Colts draft Andrew Jackson, ILB, WKU [Merge]

[Indeee]

Andrew jackson

[danlhart87]

yep

 

[Flash7]

Was Shayne Skov still available? 

[mattceinicram]

I was really wanting to go safety here.....

[MTC]

Can't argue here. Gotta trust the scouts.

[kjyb]

i wanted safatey but omg i always dreamed him playing for colts thank god 

[Captain Americolt]

Ugh... Who was there besides him?

[IndyScribe]

Ugh... Who was there besides him?

Christian Jones. But there must be a reason as to why he's slid this far.

[kjyb]

Christian Jones. But there must be a reason as to why he's slid this far.

he could still go to us and switch him to safety 

[HtownColt]

Marcus Roberson or Ahmad Dixon make it to 232 and it's a pretty successful draft

[lennymoore24]

This guy is a thumper. One of the hardest hitters in the draft.  Great pick!  He hits RBs and they go down.

[HtownColt]

I mean this is just the kind of ILB we needed

[UKColt13]

With Shayne Skov still on the board?

This is a pick I question the thinking behind.

[Manning1887]

Solid pick!

[jameszeigler834]

Christian Jones. But there must be a reason as to why he's slid this far.

Ya he failed a drug test at the combine.

[MFT5]

I'm giddy about this guy

[Manning1887]

I am shocked Antonio Richardson is still available.

[DougDew]

So far the draft recap....OL, Front 7, and future number 1 WR.

That sounds pretty good I think.

[NewColtsFan]

Skov is still there.   My guess is he's off the boards of a lot of teams due to his knee.

 

He might just go the free agent route....    Before his knee injury he was talked about as a 1st or 2nd round kid.

 

Too bad for the kid.   

[el duderino]

Was Shayne Skov still available? 

Yes

[NewColtsFan]

I am shocked Antonio Richardson is still available.

 

I'm guessing either health issues, or failed drug tests, or some other type of character issues.   Nothing else would make sense.

[Coltsman1788]

I am more familiar with his name from my history books than from my draft manual.  He does however have a sentence dedicated to him about him being a top tackler in the Sun Belt Conference.  That's something...I guess.

[Ja'Crispy]

Welcome aboard, Mr. President.

[Smonroe]

I admit to knowing nothing about him. My usual question - Who does he beat out?

How many ILBs will we carry? Five, six?

[BrentMc11]

 

 

We will hear some pads smashing soon...big fella will hit ya!  

 

Sorry..used this in 2 threads....

[AllYouNeedIsLuck]

He's a steal 

 

"Oh my, what a stud of a backer. He’s a bit short, but that won’t stop him at all. He runs like he’s being chased – instead of the one doing the chasing. Plus, the kid hits like a wrecking ball – his victims probably have Miley Cyrus stuck in their heads after he lays them out. Jackson is an athletic freak and a turnover machine. He takes short routes to the ball carrier and plays his angles well. He’s built to be an inside linebacker, but his athleticism allows him to cover tight ends and some slot guys. He’ll stuff the run game because as soon as that guard flips his hips, Jackson is already filling the gap. “Character’ and “maturity” issues are the only things stopping him from being a first-round pick. I’m just a firm believer in talent."

[The Colts Walker]

Andrew Jackson, Andrew Luck, Peyton Manning week 1.... War of 1812 anybody?

[bestQBever]

I like the pick. 

[HtownColt]

Sheppard I hope

[mad dog curtis]

old hickory

[danlhart87]

Maybe Jackson and Dowling will reunite soon

[Adonai]

Big boy.

 

Bring him in and let him sit up under DQWell Jackson and learn a little something?

[Bleedin Blue]

We can always find some decent DB's in the draft I guess. Coach em' up...

[Carl Dzienkiewicz]

so far draft has been a bust as far as I can see--------can live with mewhort-----moncrief is good but how many wrs do we need?we went de in 5th, when we could have gotten SMITH or STINSON IN 3RD Oor addressed safety spot in 3rd.dunno.

[DoubleE Colt]

Got to say I like the picks so far. Even if so far they've collected charges between them of public urination, running from an officer, shoplifting sex toys and attempted burglary! Not a boring moment there lol.

[bestQBever]

I think we keep 4 ILB's. Freeman, D jackson, A jackson, and Muamba.

[James]

Welcome to the President 

[Flash7]

I think we keep 4 ILB's. Freeman, D jackson, A jackson, and Muamba.

McNary?

[throwing BBZ]

Christian Jones. But there must be a reason as to why he's slid this far.

Do you think it could be the widely publicized, recent failed drug test?

[Adonai]
