Great article about a kid that sounds very excited and fortunate to play here. I like the pick more and more.

I really think this was a great draft. We've got to see how they all play out, but I think we got great value for our picks throughout the entire draft. More than this, I think we got a lot of high character guys who fit our system well.

Great story, thanks for posting!

More than this, I think we got a lot of high character guys who fit our system well.

I think so too. I love tough, smashmouth type guys like this kid. They have a bunch on O, and a few on D. I honestly think the offense was "tougher" for the most part than the defense was last year.

Not sure what Meeks will do. Indy didn't have a tough D when he was there they had an athletic fast one. BUT...it's worth noting that with the departure of Dungy, the Colts seem to be drafting bigger guys on D. Heck they signed Seward, a LB who could have been a DL for Indy size wise when Dungy was there. This seems to suggest that the athletic makeup of that defense in Indy was weighted more heavily on what Dungy wanted. I think Meeks will want more athleticism but I don't think it will be to the extent Dungy valued it as far as going more towards speedy over size. That hurt them on run D BIG TIME.

    • 100%. He's a serviceable starter but not a shut down CB by any means. Not too bad for $5.25M /year.
    • Crap on a cracker! I didn't see that from the original video. That's nasty.
    • It is like he just can’t be bothered with that stuff.    But seriously, rebuilding your entire physical operating procedure is so difficult that very few can do it. You have to get it in you so deep that you don’t think about it. Most people fall back to their comfort zone at the biggest moments. Because it worked for them up until ‘now’ and they don’t have to think about it.  You would think people would know this but here we are.  His so obviously wack unorthodox mechanics screamed to me that a rebuild would be necessary and that the single biggest reason I was so opposed to taking him.  It plays out all the time. He is in and out of what Canales tried to train him to do. That’s what the emphasis on 1 2 3 plant throw was about last offseason, as much as it was about getting the ball out quicker. But it is all connected.  You just can’t get the ball out that fast with his old routine, slows you down.
