His 3 cone was impressive. But he's only 200 pounds and basically ran a 4.5, and put up 10 reps on the bench press. Lol. 

 

Schefter just tweeted - One NFL GM said Christian McCaffrey "had the best combine workout I've seen. Ever." It's one reason McCaffrey likely to go in top 10. 

 

Methinks your judgement is clouded by what you want the Colts to do - or in this case not do.

He's built like a slot wideout.

Putting lol at the end of all your posts pertaining running backs doesn't your opinion on them more credence. 

You really felt the need to quote me and say that?

Like I said. 200 pounds and basically a 4.5. 10 reps. Its my opinion, you and Shefter don't have to agree.

It was not Schefter saying it.  He was quoting a GM in the league and his professional opinion directly refutes your thoughts.  

 

Like I said - the thought of a RB in the first for the Colts is so distasteful to you that you seem to be inventing reasons that it won't happen.

Literally all I did was list his measurables. And it's literally nothing but rumors right now. Stop quoting and trying to argue with me based off your assumption lmao.

So you would prefer that only those who agree with your takes quote you?

For sure.  It is an art and not an exact science.  And this GM could very well be wrong regarding McCaffrey.  But his saying that the McCaffrey workout he saw was the best that he ever witnessed is a pretty strong statement.  And I only mentioned because it directly refuted Majin's attempt to minimize his workout.

Everyone Lies This time of year. Everyone.

 

 

That said, I have an odd suspicion we get McCaffrey at 15.

If we traded up for McCaffrey, I wouldn't watch football this year, that's how much of a disaster it would be. Basically a better Darren Sproles that this coaching staff would misuse anyway.

 

I see him being a slot receiver. Who gets 5-6 carries a game, and some end around's, kick/punt returns.....Heck no. 2nd RD talent, who IMO will be good, but not worth even a 1st RD pick. We have WAY too many needs to give up picks unless its for a Von Miller, Kahlil Mack type talent.

I don't care much about the comments  about Jersey sales.....          

 

What-Freaking-Ever!!

 

But I do care about the comments implying McCaffrey won't be successful simply because he's white.

 

How is that different from saying that a quarterback can't be successful if he's white.    And while that's not said very much anymore,  in my lifetime (I'm now 60) that was a commonly held belief.     

 

You judge on talent and character,  not skin.

 

As I've said in other posts,  if McCaffrey disappoints, or is even a flat-out bust,  it won't be because he's white.   It'll be because he's hurt or is used badly.

 

Come on now....

 

Who said he was going to fail because he's white?

      Did you miss Buckner's new extension? The one with the large signing bonus and void years?

      I like Latu, but don't you think there's a significant number of teams that are scared off by his medical? And then a couple more who will downgrade him because of his age?

      Colts have the 15th pick in the draft. (MERGE)

      By Jason_ · Posted

      yeah pretty much what I figured.  If they are going to start mixing up coverages and running more man coverage, then sure grab a CB in the first.  If they're going to continue being a mostly zone team regardless, then no, no round 1 CB.

      The mission is to build something that has us competing with the best of the best. This is a season for AR to get tuned up.  Who do you think will be the right guys on our roster now to take us to an AFC Championship game?  It's not Smith, Fries, and we likely can't get there with more than 2-3 of our current back seven.  I would offer Buckner to the Bears as part of a trade for 9. Eberflus wants to have a great D so maybe he bites.  Then hopefully trade back 2-3 spots for a good pick.  I'd love to come out of the draft with Latham and the Byron Murphy II. And come out of the draft with RG Bebe.

      I think he's a little overrated as a corner prospect. Doesn't mean I don't like him, I do. But I was hearing about how incredibly athletic he is, people were talking about him like he was a lockdown defender, then I watch him for a couple games and I don't see that. So at first I was pretty down on him. Then I went back and watched him with my expectations much lower, and I see what he has to offer.   He's definitely athletic, but not the standout, premier athlete people were making him out to be at first. Watching his high school basketball videos helped me contextualize his athleticism, there's plenty of burst there. He has some struggles flipping his hips and staying connected late in the down. He's feisty and physical, plays the run with enthusiasm, tackles well, and he has explosiveness. He's better in shorter areas when he doesn't have to try to keep up with a receiver with elite speed. I know he ran 4.43, but it wasn't a pro day, it was a private workout. I discount timed speeds at pro days, and definitely at private workouts. To me, he's closer to 4.5 than 4.4, and that's what I expected when watching him play.   To me, he's a safety/nickel prospect, not a boundary corner. And if he were looked at as a boundary corner, I think his arm length would probably disqualify him for the Colts, at least in the first round. And I think the Colts already view corner as a Day 2 position. He's said all the right things about playing multiple positions. And while I don't know how the new rules will affect kickoffs, I think it makes sense to have good options at returner, so that helps his stock as well. But I think the second round is the right range for him. If we drafted him, I think we still need a boost on the outside.
