Colts Select Laiatu Latu Edge UCLA


CR91

Recommended Posts

Love this pick, but it obviously is a risk. If he stays healthy, he was easily the most skilled pass rusher in this draft and its not even close.

 

Pray he stays healthy, because if he does he is going to be a 12+ sack guy year after year.

They’re saying he’s one injury away from being out of the NFL. Are you kidding me?

So....like every player playing? That's not a reason to dismiss the pick. A good edge rusher is a need.

Love the pick!!!!

 

This guy will be our double digit sack guy for 10 years

History of neck injuries Ballard could’ve easily traded back here and still got this kid later. I think Ballard screwed the pooch on this one.

He'd probably be a top 10 pick if it wasn't for the injury history. I'm not saying I agree with the pick, but I understand it. 

Yeah they passed up players this year with torn Achilles.

    • I haven’t read that either nor do I believe he should ever play. I will say some positives about Sam though. I think he is on this roster bc of his mind. More I look into the guy the more I think he will be a coach one day. He understands the game and is extremely knowledgeable.  I suspect his true value to the team is in the QB room and the sidelines during the game. I encourage everyone to lookout for Sam during broadcast, he is on a tablet or talking through a play with Richardson or the coaches. 
    • Why are people so shocked the NFL refs were bad tonight this as been a ongoing thing for years. Unless they get accountability it'll continue to happen.
    • The value in return doesn’t outweigh the value he currently brings to the team. So no, if they were offering say maybe a 4th I’d be a bit more inclined to say pull the trigger but for a 6th it just isn’t worth it.
    • If I had to pick a position to address it most certainly would be CB. And I’d see what it would take to get Greg Newsome from Cleveland he’s about to play on his 5th year option so you’re not pressed to get a deal done right away. He’s only 24 so he still has ALOT of football left in him. I think he could be had for a 3rd round pick and that would be a hell of a win IMO. He doesn’t have the normal height profile that they have been drafting recently . But he has a Lengthy profile file that they have been looking for.  he is 6,0 192 lbs with a 74” wing span. He is quick , twitchy, moves well in space and has the ability to play both man and zone. He came from a scheme at Northwestern where they played a ton of Cover 3 , Quarters coverage and press man, he also played a ton of man coverage with Cleveland. He should be able to come in and be comfortable within the defensive system almost immediately. 
    • Injuries play a huge role in winning or losing.  Especially for the rest of the season.   Looks like the Colts get a couple of their starters back this week.  Much needed.
