I love everything I read about him

Key excerpts from above URL: Indianapolis Colts linebackers coach Jeff FitzGerald led Powell through a workout that lasted for about an hour. Powell, who is being checked out as a linebacker by NFL teams, looked good in the drills and displayed exceptional ball skills.

Former QB and CB at high school, DL/DE at high school and college, now potentially a 3-4 OLB??? This guy is that diamond in the rough that Grigson likes to find

I'd rather have Collins too...   but we're not comparing apples to apples here...

 

Collins is a likely 2nd round pick....   Powell is more likely a 4th to 5th round pick....

Perhaps but at this point....and maybe it will change, who knows Collins has a top of the 4th round grade of 68.8 while Powell has a very close 68.0

Right....   on NFL.com.....

 

And at ESPN,  Collins has a 77, mid to upper 3rd round...    and Powell has a 65,  middle of the 4th....

 

Everyone sees and values the same thing differently....

 

By the way,  evaluations are far from over and draft boards are not set yet....

Looks like one of the Colts coaches is leading him through the entire workout. I think we'vegot a fair amount of interest in this kid. Some of the things he is doing in this workout appeal more to him being an ILB instead of an OLB. I never only saw one time where he did any drills rushing the passer. May mean something, may not I suppose.

I view him as a fit for the role that Moise Foku played. If they have a role for him at MLB I think he could come in and compete with Angerer and Conner.

I do think he is looked at more from the coverage point of view than pass rush.

 

However, if they did not have draft eligible OL, there probably wasn't much of a point trotting out one of his fellow Bisons' OL, just to see how he does well vs them in pass rush??? Not sure how things work with Pro Days, if an OL guy they would never be interested in would be asked to come out and show his skills just to see how well Powell can do pass rush???

      Colts Player comparisons by members on this forum

      By smittywerb · Posted

      I think it’s backwards.  MPJ is definitely Reggie based on skill set and tendencies.  AD can become Marvin with his explosiveness.   Raimann - I think he’ll be Castonzo.  Ol reliable, underappreciated, majority won’t realize how good he was until he’s gone.   AD - if he becomes what we think he can, Ocho Cinco.  Cocky, competitive, but will perform his butt off and will dance every chance he gets lol   Jelani Woods - Jimmy Graham, fast for his size, walking mismatch.

      speaking of which, I’m about to win some good money.  I bet that brown would be FMVP, the Celtics would win the series, and it last at least 4 games.

      Colts Select Laiatu Latu Edge UCLA

      By smittywerb · Posted

      more reason to believe that after the top 3 wide receivers, Latu was their guy.  To not accept an offer to move back ONLY 4 spots and gain a top 100 pick is hard to do.  Bet if the rams through in a second instead of a third we might’ve took it.   think about it, if you move back 4 spots you’d still have a shot at one of the two top corners or even Dallas turner.  And we said no thanks, we want Latu.

      This is interesting. The Rams tried to trade with the Jets for 11 too:   I wonder who they were targeting. Some are speculating Bowers at 11. Seattle reporters think they tried to jump the Seahawks for Byron Murphy.

      Simmer down. I don’t care what he said about Mitchell, although I do think he was a little dramatic and I don’t think an executive should curse in public like he does. You said CB has think skin and doesn’t care what people say. I disagree. CB has commented several times on what fans or the media have said. He even responded to Bowen by name because Bowen had criticized him about something. To me, that’s the opposite of thick skin. That’s rabbit ears. You can tell CB is getting prickly and sensitive, as well he should be given his less than mediocre results. That’s all I was saying — pretty innocuous stuff. You bringing up “the shadows” and owning things “here and now” and chess and checkers and that “I’m smarter than this” is so overboard…Just relax a bit, sir, not every post or exchange has to be a war.
