Beerball Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 File this in the FWIW folder. Colts coach Tony Dungy played defensive back in the NFL, but he would put his money on pass-rushers over cornerbacks every time. "Bill [Polian] and I talk about that," Dungy said from the league meetings in West Palm Beach, Fla. "If you had that choice, you've got to go with the front people because they are harder to find and they have more of an impact on the game." Bill from NYC gives two thumbs up!!!
Brandon Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 Here are the Colts last 10 top picks: 2007 - WR Anthony Gonzales 2006 - RB Joseph Addai 2005 - CB Marlin Jackson 2004 - S Bob Sanders 2003 - TE Dallas Clark 2002 - DE Dwight Freeney 2001 - WR Reggie Wayne 2000 - LB Rob Morris 1999 - RB Edgerrin James 1998 - QB Peyton Manning One defensive lineman in the group and a whole lot of skill position players, including two DBs. Not that it proves anything, mind you. Just an interesting contrast to Dungy's statement.
colin Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 i think the real secret (from looking at the colts drafts) is get get a friggen super star stud every draft and you'll be ok peyton -- maybe best ever? edge -- super star RB morris -- miss wayne -- stud probowl top 5 type wr freeney -- best pass rusher in the nfl (top 3 anyway) and a monster clark -- top 3 tight end snaders -- D player of year, stud and a half jackson -- very solid cb if not great addai -- stud rb, from day 1 gonzo -- p1mp wr, very promising. i think getting great players > always getting linemen
