We got smoked...

Ok, it's only day one, but I think I may have just witnessed the worst draft ever for the Colts. We trade down when there are impact players available for our need positions, and then make a reach at a LB and and take a TE and Safety, no D-Line help, no Corners. Unless Polian knows something I don't (which is likely, since he runs the organization), this seems unacceptable. Pollard could be cut, justifying the hartsock selection; Bashir could be gone, justifying the Sanders selection...and poor Gilbert Gardner- I'm a big Purdue fan, and I love the guy, but I think this was just too high. Granted, other Purdue LBs have been surprisingly good, but high 3rd round for a guy projected 5-7.

I think sander and doss to start at safety seem scarry (sander a great hitter). Also, last year both te got inj (make it reasonable to draft some depth).

ugh...is all I can say!

Ugh. That draft was horrible. Who was the first CB we took? Von friggin Hutchins? Jesus. It's times like these that make me almost want to see a trade involving Edge and half of the Dolphins defensive starters.

i think jason david was before hutchins but i know what you mean. i can't believe not a single d-lineman and only one o-line. i remember i was sitting here thinking about all guys that could help us every time the colts were on the board and granted lots of people passed on them too but why not try a third on derrick strait or will smith(that's the osu cb right) or al those dts that fell to the third and fourth. instead they'd either trade down or draft exactly the one position i figured they wouldn't touch. they have drafted a whole whack of safeties in the last few years. doss, bird, bashir, now sanders and all pretty high picks. then te? who would of thought after taking clark in the 1st last year they would go te in the 3rd? you can always make cases for why they pick so and so but they could have done a lot better or at least made me feel better. lol
