Hear Todd McShay say today on NFL Live that Griifin did his own rap routine before his pro day. McShay said he didn't care for that much but went on to say his day went well.

Hmm, an athlete who likes to groove. That reminds me of someone...

^ Dallas precedes to dominate the Eagles after this, so if this was McNabb's attempt to get his team pumped, it didn't work!...

^ I don't know whats going on here... The expression of his teammates face on the right is priceless.

ESPN is showing the backside pick 6 vs. USC on a spider 3 Y banana clip constantly. But Gruden was right, the FB was open and the #1, but Luck invented his own progression, looked backside and with dire results at a crucial time. Players do make mistakes, but I'll bet he makes way more fantastic plays than those like this. I wonder if Gruden would have done the same to Peyton?

I saw the one with RGIII. I don't remember who was interviewing him, but he showed RGIII a play on the whiteboard, then asked RGIII a bunch of unrelated questions, then he told RGIII to draw up the route he showed him earlier. RGIII did it to perfection, but one thing had me bothered...

RGIII has a tendency to dip his head and look bored, and kind of roll his head to the side sometimes, as if he thinks he's better than everyone else. He has that silent protest attitude about him. RGIII doesn't smile as much as Luck does, and RGIII just feels like he's going through the motions to get paid, whereas Luck seems to be having fun with all this. I just get a feeling RGIII is seeking the NFL for money, whereas Luck is seeking the NFL to make a name for himself.

I guess only time will tell...

I believe you were watching Steve Mariuci in one of his pre-draft interviews. I thought RGIII seemed smart. I honestly don't think we could go wrong with either of these guys. It's a great time to be a Colt's fan

I think both guys will be good NFL QBs. I don't get the RG3 hate. He has worked hard and when you see clips of him from Baylor, he really seems to be having fun playing the game. While I think Luck will be the better QB of the two, I still believe RG3 will have a lot of success. In videos, you never know what really happened because of editing. In the Mooch video, RG3 could have been blinking, but the clip was inadvertently edited to show a tiny part where it looks like RG3 was blinking and looks disinterested.

As for Cam, I think people force him to be fake. He has so much talent that some people want him to be a bust because they get the perception that he doesn't work hard. So anywhere he goes, he has to put on a fake smile and pretend he is enjoying every single second of it because if he isn't smiling for one second, people will say he is unhappy and unappreciative of what he has. Let the guy have a private life. Let him figure out what kind of QB he is going to be. Let him make a name for himself before putting him in every commercial and in every news segment. Let him be himself

I watched Gruden's qb camp last night and was very impressed with Luck. He is very intelligent and carries himself very well. Very humble guy. We are fortunate to have the opportunity to draft this guy. I just hope the front office doesn't mess this up. Hopefully, after they have the private workout with him they will be ready to commit to Luck as the next quarterback of the colts.

      Chris Ballard on Pat McAfee Show about the draft

      By Moosejawcolt · Posted

      I think based on how they run this defense and player importance.  I truly believe that Murphy and Mitchell could have the same grade, but he is man corner and Murphy is a 3 tech. The 3tech is like the qb of this defense. Everything runs through him. Murphy would have been the pick and I could have lived with that. I really wonder what the Colts offered to move up ?  We will probably find out some day. I bet if it was as low as # 4, I bet it was this years #15 and 2 other 1st rounders.

      They couldn't have known they were the only ones interested in Penix though. I had heard that LV was also interested, but there's always rumors at this time.   No guarantee there will be a QB they like as much as Penix next year, or the following year. Looking at the premium picks it required to get QB 4-6 in this draft, it could be a really steep price to move from the mid 20s to get a QB too.    I guess if they think they can be a playoff team with Cousins for 2-3 years, then there is some logic to making sure you get the guy when you can. Plus, Penix is a bit of a developmental prospect, so Cousins buys time for him to develop, while also allowing them to compete/contend. It's dual paths.   I don't know if I see a collision course with Cousins. He's a really good QB and he will be the starter for at least the next two years (first two seasons are both gtd), but prob 3 years. I am sure that is understood in the locker room. After that, they re-evaluate and there's a chance they are able to make a smooth transition. Plus the young skill position players will be in their primes and in a better position to support a young QB.   It's an interesting approach. No idea if it will work ahd might be overkill. But it's far better than running out Desmond Ridder and Marcus Mariota. I just don't see passing on Latu, Odunze, Murphy, etc. as some move that will drastically alter the franchise three years from now.

      Yeah, I don't think a lot of teams wanted to budge who were in the top 10. I know Lombardi said they were 12 first rounders and Ballard said 19-21. Maybe Lombardi was more right and teams just didn't want to get out of the top 12-15 spots?

      You know that saying... The player makes the number, the number doesn't make the player.

      When you do sit back and analyze the draft most of the picks in front of the Colts make sense. 1) Williams. Not a fan of  the player but I get it. 2) Daniels- Need a qb and #2 rated qb 3) Maye-I think the Giants and another team wanted him bad but Patriots just decided to get him and not move back. 4)They needed to pair Harrison with the midget and justify that stupid contract they gave Murray. Give Murray the most polished and tallest receiver in the draft lol.  5)Harbaugh loves the trenches and  wouldn't pass on Ault. Look at Harbaugh's history in building a team.  6) I think the Giants really wanted Maye and were trying to move up but Patriots were not budging. They picked best player available in Nabors and hoping it will help Jones and it wont. 7) Need to protect Levis as the GM picked him last year and need to see if he is the guy 8)Now this is where it went off the rails and stupidest pick in NFL history I think. I had the best D player going here 9) They wanted to pair the 3rd best wr on their board with Williams and I called it when people said the Colts would trade with the Bears and grab a receiver at #9. I get it but would have picked Murphy as it is a perfect fit for Eberflus' defense.  10) Minny loves McCarthy and moved up one spot to make sure they got him. 11) Picked best OT on the board as they need to protect Rodgers upright as the coach and GM will be gone if they dont make the play offs 12) If he was still there, Nix is a perfect qb for what Sean wants 13)Bowers is elite but luxury pick. I would have went best D player on the board. They drafted a tight end high last year. I thought a dumb pick 14) Saints could have picked best player and they went Oline so cannot fault him 15) Ballard should have bought a lottery ticket the day of the draft because Latu fell into his lap. No need to think it over just turn the card!
