Difference an oline makes it to a season Colts

Two different situations.  He is saying there are several tackles that are top 15 talents.  Not that they are getting drafted top 15 because they are the best LTs in a weak class.

Do you think there are 16 prospects with higher grades than Jonah Williams?  I could actually see an O-lineman being decent value at where we are picking.  Williams, Ford, Little, and Taylor are all guys that could easily be in the top 20 depending on how all star games and combine go.

  I know what he’s saying. And fully realize this is based on nothing more than my opinion.  

 

       But the only one of that group I would use a first on is Ford. And not around 16. I could easily name 50 better prospects than Williams. You really want to jump on that Bama OL train? How many times has that worked out?

Vernon Butler, Shaq Thompson, Kelvin Benjamin, Star Lotu, it would be oh so easy.

Kyle Long and Travis Frederick were there when we picked Star.

No real value on the OL below KB in 2014 outside of Trai Turner, so that year would have needed a trade-up.

Donovan Smith ain’t great, but he would have been a better pick than Shaq IMO.

Jason Spriggs would have been a MUCH better pick than Butler.

And which one of those guys is worth our 1st pick? Don’t just post random lists. Have an idea of what/who you’re even discussing. 

   You know the #1 guy on that list isn’t a LT. 

Are you trying to be a self righteous pompous ass over this?

ill be an ass back and ask you are you a NFL scout?

 If so, which team  do you work for as a scout?

If you aren’t a pro scout, guess what, your opinion is no better than mine 

You made a statement and I answered it with options. It was a short list to aid discussion as not everyone knows who the collegiate tackles are.  

If you don’t like the options pass it by vs making personal attacks 

This board used to be discussion, now it’s ‘nah nah nah, my answer is better, smarter than yours ‘

sick of this poo

  And we still had Jordan Gross and didn’t have an NFL caliber DT on the team. If you want a miss that year, it was missing out on Terron Armstead because we traded the pick for Joe Adams. And that year had the true “miss”. 

  Donovan Smith? At least Shaq is above average at his position. And everyone is better than Butler. And the best you got is Jason Spriggx. Not seeing a bunch of names that would have had the impact that 3 All-Pros already did.

Any player, regardless of grade or where they are drafted can be a bust, but do you really think there are will be 50 players with higher grades on team's boards than Williams?

    • After that Wallace pick my smart friend turned to me and said " Dan is drafting like he's still playing ".... I thought some and was enough hot about the brooks trade up, that I agreed. ____________________________________________________ The best thing about the WR group- They are very young and have potential. The worst thing about the WR group- They are very young and have potential. When I listed the WR group as positive, I honestly do not know if the group is "fixed" or not. Im not from the future or nothing, but either are other folks. I do feel this- This is the deepest group I can ever recall in Panthers history. I'd say its 10 deep and past years they have struggled to bring 5 decent guys into TC even including the UDFA "superstars ". That's doubled my brother!    The huddle is _______ and such, but its treatment of XLs rookie year is among the top 5 WTHs for me. Im old enough to member fantasy football, where it was against the unwritten rules to draft a WR before their 3rd year(rough terms). The trade up to make him a first...... come on it was for a late 6th and well worth the 5th year option.  He had foot and hand issues starting in OTAs last year and still played for 500 yards, 4 TDs, and 50 recs. That was with bad BY, Dalton, and 9 games of bama BY..... in a new offense that was still finding itself. He's under contract for the next 4 years at a bargain if you look at current WR salaries. Coker had a similar year and he's under contract for two more years at min. pay. TMAC, was just the best player on the board. It had nothing to do XL. The deal about WRs is you can play 5 on the same play and its very common for many teams to run 3 WRs sets as their base.   TMAC, XL, and Coker will be moved alllllll around and play different positions, no one is locked into true X spot. You should see this on game days and even Dave has said this too. The one group this team should know best is WR. Dave and his OC brad were WR coaches before each became OCs. In Dave's case, he logged around 8-10 years there. Then one of the better assistant coaches is none other than Rob Moore. Before he started coaching WRs..back in 2009 he was coming off a borderline HOF career. He's got 35 years experience. Add in Dave and Brad and its nearly 50 years. This is not like OL having proved itself, I am projecting here. *provided bama BY is able to get better, I believe this WR group will have a similar result and hold the good rank for 2-3 years. 
    • Yeah, he is leaps and bounds better than Wallace. But the question then becomes, when do you get Wallace the reps to even attempt to develop? I feel the same way about Pratt as I did Ramsey, it's a short solution for a long term situation.
