Connor Cook to the Raiders

I don't get that pick. Mayock is trying to say it's just like what happened with Cousins but I don't see it. Cook should have gone to a tea

 with a veteran to sit and learn.

[21isSuperman]

Darkhorse pick I want the Colts to take: Tajae Sharpe

[21isSuperman]

This thing with random people announcing the pick is stupid.  It's slowing things down

[21isSuperman]

Ramsey, Jack, Day....Jags are building a solid defense

He'll have the opportunity to do that behind Carr

[Colts_Fan12]

Damn it now he will have to wait to show he is good just like Cousins. then in like 4 years he will be getting a franchise tag and all the teams that always suck at picking QBs will be kicking themselves again. It's no surprise the Browns and Jets are always terrible at the QB position with how they draft 1st round QBs fall to them and they blow it

And of course when our guy was out there announcing Green we didn't see it on tv.

[Gavin]

And there goes Day.......Still have my eye on Ridgeway. Billings, Feeney, Wallace, Blair, Ochi, Judon, Cowser, Mcalister, Antwuan Woods, Dean Lowry to name a few

 

Billings not able to affect the pass game and get after the QB? This is news to me

That's what I'm hearing too. I put up an article in another topic that said the same thing. I don't get it.

I was going to ask why billings has dropped like a rock. Is there something not out in public view?

Now I do believe he has the same problem Parry has and that's breaking down in space. From that point I get it

I'll bet its weed rumors or something like that.

 

Nevermind, just saw the tweet about no character issues.

[21isSuperman]

Rams about to make their 2nd pick of the draft, 110th overall

[21isSuperman]

The Simpsons!!!

[Defjamz26]

Higbee makes sense. The Rams OC is a TE specialist.

[21isSuperman]

I love how they show footballs being made right before the Pats pick

The picture of Billings does him no favors.  It looks like about 20 of those 311 pounds is beer gut.

[krunk]

it makes sense the argument of him dropping just due to the thick level of DL to choose from. He will probably be chosen in this round.

[JRnINDY]

I'd love to see us take Billings

I'd like to share another perspective, and hope that it doesn't come across as argumentative....

 

You see it as getting 90% of what could be expected.    OK.

 

But that 10%,  those 42 points,  that represents another 4th round pick, or certainly a 5th round pick.   That's another quality player.       So, instead of getting two solid players,  we're getting one.

 

I would think for a franchise that is moving away from using free agency and embracing the draft more to build the team,  only getting one solid player when it should be getting two is a big sacrifice.

 

My long-term concern is once you demonstrate that you're willing to make a discounted deal,  that we should expect more offers like that.     Discounted deals.      It'll be harder to do deals where the points are closer to matching.       And I don't view that as an insignificant thing.      Eventually it adds up.....

 

 

That's all fair. Assuming most teams pay that kind of attention to the value chart. Don't want to known as the team that can be had for 40 points on draft day.

 

I do think the fact that the Colts picked up two extra picks in a draft where they were short on picks kind of explains why they were willing to make this move. Yeah, the 7th isn't very valuable, but for a team that has a few late rounders and is pretty good at rostering UDFAs, that could be a contributor.

[21isSuperman]

Nobody wants the 113th pick

[21isSuperman]

Kwiatkoski goes in the 4th round, good for him.  Very productive player with a very high motor

Yeah, looks kinda out of shape!

[Defjamz26]

You think the Bears have enough LBs lol? Trevathan, Freeman, and now Kwiatkoski. Damn 

[21isSuperman]

Browns, then Falcons, then Colts!

[Defjamz26]

Gotta be Billings or Ridgeway for the Colts. Maybe a RB

[21isSuperman]

Colts on the clock!

[21isSuperman]

If Billings doesn't have any health concerns, I think he'd be an excellent pick here

[Nobody]

Ridgeway, good pick!

[Defjamz26]

Hassan Ridgeway!!!!!

[Architects08]

nice

[James]

Hassan Ridgeway is a very good pick!

 

Good job Grigson.

[pacolts56]

There you have it.... Ridgeway

[21isSuperman]

Ridgeway.  I like it

[stitches]

Good pick! Good value

[tweezy32]

I thought billings was better than most of these dlineman that have been picked before him?
