Why in the Wide World of Sports would Dee Milliner be Visiting Indy?

[Smonroe]

For the weather?

No way he falls to 24. What could we trade to move up? Next years #1?

[NewColtsFan]

Smoke screen??

 

But to what purpose, I have no idea.....

 

The draft can be an absolute mystery.....

[Colts_Fan12]

I agree with NCF who knows when it's draft time lol

[Gavin]

Just doing there do dilligence on the extremely off chance he is there for us Im sure, its the draft strange things happen, leave no stone uncovered

[Smonroe]

It's supposedly "an official visit". Maybe he wanted to stop by to see Chapman. Or Te'o.

There's no way he falls to 24 unless he confesses to kidnapping the Lindbergh baby. Even then, he may fall to 10.

It would take a trade. So that suggests the Colts are willing to think about moving up.

[HtownColt]

Because they felt like it, probably just to measure the #1 corners knowledge compared with the other cornerbacks they've met with

[Dustin]

Just due diligence.

yep very good way to put it.

[Qwiz]

Just in case. You can never be too prepared.

[21isSuperman]

Exactly.  You want to be fully prepared for whatever situation arises.

[CR91]

draft is a mystery. could mean the colts might trade up. could mean absolutely nothing

[schwamm]

I'm going strictly from memory, but it seems like the team brought in players who had no chance of making it to the Colt's draft position many times in the past. If memory serves, I think Stafford, Bradford and Sanchez all made visits in their day.

Perhaps this is done to get to know your opponent as much as anything else?

Could be. I know that GMs have talked about guys they really liked during the draft and didn't get. Then when their contract came up they went after them as a FA because they loved the kids attitude during their interview as well as their play.

Certainly doesn't hurt to build a relationship now, even if he's not available.

[GOCOLTS_ROLLTIDE]

If this happened if be happier than Paul revier with a cell phone. Look at Atlanta that turned out pretty well.. You can never go wrong trading up for the tide.. Whether it be milliner or warmack

I guarantee you they are not visiting with him here on the chance he is still on the board at 24. Less than zero chance of that happening.

[Mameluc]

maybe to have his scouting report if whatever team wans to trade him late on his first contrac(a la vonta davis or DRC) or if he doesnt have a new contract by the time his rookie deal expires.

[Jason_]

Well, Luck had visits with other teams last year even though everyone on the planet knew the Colts were taking him.  No reason not to bring him in because stranger things have happened and this is their one chance to get an up close and personal look at him.  Like others have said...due diligence.

[coltsfanatic24]

This means were probably going to draft a CB in the 1st round. Just bringing him in to see what his value is to see where Rhodes or Trufant might fall.

[chad72]

Just to see how his skills compare to a CB that is in our zipcode/neighborhood of pick #24. The other possibility is that if his skills are that much better than a CB we might think of drafting at #24, if he drops to 10 or 12, a trade up might be worth it in their minds (though I think it is the first reason).

 

If Trufant tests out just as good, they will feel good about picking him at #24.

[Gavin]

To me I see holes in both of Rhodes and Milliners game

 

Milliner

1.Footwork is suspect

2.Dives at feet to make to many tackles (A serious pet peeve of mine do to our previous regime)

 

Rhodes

1.Dives at feet to make some tackles 

2.Tight hipped when flipping his hips

3.Physical beyond 5 yards of scrimmage

[TKnight24]

I don't see him making it out of the top 10. Everyone knows all the Alabama prospects go in the top 15. So Rhodes & Trufant may fall to us at 24

[Imped]

 Less than zero chance of that happening.

That's pretty slim. 

[evilleseniorfan]

Most likely, another GM/scouting staff asked us to hold the tryout, so their staff could be there unobserved, and not tip their hand as to who they're possibly interested in. My guess, Eagles. Rest assured, the candidate knows what's going on too.

[Tark The Shark]

Could be a lot of reasons, Grigson does like doing his homework.

[Mitch]

I feel like primary reason is to compare to the other cornerbacks in the draft.

[FearTheNeckBeard]

he'll sign for us in 3 or 4 years.. recruiting starts today...

[GoColts8818]

Colts doing their homework nothing too exciting.  This is the time of year to take a look at anyone you might be interested in the draft.  You never know how it will shake out and even if you think a guy will be gone before your pick if you like him you take a look at him to see if you become interested in maybe going up to get him or if he slides at all.  I wouldn't read much into it other than it's just Grigson crossing all his T's and dotting all his I's.

[dgambill]

Because he plays a position of need. We want to see his measurables. Just because we may not draft him doesn't mean we may not pick him up in 4 years in FA. Also he plays for Alabama a team rich in talent and we may want to get information about one or two players we may be targeting. Who knows...he won't fall past the top 10 but if he does...perhaps Grigs would think about making a trade for him....there are many many variables but there is no harm in talking.
