2019 NFL Draft Thread

Pass rushers are clearly very valuable right now. I think they come off faster than expected tonight because of that. Look at the draft capital teams are trading for proven pass rushers and the miney they are willing to spend. You get a top pass rusher this year, you get good production for 3 or 4 years and a hell of a trading asset at the end of their rookie deal if you don't want to fork the money over.

Today is like what Christmas was for me as a kid. That's the excitement level here!

 

Agreed. I wrote that this morning on the Vikings Daily Open thread.

 

But this is the quietest it has been on the Colts forum on draft day.

Devin White is a reach. When you have several pass rushers available, you don't pass it up. You could have signed a free agent linebacker for a LOT less than what the top rushers were going for... 

 

I think he is a great player. But I don't think the value is there over the pass rushers that are gifted to the next several picks now...

Someone's going to get Rosen for a steal. With picking Murray, Rosen essentially doesn't have a logical roster spot and the leverage isn't there anymore. You can't have the QB you drafted in the 1st last year backing up this years 1st when they have completely different styles.

 

Rosen or Daniel Jones to the Giants? Maybe?

    • This contract makes me think about the other receivers who will now get contracts and how are the teams going to go about it:   Jamarr Chase:  he’s definitely getting $28million or more.  I don’t see Higgins staying unless there are numerous reworks and pay cuts from other teammates.  I’m sure Boyd and Burton will be their WR2 and WR3 in the future.  Bengals will definitely pick up his 5th year option, but what will happen in 2026?   CeeDee Lamb:  he’s getting paid also.  He’s gotten better every year and last year was a MONSTER year for him.  Let’s see what Jerry does.  He has Dak and Ceedee to pay and both are going to command some big contracts.     seems like aiyuk is the last one because I’m pretty sure anyone else will either have their 5th year option picked up or have gotten paid.   props to Ballard for getting Pittman paid before the top dogs like JJ set the market.    
    • Yes agreed Well Deserved!    I have been hoping that Granson can turn into a player like Clark  
    • Gotcha. Wentz was  one of the most talented qbs in the league based on physical traits. The Colts, in their assessment of Wentz, didn't realize they were not getting the same player mentally. I am not a Wentz apologist but I do,  and said it at the time, the Oline needed to take some responsibility in what he became. He was battered and bruised by the lack of protection and I think the beating he took in Philly and the early one he took with the Colts, knocked whatever was left of a starting qb in that body and mind. The point I am making is this. We can say he is our franchise LT and say he played really well and is deserved of a  big 2nd contract.  If one were just to look at it objectively.  Say fans and Colts media have him rated as a 7.5 and based on Cosell's comments he has him as a 5.0. Do you think Cosell could be so way off in his evaluation of Raimann? That is just what I found interesting. I mean I could say Cosell say that Raimann was say average and go okay, we can live with that. To say that he is not the answer and/or has not panned out is a different monster all together.
