Dominic Rhodes to Buffalo

You’ve always got my back :-)

Can’t remember the article, but I remember Polian hinted that they would of liked to bring him back. He also did the same with Kelvin Hayden, and he got a nice contract.

Not a total suprise though. They can easily find someone to replace his role through the draft, unless they’re sold on Lance Ball.

If they wanted to bring him back (like Hagler) they would have brought him back by now.

I think he can be a great player if he comes back physically.

But not your own facts. I think you mean “I don’t think Addai is their guy.” Unless I’m missing some interview with Polian.

Sorry, I saw that quote somewhere earlier and really just wanted to use it, I’m actually not trying to be a dick, but it fit. Anyway, like I said when I was talking about Wells, I frankly can’t see how Moreno or Wells couldn’t be BPA at 27. I mean, I totally want a DT, and would love to take them in both round 1 and 2 if we managed Jerry and either Hood or Gilbert fell. I mean, both of them (Gilbert and Hood) zoomed up draft boards post college season. Normally, unless someone puts up a ridiculous number (Gilbert kind of did), it’s normally hype. The draft board will probably end up more like the mocks at the end of NFL season taking into account trades etc. I’d say look at alot of the big boards and they’d honestly be a better ranking of the players in the draft.

Anyway, I really don’t know why I almost went off on a tangent there (brings up something I might talk about later though), but I’m still not sold on Jennings in round 2. Although, I’ll tell you straight up that I’d rather have him than Derrick Williams. In round 3 definitely, but there’s still a ton of prospects in round 2 that aren’t as much of a risk as Jennings. Yes, Jennings definitely would be worth a second round pick if he could do what I think he potentially could. But I’m more sure about other players than a dude that went to a division II school and performed at the same degree than several division I RBs performed. I “think” he could be the 4th best back in the entire draft behind Moreno, Wells, and D. Brown. But is he clearly as much better than A. Brown, K. Sheets, C. Peerman, McCoy or Greene? I’m not sure. I mean, I’m more sure of Moala being “pretty good” consistently throughout his career as a Colt and would definitely help our run defense than I am about Jennings. But in round 3? Oh yeah, no doubt. Jennings might be much different when going from division II to NFL speed as a RB. That and WR are the two positions on offense that can go from super awesome to a bust just based off of speed.

I’d rather have a healthy Hart about as much as I’d like Jennings right now. But seeing how that’s problem too much to hope for, I like Jennings/A.Brown in the 3rd and Peerman/Greene/Sheets in the 4th. Will that happen? Dunno, and I have a feeling they won’t go RB early just looking at where they’ve been showing interest. Unless they already knew everything they needed to know about the players, you’d expect them to at least look at a RB higher than a round 6-UDFA projection. The Colts literally have not worked out or interviewed a higher ranked RB.

We definitely need a RB though, not going to argue with that. I think D. Brown in the second (I have a very hard time believing he’ll drop that far though) would be sick. And I’m not sure how I’d feel with not taking Wells in the first unless it was for Jerry or possibly Laurinaitis. And I’m not sure I’d mind that.

This is either going to be one draft where Polian might go how quite a few people think he is, or probably one of the craziest ones we’ve seen from him in awhile. Going to be a fun weekend. I think there’s value at all our picks, so I’m pretty sure we’re going to come out pretty well. Value’s spread much better this season, seriously alot of value falls around our picks in the first 4 rounds or so. Round 2’s probably our weakest round, and why Jennings might make sense to take, so I’ll agree with you there.
