Looking back, I really wish we would of drafted DeAndre Hopkins. But this will do.

yeah although I think their pretty comparable if Rogers stays out of trouble. Hopkins has a little better speed, Rogers has more height and catch radius. I think Rogers had better college numbers too. Not sure about that. Hopkins would be nice though.

I read his draft profile and all of his weaknesses seem to stem from laziness (doesn't always put full effort and doesn't extend broken down plays). I hope our CS coached into doing just that and talked some sense into him that he could make great money if he stayed out of trouble. If I was Da'rick, I feel like money would be the only way. 

 

Anyway, he has great hands and as a prospect I read somewhere before that he's a poor mans Dez Bryant. 

 

Rogers is a physical specimen with strong hands who overpowered defenders in his routes and after the catch on his way to second-team All-SEC status in 2011 (67 catches, 1,040 yards, nine TDs), and to a dominating season (78 catches for 1,207 yards and 11 TDs) while at Tennessee Tech. His immaturity off the field caused him to be dismissed from Tennessee before the 2012 season, and thus the biggest questions with Rogers will be about character concerns. While he's not a quick-twitch, vertical threat, Rogers is a big, physical receiver who works well across the middle, and has a tremendous deal of talent.

Someone's gotta fall for this. Griff Whalen? According to Rotoworld:

 

Colts promoted WR Da'Rick Rogers from the practice squad.

 
It's the second time this season Rogers has gotten the promotion to the active 53. He wasn't active for the one game he was on the roster for in September. No. 4 receiver Griff Whalen took a big hit in Sunday's loss to the Rams, so Rogers may be coming up as insurance. Rogers was a monster in college and has impressive measurables but was a big-time knucklehead. He likely won't see much, if any, playing time in 2013. Rogers remains a dynasty hold.
 
On another note, can someone explain why a guy who is supposedly so good keeps getting cut? I don't get it. How do we expect him to perform this season?

I'm curious, as I know nothing about Da'Rick Rogers other than what is already on the surface (i.e. great numbers in college, drug suspension, strong Compbine), why did this guy go undrafted?

 

After all the trouble Tyrann Mathieu went through (which is a lot more than I know of from Rogers), he was STILL taken in the third round.

 

No one took a flier in the 6th or 7th round?

    • I wasn’t being serious.  That’s why I included the smiley face at the end.
    • Ballard has been saying it for years that the trenches are where it’s at. Doesn’t matter what era of football has been around, you control the line of scrimmage and you control the game. He has accomplished it on the O side of the ball but has tried for years to get a DL that can do the same. I think we will see it come together this year and into the next two. 
    • Harrison, Cross, Blackmon and Thomas is not a terrible group. Someone obviously needs to step up and play beside Blackmon at his level. I think there is enough ability with those four to roll with them into training camp and see what happens. 
    • Pass rush.     That is the key.  Control the line.  Make him make plays.  Make him uncomfortable.  Hey, if he Stroud beats us with his talent and we’re making him complete these great plays, then chalk it up to the game.  But we can’t allow him (and any other qb) to be comfortable and pick us apart.     I hope we see our front 4 provide that pressure because that will make everything else much easier.  I honestly believe we have the corners for our scheme in Moore, Brents, and jones.  But we don’t have the pressure.  Or the FS unfortunately.  Our corners jobs in this scheme isn’t to run step for step with wide receivers.  It’s to stick with them and prevent YAC.  Moore is the best nickel in the game, Jones was one of the best corners PERIOD in preventing YAC, and I think a healthy Brents will be good too.
    • Agreed.  After this last off season, I kind of give Ballard a pass on taking long to find a certified DE (if Latu pans out).  Like QBs, they don’t grow on trees.  You either have to draft one high, get lucky with one in the draft, or sign one in FA for loads of cash.  All I can ask for him as GM to do is try.  He hasn’t been perfect by any means but at least he’s tried with the DE position specifically.   i also think Shane being here has changed his thinking.  Before, Ballard might’ve went with Turner due to the higher upside.  But maybe Shane differs and wants proven players.     Either way, I’m glad we possibly have our stud at a premium position for the next 5 years at a cheap rate.     And gotta thank the Falcons for us landing Latu.  Lol
