I don't get the coverage complaints. He supposedly was at fault for the game winning TD against Ole Miss, but former players like Will Lowery immediately tweeted Landon was doing his job.
haha -- I was hoping the Cowboys would take him with their late first round pick. Guess they needed a corner more than a safety.
I agree its not easy. Its incredibly difficult. Yet, they still make so many baffling boneheaded moves. I think it is because they are or try to be too smart. They overthink.
LOL. Yeah, the draft is not the time to shock the world, or try to out-think the class
agreed. showing up at the combine with a lot of extra weight at 228 lbs really hurt him especially since there was a perception he wasn't great in coverage. At 228 he's going to end up as a dime LB. He'll have to get into camp much leaner to prove he can play S
I think this is the most true statement in the thread. Gms are in a very hard spot. They are between the coaches and the owners. Draft day the movie was a mediocre movie, but it really shows the politics and the stress gms have to deal with between a coaches view and a owners view.

I'm an admitted Packers homer but it ain't terribly difficult to just plain think, period, of the possibilities for Collins as a run-support, tight-end coverage OLB hybrid in a dime scheme. Dom Capers has got it wrong so many years in a row with the Packers D that Collins can be a serendipitous choice for getting it right at last. That, and never again having another number 50 (AJ The Great White Hoax Hawk) in a Green Bay uniform would certainly balance the odds for actually playing defense again at Lambeau.
Good post. Arguably we have one of the top 5 best players at the their position in several players
It wasn't a popular choice here in Indy either. The GM, Ryan Grigson, has repeatedly said that they always want to draft the best player available no matter what position they play. This one has left the entire city scratching it's head. There are needs across the board, and they took a player in about the only position we don't need.
You are dead on. Of the last 23 picks the colts have had in the first 4 rounds, they've drafted 16 offensive players. Granted, they've won a lot of games that way, but the defense is aging big time. I think there will be a bigger focus on defense the rest of the way. I don't see many more offensive players taken unless it's a lineman. (Or if there's a runningback available who they just can't pass up.)
Nonsense. The Colts don't have enough #1 and #2 WRs on the roster. :wink:
