BBS' take on Colts selecting Pat Angerer in the second round of the 2010 NFL Draft

regardless of the circumstances of the pick this kid is perfect for our system.im not sayin hes gonna start but im sure we are going to hear his name a couple of times on sundays

i dont like the pick either
and i think you might be on something withe the bust situation
w.e though in Pollian we trust?

I turned it off right after the Colts pick to take a shower, and now I just find out that the Saints take Brown??? This may be the worst Polian pick I have ever seen since Pollak (and I HATED that pick). The guy is slow and was a late third rounder at best (where we could have still landed him). So instead, the position Polian whined about after the Super Bowl is getting thinner and thinner in the draft, and who gets the best remaining OL? The f***ing “who dat” crew. That’s right, the team who caused Polian to bash the linemen, takes the best linemen remaining in the draft due to Polian’s decision to take a guy who may or may not make our roster. F———- for this pick (that’s an f minus inf. by the way, not a curse word). Could have gone return specialist as well, but nah…..let’s get a guy we don’t need at all who is not even close to being the BPA. Wasn’t so mad about this until I saw the Saints take Brown.

those smucks from usc don’t necessarily have a good track record coming to the good ole midwest, (i.e. fili maoli). i have a feeling that brown was a good player, but probably lazy and/or a flake. if he was a sure-fire starter, we would have taken him……you have to remember, polian is the best there is, and if he is cool with it, i trust him.

Bill Polian sucks at drafting, when has he ever had any success at picking anybody? ever?

You’re being too nice about this. This pick was abysmal. Polian must have already shored up the OL problems with the new “franchise” linemen Adam Terry (who is not bad, but no LT) and practice squadder Andy Alleman. Complete COMPLETE waste of a second round pick. If Campbell is gone, Polian will have to explain why the hell he bitched so much about the o-line only to completely disregard improving it through the draft.

30 other teams passed on him TWICE. Something is clearly wrong with him.

I look at it like this: He could be essentially a Tony Ugoh clone. He has the same kind of questions about him. He’s surely more athletic and capable than CJ, but so was Tony. Ugoh is a damn fine athlete and showed flashes of excellence – there’s still some amount of hope that he won’t be a total bust. I can only imagine that they suspected that the chances of success for Brown were not super high, much like Ugoh.

Any time we can make a “PAT” Angerer! It’s probably a good thing.

what the hell are you smoking. You are telling me that Ryan Lilja is the difference between an O Line that makes the Super Bowl and one that doesn’t?

Once again BBS proves his only real skill is hyperbole.

Last year we desperately wanted a DT and got all pumped about a DT in the end of round 2 from USC. Now some are wondering if he was a good choice or not. Too early to tell still. However, that could well be Brown a year from now. Or worse yet, we could know he was a bust. Mike Pollack was drafted at this same spot two years back, and that’s one OL player we have soured on.

I give Polian the benefit of the doubt any day over anyone else. And this guy looks like a great Colt!

I say we will get a LT in this draft still, and one that will be better than Brown in the end. And meanwhile we found Brackett’s replacement eventually and backup now. That was needed. See ’08.

Angerer was a reach but I think he is a good fit for the Colts and has the potential to crack the starting lineup this season. However, they could have waited for Bowman, Norwood, or even Edds. Still, for those who wanted an OL, there is still Bruce Campbell, Matt Tennant, and Mitch Petrus. Plus I’ve heard that the reason Brown fell so far was due to a health concern. I guess as with all picks only time will tell.

…this IS a good pick. Angerer is like Bob Sanders, only without the injuries and with more tattoos. Plus, in addition to having a motor like a Saturn V rocket, the dude gives the best interviews on the planet—dull he ain’t. He’s a headsy player, plays to the hilt every play, and a great teammate. Few years ago he was felled by Mono, and almost quit football—within a season, he was dominating the field, EVERYWHERE all at once. Since then, he’s been Bob Sanders-like in his ability to be in the right place at the right time.

Plays hurt, play every play, don’t care where he just wants to hit a guy on the numbers. Trust me, you won’t regret this pick.

You also won’t regret taking Iowa TE Tony Moeaki, either, if that comes to pass. Like Dallas, only a better blocker—his only problem is injuries.

.. Charlie Johnson is better than Charles Brown. Period.

The Colts, a billion dollar company, just pulled this out of their ass? The just disregarded the input of their expensive scouting staff and just decided to pull a name out of a hat this year?

Obviously left tackles as good as Tarik Glen don’t pop up every year—and even ones as good as Charlie Johnson don’t. Want them to draft a tackle 1% better than Johnson (or just as likely worse) because they have a need for a better tackle? Or should they take the best player on the board—according to their scouts?

It’s better to see who they pick and wonder why than to pretend you have sent people to the games these college players played in and studied them as thoroughly as they have.

The drafting staff of the Colts knows what they are doing. If Peyton gets sacked 100x this year it’s because they didn’t have the players available. If they had them available, they would bring them in.

Seriously. Really? So Charles Brown over Charlie Johnson at LT was the difference between this Colts team making the Super Bowl in ‘10 and them missing it? Wow. You’re flat wrong, my friend.

Clearly the team had no interest in Brown, or they would’ve taken him in the first, or again when they selected Angerer. It doesn’t mean that Polian is “gun shy.” It means an excellent talent evaluator decided a guy wasn’t worth the pick. Get over it. God. You never cease to amaze me with your crazy.

When it comes to the draft (excluding the third round), all others are fools and Polian knows all.

I had Abgerer on the big board at 63 as a potential pick. To me, this was a great move
