Colts draft Jack Mewhort, OL, OSU [Merge]

[21isSuperman]

Let's count the teams that didn't draft Nix...

Are they all wrong too? Must be nice to be the only smart one.

 

 

Tell me Nix isn't better than Mewhort.

 

I dare you.

 

Even if you believe that in your heart of hearts, it's wrong. 

There's gotta be some medical thing going on with Nix.  I saw some mocks where he was a top-20 pick.  I think a medical issue is what's bringing him down

[lennymoore24]

If we draft Nix, who do we cut?

[zibby43]

I have to give you that....has to be a reason with Vince W. in his latter days and coming off hurts that they didn't take Nix

 

I'll sit back..cant judge O-linemen until they play..and again..O-line is Grigsons specialty

 

That's all we can do my friend.  Sit back, watch, and hope for the best!  Watching more of Mewhort's film, I'm impressed with his tenacity.  We need more of that on the offensive line.

Again, most generic argument ever. 

 

"Everyone else didn't take him so there must be something wrong with him"

 

Ok, and no one busted the door down to draft Mewhort.

 

Now what's your point?

I don't see any evidence that it is grigson's specialty

[Kyle]

I disagree. 

 

Fireworks are fun to watch. 

right, but these posts and stupid comments are more like the firework that malfunction and are duds.

[Le Neon]

A talented versatile player with great length and strength at a position of need. Sounds like a win to me.

[Superman]

.... Award winner for the most generic argument ever.

 

What's the award for a unique deflection?

[coltsfanatic24]

I don't like the pick at all. Khalil Mack and the entire Buffalo d-line dominated Mewhort when they played. He's a RT not a C, most scouts had him going in the late 4th early 5th. He's great against the run but average against the pass.

 

 Terrence Brooks, Louis Nix, and Gabe Jackson were on the board. All were rated higher and would have been better options. Grigson reached about 2 rounds on this guy, RT is the last position we needed. We need better scouts because their giving the coaching staff wrong information.

[Smonroe]

They just talked about Nix on the NFL channel. Injuries mainly. We have enough of those kind of guys.

[Bluefire4]

Really starting to dislike responses that they hate the pick because they don't know him. I guess the front office should steal our mock drafts..

[throwing BBZ]

I love this pick.  We need to build a solid O line.  This is a good start.  Marvin said guard, although he played OT at Ohio State, so probably he will start at guard.  

 

 Mewhort played Guard his 1st 2 years I believe.

Grigs went with Versatility. Now we have more than Nixon to develope as a RT/G and in a pinch, after Reitz gets hurt, someone who can play LT. Jackson couldn`t do that. 

 I was thinking a G/C but they know more and are in charge of Long Term Planning. Best of luck to you Jack and welcome.

[bestQBever]

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

unexceptable.... really.

[John Waylon]

His flexibility is nice. A huge plus. But our first pick, and a second round pick for a guy we want to come in where we need a body?

 

Eh. We could have found that later. And I firmly believe Mewhort would have been around at 90.

[Buck Showalter]

I like the Mewhort pick  & there are gonna be quality talent picks at 90, theres talent sliding down right now...

[Superman]

 

I don't like the pick at all. Khalil Mack and the entire Buffalo d-line dominated Mewhort when they played. He's a RT not a C, most scouts had him going in the late 4th early 5th. He's great against the run but average against the pass.

Umm, Mewhort shut Mack down on the few plays they matched up.

unexceptable.... really.

 

Well f we took Gabe jckson or say terrance brooks ima happy camper we took a 4th rpund projection in 2nd round

[BOTT]

Would have like to hear what Polian had to say about mewhort

[Buck Showalter]

He was the leader of an o-line that allowed Carlos Hyde to only get stopped for negative yards TWICE!!! In the entire season!!! Love it. Go grigson.

oh stop it there, you may make too much sense... 

 

let the people be upset over Grigs pick just because the pick wasn't on their radar...

[HtownColt]

Go to draftbreakdown.com and watch Mewhort's tape before you talk about how terrible he is.

Again, not my idea of a great pick for us, but the player will be fine. Absolutely fine.

That's what I'm saying

[John Waylon]

Would have like to hear what Polian had to say about mewhort

 

He's a decent linemen.

 

Therefore....

 

Polian would have hated him.

[Le Neon]

Unagzeptable! *bjoernwerneraccent*

unexceptable.... really.

[BlueShoe]

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

Mayock said he believes Mewhort is best suited to play center. He can play all 5 positions. Shows what you don't know.

[21isSuperman]

Would have like to hear what Polian had to say about mewhort

Polian has come out and said offensive line was his worst position to evaluate.  I would only want to hear what Polian says as a trivial point for this pick

[21isSuperman]

Mayock said he believes Mewhort is best suited to play center. He can play all 5 positions. Shows what you don't know.

I thought he said guard.  Am I making a mistake?

[Bluefire4]

Everything I see says he is late 2nd early third. And grigs doesn't have to listen to who everybody else likes. They're not always right.

[Smonroe]

Again, most generic argument ever. 

 

"Everyone else didn't take him so there must be something wrong with him"

 

Ok, and no one busted the door down to draft Mewhort.

 

Now what's your point?

How can both of my arguments be the most generic?

If you can't understand my point, that Nix obviously wasn't a better choice since no one has taken him yet, I'm going to have to just wish you well and move on.

Hope that wasn't too generic for you.

[BlueCollarColts]

grigson that was one of the worst moves ...he coudve went with safety or corner..but he got jack mewhort which i never herd of while he coulve got David yankey

He was an all-American so if you pay attention to college football you should know who he is

[Cynjin]

Umm, Mewhort shut Mack down on the few plays they matched up.

 

http://draftbreakdown.com/video/jack-mewhort-vs-buffalo-2013/

 

Sorry, but absolutely no positive talk about Mewhort is allowed.  Only negative comments about Grigson and Mewhort are acceptable by these armchair GMs.

[Bluefire4]

I thought he said guard. Am I making a mistake?

I haven't heard center anywhere. Guard and tackle.

[John Dee]

"better" in WHO"s mind?    Grigs or U?

 

They get paid to do this, we watch Mel Kiper and get PO'd when our GM passes on the  "top rated" player ???

 

I don't care WHO got...  as long as it was a C or G with a pulse....       and being a Buckeye is a plus.. 

 

Rock On INDY/...

Ok, I'll bite.

 

So then why didn't we take a better O-linemen with this pick, and this guy at 90, where he likely would have still been available?

 

Grigson out-thought himself here.

[coltsfanatic24]

Wasn't even close, about 60 players rated better then him. I watched a lot of Ohio State games this guy is a 4th round prospect at best. I have no idea why we chose this guy over Terrence Brooks, Louis Nix, Gabe Jackson, David Yankey, or Pierre Desir. After this pick i think it confirms that Grigson isn't good at evaluating o-linemen.

 

Well, I thought we would go O-line with our first pick...But, was he the BPA ???

[Superman]

His flexibility is nice. A huge plus. But our first pick, and a second round pick for a guy we want to come in where we need a body?

 

Eh. We could have found that later. And I firmly believe Mewhort would have been around at 90.

 

Definitely other players like Mewhort, even if he wasn't there at 90. That's why I wouldn't have drafted a lineman at 59 period.

[peytonmanning18]

Too many people have spent too much time in fantasy football drafts.  So obviously drafting an offensive lineman is stupid and pointless and clearly because you haven't heard of him it was a wasted pick.  Give me a break.  We need to protect Luck and to do that we need to be able to run the ball, this pick is exactly what we needed.  You can't fill all your needs with one second round pick.  We filled one glaring need.  We still need a safety but absolute priority #1 is taking care of Luck.

[John Waylon]

How can both of my arguments be the most generic?

If you can't understand my point, that Nix obviously wasn't a better choice since no one has taken him yet, I'm going to have to just wish you well and move on.

Hope that wasn't too generic for you.

 

So, let me see if I'm getting this. Because every other team didn't pick Nix, and we picked Mewhort that means he's obviously the better player? Despite the fact that every other team passed on him as well?

[chad72]

Pagano and Grigson always want those "play to the whistle" type of guys. Jack Mewhort fits right in, I can see why they did that.

 

The difference between longevity in the NFL and being short lived in the NFL for talented players is effort that continues across years. From all that I am reading, he is that type of guy, truly blue collar type.

 

With a line in flux, they wanted a guy that could play multiple positions, and with doubts about Donald Thomas' health, I can see why they drafted him and they probably felt he won't be around for pick No.90.

[Dark Superman]

I wanted Pierre Desir.

[CardiacColts]

Guy looks tough. As others have stated, he has long arms and a much needed mean streak on the interior of our line. He was the best lineman 2 years in a row on an O line that steamrolled everyone they played. He's versatile and may even be starting at left guard if Thomas isn't up to speed. A torn quad is a grousome injury. I'm hopeful but not expecting anything. Mewhort should be great depth that was much needed at the very least. I like the size and strength he brings to the table. Let's hope he can contribute right away. Go Colts!

[bestQBever]

he doesn't look that impressive so far from what I've watched. Oh well.

[BlueShoe]

I thought he said guard. Am I making a mistake?

I thought he said center. Can't rewind cause I am sitting here watching the Draft on my phone. Power is out in Eville due to storms tonight.
