Colts select Phillip Dorsett 29 [Mega Merge]

Well, they had 28 picks before theirs to see if they could get any trades. And it was longer than 2 seconds. I seem to recall that there was at least a commercial break between when the Bengals made their selection and when the Colts made theirs. I was several whiskies into the night, so it could have been longer or shorter, lol.

EDIT: Meant Lions, lol. Getting my cats mixed up. Maybe I did have too much whiskey lol.

What is this too much whiskey you speak of? There can never be too much whiskey.

I'm feeling much better about this pick after last night's selections. I still fear Brown is going to be another Wilfork for the Pats and I'd much rather have that no matter how good Dorsett ends up being. I do think Dorsett will be excellent and Luck should be the #1 player taken in every fantasy draft now.

Do you know how many 2013 or 2014 first rounders played in the Super Bowl last year?

That's not the point, at all!  It's about upgrading your roster, IMO!  Sure, I'll agree with the standpoint of Malcom Brown doesn't fit our system, or he is overrated, but do you think he would see significant reps and be an upgrade to what we currently have?  Or is Dorsett going to play more this year and have a bigger impact?  I have Dorsett at #3 on the depth chart, so it is likely he will, but that pushes Moncrief down, and we spent a #3 on him last year, in which we had other needs, especially since we didn't even have a #1 last year!

 

I get the future thing and all, but if you have the opportunity to win NOW, you take it, because tomorrow is NEVER guaranteed!

Nobody else had the speed to go alone with the hands that this kid has so I think he was scouts rated him as a late 1 to early second round pick and that's where the colts got him.

 

Best WR is determined by the team and the team alone. Not by Mel Kiper, Mayock or whomever.  If the Colts had Dorsett graded as the best WR then how is someone else going to say he wasn't the best wr available?  That's totally up to the team who pulls the trigger on the wideout.  To the Colts he was the best WR availalbe according to their boards.

Exactly. The Colts, based on their board,  felt that Dorsett will be a far better contributor to the team than the other D players that were available at the time they picked.

    • So four times in 8 years.   We've just spent $200m to stay the same. I mean instead re-signing Stewart and extending Franklin sign Arik Armstead and Frankie Luvu than add a safety like Kamren Curl and a CB like Sean Murphy-Bunting. That would've cost us, what, $20m year more? Tell me the defense wouldn't instantly be better...
    • I think he paid Johnathan Hankins about 10M per year(30/3) in his first free agency when he was remaking the whole defense.  In 2019 he signed Justin Houston for 24/2... and Devin Funchess for 13M...  In 2020 - Rivers... In 2021 - none In 2022 - Gilmore In 2023 - none
    • How the heck did I miss that?! Wow
    • It is fact. You do understand where the money to pay player salaries and such comes from right? I mean it’s right there in the CBA…   the league basically places the money in an escrow account every year directly from the league, which is a portion of the revenue set aside for player salaries from the leagues various sources(tv deals for example). It never touches the owners pockets first.  Jim Irsay could have only 10 cents in his account and it wouldn’t matter when it comes to player salaries.  yes, guaranteed monies and such have to be put in upfront but if you read the fine print, that money is basically reimbursed the to the team the year it’s paid out. So 2025 guarantees would be paid back to the team in 2025 from the player salaries fund.    and yes, I’ve linked it every year for the past 5-6 years. Ever since the beginning of the Ballard era, which seems to be when this notion of Irsay not having cash for this or that came up as a rationale for not signing big name FA. It’s not though when one actually looks up how that all works.
