Summary of my scouting report on him:

 

Mewhort has good size for an offensive tackle and has very good foot work, as well as the strength to go up against anyone. His hand placement isn't always good, but he doesn't have any major faults. Projection: 2nd Round -- 3rd Round

Exactly...

 

Picks like this NEVER make fans happy.    Fans want the sexy picks...  When in reality,  If a team has no O line or D line you wont win.

 

Oh and keeping Andrew Luck "untouched" and not running for his life would be MY priority if I were Indy's GM.

 

Great job here Grigs.......... :td:

 

saw on twitter Colts had him pegged as a center. He played tackle in college and most teams liked him as a guard he's versatile if nothing else.

Grigson....why.

look at the pounding Luck took last year and the fact the Colts did nothing in free agency to upgrade the oline since the one guy they signed retired and I don't get the outrage people have with us going oline early. I know online isn't exciting but if we don't protect Luck all the exciting players we do have won't do us much good.

Its not the position it's the player. Huge reach.

You're an Ohio fan, right?

Great pick!  Strong guy.  Strong as an ox. Can play likely every position on the line.  Should be our future LG.  Great pick. This is the area we need the most help.  

 

Please don't say that because Mel Kiper didn't have him rated his highly, he was a bad pick.

He picked the WRONG O line tho. Jackson was on the board so was Richardson

I've heard "Grigson better fix the O-line before Luck gets killed" and now he does and we possibly have four starting caliber guards for when one or two gets hurt and you all hate the pick. Some want Grigson fired because Mewhort is a bust already and he hasn't even been a Colt for 10 minutes. Ridicuous isn't it? I like the pick, was hoping for Oline in the 3rd, but got it earlier which is better for me. I don't want Luck killed and know we're doomed with injuries.

 

Also, Nix is probably available for a reason.

You know the guy we passed on?

 

The ND all-American?  We passed on Nix..which was a significant need..D-line

 

we'll see

 

I follow ND closely.  Nix isn't quite right.  His injury was more severe than most people think. 

 

It's telling that the Pats also passed on him.  He would've been a perfect fit for them as well.

    • If hes not waking up and sleeping doing something to get better. He better be throwing touchdowns in his sleep.
    • Why does Steichen play calling remind me so much of Frank Reich? 3 runs up the middle, then call a screen on 3rd and 17. He's had some really bad series play calling wise these last few games.  Speaking of, how is this team still so bad at running/defending screens still??    Franklin needs to be benched. That dude is doing his best Shaq Leonard impression and and he flat out sucks.    It would be nice to see a TE pass once a game for crying out loud.    That was a game of who's QB is less crappy. (not sure ours was better tbh) but that was brutal to watch.    AR has got to figure out his footwork. These sailing balls are out of control and happen way too often. Then when he tried to put touch on the pass, it's underthrown. They have got to devote more time to his mechanics.    I would've liked to see better blocking for JT. JT made some stuff happen, but he got stuffed quite often too. There are other runs beside up the middle there Steichen.    AR playing out of shotgun is getting old.    If Latu stays healthy, we got the steal of the draft.    I will say that if your O-line features Matt Pryor at guard, you're gonna have problems. 
    • Can't keep having your safety be leading tackler. We will also lose Cross to injury if the rest of the team can't learn how to tackle.    Especially Franklin    
    • I still think the inaccuracies and the sailing of his throws is masking the progress he's made as a QB. I think decision-making-wise and when it comes to reading the defense, he's on a very good trajectory. He looks like a QB who knows what he's doing, who knows where he needs to go with the ball. He probably needs to work on his timing with the receivers a bit and he needs to be a bit quicker with his decisions at times, but overall those are things a young QB will naturally get better at with time and experience.   Just take a moment and think about it - it feels like almost every single one of his worst looking throws are throws where he went through his progression, read the defense and made the right decision. Just the throws themselves were off. Some of them WAY OFF.    Now don't get me wrong, at some point he will need to start hitting those throws because at the end of the day what's the point of reading the defense and making the right decision if you sail the ball 5 yards over the receiver's head? If he doesn't get better at that, he will bust, because no team will have the patience for a vet QB who can't hit those type of throws with any consistency. I really hope the coaching staff is working with him on it and we see some progress by the end of the season.
