Draft Day #1

[LJpalmbeacher2]

LOL if it is I am leaving for a while.

 

Whats funny is I don't even know who the players are.

Bye bye. We'll miss you.

[Shive]

I don't hate Dorsett, but I have a hard time seeing the value in the pick with the logjam at the position. Our passing game hasn't been the issue and would've much rather gone defense.

[ruksak]

oh my. 

 

so much going on in my head.

 

are we trading a WR before the season?

 

Are we going to run with some 4 WR sets and open things for the run game?

 

Are we gonna run the score up and hope our defense can stall the opponents?

 

This is wild!

My last hope is that we're trading up in the 2nd to grab some run stoppers. 

 

I'm not able to wrap my head around this decision to beef up our deepest unit. 

 

Grigs....dude......Trent, Werner, and now this? His best 1st round pick was a gimme in Luck. 

[weslo1812]

Stupid

What's wrong with Grigson? How do you pick a WR, when we have glaring needs at OL, DL and S and have plenty of talent at WR?

Unreal.

You're not getting it! Its NOT...NOT according to need!!! Its BEST PLAYER AVAILABLE!!! Thats the fundamental flaw alot of people have. They base their thoughts and projections on need. Thats not how it works though.

[COLTS449]

But Grigson's a genius right? No matter what he's always right just because he's the GM right? freaking stupid as hell. I wont be able to go to sleep all damn night now.

[nburgmei]

Raise your hand if you saw Phillips Dorsett coming......?

 

Not me.

A buddy had just asked me, "Any idea who the Colts will draft?" I literally said, "Not a WR" about 60 seconds before...Dorsett.

[PhillyCOLTSfan]

Now we can get cribbs off the team dorsett is da returner without a doubt

[BProland85]

We better hope Arthur jones and Langford hold up at DE. We have no one behind them.

[chad hugo]

Luck is about to break peyton's touchdown record this year 

[runthepost]

Sigh 30 point losses coming to pats again twice this year

[DougDew]

You're not getting it! Its NOT...NOT according to need!!! Its BEST PLAYER AVAILABLE!!! Thats the fundamental flaw alot of people have. They base their thoughts and projections on need. Thats not how it works though.

And run stoppers are one dimensional players. Not 1st round material.

[IndyD4U]

At least he can return

[cmgww]

I was surprised but I'm not going to melt down like everyone on here. Carter is unproven, TY will demand big $$ after next season, AJ is old, Moncrief is still rough around the edges, probably won't keep both TEs...we have 9 picks, well 8 now. Plenty of time to find diamonds in the rough. Would have liked to see defense, but I'm not a GM.

[chad hugo]

We still have 8 more picks,  RELAX ! 

[weslo1812]

I don't hate Dorsett, but I have a hard time seeing the value in the pick with the logjam at the position. Our passing game hasn't been the issue and would've much rather gone defense.

You gotta think...Carter is no guarantee at all. He's got alot to prove. And Andre will be here a maybe 2 years. After that we have Hilton and Moncrief so another option at WR isn't a bad thing really. Is it our biggest need? No way!!! But its not about that. That's what people fail to understand.

[SP_21]

I would love to have Damarious Randall now

[CopenhagenColt]

And still some people will defend anything Grigson does... Unbelievable.

 

I'm done with this draft... Grigson got lucky in his first draft, other than that.. Not very impressive.

[DougDew]

Sigh 30 point losses coming to pats again twice this year

How? They lost Revis. Is their puny 10mil safety gonna cover TY, AJ, Moncrief, and then fresh 4.3 legs Dorsett all by himself?

[rock8591]

Initially disliked the pick, now like it.

 

If Brown, Goldman, Phillips are expected to be 2nd rounders, no reason to spend a 1st rounder for them.

 

I still predict a DT in the 2nd round, S or LB in the 3rd-4th.

[bababooey]

How? They lost Revis. Is their puny 10mil safety gonna cover TY, AJ, Moncrief and fresh legs Dorsett, all by himself?

No but their scumbag RB is gonna run all over us again.

[CanuckColt]

This looks like planning for the future...a future perhaps without T.Y.

[SP_21]

How? They lost Revis. Is their puny 10mil safety gonna cover TY, AJ, Moncrief and fresh legs Dorsett, all by himself?

Their defense isn't gonna be on the field much if they run the ball down our throats

[CS Coltsfan]

absolutely hate the pick.. I like Dorsett and had him in many of my drafts but no where near the 1st..Over Drafted IMO... A need we did not need in thje 1st... WR are DEEP in this draft!!!!! . Lucks needs better Oline.. no time he makes bad decisions... can't stop the run.. had Brown and Goldman available.. had Saftey's avaiable.. no we choose a WR.. looks like we have Peyton 2.0 Offense and No real Defense... I know they seem to be happy with our Dline with Chappy Kerr and Hughes.. my question to Grigs is  .. Why didn't we use them to Stop the Patriots, Cowboys, Steelers  last year????????? or Did We????????????

[COLTS449]

Don't anybody try to find silver lining. It was dumb.

[csmopar]

This looks like planning for the future...a future perhaps without T.Y.

i don't agree with the pick but, I don't see TY going anywhere....but I do see this being the end of Josh Cribbs

[NewEra]

Let's just go ahead and draft a punter in the second

[ruksak]

At least he can return

I'd love to return him. Did you keep the receipt, Grigson? 

[rock8591]

Still got Brown, Phillips, Goldman all available, same with Benardrick McKinney and Landon Collins.

[cmgww]

Let's see how the whole draft plays out before losing our minds. BPA is the way to go. We seem to overrate our WR corps. TY can be erased, Reggie was a shell (I know he's gone), AJ may have lost a step, Moncrief is still developing, and Carter hasn't done anything in the NFL yet. Now if we don't go D line or O line in the 2nd round I'll start to wonder....

[ruksak]

Luck is about to break peyton's touchdown record this year 

More likely to break his leg. 

 

I shouldn't be such a bummer, but WR makes no sense to me at all. 

[DougDew]

Raise your hand if you saw Phillips Dorsett coming......?

 

Not me.

I had Dorsett in my (unposted) mock. But I didn't think Grigs had the nerve to do it.

[Gavin]

No but their scumbag RB is gonna run all over us again.

Picking a D Lineman alone would not change the Patriots running all over us, They ran all over us primarily because the scheme they employed to run the ball was near genius

[weslo1812]

People who have all thier projections and hopes for our draft based on need are setting themselves up for disappointment. I hope they realize this.

[NewEra]

Still got Brown, Phillips, Goldman all available, same with Benardrick McKinney and Landon Collins.

They can all fly off the board beginning of 2nd. Like the player, just not for us.

[bababooey]

Idc about BPA. This will not close our gap with New England. We have zero need at receiver.

[SilentHill]

I want to be a Patriots fan.

[LJpalmbeacher2]

We won't be beating the pats and their run game again this year

But I bet we'll score more than 7 points next time too.

[pacolts56]

Aaaaand.....that's a kick in the nuts!

[21isSuperman]

Of course, the Pats take Brown

[bababooey]

I KNEW IT. I HATE NEW ENGLAND. I HATE RYAN GRIGSON
