Colts select Jacob Eason QB Washington

[CR91]

Thoughts

[GoColts8818]

Well I was wrong.  I am not a big fan of this pick with that said I am going to pull like crazy for him since he’s here.

[Fisticuffs111]

Meh

[Derakynn]

Ehh.

[James]

He’ll get the opportunity to learn under Rivers for a year or two. 
 

Jacoby is gone.

[Smonroe]

So far, ESPN hasn’t noticed, lol!

[ColtV]

With no qb under contract after this season it was absolutely necessary to draft one. I'm not sure he ever gets a chance to start, but hopefully can be a capable backup

[WarGhost21]

He’s a good developmental guy. Can make every throw on the field, and I have him ranked much higher than Fromm, so good pick IMO

[The Fish]

good value on a lotto ticket scratch.. I think his ball and accuracy looks better than Love's frankly.. cool with it

[Gigc]

YEAAAHHH baby,

 

listen, he's got more raw arm talent than anybody on our roster. 

if we can coach him up, he could be a steeeeal in the 4th round.

 

this is an interesting 4th round pick

[Valpo2004]

I like the pick.  He has the arm to develop into a starter.  If he doesn't than he is just a 4th round pick.  We cut one in camp once.

Same here.  After watching jet O’Sullivans breakdown he was one qb I didn’t want but I am sure that I’m wrong

[Shadow_Creek]

Goodbye Brissett 

[Gigc]

It seemed like they're were talking and chewing this over for a long time. 

can't wait to hear the back story

[MarquisJ]

I like this pick in the fourth

[ColtStrong2013]

develop the kid... 

[HungarianColtsFan]

We will see how far can he go here. I wonder what it means for other QBs on the roster. Kelly  will more likely be cut, or Jacoby traded?

[krunk]

Eason has some nice tools to work with in my opinion after i watched a couple clips yesterday. I can see what they saw.

[Smonroe]

This is how he’s described on CBS Sports....another big   

 

Jacob Eason QB, WASH

Height: 6-6, Weight: 231

Play-through-the-whistle mauler in the run game with minimal effectiveness (and experience) in pass protection. Heavy-footed and lacks lateral agility or recovery skill. Very one-dimensional player. (Chris Trapasso)

A

[r a y s k i]

Arm talent wise, according to scouts, he is top10 in the league day 1.

It's a value pick, punt on a qb down the field. Fair enough. 

[Crush22]

[zibby43]

Steal.  Cannon laser rocket arm. 

[GoColts8818]

The biggest problem is he lacks mobility and does not do well under pressure.  So the Colts will have some work to do.  The good news is that he has some good teachers in Reich and Rivers.

Hope so.

[Four2itus]

I wanted Luton or Eason. All I can say now is.......

 

YEAAAAA BABY!

[rock8591]

Good pick in the 4th round, low risk, extremely high reward.

 

Would we rather have our history of 4th rounders, e.g. Montori Hughes, Josh Chapman, Zach Banner? ;)

If Jacoby is gone thank god if he is willing to put the work in he will be a good QB but if not he will be cut within 2 years.

[Gigc]

seriously.

first round traits in size and arm. great value in fourth round

we'll see

 Who is to say he will be better than those guys? 

 

That being said, I am kind of indifferent on the pick

[Nate!]

Who gets cut in the summer?  Jacoby, Kelly, or Eason?

I think its him vs Kelly for 3rd qb and Jacoby stays.

Banner is atleast still in the league with Steelers.

[Patrick Miller]

I hope Rivers takes him under his wing!

Too bad Jacoby blows.

[Four2itus]

His size and release reminds me of Vinny Testeverde. 

[Fluke_33]

Can he play special teams?   Jk

[Valpo2004]

I love this.  He has the arm talent to be a starter but needs some work.  Of it doesn't work out he is a 4th round pick.  We are not attached at the hip to him like we would a higher pick.

 

 

[aaron11]

he was my favorite qb after the first round, but thats not saying a lot.  didnt think much of the others like fromm or hurts

 

i would cut jacoby next and keep chad.  JB makes too much, chad hardly anything 

[Matthew Gilbert]

Not a bad pull in the 4th. Hopefully he can develop into something.
