    Great draft

    in Colts Football

     We miss Gedeon(120) who I thought was a real steal. He had good tape, numbers, did well at the Sr Bowl then lit up the combine.  

     

    Interesting. Gedeon was one of two players that Vikings fans were not pleased with. We thought he was a reach. I like him but my fellow Vikings fans were disappointed. We would have preferred Desmond King or Jake Butt at that spot.

     

    The Colts had a very strong draft. The first 3 are top players. I believe the Vikings were interested in drafting Basham. We met with him in January. I believe that if he had still been there at #86, we would not have traded back (down) and would have selected him.

     

    Hope all the players work out for our respective teams.

    Even if this is all true, it still seems odd to fire him right after the draft. If they wanted him gone this badly, they should've just fired him months ago.

     

    (See what is in bold)

    While it is not their GM that was fired, the Colts fired Jimmy Raye and members of the Scouting Department after the draft. I think the Jets did the same a couple of years ago.

     

    I thought the Colts had a very good draft. I wonder why they let go of those who helped the GM choose the players.

    I'm aware I wasted my time for probably 2-3 replies lol.  I had nothing else to do today and was bored.

     

    This is based on my personal player rankings, how I felt each team addressed their needs, and how I see each class helping down the line.  This is not a ranking of flashiness, number of big names, or media reception.  I do not expect many to agree.

     

    Let's face it, we're all going to be laughably wrong anyway.

    Thanks for sharing your thought on the draft. Any comments on the Vikings (my team)? You listed them under "honorable mention". I am interested to here what you liked and disliked about the Vikings draft. Thanks.

    I agree. I wonder if something happened in the last few days during the draft that hastened his firing -- maybe he and the new coach disagreed on a draft pick or something similar. I heard on the radio that before the announcement of the firing, the coach was talking about how great he thought their draft was. 

     

    Anyway, the situation up there has appeared dysfunctional for many years. I thought the GM would have been fired along with Rex. It makes no sense keeping him around only to fire him a few months later.

    That's strange a day after the draft....maybe the owners wanted one of the Qbs

     

    They drafted Nate Peterman. I thought they were going to draft Jim Kelly's nephew Chad Kelly who was the last pick of the draft. I wonder if there was some backlash for not taking Kelly. Having said that, there was speculation that Whaley would be fired after the draft. 

     

    Quote:

    "The writing seems to have been on the wall for months. Doug Whaley has been fighting reports about his impending firing dating back to last offseason. With the continued reports about Sean McDermott’s growing voice in the front office, it wouldn’t shock me to see a front office overhaul in May. I almost titled the Whaley opinion piece in my draft guide “Why Doug Whaley will be fired after the draft.” Even if Whaley holds onto his job while the scouts beneath him are rearranged, I think his days are numbered at One Bills Drive."

    Best and Worst Drafts

    Best: 

    Colts Hooker was a steal

    49ers Foster and Thomas

    Browns 3 solid additions to that team

     

    Worst: 

    Bears Trading up 1 spot 

    (Why give Glennon 45m)

    Chiefs Trading up 17 for Mahomes 

     

    Browns also got a 2018 first round pick. Browns and 49ers easily had the best Day 1.

     

    Bucs and Jets got two of the best players. I love OJ Howard. Adams is a stud.

     

    Without a doubt, Bears had the worst.
