What
can you say. When you are picking last,
you aren't going to get one of the top
ten players. However the Colts had
arguably a great draft. Offensive tackle
Tony Ugoh was considered a possible
first-round talent, Anthony Gonzalez has
the ability to take over for Stokely
easily enough, even third rounder
Daymeion Hughes was in some first rounds
before the combine and his slow time.
Really this draft fills the holes they
wanted to fill very nicely. Nothing
fancy, no huge impact players, but they
really just needed to replace the role
players they lost, and they did that.
Gonzalez has
great speed.
He's a
player who
will catch
the ball
going over
the middle
and really
creates matchup
problems who
also never
gives up on
a play(see
video). In
that offense
he might
emerge as
rookie of
the year.
Ugoh is very
athletic at
6' 4" 305
lbs, he
really
didn't even
play year
round
football at
Arkansas as
he played
Track
believe it
or not. With
a few years
of strength
training and
work he
could even
be a tackly.
Great
upside.
His
only problem
is that he
ran a
horrible
slow 4.67
second 40 at
the combine
But in
Indy's cover
2 he will be
a star,. His
production
doesn't say
"slow"
Session got
drafted on
what he did
at Pitt’s
Pro Day. He
can play
outside, he
can run and
he’s a very,
very good
special-teams
player
(that’s what
they’re
looking for
at this
point in the
draft). He's
5-11 and 236
pounds, but
he has 4.57
speed.
More
impressive
than his
seven
interceptions
is his 25
pass
breakups.
The
intriguing
thing about
him is that
he’s a
cornerback
who’s over 6
feet tall
who was
still
available at
the end of
Round 5.
