Bold predictions for the draft

U mean in the entire country? O didnt say Pac12, SEC,ACC. I said in the entire country, No one can find an NFL Starting QB, or Darn LT thats worthy of a top 10? So u mean whoever is picked (2-7 round), and if they are a QB or Olineman, that means they totally suck because no other QB/olineman was worth a top 10 selection. 

 

Whatever scout can't find the best QB/olinemen, while they have a top 10 pick and your team needs one of these positions badly, they need to be fired because many people have done more with less (high picks in the draft). 

 

And you might be one of them.I guess if a team needs a LT, just sign former Colt Charlie Johnson or Gosder Cherilus because they are much better than any player in the draft, even though you have the entire country to choose from.

 

I think its bad scouting not bad players. So what happened, did all the olineman all of a sudden say hay, I feel like taking the season off? Tell Russel Wilson that he wasn't worth a top 10 pick, tell Center Travis Frederick that he wasn't worth a 1st round selection. Guess what, teams that missed/passed on these players when you needed these position of need filled, tell me if they still have the same GM when those players were selected. Like I said, goes back to scouting and player evaluation, the good teams has these boxes checked, regardless of what mock draft/people say.

No need to take the conversation into ridiculousness.  The scouts see it different.  And yes, the could very well be wrong.

Last I remember was 2002. Miami CBs Phillip Buchanon (17) and Mike Rumph (27), and S Ed Reed (24) all went in the first round. Also on that 2001 Miami team were 13 other future first rounders including: Antrel Rolle, Sean Taylor, Clinton Portis, Willis McGahee, Andre Johnson, Jeremey Shockey, Frank Gore, and Vince Wilfork. That team was stacked to say the least.

 

Jonathan Vilma, D.J. Williams, Vernon Carey, Kellen Winslow...as well. Here is the full list:

 

Andre Johnson Wide Receiver 1 3 2003 Houston Texans
Sean Taylor Defensive Back 1 5 2004 Washington Redskins
Kellen Winslow II Tight End 1 6 2004 Cleveland Browns
Bryant McKinnie Tackle 1 7 2002 Minnesota Vikings

Bold Prediction: The Colts draft a player with "character concern(s)".

 

It could be... T. Williams, J. Lewis, R. Foster, etc. and that would be fine.

JUST NOT M. McDowell (Don't need destructive players in our locker room)

 

If we draft...

EDGE T. Williams - Give him a Ty Mathieu Rookie Contract

https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/cardinals/2013/05/23/tyrann-mathieu-arizona-cardinals/2356079/

Make it a Zero-Sum Contract where he receives full payment for not failing any drug tests.

 

CB J. Lewis - Make sure he attends the Rookie Meeting about "certain distractions"

Hopefully his problems were due to his "significant other's" problem, and not his own doing.

 

ILB R. Foster - Let him be the young, fast, and hard-hitting player he is

So, word is that Foster is a Leader and has no character concern; the Combine incident was an aberration.

 

"Ignore the noise" - Ballard

    • I'm not saying he is about to be a sack machine but you can see some of his potential as a one gap penetrator with that frame.    
    • Davis came from Alabama. My point of interest as the writer highlighted is he is moving from being a 2 gapper into now only being responsible for a single gap with a lot more penetration from him versus read and react. With his length and power at 6ft 7 300 plus the expectation for him in our scheme is he will be more disruptive. A much more reliable option for us if Grover goes down in addition to whatever else maybe we can do with him.
    • Thank you. You guys are too kind, but I truly appreciate the support.    Perhaps I am being too hard on myself… But my point still stands that anyone who makes it to the NFL, whether practice squad or starter, has achieved something prestigious that only a rare few ever achieve.    Over a million high schoolers play. Of those only 7.8 percent move on to play in college.    Over 80,000 people play in college. Only 0.4 percent make it to opening day in the NFL.    Only 2,016 players make it to NFL rosters. 
    • Davis had a very good rookie season after being drafted in the 2nd round out of Ohio State (I believe).   Graded in the 70’s against both the run and pass.      But his last three years have been disappointing, as he’s graded in the mid-50’s.   The reason I’m so interested in this signing, is (A) I’m sure it was heavily influenced by the new DL coach, Partridge.   And (B) we’re paying him 2/14.  I don’t recall that kind of money ever being given to a basic backup before.   Don’t think Davis is here to push Stewart, the Colts just signed him to 3/39.  That tells me the Colts defensive staff sees him differently.   I don’t know what the plan the staff has come up with for Davis, but I’m looking forward to watching it play out.
