It's still extremely early, but this is a good article on every team's draft class through 2 weeks of the preseason. This is a good read for everyone that is curious about the 2015 draft class so far and learning about how each team is looking now. There are a lot of things supported by PFF if you are a fan of that on here, but this gives a nice overview of how every team is looking. 

ENJOY!

yeah, i posted this in the "grigson has some explaining to do" thread yesterday. Some people don't like BR, but it rates Indy's draft performance so far as an A-. Saying it "fills Indy's needs top to bottom'

I agree on D We picked up help on the front 7 and back end. Then toss in the FA's and the return of Mathis We should be better on D for sure.

We could just be ridiculous on offense. I think the O line comes together formations will help a lot

I think special teams get cleaned up when we get to 53 see some quality on coverage. We have been in position to make plays. Barner's house call Guy should've talked him right as he caught it

I was hoping Barner would be the odd man out in Philly I am guessing a K return for a TD. each game gets him a spot. Plus he's a former Duck. That backfield is loaded Philly could surprise this yr

It's going to be a fun year

Yeah, sorry about repeating the article, it wasn't until an hour ago that I read the grigson article all the way through and saw you posted it and it was too late to take back the thread. There were 12 pages and I was reading it from back on the 3rd page and it was very long to get all the way through.

I checked out the pats draft grade up to this point and colts fans will be happy to know that Malcolm brown is currently their worst rated DT. A lot of us including me wanted to draft brown, and for me he will forever be compared to Dorsett.

I noticed this about Malcom Brown as well, was very pleased. I want Collins, but I admit I would of been happy with Brown at the time as well, and this is coming from someone who had Dorsett ranked very highly before the draft. Grigson made a gutsy decision, and was rewarded later in the draft with solid defensive players and what looks to be a solid RB. Dorsett was one of 3 players I was strongest about that wouldn't be a bust along with Danny Shelton and Amari Cooper. Doesn't mean he'll be a top 3 player in the draft, but I think he'll be one of the top 3 safe picks for sure not to bust.

 Thanks for posting this.

 It was good to get an update on so many of the players i was interested in at draft time.

No problem BBZ, glad you enjoyed it! It was a pretty good article for bleacher report, gave some solid info on most of the picks. Maybe a bit generous on the grades, but at least the evaluations on the players were honest and we can make our own assessments.

NP, just letting you know i seen it earlier. I think they graded so high because we DID drat by need..even the first rounder.  Granted it might not have been the priority of OL or DL, but the quality we got at DL in this draft seems worth it so far.  And Good has potential, alot of it.

      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.
