I'm guessing we moved one of our 6's to move-up to take Parry.

 

I'm going to be brutally honest,  I simply don't understand the pick?  

 

He's not a scheme fit for the Colts.    6'1" and just under 310.   And he's maxed out.    Hard to see him getting much bigger.

 

Have the Colts ever had a DL on their roster the last 3 years this small?

 

Doesn't have long arms.     He's a 4-3  3-Tech at the NFL level.

 

I love the kid and he's picked in the right spot -- 5th round -- I just don't understand why the Colts took him?

Only gave up a 7th.

Nothing much of substance on this guy to be found in terms of video clips.  Doesn't make me feel too good.  lol

There wasn't much for Jonathan Newsome last year in the 5th round  either, and we see how that turned out.

Also why'd we take this guy over Christian Covington? Unless he was already drafted.

Also I guess we're ok at RB /:

I don't understand it either, I would of rather had Christian Covington or Terry Williams, but hopefully Parry is solid.

From reading about him they say he plays verypowerfully for his size and explodes into offensive linemen.Hes always the low man. And they say he can handle two gap duties despite his size. Hes powerful. And they scouts say they are unsure he can add more bulk. Not that he can't.

To be clear...

 

Stanford plays a 3-4 base defense....   but there's a difference between playing on the nose in college at 300-305 and trying to play the nose in the NFL at 310 which is where he is now.   He's a fire hydrant.    A smaller Josh Chapman.

 

Parry is a great kid.    Former walk-on.   Earned a scholarship.    Warrior on the field.    Tough, hard nosed, even a bit nasty on the field.     I just don't see the fit with the Colts.

 

I confess,   this one is a big head scratcher for me....    :scratch:         :dunno:

 

p.s. --   clearly we wanted him.    We traded our 7 to move up to get him.    I look forward to hearing from Grigson and Pagano about their plan for Parry.

    • I was thinking a bit about what Ballard said in that clip from "Behind the Colts", about "he's not going to get much bigger". No idea if he was talking about Worthy... but if he is... he's right. Whether Worthy ends up playing at 165 or 176... this is still extremely small and light. Whether he's in the 1st percentile or 5th percentile of athlete's in weight in the league, this doesn't change the type of player and type of worries you would have about him with any significance. So... in a way, I kind of find that conversation a bit pointless. IMO the question should be - okay. he is small... and he will always be small. Can we work with that? And can we live with the risk of injury for that small of a player? And the answer can be no here... I'm not saying we necessarily need to take that risk. 
    • You think the Ed Dodds you see in edited clips here is the same as the Ed Dodds who interviews with teams?   I don’t know you or anyone would think that?      He’s very much respected around the NFL which is why multiple teams ask to interview with them most every year. 
    • I was too hahaha  Why’s that
    • Round 1 - #15 A. Xavier Worthy, WR, Texas B. Brian Thomas, WR, LSU C. Brock Bowers, TE, Georgia   Round 2 - #46  A. Edgerrin Cooper, LB, Texas A&M B. Marshall Kneeland, DE, Western Michigan C. Jaden Hicks, S, Washington State   Round 3 - #82 A. Troy Franklin, WR, Oregon B. Darius Robinson, DE/DT, Missouri C. Ben Sinnott, TE, Kansas State   Round 4 - #117 A. Jalyx Hunt, DE, Houston Christian B. Mason McCormick, OG, South Dakota State C. Malik Washington, WR, Virginia   Round 5 - #151 A. Beaux Limmer, OC, Arkansas B. Tanor Bortolini, OC, Wisconsin C. Isaac Guerendo, RB, Louisville   Round 6 - #191 A. Decamerion Richardson, CB, Mississippi State B. Qwan'tez Stiggers, CB, Toronto C. Nick Gargiulo, OC, South Carolina   Round 7 - #234 A. Millard Bradford, SS, TCU B. Mark Perry, FS, TCU C. Dalton Tucker, OG, Marshall   BONUS: Will the Colts trade the #15 pick this year?  A: Yes, they will trade back.  
    • Yeah... Richardson needs players who can separate and who can get open deep. IMO "give the inaccurate QB a contested catch receiver with large catch radius" is one of the tropes that hasn't proven to work well. Contested catches have about 50-55% success rate even with the best of contested catch receivers and with relatively accurate QBs... now if you think AR's accuracy is not good, drop that rate even more. The best way to give a relatively inaccurate QB better chance to complete passes is to give him a WR who separates and and who is open so the QB would have more of a margin for error to throw the ball a little behind or ahead or a little higher or lower than ideal. (we are not talking about uncatchable balls here... those will be uncatchable for anyone really). In that regard, one thing I would agree about is - we need WRs who have good hands and have good ball skills.   And this is ignoring that AR has indeed been pretty good with his accuracy on passes at intermediate and long range. His biggest problem coming into the league was the short stuff and he was already showing improvements in that deparment before he got injured.    And Worthy is the WR who created the most separation from anybody in this draft :
