    Not at all a fan of the first 2 picks. Bredeson is a big reach at the 34th overall pick, and Epenesa doesn't exactly fit this 4-3 defense as well as a Javon Kinlaw or Derrick Brown would. 


    17:30-20:40 time frame in video... just stacking our depth like he mentions in the video. Houston’s only here for another year (Epenesa) Glow (Bredeson) Hilton (Jefferson) Mack (Akers) Doyle (Kmet) Rogers/Pascal (Dunvernay) etc...(Would love Brown...just don’t think he’ll be there)

    I do recall CB saying that about value of the DT, however, he has said this offseason that we absolutely have to get better at the DT spot to make this defense work better. I think he sees that he may have placed that spot a little undervalued for this defense and will take a swing at getting it better in order to really open up the defense. It may have also meant, he placed last years draft tackles at valued starting in the 3rd round based on the talent that was there. Idk. I do think he will take a look at the FA market for a DT (Jones??)  and work inside the draft from there. He is gonna buy a player somewhere this year, bank on it. 

    Completely agree. I think too many folks are looking at the QB side of things not to recognize the value of a solid DT or 3 that would take the burden/double teams etc off what I feel is the best LB group in the NFL (Leonard, Walker, Okereke). From a BPA standpoint... I do not see any QB aside from Burrow...that is going to list higher on our board than best DT, DE, OT (Castonzo decision) and WR... at 13 or 34... IMO. Cheers.

    The Castanzo decision will influence Colts board... Top OT if he retires would be preferred at 13 or 34...with the other selections rounding out the first two rounds being the top DT, DE or WR on our board. Aside from burrow, none of the QBs mentioned, from a BPA perspective, Have done anything to insert themselves in our top 4 Colt Picks. There are too many good/great prospects to choose from other than QB.  4th round... sure take a chance on a guy there. Was there a time line on the Castonzo decision?

    Not sure why you're trying to push back so hard....

     

    1.   Making 3-5 times more money(maybe more?)  for doing less work is typically all it takes to get someone to change their job or career.    That alone is typically enough for most people.

     

    But you can add to that....

     

    2.    Whether it's Southern California, or if it was New York,  it's one location and that beats the life of a scout who is typically away from home more than half the year staying in not great hotels and putting in 12-16 hour days in far away places.

     

    3.    He doesn't have to worry about having to uproot his family again because his team didn't ahve a good year.  Jeremiah was a scout for 3 different teams.   That's three moves for the family. In his TV job,  he's not going anywhere.

     

    4.    He's likely doing a fair amount of his work from the comfort of his own home.   He can view tape at his home.   And he has a staff of people that help with the show he works on.  

     

    5.    He gets to pick and choose when and where he goes on the road.   Doubtful he has someone giving him orders.   He's likely his own boss.   

     

    6.    Far less stress.    It's not do good or get fired.   To be clear,  he has to be good at his job,  but it's easier in ths setting than it is as a scout.    No one is looking over his shoulder and breathing down his neck.    Life is good for DJ.

     

    If you don't like him,  or like someone else more,  great.    Follow them.   But I'm not aware of any anti-DJ movement either from complaints coming from the NFL or from media observers.

     

    You have changed the narrative of my comment... and continue to create some sort of commentary that then feeds whatever position it is your trying to support...It is not pushing back to question media or making a comment Concerning their limited...second hand reporting. All other tangents you have listed above are of your own creation. Take care.

    He’s no longer a scout and now he makes 3-5 times more money (more?) while getting to live in Southern California.   He only travels when he wants.   And he gets to be with his family year round.

     

    THAT’S why he works for the NFL Network.    He’s good at his job. 

    Not sure how many good points you have listed there...1 (Southern California isn’t special...Money is just money...Family Time is key) but he will still get >90% of his mock draft wrong...(Even with all his contacts) like everyone else. You and me included.
