Colts draft Jonathan Newsome, DE/OLB, Ball State [Merge]

[chad72]

Our 5th round pick is Jonathan Newsome, DE/OLB, Ball State

 

Oh no, we suck again ,  Grigson sucks  (j/k).

[NewColtsFan]

...  he played DE at Ball State...

 

But at 6' 2 1/3 and just under 250, he's an OLB for the Colts.

 

Someone here, and I'm sorry, I don't remember who it was,  called his name about 3 weeks ago.

 

Said he'd be a great late round pick for the Colts.    Well,  Ryan Grigson apparently agrees with you!

[Nobody]

I guess no ones gonna make the thread? Here we go.

[UKColt13]

Never heard of him.

Anyone know anything about him?

[COLTS449]

I'm really concerned about our safety situation. Maybe Dowling, Dixon, or Ladler will be there in the 6th.

[Colts_Fan12]

Got to trade back into the 5th and get a S

[zibby43]

Never heard of him.

Anyone know anything about him?

 

Played at Ohio State before going to BSU. 

[ScissorMeTimbers]

I want Craig Lost on!

[HtownColt]

Ima be honest I heard about him and read about him but I never looked him up seriously so ima go do that now. I know he transferred from Ohio State

[Nobody]

Really surprised we didn't take a safety.. Some good ones left. Florida CBs can play FS too. But I wanted a pass rusher too so I'm happy I suppose. Don't know the kid.

This guy and his buddy were caught shoplifting "male enhancement" pills

[kjyb]

OMFG WHAT IS GRIGSON DOING 

[IinD]

Maybe some of the locals can fill us in. Anyone outside IN wont have a clue on this guy.

Big Joe from the Grady and Big Joe Show on 1070 AM is a former Buckeye OL, he is going to LOVE this draft. SMonroe too, that poster is a former Buckeye too.

[bestQBever]

i like it. Well... I don't dislike it so i guess i like it.

[chad72]

I'm thinking UDFA safeties, just like Delano Howell is how it is going to end up for our safety situation.

[GoColts8818]

Wahoo happy to see us add a Ball State Cardinal. Also I think pass rusher was a forgotten need because Mathis was so good we had a pass rush in him but not much behind him.

TBH, I think the guys drafted today are destined for the PS. Who is he going to beat out?

[Captain Americolt]

Aww man..... I wanted Exum.

[DougDew]

Pass rusher/OLB. Long arms. Its an OK pick, but wouldn't he have been there later?

Ladler, Dixon, or Exum may last until our 6th.

[UKCOLT17]

we had a few in for private workouts

[Dark Superman]

Was arrested in August '12 for marijuana possession and was also held on a warrant for a conversion charge from an incident in which he and a teammate allegedly tried to shoplift male enhancement pills.

Good eye Grigson.

[Colts_Fan12]

Maybe we can get bailey dowling or ladler for our S

[IndyScribe]

Apparently Mathis' replacement.

wow calm down let these guys get on the field maybe they think we have are starting safety already

[Adonai]

Sounds like he may have been too good to pass up. Was a starter at Ohio State before having to transfer. I didn't think we needed another Pass Rusher but I like the pick.

[Nobody]

Hoping for Ladler, Dixon, Exum, Bailey or Roberson to play safety for us.

Just pointing out that Grigson has a terrible track record in late rounds.

[NewColtsFan]

Now I'm going to bang the table for us to trade a 2015 #5 for a 2014 #6.    I've got to believe there are players that Grigson covets and he doesn't want to wait until after pick 200 to take.

 

I still think a trade is coming.....

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

I wanted Exum. Oh well, i'm not a scout

[chad72]

He is a situational pass rusher at best, Jonathan Newsome.

 

Without a 4th rounder, we did not have ammunition to move up to get a difference maker, IMO. Chargers with Telesco, they moved up in round 2 to get Jeremiah Attaochu. In round 1, they got Jason Verett. So, to defend vs Peyton, they got a player for their secondary and a player for the pass rush. But they had picks to move up, especially their 4th.

 

Not having the 1st rounder would have been fine if we had the rest. Now, Grigson might re-think going bonkers trying to trade away future draft picks in the first 4 rounds. 5th and onwards, you get special teams and PS players more often than not. The first 4 rounds are normally the ones where you get the difference makers, IMO, for a norm.

Great video analysis.

How do we not need another pass rusher? First, all teams need more pass rushers, second, we had 1. One.

Agree on the rest though!

I do think this might be true after Grigson realizing that the first 4 rounds are more precious than the others for difference makers. So, trading away a future 5th where mostly back up and ST players happen is not as bad as trading away one in the first 4 rounds, at least IMO.

[BLUEx40]

this is a great pick a good pass rusher which ive seen on these forums a lot of people think we need (me to) great pick safety coming in the 7th

We have two; Mathis & Werner.

It is what it is, but we already have a lot of 'potentially' good players everywhere except safety. I wanted Sunseri.

Point being who is he and the next two going to beat out?

[csmopar]

First of the picks that made me scratch my head but a decent pick overall. Mainly due to the position that the player. I see him more as an OLB than a DE. That being said, I still think we go safety in the 6th. Just had that feeling all week. I could b wrong though
