\m/COLTS\m/

 

People were having trouble doing the @\m/COLTS\m/ thing so I decided to change it.

I liked your M Colts M call sign actually because it reminds of Maverick & Goose from the movie "Top Gun." I have a thing for fighter jet maneuvers in the sky at incredible speed. 

 

I'll adjust accordingly Gozer but SW1 will still refer to you as MCM. I'm pretty set in my ways brother & I have enough password or code stuff to remember in 2017 anyway. 

 

Regarding draft selections, I don't really play that game. I just wait to see who Jimmy picked up & wait for Sept. to roll around. Carry on...

Almost took him for the Texans.

Me too.... I actually researched him a little bit and saw that he's  not related to the famous Tony Siragusa . Good pick.

[chad72]

I can't believe Curtis Samuel is still available at the end of the 3rd, I almost can bet that given Percy Harvin's and Tyreek Hill's success, he is probably gone by the end of the 2nd.

 

The Eagles or Titans would be lucky to have him here.

Someone will fall in every draft, whether it's Samuel or someone else. It'll never go according to plan because team's boards don't match and also don't match the draft analysts boards. We will all be saying that about somebody this year in a couple weeks on day 2.

Hard to know where to play him.  Not great hands,  but great speed.   

[NFLfan]

We could possibly end this round tonight or tomorrow morning.

 

How much time does Stitches have?

He doesn't fit a specific role

It is less than that now because when I wrote the post that you quoted, it had already been two hours since the last selection was made. I believe he has less than 40 minutes.

 

Who do you like for Philly? They drafted Mixon and a CB. How about one of the WRs here?

Time is up for Philly's pick. 

 

What about Samuel for Philly here? He is BPA and WR is a need for the Eagles.

Why? They have Jeffery Torry Smith Jordan Matthews

Eddie vandores or however it's spelled would fit to team with Cox

Eddie Vanderdoes.  Big body in the middle of the D.

Bubble screens, reverses, slant and go, he has done all of those at Ohio State. The one thing he did at OSU that he won't be able to do in the NFL is being used as an RB like Randall Cobb, IMO.

 

We saw what Tyreek Hill did with limited touches for the Chiefs, from special teams to reverses to slant and go.

I'd agree with this because they did lose Bennie Logan.

Yea that was weird

[21isSuperman]

Looks like Vanderdoes is the consensus pick. 

 

@OffensivelyPC and the Titans are up

Agreed he can do a ton but doesn't have a specific position that most team likes

I am not saying he will be a bust but just why he has fallen

Eagles and Titans have pretty decent OCs, IMO, so I would not be surprised if he goes round 2 to one of them. Teams may use him like Sproles, if not as well as Cobb. Yeah, I hear you, that is why real GMs are paid to project.

Where ever he goes he will be a luxury pick

The word may be complementary piece, not the center piece. Teams looking for that 3rd wide out, teams that have good running games you have to honor for reverses to become effective, teams that have athletic OL to block for screens in space etc. will be the ones looking at him, IMO.

Coaching also has to maximize talent, we Colts fans probably know a thing or two about underutilized options on O, don't we? 

[NFLfan]

 

@chad72 I can't remove the mention.

 

Anyway, since I have your attention, did you look back at last year's draft. 21 had asked which team we believed had the best draft. What did you think? I don't believe you responded.

I was thinking about over projection of draftees, UDFAs and FAs

No, the one we all participated in last year.
