Colts select Adonai Mitchell WR Texas (Merged)

[stitches]

If I remember correctly the whole Colts coaching staff+Ballard was there at Texas pro day - Steichen, JBC, Reggie Wayne... 

[CR91]

He said he's * and left it up to interpretation 😂. Praying it's not about the colts and instead about being drafted the 11th WR

My gut after these first two picks is that Ballard will be signing a vet safety and a CB after the draft. Will probably spend more on safety. Thought this tweet from Diggs was interesting.

 

 

Diggs went to Texas, so it makes sense.

I think he's * he fell that far and said he's grateful to the Colts for picking him.

I know several athletes that are diabetics, even some Type 1. It's not the problem it used to be.

I'm a diabetic. I know it's not a problem at all but some posters will find any excuse to say fire Ballard.

Mitchell's issue is that he apparently doesn't manage it well and it affects his attitude/effort until he eats. I think we'll have a plan for him.

[ColtStrong2013]

Love it. Go get cam hart now

Also.. Mods, can we merge the Mitchell threads?

I think we got a C grade in the facilities rankings for the Colts. 

 

Probably nothing good to eat in the building, Mitchell is doomed .

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Good stuff here. Uncontrolled diabetes does cause you to have mood swings. I assume colts nutritionist will help him with this.

Love the pick.

 

No risk, no reward. Sure, he may have a history of some issues but is a great player in a premium position. In previous drafts, I can see Ballard making a "safe" pick; e.g. Cooper Beebe (G), Malachi Corley (WR)...but this pick has a much higher reward.

This is where someone on the board says 'he's not a 10 though'... Lol

[Dobbinblitz]

Reggie will be a great mentor:

 

Following his selection, NFL Media reported that Mitchell's pre-draft experience was a bit turbulent. He reportedly didn't interview well and teams were unable to get a good feel for him, which contributed to his stock falling.

[Indyfan4life]

Richardson/Taylor/Pittman/Downs/Mitchell. 
 

whewwwwww this offense is gonna be * wild. 

[stitches]

BTW from what I gather "Adonai" is one of the names for God in Hebrew. And in orthodox Jewish circles the name is considered too holy to even say outside of a prayer. 

[James]

He seems to have what some people refer to as “dawg mentality”.

He snatches balls WAY outside of his frame.

He apparently has a habit of taking plays off when they ball isn’t going his way.

Reggie will bring the playmaker out in him. 

 

and if not, butt meet bench. Butt kicked out the door and teams will pass you around like a rag doll they don’t really want but feel they need to try and wash.

I’m happy to have someone like this FINALLY! I thought it was a foregone conclusion he was going pick 1 today. He has high WR1 potential & Ballard struck. 
 

Will be interesting to see what we do here in round 3. A secondary player is needed but we already have so many young players. We could use a developmental offensive guard/center & a  RB.

Running back is kind of a sneaky need.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Out offense is going to be scary. Add the TE to what we have it’s going to be fun.

He has access to a nutritionist, dietitian, some of the NFLs best doctors. He’s going to be just fine.

Love the pick.

 

Every team needs at least ONE prima donna who is cocky and can make plays. Imagine if the Seattle Supersonics never had Gary Payton? Or if the Milwaukee Bucks never had Sam Cassell?

[Dobbinblitz]

Waldman list Mitchell’s comps as Terry McCaurin and D.J. shark.
He has Mitchell rated ahead of Legette.

[Patrick Miller]

I think Tree is going to be a big factor this year. Put me in the camp that thinks this offense could be scary.

[GoColts8818]

He is very sure of himself I’ll say that.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Colts just traded up.

Fantastic value pick.  So many outlets had him rate 5th - 8th best WR in the draft.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Colts just took a OT

This does scare me a bit. I know how it is. My dad and younger brother is a type 1. While my dad does manage it well.. there’s still some days he gets angry and “blacks out” or can’t pay attention well and zones out. While my brother didn’t manage it well unfortunately passed away a couple years ago at 24.. bless his heart. I like this pick and I support it 110% I hope it works out! And all the best to him! 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Holy cow
