With the 94th pick of the Draft the Indianapolis Colts select: Kevin Thomas, CB, USC

in NFL Draft
Email
PrintPassing on Charles Brown for Pat Angerer stirred controversy, will the Colts grab a 3rd round tackle with Bruce Campbell, Jason Fox and Kyle Calloway available? Address CB depth and the hole at returner while locking up the hands down best named draft class in the league with the selection of Akwasi Owusu-Ansah (meaning born on Sunday)? Finish filling Brock's shoes with Corey Wootton?
The pick?
Kevin Thomas, CB, USC
A surprise pick, the Colts grab a Southern Cal talent, but not one we expected. Thomas is a CB well suited with zone, but has man experience and good speed. Mixed reviews in run support adding another parallel to the surprise CB in this spot last year, Jerraud Powers.
Thomas bolsters the Colts seriously lacking CB depth. They currently have just 3 corners on the roster who have seen significant NFL action.

Pretty sure that makes us all happy!

Time to do some research
See if he was the guy Tate burned multiple times last year. I hope not.

Long TD No
Short TD he gave too much cushion, then missed the tackle before Tate laid out Taylor Mays.

ugh
fucking cushion. I dont even have them on my couch anymore cause I hate Tim Jennings THAT MUCH

Yea. Also we will see him more as a guy to come in for run support on what are more of running downs I think. Probably not a starter idk. Maybe a 2nd string and could take Jennings role (not the cushion part but his position without that part)

Gotta be happy with defensive depth.
Guy seems to have loads of potential and hopefully he meets it.

I like it.
Back in February when I learned about our defensive failure in the Super Bowl, my quick response was to go all defense in the draft.
"It's the greatest job in the world until Peyton comes off the field and you think his thumb might be broken and there's three minutes left in the AFC Championship Game and you're down by three to New England and you haven't taken a snap all year. Yeah, it's a great job until that point." - Jim Sorgi
Caz Piurowski - Fla State
Caz Piurowski, TE/OT – Height: 6-7 | Weight: 272
This guy will be a UFA, and the steal of the draft. Hopefully he is on Bill’s radar.
We have to say that...
all the stuff Polian yelled about the OL after February was all smoke screen. He was really mad at the D in the second half.
We might also think that he was blowing smoke when he said the OL wasn’t as deep in this draft.
I don't think it was a smoke screen, but
the quality of tackle at our picks I don’t think Bill liked well enough and went a different route. Will probably still pick up OL early tomorrow.

There is a good chance guys like Calloway, Fox, and Wang will be there at the end of the fourth
by 2ndBlueGeneration on Apr 23, 2010 10:12 PM EDT up reply actions
Or it might have been the initial reaction
that was then revised. It was smoke anyway. Our oline is average, but that wasn’t why we lost AT all.
Agreed...
I just think everyone jumped on that statement. I think D depth is more important at this point. We have shown that we don’t NEED to run to win. D depth will help more directly. Especially with the injury bug we can’t seem to shake.
I am happy with the picks...
all the positions are positions I felt we needed help and depth. It’s nice to see that happen. I still think we have a shot at a left tackle probably Calloway or Fox, so there is still a chance, but overall I am happy the way the draft is going.

I never saw what was great about Sorgi.
He always struggled to get yards and even when he did he couldn’t finish drives. I just think that Painter will get better and be exactly what we need from a clipboard carrier. Hopefully his non-throwing arm is strong enough to not develop any strain from holding it for the next 5 or 6 years.
sorgi's problem
was he couldn’t throw it farther than a 12 yr old girl with arthritis

by danorocks17 on Apr 23, 2010 11:07 PM EDT up reply actions
That would make sense why he could never get the ball anywhere.
If you lack accuracy or power you won’t be a good QB. Sorgi had accuracy then, but lacked power. Painter has bits of both. I just think he could be a good backup (atleast for our needs) until we start grooming our Manning Jr.
Honestly, Peyton should just get on with having kids so we can start grooming them at the Colts Complex. Honestly, let him have a little girl first so the first woman in the NFL will be Manning reincarnated.
she'd have a better arm than sorgi
I’m not giving up on Painter yet (painful, seeing as i’m an IU grad).

I’ve seen this guy play since high school (went to the same high school as him). He’s a pretty good CB.
My question is how tough will it be to motivate him? Kiper said he occassionally graded out as a first or second round guy but seriously underachieved at USC

far from it
but come on, this line isn’t worse than half the O lines in the league. If we can get someone to improve it, great, we should do it. We addressed some major needs so far, I know the O line improvements will come later.

Oh if you've seen some of my other comments you would see that I'm more or less with you
It’s not something I worry about nearly as much as our defensive depth. The o-line could be upgraded and I would be happy. I’m not going to have a stroke if it doesn’t happen though.

my bad
I think going into this draft, if i had to pick where we needed depth the most, it was at DE and we addressed that, and right behind that LB. We did that as well with a solid pick. The kid (angerer) is going to be good for us for a while, mark my words.
I know O Line will get addressed. Polian will work that majik like he always does and make us all look like fools

Do not like Keiaho
Ramon Humber proved last year that he is an Ace on Specials and lots of upside that Freddie – like that Fred can play anyway, but that was nicer to know when there was no legit MLB backup. Heck, I’d prefer Cody Glenn to Keiaho, good upside as he learns the position, but solid specials play and FB experience
I'm still wondering if Polian was really
eying Tony. The Chiefs seemed to think we were about to steal Tony from them.

Going back to Thomas...
… does he seem like the classic Indy corner to you guys? Quick, smart, disciplined, and injury prone? I ask because, like I noted in the other open thread, Mel Kiper Jr. said the pick was “out of character”. And I’m trying to figure out what the heck he meant by that.

The question is: Did Kiper mean that he thinks it’s unusual for Polian to pick a depth DB this high? Or that he thinks Thomas isn’t the Indianapolis sort of corner? Yes, either way he’s wrong, but the question is, what direction was the hair freak going in when he made his pronouncement?
Sometimes, I think he’s blowing air just to sound like he knows what he’s talking about, but I’m still curious to figure out what in God’s name he was thinking.

Probably. Its about the point we would take one.
To be honest aside from Angerer alot of people expected the positions we took, just not the player. We got a DE in the first (then we thought an OT in the second), but we were thinking a CB in the third. we need an OT eventually and it really is just about the time that we either get a O-linemen with potential, or we take a hit in the dark on a guy not expected to amount to anything.

Indianapolis Colts News and Updates
Welp......
I can’t help but shake my head in confusion at what’s gone on. I’ve never seen us draft two more random players. I know we don’t draft for need, but when two needs are adamently addressed by your tm pres (o-line and return specialist), then why the hell are we drafting backups? Can we not get those guys in the fourth and on? I won’t bash on Angerer. He’s not terrible or anything, but he won’t see the field significantly for a while. Maybe he’ll surprise and beat out Wheeler, but I doubt it. And then there is Kevin Thomas, whoever that is. A DB that can’t return. He won’t play in front of Hayden, Powers, or Lacey. So while we are supposedly lacking at OL and ST, we ignore both needs for two reaches. Letting the Saints have Brown is so ironic, my head hurts thinking about it. Then we pass on Bruce Campbell, another solid OT, for what I think will be another guy who was babied by Pete Carroll and not amount to much more than a backup.
I mean, I know defense is a need, as we got stomped in the SB by the Saints O, but I’m starting to wonder about Polian’s o-line comments. It looks like we don’t like any linemen at all, so are we gonna go out and sign Flozell or something? I really have no clue what Polian is doing right now. Not saying he is wrong, but don’t understand this strategy at all after his post-SB comments.
"A lot of times, Kenny, we have no idea what we're doing. But the DEFENSE doesn't know that we don't know what we're doing.....and that's next level." -Peyton Manning
If Polian thought the O-lineman he passed on were worth taking, he would have done it.
I think that’s all it came down to.

They have other needs, but I am afraid we may be out of luck for him. Thats what I get for getting my hopes up on a guy who is a perfect fit for our scheme that also fills a need other than depth.

I guess Polian just didn't value AOA as highly as we did.
He obviously saw more potential or use from Thomas than he did from AOA. Polian ususally does well with these kinds of things, but I still wish we could get a guy known to be a return guy too. Look at Harvin… Just because he was known just as much a return man as he was as a WR doesn’t mean he wasn’t any good. I think a serious return guy can help solve a number of our blocking problems.

Well you can count me in as one of the few people who are loving the Colts draft this year.
I’ve come to the realization that the Colts can win with an average or below average offensive line. As long as Peyton is back there directing the offense it will score points. However what has often more than not killed the Colts postseason hopes is the defense falling apart later in the year.
/would still like to see an OL or two somewhere down the road though.

It’ll come. Think about it, almost all of our best O-line are late round picks or UDFA’s. And Polian’s scouts told him this wasn’t a deep O-line draft, which means you don’t get value until late.

I've been saying for a while that Brown was at best a late second early third OT in any other year...
Obviously every GM in the league agreed with me, although had it not been for his attitude and his neck injury, he’d probably have gone in the top of the second….
Still, I felt the whole OT value was over-estimated due to demand.

Does anyone here know for sure? No. But then again we know nothing for sure anymore than you do. We take what information we have and make judgement based upon that but obviously something knocked him down all the way to the end of the 2nd when most fans were slobbering over him in the 1st.

You know, while I said in that other thread that I ended up waffling on Brown as a first round talent
… I still think he’d be an improvement over Charlie Johnson. What I saw in video makes me believe this. Whether that means he’s a first round talent or not was up to debate before the draft, so from us armchair and couchbound scouts, it was a legitimate debate and possibility. But I don’t think it was really a way-out judgement; we don’t have access to the totality of the films, plus don’t have the experience at analyzing that team scouts have.
From our point of view, he had the tools to handle edge rushers. Well, we were wrong in our ranking of him (although I still stick by the analysis i.e. that he can handle protecting the edge pass rush), but I personally needed a bit more than assertions about what people believed before changing my mind. Not knocking your analysis, BTW; rather, what I’m saying is that I would’ve liked to have read more “Here’s why he’s not worth a first round pick” instead of “Guys, I say he’s not worth a first round pick”.

I was going to say. This was 2 draft threads ago.
Phil B reported that GMs were expressing concerns over his work ethic, and that coupled with a neck injury he had taken a major hit. Besides, what else do you think could have made him go from being a solid first round we were hoping would fall to us in the first, to a toxic asset that would could get in the 2nd just as easily.
This is the first I heard of a neck injury.
I was basing my assumptions on watching him during the season and said the other day I thought he was inconsistent and lazy.

Likewise, that has been going around since about the 10th pick of the 2nd.
NFLN reported that the reason so many OTs were being taken over Brown, even though he was supposed to be amazing was because he suffered a neck injury post combine. Then Phil B reported that GMs didn’t like him because he had an attitude problem and there were concerns over his work ethic. Thats kind of what I thought was going on by that point as well. For how highly rated he was, he really had to piss off alot of GMs to make everyone ignore his stats. There were a lot of “Stat focused” GMs who were taking a pass on him.
What if we trady for Jammal Brown

Next Man Up!
I think the philosophy behind the Colts’ picks so far is that our starting 22 can consistently beat anybody, and that our chief vulnerability is when they got hurt. Look at how our last three seasons ended with the defense getting shredded due to a weakness created by injuries to Freeney or Brackett. Would have been real nice having Angerer against the Chargers last year to replace Brackett, or Hughes filling in for Freeney the other two.
Looking at next season’s roster, there were five guys whose back-ups would fall far short – Manning, Freeney, Brackett, Powers/Hayden, and Clark. We just drafted guys who remind scouts of three of those guys.
Ben suspension

It seems a little disingenuous to say that Polian is good at drafting DBs in the draft
I’m not making a judgment on the pick one way or the other, I’ve never heard of Kevin Thomas, but I assume he’s Dave Thomas’ son. That being said, here’s a look at Bill Polian’s body of work with regards to DBs since 1998:
Jerraud Powers (rnd 3)
Dante Hughes (rnd 3)
Brannon Condren/Safety (rnd 4)
Michael Coe (rnd 5)
Tim Jennings (rnd 2)
Antoine Bethea (rnd 6)
TJ Rushing (rnd 7)
Marlin Jackson (rnd 1)
Kelvin Hayden (rnd 2)
Matt Giordano (rnd 4)
Bob Sanders (rnd 2)
Jason David (rnd 4)
Von Hutchins (rnd 6)
Mike Doss (rnd 2)
Donald Strickland (rnd 3)
Joseph Jefferson (rnd 3)
James Lewis (rnd 6)
Idrees Bashir (rnd 2)
Cory Bird (rnd 3)
Raymond Wells (rnd 5)
Jason Doering (rnd 6)
David Macklin (rnd 3)
Rodregis Brooks (rnd 7)
Paul Miranda (rnd 4)
Corey Gaines (rnd 7)
If I missed someone, I’m sorry, it wasn’t my intent.
That’s 25 players drafted. 5 of them remain on the roster.
OK, I understand, rounds 4-7 are REALLY hit or miss. I agree.
Polian took 11 DBs in rounds 1-3. 3 of them have stuck.
Polian has taken 6 of those DBs in rounds 1 and 2. A total of 2 of them have stuck.
Through any measuring stuck, he’s batting somewhere between 1/3 and 1/5, which is probably average. I’m sure he picks DBs better than he picks OL, but I would say Polian is to picking DBs what a man whore is to women… Polian hits on a few DBs because he drafts so many, much like a man whore will eventually sleep with a hot woman just due to sheer volume. That doesn’t make them particularly good at it, just persistent.
The story of me
(Warning, perhaps NSFW audio, unless you work in a pharmacy(No Cussing, just a description of me that you may not want your boss to hear))

He seems to be pretty good at picking up UDFA CBs: Bullitt, Harper, Lacey are three that come to mind immediately.

Okay, so after reading through this thread - my thoughts:
Going into the draft, I wanted an O-Lineman, it can obviously be improved BUT many people brought up the great point that we lose games because of DEFENSE! What does that mean to me:
1. I’m even more excited about the Hughes pick.
2. I’m cool with this Thomas pick, really think he can be polished and made to be effective in our system.
3. Still need to learn/read/watch more of Angerer.
4. WE CAN STILL GET O-LINEMAN! – There are 4 rounds left and a bunch of picks. I think this draft is turning out really well for us.
"In a game of poker, I can put the players' souls in my pocket." - I forgot who said this.
But But Thomas is from USC so he can't be good lol

I hope he goes to a team I'm indifferent to.
His name really makes me want to root for him!

He is in the top 2 at CB class atm...
And about 6 teams have CB as a need in the top 10-15 picks of the 4th. We may miss with a few that have other needs, but I doubt that he lasts beyond 20 unless he interviewed quite badly. I honestly wouldn’t mind trading our 4th this year and 3rd next year to trade up to get him at the top of the draft order tomorrow…. (say number 5 or 6 overall in the 4th)
LOL

Since I see no open thread and this is it to me...
here’s what I saw today:
Ike Davis’ first HR! Mammoth shot.

WOW that was crushed. From what I have seen so far before this game as well I think this guy could be a good player

Only Carlos Delgado
and Adam Dunn hit the bridge before IIRC
Davis is going to be soooo good.
Another great part of the game, Chipper made an error and runner scored from 2nd base on it and fans chanted “Larry” for a good…. 15 minutes.

How long was the hit?

It was an absolute monstrosity of a hit.
I can watch it over and over – so glad he’s playing 1B now for good.

Off to bed
good night all. Enjoy the rest of the draft tomorrow, I’ll be around for post-draft madness if there is any.
