Very nice pick by the Colts. I know Mingo gets killed around here, but he's got great potential and is a nice little risk @ #24 as opposed to in the top 15.
Wow, alright I am surprised, I thought you'd go with another player same position. I like the some risk/high reward aspect for the Colts.
I personally surprised myself with that pick. Many are high on him and he is one of the most talented players in the draft. Im wary of Keke in the top 10, but for the Colts who are at 24, I think its a solid pick. I wanted to go OL with Lane Johnson or Cooper but they were gone. OLB in Pagano's new scheme is a huge need because Freeney and Mathis are old, expensive and arent great fits.
Glad I could help with that hahaha. Mingo has a higher ceiling than that other OLB/DE prospect IMO (although Idk if he'll reach it), which is a good area to go for at 24. Im interested to see what else you do with the upcoming picks.
Does the clock shut down at 10 or mid night, making a three hour drive home from my kids b ball game in a fing ice storm and don't want to miss San Fran's pick Ps: screw you Cleveland and your weather!!
I'm not sure, I think its 10 (for some reason). Either way PM myself and others your board for safe measure.
I was in Cleveland Tuesday took my youngest Son to a CAVs/Celtics Game at the Q. Tuesday Morning the lake effect snow hit the area pretty good.
Damn, I didn't want to go WR there, but I didn't like the WR run that was forming. It fills a big need for the Seahawks I think, in having an explosive WR that also is not a long term project. Hopkins can start next year, is a deep threat, and has good hands. But I didn't think WRs would start going quite as early here, and I couldn't chance being stuck with projects in the second round because this is a win now team. But if a couple of picks were different (or if Mingo was still on the board) I would've have gone against it. Judging by the mock draft, there are going to be a few gaskets blown when Rex drafts Mingo in the real draft, lol.
Nice pickup with Hopkins, to me, the 3 way battle between Allen, Hopkins, and Patterson for the #1 receiver spot in the draft is one of the more intriguing stories heading through the combine and up until the draft. The 40 yard dash will be HUGE for Hopkins.
Yeah, it was just too big of a need. Plus adding in their running game, teams can't really overload on these WRs.
Good pick in Hopkins there. Was hoping he'd get taken and not make my decision tougher for KC at the top of rd 2.
