Yup, time will tell. I responded in the other thread in more detail. -

IDK man. I don't think they are in the same city, let alone the same ballpark. Leonard processes things much faster than Oke, and is also much much twitchier. Oke has always struggled a lot vs the run, especially in traffic, and last year, took a step back in coverage too. I think that has a lot to do with playing more rip/liz and him getting lost in the handoffs, but even giving him that slack, he's still far from a 3 down guy IMO. I've seen him struggle shedding blocks and getting caught in traffic way too much. And I could maybe understand that a bit if we played mostly 4-3-4, but we're really in a 4-2-5 the majority of the time (meaning he's playing a hybrid sorta inside/outside LB). And I know PFF isn't everything, but.... DL 72.6 (2020), 78.7, 81.6 BO 49.6, 78.4 And keep in mind he played a lot less snaps (pass downs only) when he attained 78.4 in 19. Big step back in 20 when his snaps increased. IMO, we were better off in 19 with Walker getting most of the snaps, and Oke limited to passing downs. I wouldn't be shocked if we took a LB in the 4th or 5th this year (if Walker walks). -
I don't get why there are a lot of people on this forum that keep entertaining the idea of either signing another RB or drafting one. Okay maybe you draft one in the 6th for "depth or special teams" however the Colts DO NOT need a RB. Taylor, Hines, and Wilkins is all that is needed.

I agree we don't disagree, except really on the details on how it would work. On the draft class in general, it's a really good class for two positions IMO. WR and T. I think we can get away with a T in the 2nd, and be just fine with Nelson playing on the rook's hip. Might take the rook half the season to adjust, but again, Nelson makes it easier just being there. I say that because I think we need to go DE in R1, instead of using 2nd and 3rd rounders on developmental DEs like we've done in Ballard's tenure here. It's just hard to get a 3 down DE after the 1st. T on the other hand, looks pretty good in the 2nd..... That assumes they evaluate and pick the right one of course. They've done good in that area (Smith), so I'm going to trust they can. And not saying QBs are the only leaders in the locker room. I'm just saying comparing Brady and Manning is a horrible comp. QB is unlike any position. And Watts injury situation the last 2 years makes the gamble pretty big. Like I said, I'd love to have him if we can fill the other holes. It's really not that hard to look at the holes, and do the math. -

He's got his size going against him, but man is he an athletic freak. I'm hoping he has worked to pack some good weight on himself, while at the same time, not losing speed. He's obviously got high value on STs, I just hope he doesn't lose that value while trying to make himself better suited for CB play. While I know he's a total wildcard, still can't help being excited about his potential.
