Titus Brown is indeed on Colts radar

by Brad Wells on Mar 31, 2008 11:27 AM EDT in Colts Analysis

Tip to Aerostar193 for letting us know about New Era Scouting's latest team interest update. We now see that Titus Brown is on the Colts radar. I feel smart now, because no one was saying Brown was a Colts-type player except me.

The fact that Jeremy Geathers and Titus Brown are getting interviewed or looked at by the Colts reinforces my notion that the Colts might not take a DE in the late second round. Both those guys are speedy pass rushers, and both will likely still be on the board in the 5th or 6th rounds. If someone like RB Chris Johnson or RB Matt Forte is there, the Colts will take them and not think twice about it. The QB on the New Era list is interesting because it isn't Bernard Morris from Marshall. Instead, South Carolina's Blake Mitchell is listed, and he did not get a glowing review from our resident Gamecock, tenyardfight:

born and raised a gamecock fan, it breaks my heart to speak against an s.c. player, but blake mitchell is extremely inconsistent. he was replaced last season for some time by a freshman; he looks incredibly indecisive in the pocket and holds the ball too long. s.c.'s o-line has been pretty dismal the last couple of years, but mitchell's problems go beyond the o-line. he looked even worse after sidney rice left last year and eventually became a viking.

he's also had some off the field trouble, getting into stupid situations which seem to indicate that his head is not entirely in the game where it should be.

Interesting. My updated mock is coming soon, as are a few more Who the hell will they draft posts.

as a gamecock fan myself

i think blake would be an upgrade over jim sorgi (i mean who wouldnt be). also i believe that with the tutelage(spelling?) of peyton he can be a good enough backup. unlike your resident gamecock i see blake's problems as primarily a shoddy o-line. his off-field problems arent as huge as you would think. they're teenage stuff and he was a teenager. he's not the worst thing that could happen to us. there are better qb's we can draft. im just saying he is not horrible

I am from South Carolina

and i have saw him play what seems like a lifetime at south carolina and i can tell you he is a dismal QB he couldnt chew Sorgi's jock.

The next QB that played for Spurrier

That has success in the NFL will be the first.

Steve Slayden
Anthony Dilweg
Shane Matthews
Terry Dean
Danny Wuerffel
Doug Johnson
Jesse Palmer
Rex Grossman

Also, from looking at the NFL Draft History, it looks like South Carolina has NEVER had a QB drafted. Seems strange for a decent football program.

please say no to blake

I live in south carolina, and am a huge anti-gamecock fan. Blake Mitchell is terrible. We would do nothing to help our status. He got suspended twice, once for missing classes, and once for instigating a fight with a bouncer in which he was on the receiving end of a fist.

Not to mention, he's a gamecock.

Yes

mitchell

smelley came in for mitchell (who spurrier benched) and often looked better. there have been complaints about mitchell's work ethic in the past and coupled with his simple assault charge (he hit a bouncer at a bar after the guy turned away from him), i'd say mitchell ain't exactly what the colts are after.

that said, i would love to see him beat the odds and do well in the nfl. word from his pro-day was that he beefed up by 16 pounds and looked good.

the o-line was indeed terrible and how boyd averaged 5.0 ypc behind it i'll never know.

it's nice to see some carolina love in here. here's to next season!

Brown Being On There Doesn't Rule Anyone Out

The Colts need more than one defensive lineman in this draft. I don't think that Brown & Gathers being put on there impacts whether or not we will draft Laws. Maybe I'm just saying this because I'm a huge Notre Dame fan and Trevor Laws has the coolest hair-beard combination ever.

yeah man

i watched laws in several games. i would love to have him. (not to confuse folks: i did undergrad at usc and grew up a gamecocks fan; i did a phd at notre dame and have some loyalties there; now i work at osu and i guess i will slowly assume some loyalties to the buckeyes??? colts fan since baltimore though).
