2007 NFL Draft Live Blog Part 2

by BigBlueShoe on Apr 28, 2007 4:51 PM EDT in Colts News Comment 16 comments

Yep, still live blogging. Players on the board the Colts could take at #32: Jon Beason, Paul Posluszny, and maybe, maybe Robert Meachum.

Update [2007-4-28 18:19:57 by BigBlueShoe]: Panthers take Beason. Eagles are on the clock and will probably take a Chris Houston.

Update [2007-4-28 18:19:57 by BigBlueShoe]:Good God! Philly just made a trade with Dallas. Cowboys are now on the clock.

Update [2007-4-28 18:19:57 by BigBlueShoe]:MasterRWayne can now relax. The Colts won't take Purdue star Anthony Spencer. The Cowboys just did. My question here is where does last year's pick Bobby Carpenter (a player similar to Spencer) fit in now?

Update [2007-4-28 18:19:57 by BigBlueShoe]: Um, WTF is up with Kornheiser leaving the draft after Quinn was picked. Isn't he supposed to be PAID to comment on things like the draft. I mean, where did he have to go? Where did he have to be? In the world of sports, NOTHING else is happening today besides the NFL Draft. Yes, there are NBA Playoffs. Yes, there is NASCAR. All secondary to the NFL Draft. I can understand leaving after pick #32, but leaving after #22? What a punk!

Update [2007-4-28 18:19:57 by BigBlueShoe]:Patriots traded their #28 pick with the 49ers.

Update [2007-4-28 18:19:57 by BigBlueShoe]: Lost in all the Brady Quinn talk is how far DT Alan Branch has fallen. This guy was a projected top 10 pick, and here we are at the very end of the first round, and he's still there nad NO ONE is talking about taking him.

Update [2007-4-28 18:19:57 by BigBlueShoe]:SD Chargers rrrrreeeeeeeeaaaaaaaached for Craig Davis. The Colts are one pick away from their selection! Finally! I've been waiting 6 hours for this.

Update [2007-4-28 18:19:57 by BigBlueShoe]:Looks like Chicago is going to take TE Greg Olsen. This means the Colts have players like Poz, Chris Houston, Alan Branch, and Dwayne Jarrett to choose from. Nice!

Update [2007-4-28 18:19:57 by BigBlueShoe]:The Colts are on the clock, folks!

Update [2007-4-28 18:19:57 by BigBlueShoe]:DraftTek.com is saying Alan Branch is the player the Colts must take.

Update [2007-4-28 18:19:57 by BigBlueShoe]: I'm creating a new thread once the Colts make their pick... if they don't trade.

Update [2007-4-28 18:19:57 by BigBlueShoe]: With the #32 pick, the Indianapolis Colts select Anthony Gonzalez.

Branch?

If Alan Branch slips all the way to us, do we take the risk?

Soon

I'm not sure Colts take Branch if he's there.

Yeah

I don't know if Paul P. gets to us with the Bears sitting in front of us with the same need. I think the Chargers take Harris, the Bears take Paul P. and we....trade the "f" outta this fodder war.

trade day

wow there has been a lot of trading around. hope it works out for cleveland. seems our division is going defense. was almost afraid the jags might grab brady quinn when he was falling. i would much rather face leftwich....

houston

i wonder if polian would take houston if he is still on the board given our losses at corner...

by bluegirl on Apr 28, 2007 5:42 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

Almost

Almost there! Almost there! Damn New England getting ANOTHER 1st round pick next year...I'm predicting that we are going to trade out of the first round this year. In my opinion, there isn't many more people out there that's worth a first round selection money. Not a very deep draft this year...

by MarkV0327 on Apr 28, 2007 5:44 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

we'll trade down

and pick up Anthony Gonzalez in the 2nd.

my prediction

Poz or Branch

I'll take either of them, Houston wouldn't bother me, either. Jarrett, though, I don't want the Colts to take this high. He's a second rounder.

by BSanders37 on Apr 28, 2007 6:09 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

WE WANT THE POZ!!!

Oh man I want Poz on this team. I know Polian doesn't normally take LBs in the first round but I'm SHOCKED he has fallen to here.

you've GOT to be KIDDING me

Gonzalez? GONZALEZ??!!!?!!

let's see.... our choices were
a solid CB
*a stud LB
*a tough DT
*a slowish slot receiver with good hands

Our defense is our weak spot....

YES! Let's pick the WR!!!

F** you Polian. You are a great GM but this is freakign STUPID.

well, i'm glad we got that out of the way

gonzo will fit in quite nicely with 88, 44, and 87.
The "slowish" tag can be replaced with a different tag, "toughish." Gonzo reminds me of Hines Ward, that is just finding a way to get the ball in critical situations. Troy Smith looked for gonzo when he was in trouble and on third downs. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if he was an awsome downfield blocker, like Ward.

I think this is a good pick, but maybe a little early.

I can't agree

look at this team's needs:

LB. We NEED a Linebacker. We need a good linebacker like a man lost in the desert needs water, because Keiaho and Gardner are not the answers.

DT. We've lost serious depth due to injuries and free agency. We need a solid body to line up next to Booger.

CB. We've only lost our two starting CBs and are thin there as it is.

WR was a secondary need. Are you telling me there aren't any "toughish" WRs with good hands that can be solid contributors in the slot that will be available in the 3rd round? It's not like GOnzalez is going to be the focal point of the offense. Hell, he's going to be the #4 option most of the time with 88, 87 and 44 ahead of him.

I CANNOT be convinced that this was a good pick. this was a BAD pick, plain and simple. Two stud LBs had falled to where not many thought they would be available, and hell BRANCH was still there.

we have 2 pics each of the next 3 rds.

that is were SB defenses are built.

I have a feeling that Polian knows what he's doing.

Man, our O is going to be sick!!!

I bet the spotted kitties didn't want us to draft a WR.

WR makes sense

this makes sense. if you look our offense was NOT as good this year without stokely. this fills that gap. a lot of people knocked polian for taking reggie wayne and dallas clark when we had needs on D just as we do now. anyone still knocking those picks?

yes we need some depth and players on D, but we have done well picking lower down... bethea, keiaho (have i spelled that right?), hayden. i don't think we are as badly off as people think...

by bluegirl on Apr 28, 2007 6:39 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

not a bad pick

it's not a bad pick, but I would rest easier if we had taken Paul, a position where we really need depth. But, in Polian I trust, and (mostly) in Dungy's system I trust and they will find another undrafted guy to put in.
