Hughes is super talented, but has tons of off the field issues. 

 

He has good size and athleticism, but again off the field stuff hurt his stock by 1 or 2 rounds.

 

The Colts traded up to get him. Don't know the details yet.

 

Thoughts?

Now, this is a GREAT pick. He's one of the guy's I wanted all along. Can't believe we got him in the 5th rd.. He is going to be a STEAL!!! He's huge 6'4" 329 lbs and plays with good speed for such a big guy. He'll play DE in our system and slide inside on passing downs. Awesome pick!

I agree with you.  Had he stayed at Tennessee, any SEC school, he would have been drafted higher.  Good value at the spot, and giving up a fourth next year doesn't scare me away.  The concern is obviously character, maturity, etc.  He couldn't keep it together at Tenn, so we hope that is all behind him.

im going to be honest 

 

on paper the draft looks pretty brutal 

why Bjeorn Werner gives us a pass rusher, but I guess we don't need to rush the passer, we got Hugh Thorton and Khaled Holmes, but I guess we don't need to protect Luck, and we got Montori Hughes, who you don't know about, so he automatically is a bad pick

      A Write Up On Raekwon Davis' Potential Impact

      By krunk · Posted

      I'm not saying he is about to be a sack machine but you can see some of his potential as a one gap penetrator with that frame.

      A Write Up On Raekwon Davis' Potential Impact

      By krunk · Posted

      Davis came from Alabama. My point of interest as the writer highlighted is he is moving from being a 2 gapper into now only being responsible for a single gap with a lot more penetration from him versus read and react. With his length and power at 6ft 7 300 plus the expectation for him in our scheme is he will be more disruptive. A much more reliable option for us if Grover goes down in addition to whatever else maybe we can do with him.

      Potential/Average/Concern

      Thank you. You guys are too kind, but I truly appreciate the support.    Perhaps I am being too hard on myself… But my point still stands that anyone who makes it to the NFL, whether practice squad or starter, has achieved something prestigious that only a rare few ever achieve.    Over a million high schoolers play. Of those only 7.8 percent move on to play in college.    Over 80,000 people play in college. Only 0.4 percent make it to opening day in the NFL.    Only 2,016 players make it to NFL rosters.

      A Write Up On Raekwon Davis' Potential Impact

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      Davis had a very good rookie season after being drafted in the 2nd round out of Ohio State (I believe).   Graded in the 70’s against both the run and pass.      But his last three years have been disappointing, as he’s graded in the mid-50’s.   The reason I’m so interested in this signing, is (A) I’m sure it was heavily influenced by the new DL coach, Partridge.   And (B) we’re paying him 2/14.  I don’t recall that kind of money ever being given to a basic backup before.   Don’t think Davis is here to push Stewart, the Colts just signed him to 3/39.  That tells me the Colts defensive staff sees him differently.   I don’t know what the plan the staff has come up with for Davis, but I’m looking forward to watching it play out.
