UDFA Targets

Vaughn Martin was drafted by San Diego

In the fourth I believe.

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.

O, congrats Shake

on reaching 10,000 comments.

Now a proud annoyance on Stampede Blue, 18to88, Indy Football Report, and Phil B's blog.

Man, I need a life...

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.

Mitch King

and Add TE Darius Hill from Ball State to that mix

OH NO WE SUCK AGAIN!

by colts9318rock on Apr 26, 2009 7:48 PM EDT reply actions

We should pick up Kory Sheets as RB depth. He would add some speed and pass catching ability.

by bbxxj on Apr 26, 2009 7:48 PM EDT reply actions

Brown covers that

OH NO WE SUCK AGAIN!

by colts9318rock on Apr 26, 2009 7:49 PM EDT up reply actions

Not as mutch pass catching. Sheets is more of a reciever from the backfield. I know Sheets is about 1/4 the RB Brown is, but he is worthy of a backup spot.

Why not package a few of our selections

and offer to Arizona for Edge? just sayin’

by LovinBlue on Apr 26, 2009 7:52 PM EDT up reply actions

haha

that was a joke right?

Please, please draft a big Defensive Tackle. Please?

by skywalker on Apr 26, 2009 7:53 PM EDT up reply actions

Its possible

that we could pick up Edge for a year now for cheap – kinda the way we did with Dom last year. Arizona has pretty much said that Edge won’t be back there next year….

Sheets > Simpson

by hahasound on Apr 26, 2009 7:57 PM EDT up reply actions

yeah, but maybe

Ball > Sheets >Simpson

by CooperManningsNotTrying on Apr 26, 2009 7:58 PM EDT up reply actions

Ball =/= [Sheets, Simpson]

Ball is more of a power back, whereas the other two are speed backs.

by hahasound on Apr 26, 2009 8:13 PM EDT up reply actions

but we have pass-catchers in brown, addai, and hart

sheets has speed, but otherwise he doesn’t give us much we don’t already have. that’s why it may not make sense to keep/bring in either simpson or sheets

by CooperManningsNotTrying on Apr 26, 2009 8:29 PM EDT up reply actions

Gerald Cadogan?

He enters the UDFA period as scouts inc.‘s highest-rated undrafted player… he’s from the big ten, and he plays OT (where we need help).

by hahasound on Apr 26, 2009 7:49 PM EDT reply actions

That would be a solid pickup. I approve.

by bbxxj on Apr 26, 2009 7:53 PM EDT up reply actions

a bit off subject but

this is from scouts inc. on jaimie thomas

Thomas has a quick first step that helps him get in strong initial position. He lacks lower-body strength and could struggle to anchor against bigger interior defensive linemen.

either they mean “bigger” relative to other DTs or they’re makin’ a joke. how often will a 6’4" 323lb guard face guys bigger than himself?

by CooperManningsNotTrying on Apr 26, 2009 7:57 PM EDT reply actions

3-4 NTs?

that’s probably it

yeah

I guess being tall makes it a little difficult to get leverage on a B. J. Raji type

by CooperManningsNotTrying on Apr 26, 2009 8:04 PM EDT reply actions

maybe he could cut some weight and be athletic enough to be an RT

if he’s at guard…

“one of these things is not like the other”

Fantastic list...

Cadogen and Ellerbe as high upside developmental projects and Sheets as a great fallback plan if Hart isn’t healthy or effective coming back. All of the others could be good as well.

by bbxxj on Apr 26, 2009 9:32 PM EDT up reply actions

GONE

Sheets
Cadogen

Polian just blew it

Really – this is going to haunt them. They tried shifting from what works to a “new” DT strategy of big, fat DTs who can’t move.

The first time King sacks Manning – I’m going to grit my teeth and say “I told you so.”

by the_iowa_hawkeye on Apr 27, 2009 11:15 AM EDT up reply actions

What working stratagem are we switching from? When did Moala become a fat slow DT? Taylor isn’t even overly slow for a 300+ NT.

Kind would have been nice but I’m not seeing where you are going with the rest of your post.

by bbxxj on Apr 27, 2009 11:49 AM EDT up reply actions

Off base a bit...

Mitch King is not going to be as good as you thought… in fact, im just tired of constantly seeing everyone drooling over him coming up to the draft on colts boards.. OVERRATED!!!

by ColtKing on Apr 27, 2009 4:57 PM EDT up reply actions

easy to say that now

after they passed on him.

by shake n bake on Apr 27, 2009 5:11 PM EDT up reply actions

Overrated?

How about we compare production between Taylor and King – both Big Ten DTs.

How many games did Taylor have where a single RB ran over him all day long for over 100 yards in the game?

Now, how many did King have?

by the_iowa_hawkeye on Apr 27, 2009 6:37 PM EDT up reply actions

Since: One DL = Entire Run DEF

Brilliant!
