I feel like that was the ultimate troll from Grigson haha. What's that Colts fans? Protect 12? Well how about ONLY linemen

 

I think it's more like Irsay made it clear that they need to upgrade the offensive line during their end of season meetings.

Iowa fan here. If we hadn't already drafted Kelly, I'd say Blythe would be a good candidate to start for us at C. With Kelly though, I think he'll be our backup C. Holmes and Harrison better be worried, because with this pick I don't more than one of  them makes the final 53.

Competition is good

Didn't we already have the short armed Center ...this sounds like AQ Shipley part 2 ... I think Shipley actually had better pro day stats

 

He's basically Shipley. But believe it or no, Shipley is 30 years old and has no room to improve.

True .. but this guy could be even worse ... end of the 7th so not that big of deal ... just an observation we seemed to never really want Shipley than go draft his clone.

I agree with all of that. Just saying, maybe they wouldn't have been so noncommittal on Shipley if he wasn't topped out and almost 30 years old. Getting a younger version of him with some upside makes sense. And like you said, end of the day, it's a late 7th rounder. If he's a PS guy at best, oh well.

    • I think HOU certainly got better. On defense, they added an All-Pro pass rusher in Hunter and also added Autry. They might have best ER duo in the NFL (though I say that without looking too in depth into it).   On offense, even if Diggs isn't still a great WR, you can do a lot worse at WR3. Nico had a legit breakout and Tank Dell was on pace for 1k+ yard/10+ TDs as a rookie. Even Noah Brown was productive. They have talent and depth there.   They also have a proven TE in Schultz, which I think gives their TE room the edge. Stover is also a prospect I liked. At this point, the Colts TE room doesn't have that TE1.   Colts have the better OL, but HOU is still a top 15 unit, possibly top 10 when healthy (which is the key). They dealt with injuries early last season, but once they got healthy, they were much better.   And at QB, Stroud is the more proven QB at this point.   Have to give them edge on offense overall. On defense, I would have to give them edge as well, due to their secondary. Right now, I think that's a big ? for the Colts.    I really don't see any major weakness, at least on paper. But they do have to face a gauntlet of a schedule, which probably caps their win total. Still, they should be the favorite in the AFCS.   But it's not just HOU, I think TEN is going to be much improved as well. And JAC has won 4/5 games against IND. Just overall, the AFCS should be really competitive, which makes picking up more wins tricky (vs. the past where at least one of those teams was typically bad).        
    • Summer heat's gotten to him. Somebody call somebody!
    • The only position Maniac can probably play now is on special teams! Put him on KO/KOR/Punt team! I’d kick the tires on that only if it were for vet min!
