think IMO he see's the field better than Brissett, and is willing to throw the ball deeper. Take risks! Even with the Colts running game and line, Jacoby nullifies the advantage it could make by his lack of vision, unwillingness to throw deep, lack of touch deep, & and his dink and dunk approach!

    I know this post will probably wind up getting folded in with another thread, but I was so wow'ed, that I had to share.

    I still have my 2016 Lindy's Draft Guide.  Here is their evaluation of JB:

     

    Jacoby Brissett, NC State  6-4, 236  projected 4th round

    In Our View:  Brissett sat out the 2013 season as a transfer from Florida and earned the starting job in '14, opening eyes with his performance against Florida State as NC State almost pulled the upset.  He finished the 2014 season with 26 total touchdowns (23 passing, three rushing), 2,606 passing yards and only five interceptions.  Set career-bests in 2015 with 237 completions and 2,662 passing yards, earning All-ACC honorable mention and a spot on the Senior Bowl roster.

    Brissett is well-built with physical traits for the next level with size, mobility and arm talent.  He can make NFL throws, but is also slow to read and showed gun-shy tendencies as a downfield thrower -- was the king of dink-and-dunk passes and checkdowns inflated his completion percentage.  Will get a chance as a backup but short of major improvement as a downfield passer that's his ceiling.

    Strengths:  Built for the NFL with a filled-out frame.  Has some Houdini to him with his mobility and physicality to brush off contact and keep plays alive.  Natural body power in short-yardage situations (902 career rushing yards).  Functional movement in the pocket and square to his target to deliver on the run.  Strong arm to spin spirals and can execute the entire route tree.  Understands touch, controlling his ball speed to add juice or trajectory.  Experienced making decisions in NFL-style offense, anticipating windows and reading coverage.  Tough and durable.  Takes care of the ball with a career 45-to-15 touchdown-to-interception ratio.

    Weaknesses:  Not confident as a downfield thrower; inconsistent with deep ball accuracy.  Too comfortable throwing on the run or delivering with his momentum going backwards.  Shaky platform and needs to set his base when given the time.  Inconsistent footwork leads to inaccurate ball placement (59.5 percent career completion percentage).  Low career interception numbers because he is too careful, not consistently pushing the ball downfield or fitting throws into tight windows.  Not an explosive athlete and tends to be indecisive on non-designed runs.  Doesn't understand how to use his eyes, leading defenders with late throws.  Pressure disrupts his tempo and late to climb the pocket.

     

    Is there anything in there that isn't still true, 3 years later?

    Sill the same YUP
