@Qwiz How are the Texans rooks looking to you? In the game tonight, I saw that LB Dylan Cole is playing for the Texans. How is he doing? Will he make the team? I wanted the Vikes to draft him late or sign him as an UDFA.

Hey there! I don't know too much about him myself, but I'm not sure how much playing time he got tonight. I looked up his stat line and it looks like he got a tackle tonight. I think he's gonna have a hard time seeing the field with Cunningham, Cush, and of course McKinney eating up snaps but if you like the guy, I'm sure he has something to offer. I'll be keeping an eye out for him when we play our next game for sure.

  First impressions....

 

DeShaun Watson:   very athletic..but he's got to get over 'running around and trying to make a play'

That's college football and I dont think it works very long in the NFL.

Obviously a really good scrambler and runner..but he's not all that accurate...which was the scouting report.

Just half of one game...but Tom Savage probably didn't lose his job

 

Christian McCaffrey....just a natural runner....used the blocking well when he had it..

He does seem small..doesn't he?       didnt break many tackles...if any

They didn't throw a pass to him..not one...he didn't run back a kick (he shouldn't until the season starts)

I didn't see very much yet but I wouldn't play him much more in the pre-season.

I will track all the big names. I am an Irish fan so I keep up with our players. Technically  he was a rookie last year but Jaylon Smith is the guy I most want to see. I will  watch him. Kizer will be easy to follow on SC. 

 

Onwuala and Cole both UDFA's from ND i was hoping we might look at. I'll keep. an eye out for them.

 

Then I will keep an eye on guys I was looking at for us  day 3. Guys like Johnson G Elder Kazee King CB's, Lawson Carraway OLB  McNichols Hop and Jones RB then Blair and Gedeon ILB. Those are names off the top of my head I thought Gedeon was a real sleeper on that Michigan D. 

 

Jaylon is the guy I want to see He didn't play in the HOF game 

 

Vikings fans were not too pleased when Gedeon was drafted in the 4th round. However he has surprised us. Let's see how he plays in the 3rd game. 

 

The rookies on the Vikings who are looking the best are: 

 

Tashawn Bower -- DE, went undrafted (very impressive so far)

Dalvin Cook

Jaleel Johnson -- DT 

Gedeon -- LB 

Pat Elflein -- C/G

Ifeadi Odenigbo --DE

Danny Isidora -- G

    • Im not certain if there will even be any room for Pierce bc the 4th and 5th receivers need to have special teams ability. I think AD will show enough to gain the Colts confidence. You know Dulin will be there. So from there you're competing with Gould and whoever else. You know Gould plays special teams.  Going to be interesting what they have in mind.
    • Latu's addition also tells me that Gus is not doggedly adhering to his historical "Cover-3 Leo" defense.  Latu is not a Leo.  He's not the undersized wide-9 OLB type playing in a 4-3.  He's a bona fide 4-3 DE.  I'm expecting Gus to even further move away from his historical base defense.  (I never believed that he was going to cling to it come h3ll or high water.  That his coverages last year were simplified perforce, due to the inexperience of the guys he had on the field.)  I'm excited to see what we look like defensively with the new guys inserted.
    • It's about who else is Free Agents vs cap space, propensity to pay our own, can we find better 2-way(run-pass) production for less, is it worth a gamble? Fact that we have the top defensive player on our board from the draft under cheap contract, makes it easier to offset funds. Like I said we can almost have 4 DEs with the funds paid to Bosa by himself. The fact that all I hear from the Colts is glowing reviews about him.   In my opinion the Colts brought Latu in to start opposite of Paye, in the long term. Ebukam will be 31 when he's due for a new contract in 2026.     Just because we exercise the option, doesn't mean we can't work on an extension if his trajectory shows continued growth.     Good thing is we will know in a few hours.
    • Of course and with his, these are just 19-20 year old kids... who wants to be accountable for everything they did at that age.  AD will forever remember that Ballard passed on him as if he didn’t care if he got him or the next guy.  Ballard throwing a cussing rant that got some extra playtime was Mandatory. In the end though it all falls on Mitchell to live a good life and work hard. 
    • Lenny Moore as well- yet Indy Fans don’t even put him on the list of Best Colts Running Backs. Some of his NFL TD Records were just broken in the past few years, after standing since the 1960s.
