For people questioning no RB early i really like what i've seen from Dreamius Smith he's gonna be a hidden gem for whoever drafts him or picks him up he can be a great rotation RB with guys like Gore and Herron. Although if we go for a guy like Duke Johnson or Jay Ajayi early i wouldn't be against it at all.

Where does Preston Smith fit at within our defensive scheme? Honest question, because like Mario Edwards, he would seem to be a "tweener" in our system.

He's not a tweener. Very clearly a 3-4 DE. That was proven at the Senior Bowl and Combine. Absolutely not a tweener.

Am I missing something or looking at the wrong Preston Smith? At ~275lbs, he's NOT a 3/4 DE. His only spot as a 3/4 DE would be the 3tech. If his bench test (24 reps) is any relation to his overall strength, he's not nearly strong enough or big enough to even be a 3tech in our front.

Every scouting report I've seen on him (including mine) has his best position at 3-4 DE. He has the size and game strength. He was looked at for a huge senior bowl, 4-3 DE or 3-4 DE and he looked very good and fluid at 3-4DE but stuggled on the edge.

he's got great speed for 271 fills gaps and gets pressure behind the line. guy also is a great tackler. i think it would be preferable to put on a few more pounds to handle the bigger hogs up front on opposing OL but i believe he's more than caple of playing DE in the 3-4

As for the Mock its pretty good, I just don't like Shanbrilo or No S early. Nelson will probably be long gone by then but he's a better zone CB anyway. Replace Shambrilo with a S and Nelson with a more realistic PM (Press Man) CB and this would be a favorite of mine.

i wanted to go again for someone like D'Joun Smith in the 3rd but i thought a lot of attention has been on OL and while i'd much rather address defense early i think it's more realistic to suggest that we may go OL early would much prefer Sambrailo in the 3rd to Ereck Flowers in the 1st I watched Sambrailo on tape and think with a little learning could easily be a starter on our line. also with the safety position i just really like two of my more researched safety prospects Clayton Geathers and Durell Eskridge both have good size and while Geathers is a heavy hitter with some coverage ability Eskridge has just great coverage ability covers slants and crossing routes really really well and can play man to man and come up against the bigger recievers and TE's my only complaint is both have a bull in a china shop approach to tackling they can hit and hit hard but charging head first to make a play leads to bad angles and miised tackles as well but i feel that is something that Pagano can coach up although would not be against Colllins or Randall early either.also perhaps Ibrahiem ampbell or Jaquiski Tartt early perhaps 2nd to 4th round

Here's a good breakdown of Preston Smith from Phil Savage.

 

 

I think he'd be a real good draft pick.  Stout against the run and can provide you with some good interior pressure on passing downs, which is killer when you look at some of the guys we will have coming off the edge.

      Taking a poll on Richardson and everyone's views...

      By #12. · Posted

      Ignoring anything to do with accuracy, level of play, etc., just based on his injury history through 8 games, it's highly unlikely he will be our QB in a few years.  It's a catch 22 with him.  If you don't utilize his legs, it will be very difficult to win with him.  If you do utilize his legs, it will be very difficult to keep him on the field.  I've come to the conclusion that his size is not necessarily a benefit.  The collisions are harder.  He goes to the ground harder.  You don't see some of the gentle drops and rolls you see with Lamar Jackson.     The fact that he's also tied to a front office that might be counting their days doesn't help either.

      How can you watch Colts games with so many injuries to top players?

      By ProblChld32 · Posted

      Id say avoid drafting or taking players from your team that you’re a fan of. I’m an avid fantasy guy and also a sports bettor. I literally will avoid taking any Colts players In fantasy and also during the week in fantasy football I avoid taking the props of the players I’m playing against. I never want to wish bad on anyone so for that very reason I avoid those guys. For me personally it has helped tremendously, I can still enjoy the game without bias.

      Richardson day to day with abdominal, oblique injuries

      By ColtAndOrioles · Posted

      I will just say this about the comparisons between Luck and AR.  And even Manning.   First, as far as overall talent?  I think AR has more talent than Andrew.  And I say that as the biggest Luck fan that there is.  I loved that guy.  But he always reminded me of a Manning wannabe.  Someone who had more pure talent.  Who was very smart.  But I never ever got the feeling that he wanted to win and put in the hours that Manning did.  And I think that was proven when he retired so early.  Manning was like an AI robot who studied 23 hours a day.  Just a huge will to win.    But what Luck had was pain tolerance, drive and overall ability due to his teaching since he was a kid...and his will to do what is right for the team.    IMO that was 100% MORE than AR's is right now.  Not even close.    If only you could clone a combo between Manning and his smarts, Luck and his pain tolerance, and AR and his pure athletic ability.    I am sorry but unless AR is the unluckiest person in the history of the NFL, NO ONE gets hurt this much.  He is a wreck.  Heck I remember in his first pre season game last year he ran out of bounds and started to limp.  Literally his very first hit ever.  Right then I said to myself "uh oh".  And then he has not finished what......4 of his all time starts?  Out of 8?  I mean....that is not normal QB behavior.  He seems to get hurt on almost every hit he takes.    Make that make sense.    It is very VERY odd to say the least.   I want AR to do well because he seems like a good guy and he has all the talent in the world  But after this last game and his words after? For lack of a better word I don't think he has any ability at all to do 2 things.     One....protect himself.   Two.....take a hit and feel pain without it being the end of the world.  He seems to have no pain tolerance whatsoever.  Which is fine.  Just don't be an NFL Qb as a result.

      I'm not creating anything.  Till AR can stay on the field it's Flacco that has to be tough.

      I understand that but till AR shows he can stay on the field, Flacco has to be the man. It's that simple.
