[Your Final Colts 1st Round Prediction]

Trade (up)

[30 for 30 on ESPN From Elway To Marino]

I watched the show.  It seems like most of the blame was placed on Irsay.  Good show though.

 

Rightfully so in my opinion.

 

BTW has there EVER been a more facially grotesque QB in the NFL than John Elway?!

[30 for 30 on ESPN From Elway To Marino]

Robert Irsay really was a walking Charlie-Foxtrot. And Accorsi wasn't too brite either.

 

The Colts could've had multiple 1st round picks AND Dan Marino. Possibly would've kept the franchise in Baltimore.

[Now 100% Sold on Larry Warford in the 1st]

I'd LOVE to trade back and select him.

[Mike Mayock First and last 2013 Mock Draft]

I appreciate Mayock more than any of them however....I would be OVERWHELMINGLY disappointed with a DJ Hayden selection at 24 (and not just because I get PTSD shakes whenever I consider a Colts DB named Hayden).

[bring back Dallas Clark?]

☼

 

If you would please, what is that supposed to be? -grin-

[bring back Dallas Clark?]

-_-

[How much does losing Bruce Arians hurt the Colts?]

None

[Which player do you think will be the biggest surprise?]

Has to get on the field first then take time from Franklin, Tevasue and even Mckinney (If he is healthy)

Day 1

[Which player do you think will be the biggest surprise?]

Josh Chapman (it all begins up front)

[Colts host Margus Hunt]

I'd love the addition.

"Change" it happens.

[Would you rather the Colts won a Super Bowl or the Broncos?]

Sounds like a silly question, I know.

 

So do I.

[Cordarrelle Patterson]

There's rumors that he might slip to the tail-end of the first round. He has great hands and is extremely athletic. He's lethal with the ball in his hands. He's physical with DBs and can fight for the ball in the air.

The only real knock against him is that he's raw and it's evident in his route-running. He tends to rely purely on his athleticism. He also sometimes catches passes with his body.

I think his ceiling is extremely high and he'd be a great #2 and eventual replacement for Reggie.

Thoughts?

I'd love to have him. Reggie can fix the issues regarding being raw. :-)

[How Grigson fooled us...]

The thing with Grigson is that he goes after high motor guys who play with a chip on their shoulder. See Ballard, Allen. By signing backups, but throwing a bone their way, creates loyalty but also shows that we stuck our neck out for them by giving them a contact that may have been more than anticipated. Pagano has been a coach that players want to play for. Add the fact that Grigson shows he has faith in them, and it creates a perfect storm.

Walden, francois, Thomas, were backups who are chomping at the bit to prove themselves. cherilus, and even DHB and Landry are guys that play with a fire and are said to have a mean streak.

Nothing is for sure until week 1, but it's fun to speculate.

 

That is a GREAT post.

[How Grigson fooled us...]

We were 3 seconds away from having McKenzie.

 

That would've been okay too. ;)

 

There is no reason to think McKenzie is anything other than an outstanding hire by the Raiders. And every move he has made thus far has been good.

[This offense is different...........and draft babble....]

WR, DE, CB........ In that order

ooooooooo the cornerbackites ain't gonna have any of that. You'll smoke a turd in hell for that one!

[We might be looking to trade up]

Cornerbackite fantasy

[Does anyone know if Fluker has potential to play guard if Cooper is gone at 24?]

Stuck on stupid

[Does anyone know if Fluker has potential to play guard if Cooper is gone at 24?]

The question was can he play Guard and the answer is a resounding yes. His pass blocking fell of last year but the kid is still a monster.

 

Going into the NFL, run blocking is Fluker's biggest strength. He is an absolute road grader who rides defensive linemen around the field and blasts open running lanes. The Crimson Tide had a ton of success running behind him every year, but especially in 2012. Fluker is a fiery leader who set the tone for his line. He plays with a mean streak and is very physical with defenders. When Fluker gets his hands on a defender in run blocking, that player is done.

It is obvious that Fluker has to improve his pass blocking. He needs to get better technique and faster in his drops. The junior has some quickness and athleticism, so it doesn't make sense for him to have such heavy feet. Fluker really struggles with speed-rushers coming around the corner or darting to the inside. That blocking technique is going to need a lot of work or he could be a weak link as a pass-protector.

If Fluker doesn't improve his pass protection, some NFL teams will probably want him to move to guard, especially if they feature pass-happy offenses. He could be an excellent guard in the NFL, so that reduces the risk associated with using a draft pick on him. It wouldn't be surprising if Fluker has a good performance at the NFL Scouting Combine to improve his draft stock and regain some first-round consideration. He currently looks like a lock for the second day and a likely second-round pick.

[Pre- draft positional breakdown and analysis]

I think barring injuries, we're in for another good season. I've steadily transitioned to believing LB is our 2nd highest need behind oline. m in agreement that Angerer probably isn't best suited to this defense...but we'll see. I wouldn't be disappointed if we went after more inside & outside LBs in this draft. ;)

[Pre- draft positional breakdown and analysis]

Good stuff

[Most underated prospect and most overated prospect]

Most overrated: Any CB

[Luck & Jones = Manning & Saturday]

...then why do the scouts wjo do this for a living have him late 2nd - 3rd round? makes u wonder?

Where'd they have Robert Mathis?
