Colts final pick, #236 overall, OG, Jaimie Thomas Maryland

by shake n bake on Apr 26, 2009 6:45 PM EDT in NFL Draft

This is the head scratcher of the night. Thomas is instantly the largest player on the team at 323lbs and only the second O-Lineman over 305lbs on the roster (Diem). With athletic tackles available, as well as a few cover-2 LBs and UT Mitch King the Colts chose a giant guard.

and that's the Colts draft, but remember the next Jeff Saturday, Gary Brackett or Eric Foster could still be out there to be signed tonight.

He's huge

if

you can get Rashad Jennings as a UDFA, you have to go for it. Even if you have to put Hart on the PS for a year to recover.

So.....

I wonder what Polian’s Secret Plan is NOW. There are some real values left in the FA market. Go get em boys!

I think we rule out jennings

because he doesn’t need to somewhere they already have three drafted RBs on the roster

UDFA

Can the team start signing them by tonight?

by metal_militia on Apr 26, 2009 6:54 PM EDT reply actions

i think you can start them right after Mr. Irrelevant is announced.

Random fact of the week from the empty void that is my mind: Every time the Colts have played the KC Chiefs in the playoffs, they have gone on to at least the AFC Championship game.

Signing Jennings

Best case scenario, Mike Hart stays healthy and you put Jennings on the PS as the future at HB
Worst case scenario, Hart can’t play, goes to the PS(how many games did he suit up for last year?) or IR, Jennings takes his role on.

Sounds like a WIN either way to me.

Hart suited up for five games

But he would probably go on the PUP list and leave the practice squad for Lance Ball.

So, does anybody know why King and Jennings have fallen so far?

Were there character issues? Really bad pro day/combine? What’s going on here?

King showing up at the combine under his playing weight didn't help

and I guess in the all start games/combine/workouts he didn’t convince anyone he could play DE

I got Summer hatin' on me cuz I'm hotter than the sun. Spring hatin' on me cuz I ain't never sprung
Winter hatin' on me cuz I'm colder than Y'all. And I will never, I will never, I will never Fall.

as far as i know

King was a real stand up guy. blue collar, plays whistle to whistle guy. maybe just doesnt fit the normal profile for a DL

by MARVININDY on Apr 26, 2009 6:57 PM EDT up reply actions

Doesn't everybody who stays in Radio City Music Hall for the entire draft (until Mr. Irrelevant)

get some type of prize?
