MTC Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Matt Miller from BR has a man crush on Tartt. I watched a bit of film on him and I can see why. He's great. Campbell is decent. Not really someone who I would want to start right away but could develop into a nice player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defjamz26 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I think Tartt is pretty much Collins junior. If we don't get Collins, I'd gladly take Tartt in the second round.Campbell seems like a solid prospect too. I like the fact that there is a real chance the Colts finally draft a safety high.

Colts_Fan12 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I personally want 2 Safties cause I don't wanna put full trust in Adams having another great season at his age and I'm not a fan of Lowery at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Posted April 18, 2015 Author Share Posted April 18, 2015 I personally want 2 Safties cause I don't wanna put full trust in Adams having another great season at his age and I'm not a fan of Lowery at all I agree. I definetly wouldn't be opposed to drafting a player like Collins in the first and a player like Eric Rowe or Ifo in the second. That way we'd get 1 pure safety and another player who offers versatility as a CB and FS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having Andrew Luck to makes us look better then we really are and winning us games we shouldn't?? He really hasn't done much.

Hoosiernsavga Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I hope we can get Tartt in the middle of the draft somewhere. He would fit in well and we wouldn't be reaching for a safety in the first two rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grigs can really * you off sometimes. How would you know how much interest he had last year? None of us really knows.... he talked about wanting to draft one prior to the draft. But there was a run on safeties and by the time it came to our first pick at 59, the best ones were gone. We took Mewhort which was a priority need and he paid off. A couple of safeties went before we took Moncrief at the bottom of the 3rd. And more were taken in the 4th where we didn't have a pick. We targeted Newsome in the 5th. We only had 3 picks to do some damage and unfortunately things didn't break our way..... I have issues with Grigson over safeties... but I'm not sure this is one of them.

To read what some have to say Grigson is at the bottom of the NFL as far as being a GM is concerned. It gets ridiculous at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt many players don't come here because they don't want to. At least, I hope not. I don't know why you'd be in the same boat.... I don't think he makes a compelling argument on Grigson and I think that boat is small right now.... It may get bigger someday.... but I think it's a small raft at this point....

Mewhort, Moncrief, and Newsome. We only had 5 picks and we hit on 3 of them. I really think you shouldn't complain about a GM as a whole unless he absolutely isn't getting the job done and you can't say that with Grigson. But we'll see how he does this year. Keep in mind that he's only had 3 drafts after we completely overhauled our roster. I'd say he's done a fine job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't really get big time difference makers in FA without spending a lot of money. And you can only have the luxury of spending that much money on 1 or 2 people if you don't have gaping holes everywhere else. Grigs's approach is to use FA to fill in the holes and use the Draft to build the superstars. In my view, Grigs has only made 2 huge mistakes. Bjorn and T rich. But I don't know if we can blame him for the T rich thing because we were desperate and 75% of the media and this forum thought we were getting the next Jim Brown.

Grigs can really * you off sometimes.Yeah, you would think knowing it's a weak draft class he would have addressed the S position in Free Agency and we could use the picks on higher rated players in other positions.

Serviceable vets are needed when you completely turn a roster over. There were obvious misses like Landry, and he obviously expected RJF to take a bigger leap.

Defjamz26 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Yeah I'm with Dustin on this. This 2015 draft will let me know Grigson's future with the Colts.He needs to upgrade the line and the safety positions first and foremost. As weak as people say this safety class is, there are some great prospects this year including the two being talked about in this topic.He gets a pass last year, but there is no reason whatsoever that he shouldn't draft a safety in at least the first 4 rounds this year.
