Per Scouts, Inc

"Gordy has clean, quick footwork. He can be quick in transition and can drive on balls thrown in front of him with a decent burst to close. He looks a little tight in the hips when opening to run with receivers deep, and he lacks an extra gear to catch up when receivers gain a step on him. He shows good ball skills and will get elevation to high point the ball."

I suppose it could be for the following year, right? I don't know.

The conditional part means he probably at least has to make the team, and probably has to at least be on the active roster for a certain amount of time....or something like that.

Apparently the Rams thought they were deep at CB. This is from the Turf Show Times, a Rams blog:

"In training camp and the preseason this year, Gordy was part of a group of players vying for time in the third and fourth spots on the depth chart. With Bradley Fletcher injured, Gordy even got some work with the starters in the nickel package as the third corner."

It goes on to say that Fisher felt back in June that he had enough depth to trade a guy. Sure didn't look that way when we played them.

I hate that we keep giving up draft picks for players that more then likely wont be around for long. we are rebuilding this team for the long haul, and many pieces are needed to do that. Its not like we are going for one last grasp before falling apart. These draft picks will be missed.

Oh, so he was brought in to boost Luck's confidence.

Never heard of him... We just keep shipping out late round draft picks lol.

It'll be interesting to see if any of Grigson's trades work out. He's definitely more active than I thought he'd be.

First trades with Eagles, now Rams.... I'm looking for a trade with the Steelers next week, Redskins, then Bengals. lol

He was the starting nickelback for the Rams this preseason behind Finnegan and Jenkins. He played in 14 games last year with the rams starting 9 games ended the season with 53 tackles, 5 pass defensed and 3 interceptions. So I see a potential #2 if he beat out King but a for sure nickelback in my eyes I guess

Yeah, but they've all been 'Money Ball' types of moves. Not jumping on the big FA, just little trade ups whenever and wherever he can make them.

There was a lot of missed tackles by our CBs in that Steelers game, I don't know if this kid is any better, but I love how he's trying to address a glaring weakness on the team.

I have no problem with it either. Just find it funny.

I look at it this way we got a young cb(25) with 9 games of starters experience for a late draft pick(has to be our 6th round pick we got with Winston justice) so we basically drafted a cb with some experience starting which is better than any 6th round cb you will find in the draft. Hit or miss move by Grigson but that's what 6th round picks are so at least he has some experience and is just 25

Scratch that 6th round pick stuff it's a pick in 2014.probably still a 6th or 7th round pick so I don't really care right now in 2012 lol. Hope he can produce at nickelback and get some production to start of with

      If the Colts lose against the Bears.

      By ImissPeyton18 · Posted

      The Colts, desperate for a long term solution at Quarterback, picked one in a miserable draft for qb,s. Should have went with another left tackle or defense. Should have spent thier money on Carr or Mayfield. this would have locked the position down for at least 5 or 6 years. By then maybe another prospect will come along or at least be in position to make a better decision. For gods sake, who thought it was a good idea to pick a player with so few tools and experience. He is not only a young rookie ,he is new to the position of quarterback in college much less the NFL. Yes he is gifted, he can throw the ball a mile. So could I at 22 years old but doing it in professional football no way.

      I mean, may it take longer for AR to reach his full potential because of his age, rawness, and lack of experience….maybe yes maybe be no, but that’s for any qb.  There’s maybe one qb every few or so years that comes in and is ready to go.  Look at the past 5-10 drafts and you’ll see what I’m saying.  Even Pat Mahomes had to sit before he touched the field.  Trust me, it’s a short list.     NFL fans (and teams alike) have been spoiled with the thought of QBs coming in right away and getting into done when in reality that’s not the case.  ARs timeline/trajectory is going to be very similar to Josh Allen’s and tbh Allen didn’t start to really get it until Diggs came around.  A QBs development is dependent upon not just the qb himself, but the personnel, the coaches, the system.     Question, what would you have done in our situation?  Draft Levis?  I mean, I agree with you, I was one of the people on this board that wanted to do whatever we needed to get stroud, but it didn’t happen.  So We were either going to draft AR or Levis.  And if you didn’t want either one of them then you’re pretty much onboard with a full blown rebuild and waiting until next year because no other qb was worth drafting in the first round.  And to be real, AR would’ve been a top 3 QB in this past draft also.
