What's the story with Cash? I thought he was at least a 3rd round pick. I hope we get Marshall though.

There are several Safeties left that seemed like they would go higher, but Cash really has taken the cliff dive though

I'd like to see Cowser from Southern Utah....   OLB

 

Cajuste from Stanford.....    TE

 

Martin Koprich smallish RB from the midwest (small school) who the Colts had a visit with.

 

OR....

 

Jhurrell Pressley,  another smallish RB from New Mexico.

 

Those guys would interest me....     I'm sure there are others,   but off the top of my head,  they'd work....

Now is the time to draft David Perkins, that bend and speed is so ridiculous. Need an edge rusher!

I'm scared because the bears were at that pro day when we scouted Perkins. Hope they don't take him.

In Bates they saw a more toned athlete than Maine fans saw in past years. He’s spent the past three months in Tampa, Florida, working out with coaches and 20 other draft hopefuls, gaining speed, losing a little weight (down to 244 from 250 on his 6-foot-2 frame) and working on the footwork necessary to play linebacker in the NFL.

The Colts’ scout kept him after the regular drills for a lengthy session aimed at showing Bates’ speed and agility. That was where Bates shined.

 I hate 7th Rounders...such throw away picks.  The draft is one round too long in my opinion.  No one can convince me that Trevor Bates from Maine couldn't have been signed after the draft as an undrafted free agent.

Other teams were interested. You never know where he'll decide to go. Now we'll have him signed for a while and he won't be able to go elsewhere. That's all that 7th rounders are.

Udfa get get to choose where they go. They can look at your roster and say I don't think I can make it or they may want to go to a regional team (maybe NE) to be closer to home or closer to his family home wherever that is. Now he is locked in and ours.

Did we stump the truck with him. No info or picture on him on NFL network. Lol

 

The closest thing to Trevor Bates that is scary I can think of is the Bates' motel. :)

 

Otherwise, I have no clue about his pass rush skills.

doesnt matter. He can play

Who can play? I'm confused. I quoted you two times. First was, You Said "draft a pass rusher." I quipped "it's the 7th round." Just screwing with ya on that one. 

 

Second, i was genuinely interested in what yoy knew about the LB. I am still curious about the pick. What do you know about him?

I admit I know little about him.  But I'm relieved to see you are happy about the pick since you have been following the pass rushers in this class pretty close.  Just watched some of his highlights and he came off as pretty impressive.  Hopefully, he has the goods to translate his skills to the next level.  Quite a step up for him in competition.

    • I just cant understand taking D line over a CB this year.  WR or Bowers would make sense to me   If the team doesnt value corners this way then maybe they should start.  I dont like to pigeon hole what we draft this hard but our secondary is a bunch of nobodies and our Dline is ok, better than ok actually.  We dont even have many snaps for a rookie unless they are a really good edge right out of the gate. A rookie DT from this class isnt beating Buckner or Stewart.
    • We see many coverage failures by all teams caused by miscommunication.  Certainly there are exceptional individuals that play CB but experience and intelligence are vital.  Flowers had size and 4.3's speed, and Jones was decent. Juju has potential but because of his size and speed he will always be successfully targeted.   We are desperate for a 4.3's stud that can cover anytime, anywhere. That was Rodgers BTW. 
    • Isaiah Land he says.     Every year it happens. The Dallas Cowboys make some tough roster cuts and we all wait nervously to see if our favorite prospects make it cleanly through waivers. Most do, but every once in a while, a team will scoop up that one guy we were hoping made it to the practice squad. This year, that player is edge rusher Isaiah Land. An undrafted free agent from Florida A&M, Land dealt with injuries his final year in college, but had a remarkable season in 2021 when he finished with 19 sacks, 25.5 tackles for a loss, and three fumble recoveries. While there is a lot to be uncovered with him, he still flashed enough to draw interest from the Cowboys. Throughout the summer, the young edge rusher had impressed and it looked like the team had found another diamond in the rough. Land was fantastic during the preseason. In three games, he finished with 10 total pressures, which was the second-most of any player on any NFL team this preseason. He also finished with seven hurries on 45 pass-rushing snaps. He only recorded one official sack but finished with a pass rush win rate of 20%. Not only that, he had opposing tackles so worried about his get-off that they were regularly jumping early. There were several instances when tackles would get called for a false start.    Might as well be optimistic about  Woods and Land contributing to our resurrection. 
    • Nice catch Stitch.  Year two of Steichen, our very functional TE group and Downs gives me very high expectations that we will be highly effective attacking the middle of the field. If we do add another WR to help complement the other side of the field, Pittman's ability to be even more outstanding only goes up. And I feel confident another guy will be added. Our offense should be very strong for 2024.
    • I'm hopeful Colts resign Blackmon and do this in the draft
