They still don't have a good head of the snake to navigate the ship. 

They are ok sucking until the right guy is there. Until then they will just stick pile talent and when a qb steps in the team should be loaded.

I guess Saban didn't do enough

 

Hard to evaluate if one player is carried by the talent of others or not when there is lots of it, which is why their players are greater value than upside talent in the NFL draft.

Fellow Colts fans if Foster (by some unforeseen factor) is still there in second round despite possible concerns so we take him ?

 

If he is there at No.46, you draft him and put him in a counseling session with that hospital worker he chewed out, LOL :)

It was for Buckeyes too, no Crimson Tide or Buckeye in the top 10

Both teams with tons of talented players but injured players coming into the draft. Guys that play through injuries because 5 star recruits waiting to take their spot so they played thorough injuries.

 I don't think players can be carried by the talent of others at most positions

Yeah, even Ray Lewis' efficiency was increased by Ngata keeping OL and TEs off Lewis so he could do his job still at a high level. That is what I am talking about. If you have great DL, you are free to roam and make plays, lot of their LBs are not on an island like the CBs whose talent can shine 1-on-1 and thus get more help than LBs in other FBS schools with not as much DL talent.

True..but when confrontations come on the field..you have to make plays...you 'win' or are 'defeated' by the guy you confront.

 

..and the SEC is talent laden....I'm just saying that you have plenty of opportunity to make accurate evaluations against quality foes

Too early to tell but Cleveland/SF who both traded back then up again later might have had the most impressive drafts if things work out.

They both picked up a handful of picks trading down and didn't spend much trading back up. Not too shabby..

    • I think odunze, Harrison,  and nabors are all better than pittman that's for sure and there there are several  wrs better than pierce as well as well as many corners that are better  than what we have.
    • Sure alot can get a 1000 yards, but what makes wrs elite are the ones who score alot and catch first downs. Colts don't have a wr on the roster that scores alot. Pittman is a wr 2 in my opinion. Pierce a wr 4 with wr 2 potential. Downs wr 2/3. Neither one of those guys are marvin Harrison  or Reggie Wayne. None of our safeties are Bob sanders. None of our edge rushers are freeney or Mathis. No Nick harpers, Kelvin Hayden, marlin Jackson, or vontaome Davis at cb So we can stand to improve  at wr, s, pass rush,and cb. We have alot of solid  guys sprinkled across the roster but very few I'd consider  elite. Buckner, Nelson, and a healthy Taylor  are among the elite. That is why I'm hoping for a game changing player in the first round. Most rookie corners aren't  that.
    • Two relevant points.   Regarding the team ALWAYS going to be run first team, RB shelf life is short and JT has already played a lot of years compared to average peak time for RBs, so there aren't many years in him into the future unless he goes on like Adrian Peterson. This team was run first because QBs weren't good, was it run first with Andrew Luck? I don't think this team is going to be run-first offense ALWAYS, especially after drafting AR, while expecting him to grow to be a franchise QB-level passer.   Yes, it's all true that Jefferson got drafted at 22,Ceedee went 17, Juedy went 15 , Aiyuk 25 and Higgins 33 but GM has gotta pick the right guy at right time and other teams shouldn't get to the right guy before Colts do.   For every Jefferson at #22 example, there's a Jalen Reagor at #21. The toughest part in picking Jefferson at #22 is not picking a bust like Reagor and missing out on Jefferson. As you go away from the top of the Draft, hitting on busts is more likely than exactly drafting the perfect right guy. Drafting isn't that easy, without the help of hindsight.    Right now, We can't name which of the WRs in upcoming draft will be a good value, good return pick, even though this draft class is super, super deep on WRs. Of course, 4 years later in 2028, everyone can point out Jefferson or Higgins or Lamb or Aiyuk of 2024 WR Draft Class. 
    • No idea why you can't PM me. I did pm u a week or two ago. No idea if u received it.
