Worked out well.  Because they got a once in 5 years OG, kinda similar to the kid the Colts drafted last year.  And one of the best LT prospects to come out the past decade.

In 4 seasons the Colts will have to either give their Guard a contract close to 90 million dollars when they could be getting virtually identical production from a 5th round pick at a fraction o the cost or watch him go to Jacksonville.

 

You don't draft guys in the first round for one contract. The Colts are stupid.

All I’m saying is it would be stupid to completely reject taking a guard in the first round. All depends on the specific players available.

2nd-3rd is a sweet spot for a interior OL

We got Trai Turner in the 3rd

Patriots both starting OG- 3rd and 4th,

Moton (botton of the 2nd),

Eagles starting LG-3rd

Dion Dawkins- Bills LT who was a OG prospect 

Chargers starting LG- 3rd

Baltimore's starting OG's- 3rd and 4th rounders

Bears, Cody Whitehair- late 2nd (right at the spot our two 3rds would equal)

Vikings center- Elfein, 3rd rounder

Tampa's top OL LG Marpit- bottom of 2nd 

Just to name a few

Agree

But when you can get a Stud DL while still getting a real good OG in the 3rd

Vs a Good OG in the first and Avg DL in the 3rd.

 

Listened to a interview with a scout awhile back.

They mentioned.  OL, besides your #1 OT in the draft.  The value slides obviously, but not that steep of a drop.  The difference kn the 1st round OG and 3rd round isnt that far off

DL on the other hand once it gets out of those top guys it drops off 

The difference in a 1st round DL and a 3rd is equivalent to the difference in a 1st round interior OL and a 6th rounder. 

While the difference in the 1st and 3rd round interior OL is just the difference in a 1st round guy and a 2nd round DL.

Check your premise.

My premise is fine, your understanding is wrong.

The Colts will either choose to give their OG a near on 90 million dollar contract or they will then acquire a player who earns them just as many wins and realize they wasted a 1st round pick on a player who is going elsewhere.

      One of his handful of good games... If he can ever get to a consistently high level, then he'd change minds. As it is... Meh.

      As I watch Darnold tonight...

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      People are also jumping to the conclusion that Darnold would have figured it out here. I very much disagree. He needed a place where he could be a backup for a while with no pressure. So all the pining over him was pointless. Highly unlikely he would do anything but continue to fail had he stayed here. The one that got away was Baker. He was not as bad as he seemed here. He was always a good player but we were a two bit, middle of the road college program grasping at straws. Had we invested the time in Baker that we have done for Bryce, history would have been quite a bit different. To what end, who knows? Doesn't matter. There are a million hindsight stories that are very unkind to this franchise. There is no one that is more significant than the other. It is what it is.

      He’s a serviceable starter for us that doesn’t cost much. The reason he doesn’t cost much is that he has flaws, one of which appears to be catching the ball.  It would be good to have a better corner opposite JC but he’s not at the top of the list when it comes to people we need to upgrade.
