  1. I haven't seen it mentioned, but I think there's a chance this has nothing to do with a lingering injury or contract extension this year. JT is a traditional RB that needs an old school system to maximize his impact and therefore his value to a prospective franchise. I think there's a chance his current "holdout" is an effort to be traded to a run heavy team because he knows he doesn't fit into the Steichen system. To get as many snaps as he has to this point, he will need to prove himself capable as a runner, pass-catcher, and blocker. I can see JT believing that this confrontation with the front office is less costly than playing his last year before an extension with the expectation that he fills all of those roles effectively.

    A lot of the defensive talent flying off the board, making for slim pickings in the 2nd if you need D...

     

    Holding out hope for one of Josh Jackson, Mo Hurst, or Taven Bryan being available early 2nd.

    No,.,.this guy dominates.....and we have him for 5 years...low cost

     

    It's the #6 overall pick for a guard. That's an extremely high cost. 

     

    This fanbase has lost all perspective.

    IF the Giants stay at number two and are keeping Eli they might very well take Barkley at number two or if the Browns go you know what Rosen doesn’t want to play here we can take Barkley number one and still get a QB at number four the Colts might not get a chance to draft him.

     

    If either the Giants or Browns decide to draft anyone other than a QB, the value of the Colts pick skyrockets. We would then have line of sight to one of the top 2 QB's on the board and someone would almost surely throw together a king's ransom at #3 to trade up.

     

    Both Cleveland and NY know that. They would be dumb to pass on their guy at #1-2.

    Ha, it's ironic. Rivers had 30 reps of bench press at the combine vs. 15 for Basham.

     

    Basham's arms are almost 2" longer than Rivers too. Don't underestimate how much of a factor that is in the bench press.

     

    Plus, that longer arm length is going to be a much bigger aid to Basham in rushing the passer than a few extra reps would have been on the bench.
