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???

    • Ballard does have thick skin.  You just choose to not to see it that way.      Ballard is the face and voice of the franchise.  Irsay’s health does not make him an effective public face of the franchise.  Frank was OK, Steichen less so.   So Ballard does the lion share of teams PR.    And Ballard has always said he’d rather the fans be angry than be apathetic.  Shows they care.  Of course, you know this but choose not to acknowledge it because it undercuts your distorted view of CB.   I don’t know what CBs relationship is with Kevin Bowen who I like.   So let’s say it’s complicated.   But on balance I think Ballard has a good relationship with the local media.  I’d be surprised if he didn’t.  He is loved by national media.  He’s got a personality and a sense of humor.  I’m sorry you don’t care for it.    Of course you have yet to acknowledge that you and Moose literally said that Ballard didn’t know enough about Mitchell to know if he was a good guy.   For a man in your profession, THAT is a whopper.  Why you thought that is a mystery?   By the way, hope you notice that at least twice I’ve now said you’re smarter than you show.  There’s a compliment in there somewhere if you let yourself see it.    But I think you’ve painted yourself into a corner.  You come across as someone who’d rather be right about Ballard being bad even if it means the Colts do poorly than be wrong and have the Colts do well.    The reason Irsay hasn’t fired Ballard for the teams record is because Irsay approved of what CB was doing in real time.   Believe what you want but Irsay has done the GM job himself so he knows how it goes.  And he has chosen to keep Ballard.  Unless you don’t like Irsay too, you might want to consider that.  Life is more fun being optimistic than negative.     Sorry this went so long.  
    • 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.  
    • 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.
