2014 Players To Watch


Recommended Posts

Stephen Tuitt, DE, Notre Dame

6’6″ and 305 pounds.

Had 47 tackles, 12 sacks from his 3-4 DE position

I really like this guy if he comes out next year as a junior

Geez, I'm seriously gonna scout the crap out of this guy. Not only is Redding 33, but D-line depth is vital in our new system, as well as the most important position on the field.

Anthony Bar, OLB, UCLA is my dream pick, but he'll likely be gone when we pick.

Would be perfect in our 3-4 and take over from Mathis when he's gone.

 

Stephen Tuitt DE, Bradley Roby CB, Loucheiz Purifoy CB, Marqise Lee, Sammy Watkins, Kyle Van Noy OLB.

I am looking at 2 potential cap casualties or players we wont be able to/want to re-sign - Antoine Bethea and Donald Brown.

 

Damien Williams, RB, Oklahoma, hopefully he is a late first round pick, I would love to have him :)

 

C.J.Barnett, FS, Ohio State, hopefully he becomes a productive player like other Buckeyes Malcolm Jenkins, Nate Clements, Donte Whitner etc.

 

The latter one, we have a very good chance late in round1, I feel.

 

Morgan Breslin, OLB, USC is interesting as well, he might be available late round 1 like his predecessor Nick Perry that went to the Packers.

Oh no, the RB in the first talk has already begun.

I expect Marqise Lee to drop a bit (from his current top 10 ranking) because of poor quarterback play (Barkley is gone).

 

So I'm keeping an eye out on him, Watkins and that kid from Rutgers. The Colts should go receiver very early next year. Of course, it's too early to really tell.

Dude would have to get severely injured to fall out of the top 7.

Sammy Watkins, WR, Clemson. Assuming he goes back to his 2011 form.

 

I really like Marquis Lee though, but there's no way he falls to the mid 20 range unless he has a really bad year.

who knows i mean 2 years ago Robert woods was supposed to be locked in the top 10

    • Yes, it was much easier to read when you typed the words you were thinking lol
    • Again, I’m not saying a good D isn’t needed…well, maybe I am….  But what I’m really saying is that with a great Offensive you can win with an average Defense.   And, as to your point, I think all the teams that lost in those games you mentioned all had very good defenses.      
    • Personally I think Thomas got pressed into playing before his time. He did a few things we didn't expect initially considering his draft position. I think ideally they wanted to take their time and train him up sorta like EJ Speed then get him out there.  I'm interested to see how he regroups to be honest.
    • How bout this? Draft better and u build a play off caliber team. Ain't rocket science. 
    • Look im not gonna say Ballard haven't had his own issues, but the guy has been put in an impossible position particularly every year.   2017 - He has a lame duck for a head coach when we all knew was gonna get fired and was drafting for his scheme so I'll give him a pass.   2018 - Arguably his best draft getting two All-pros and a stalwart at RT. He gets to sign his choice of a head coach and is left at the alter at the 11th hour which in hindsight was a blessing in disguise. Drafted Tyquan Lewis, Hines, and Franklin who all have or had great years here. Andrew Luck was back and playing like an MVP.   2019 - Horrible draft. No excuses. It was his worst draft as a GM, but he did find a gem in Speed. Luck retiring a week before the season starts would put any GM in a tough spot so once again I'll give him a pass.   2020 - His second best draft getting Pittman, Taylor, and Blackmon. Signed Rivers and traded for Buckner and won 11 games. Unfortunately lost to the Bills in the playoffs.   2021 - I honestly can't tell for certain what happened in terms of QB. Ive heard Rivers was supposed to re-sign, but choice to retire. I've heard he was pushed to retirement as the colts wanted to go in a different direction which was apparently Stafford before the Rams came in last second. I heard Reich pushed hard for Wentz saying he can fix him against the wishes of Ballard. If you ask me, I think Stafford was plan A as Stafford himself said him and his wife were so convinced he was going to Indy that they started looking at homes. When that fell through, imo Reich lobbied for Wentz. Whatever it was, Wentz was the guy and the QB carousal was supposedly stopped at least we thought. A god-like season for Taylor was not enough to save Wentz from ultimately being traded and you can chalk that one on whomever Reich or Ballard depending on what story you want to believe. In terms of the draft, Paye and Dayo have been reliable players on the dline, Granson you can make an argument is our best TE, and Fries came into his own last year.   2022 - Just an overall disaster of a season. Went the bandage route again at QB trading for Matt Ryan and you can say the colts did him no favors in terms of oline protection and JT getting hurt, but that was a failed trade for a miserable season. 2022 draft is still under elevation, but Pierce and Woods did show potential as rookies and Raimann looks to be the LT of the future.   2023 - Ballard finally gets to draft a QB to tether him to and Richardson plays a grand total of 12 quarters. It just seems like Ballard can not catch a break when it comes to QBs, but from I've seen from Richardson, I have very high expectations.
