Colts select Donald Brown, RB, UConn

Had my hopes up for Hood..

okay. I guess. My opinion is that the running problems were from the O-Line, not from the RBs. Even losing Rhodes, … I don’t know. I really think I would have rather seen a DT or WR. Bush as I answered the poll.. In Polian I Trust… I Guess

but the best thing about this pick is that I don’t like Addai all that much so Brown can take over hopefully

not brown.

There is plenty of defense that will be left in round 2. I’m liking the pick

I could probably see Polian trading up in the 2nd to grab Hood. At the same time, I’m pretty comfortable with this pick. The thing you keep hearing about Brown is that he’s durable and versatile, which is what the Colts look for in a running back. You have to keep the stable around Peyton stocked, and I think that when Brown fell into their laps at 27, you have to take him.

Brown is a great running back. He will be good and the Hart-Addai-Brown combo will be fine.

If he lasts that long, that will be the pick.

where I thought he might go

I really wanted DT most of all, but I wanted RB over WR.

Honestly, I’m just glad our 1RP wasn’t a WR. :P

On the other hand, I kind of fell in love with Donald Brown when I actually watched some game footage of him. I really do like the pick.

possibly the first move in a Boldin trade

it’s great for Peyton. Polian has to give Peyton more weapons and we all know about the running game. Plus the Colts will most likely trade up in the 2nd rd and get a Defensive guy. I’m really loving the pick now.

I don’t like trading up. If the Colts had someone in mind that they would take on D, they should have taken him already. They still have a bunch of picks left and obviously need to address DT and LB (depth) and they will be able to do that without trading future picks or giving up picks this year.

glad he went to the Titans because I don’t like him. I think he will eventually be a cancer to the team as his head will get the best of him

and love that the tits took a WR that will suck… GO COLTS

I LOVE IT!

I said right before the pick polian is going to pick a rb…..and that is not the pick I expected but I LOVE IT…he can block, he has good hands and HE CAN RUN BABY……for all the times I saw…addai for one….this is a great addition!!!! they will make a great tandemn.

polian goes for the best available player and I think he was the best fit for the colts

and this is a colts kind of guy, his attitude and athleticism, his character…. he is going to be better than a crabtree pick

fuck

Robiskie is now gone.

I was at my buddy’s house for his kids B-Day could anyone tell me wher I can get a list of every player and the order?

Or Brown as a player.

I just can’t see two first rounders playing one position as value. To me, that says we screwed up one of them.

how much people’s perceptions of this pick have changed since we’ve drafted Moala?

Moala in the 2nd turned this pick into an awesome pick. Polian knew which DT he wanted and would fit. Hood’s forte is in the pass rush, Moala’s is in getting double teams, bullrushing and the run. Moala honestly makes a better NT than Hood would have. Combine Moala with a Gilbert or a King and that’s a HUGE upgrade at DT and also gives Peyton THE LEADING RUSHER IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL last season everyone. Who had more TDs and ypc than Moreno without having Stafford and that passing game to help him.

D. Brown/Moala is a seriously awesome two round combo. Moala was rated as the second or third best DT for quite awhile after the season. I think Polian might have honestly had him ranked above Hood. Obviously he felt strong enough about him to move up.

We just addressed the two biggest weaknesses of the team. Running the ball and defending the run. What more could we ask for? I know it might not be Hood/Jennings or Jerry/Robiskie, but I’m totally stoked that the day ended up like this.
