McCargo pre-draft
Here is SI's scouting report on McCargo before he was taken in the first round of the 2006 draft.
BIO: Three-year starter who posted 21/8/.5 in six games last year, missing half the season with a stress fracture. Posted career-best numbers of 52/14/3 as a freshman.
POSITIVES: Explosive run-defending tackle who flashes power. Plays with excellent pad level, wedges between blocks and is rarely off his feet. Possesses tremendous first-step quickness, makes plays out to the flanks and has a closing burst of speed.
NEGATIVES: Marginal pass rusher. Flashes hand technique but for the most part wired by blocks.
ANALYSIS: A hard-working prospect productive throughout college, McCargo's decision to enter the draft surprised many. Projects well as a two-gap lineman and could eventually develop into a starter at the next level.
NFLDraftScout.com ranked him as the number 3 DT behind Broderick Bunkley and Haloti Ngata. McCargo ran a 5.15 40 at over 300lbs.
From Adam Schefter (via PFT, tip to Sanders_fan89) the Colts gave up a 4th round pick. I like it.

Fourth round pick
That was the cost of McCargo according to the NFL Network. Also, in order to make room they let go of LaJuan Ramsey. The Bills also said that McCargo tended to be uninterested in working to get better. I hope the Colts Organization can fix that problem.
for a 4th roudner I'd love it

Maybe he thought he was stuck behind Stroud
Who obviously wasn’t going anywhere.
I’m guessing within the next couple weeks he’ll be making his first NFL start. That is pretty good motivation.
That would be my thought...
but rumor has it that he was like this before hand. It could have also been that Buffalo brought in our old dear friend Larry Tripplett during that offseason too. Like I said earlier, I just hope that the Colts can kick him in the butt and work.

Good Move
Despite the run D’s performance last week, which was extremely strong, we really needed to take a shot at another tackle.
