Colts draft Jack Mewhort, OL, OSU [Merge]

[Deathiltis]

You guys need to calm the heck down.

[BlueCollarColts]

We need a new gm idc what hes done this is unexceptable with all these players there

Hasn't played a down... AWFUL PICK... lol gotta love it!

[backshoulderfade]

Not a fan.

[Deathiltis]

We need a new gm idc what hes done this is unexceptable with all these players there

Really? Come on

[mintor]

Just like I said, I knew it wouldn't be a C

 

 

guy play g / c dude.

[Andy]

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

[colts52761]

isn't he too tall to play center?

[John Waylon]

I think Nix is overrated but he's better than this. 

 

Grigson has made us wait 24 full hours. And then he delivers us a turd.

[TheBlueAndWhite]

The rest of the AFC south is getting armed!... And we freaking pick jack newhort whoever the heck he is..I'm sure we could a at least traded back!!!!

[oldunclemark]

Who? You know, the all american lineman? 

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

[Bluefire4]

We shoulda took Brooks!

Obviously they'd rather have a versatile O lineman than reach for a safety.

[BProland85]

If we were going OL, I would have much preferred C/OG Marcus Martin. We don't really need a OT right now, and Martin to me is a better OG than Mewhort.

 

And I can't see Mewhort being a C. He is 6-6. I've never seen a C that tall.

[Superman]

Mewhort is a good player. Not who I would have picked, though.

[Nobody]

He would be there at 90.

Ready for all the blind Grigson followers to accuse me of being a bad fan for not supporting it. I stand by my statement it's not a smart pick.

[John Dee]

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..........

 

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.

[GoColts8818]

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.

[colts52761]

would have taken richardson or jackson if we we're going guard

[Colts_Fan12]

If Grigs is taking a T to convert to C I'm gonna lose alot of hope in his O line decision making. There will be a ton of UDFA Cs who could be great tons of good Cs are UDFAs.

[mintor]

Something has to be wrong with Nix

 nix has bad knee's  , try and google see it.

[Nobody]

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

You're an Ohio fan, right?

[lennymoore24]

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.

[Smonroe]

isn't he too tall to play center?

He played C in high school. He can play all the O line positions.

And he's a Buckeye.

Lovin it!

[Flash7]

C'mon guys. We cried about our interior O-line all season long. Now we've just drafted a guy that can possibly play all 5 positions, and we drafted him specifically as a guard--a position of need.

[GoColts8818]

You guys need to calm the heck down.

honestly excluding Luck I couldn't tell you the last first draft pick the Colts took that the forum did like.

[John Dee]

He will eventually be the C, maybe tomorrow. 

 

Just like I said, I knew it wouldn't be a C

[CR91]

heres some videos

 

 

 

 

[lennymoore24]

You're an Ohio fan, right?

 

Did Street and Smith say that is a reach?

[TheBlueAndWhite]

This team will do anything not to draft playmakers it seems like!

[Drewbacca]

Damn...Colts trying to protect Luck and it gets flamed lol y'all are ridiculous.

[GoColts8818]

He played C in high school. He can play all the O line positions.

And he's a Buckeye.

Lovin it!

read on twitter Colts have him pegged as a center

[lennymoore24]

He's not going to be a center. Holmes is.

[Colts_Fan12]

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.

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

[mad dog curtis]

great  pick seen this guy played has a nasty streak

[Legend of Luck]

You people need to quit panicking, THE TEXANS HAVE JADAVEON CLOWNEY AND JJ WATT. WE NEED TO IMPROVE THE O LINE NOWWWWW!

[Malakai432]

A versatile OL is what I hear, don't mind it... Yet I'm more concerned about the Pacers game now......

[Dustin]

I mean, he's a good player, but... man, Brooks was there.

[C0LT5]

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. 

[lennymoore24]

Again, can some of you please start actually watching football games?  As long as our interior line is that weak, it hurts our running and our passing.  Adding a guy like this will help Richardson, help Luck, help the whole offense.

[#BringBobBack]

I always love a few of the prospects out of OSU wanted Brooks really bad but I like the pick hope we go safety in the 3rd somehow trade up and get Brooks as well?

[zibby43]

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.
