I like Wisconisn RT Rob Havenstein.  The guy is huge, strong, long arms, smart, durable (started 41 games for the Badgers) and more athletic than you'd think a 6'8" 329lb guy should be.  Reports say he was 380lbs when he showed up at Wisconsin and has worked hard to lose weight.  Weighed in at 327lbs at the Senior Bowl.

I was looking at him closely for most of the Senior Bowl.  I liked him as well as Kouandjo.

I do think it's about time to draft a tackle.

I didn't get to watch the Senior bowl so I appreciate the input.

 

And yes I think it's time to draft a RT.  I like GC okay but his contract is up after the 2015 season so, I think with the success the Colts had with Mewhort, they will draft a guy they think could start this year if need be, but the plan will to have him sit for a year and learn before becoming the starter next year.

      Taking Taylor off the field

      By rockywoj · Posted

      Oh contrare, I’d say it says more about Shane Steichen’s skill set as a coach.

      Taking Taylor off the field

      By rockywoj · Posted

      Excerpt from an article at NFL.com …     ”… One player the Colts can lean on while Richardson gets his sea legs: running back Jonathan Taylor. After last year's hold-in and injury issues, the star running back looks back to his old self. JT bursts through the line like a Mustang on fire, leaving linebackers in his wake. On Sunday, Taylor totaled 12 carries for 103 yards and +55 rushing yards over expected, his most RYOE in a game since Week 15 of 2021. He also forced five missed tackles across 14 touches.    Shane Steichen's decision to bench the star back during the entire fourth quarter because the Colts were in pass mode belies credibility. Even if Taylor isn't a prolific pass catcher out of the backfield, sitting your best offensive weapon for an entire quarter is folly -- hopefully one Steichen doesn't repeat. If defenses are going to sit back to slow Richardson's deep attack, Taylor should gobble up chunk gains.    At this point, Taylor is the most consistent thing going for Indy. The 25-year-old back owns a game-changing gear and can shoulder a massive load. His presence and production should help settle Richardson down during the roller-coaster dips. Taylor hasn't looked fully healthy in a couple of years. He did this past Sunday. The Colts need to ride that stallion.”     The above referenced article kind of echoes my feelings on the matter.

      Richardson Green Bay Dropbacks

      Exactly I am confused with that comment by Shane unless that one drop deserved him to be benched. Again coaches know what's the best.

      I'm not sure why the team thinks JT can't be effective in the passing game.

      I know that you use the word only once, and I'm sure that you know what it means. But find one example of me contradicting myself please?
