EXACTLY........ Anyone, whether here on this forum or media idiots, declaring our or any team's draft is a winner or loser, is nothing more than a wannabe draft guru. Only time will tell, and it won't lie.

Time will tell has just been historically bad for us.

That being said I don't have any issue with the ogbah pick.

Anyone with half a brain would have picked at least 20 other guys over Ogbah

For sure, that's because she doesn't lie and no one can hide.

So why not just take a guy or two that actually have played OLB? Now we're counting on two guys to shed 15 pounds and learn new positions. It's odd.

So you are saying someone with half a brain would pick 20 others? Probably so considering half a brain would be a dumbass. thankfully we have someone with a WHOLE brain making the pick.

Good one?...

Ogbah was awesome during Sr. Bowl practices... but not in the game.

He was awesome in a couple games (or so I've heard), but the cut-downs I saw not so much. If a coach can find his "kill switch" and remove it, then maybe he works out.

Nassib? Just the opposite. All motor... but he lacks Ogbah's physical gifts... which can't be taught.

Dunno maybe we can mate them...

Or maybe we are going to a 4-3...

Beats the fuck outta me...

Has nothing to do with losing weight. They drafted Horton guys

And doing what with them?

260 lb LBs across the field?

An Indy-style, undersized, 3-4 D from the 2000's?

First impressions from what I'm watching..

- He doesn't have the dip and bend ability to get under a tackle and consistently turn the corner

- Rarely uses his hands

- No counter move to speak of

- No setup move either

- Don't see the lateral agility to move to OLB

The good.

- Long arms

- Good burst and get off

- Decent strength

- Good awareness stacking and shedding to the ball carrier

I don't see the transition to backer going well without losing 10-15 pounds.

I still believe this team would have been better served by going Lawson, trading down, taking Michael Thomas then working from there. This kid is Krugers replacement in time, I feel Lawson was more naturally suited and already had reps at a similar SOLB spot.

Hue jackson has said in his presser after drafting nassib that he will play defensive end ur guy is wrong about him.

I'd like to point out that Indy style defense was great when Peyton and Co. put up points but when the Patriots and Chargers were patient enough to run the ball - that defense had zero answer.

edit: Nassib is going to the 5tech. That simple.

What's a "tech"?

I'd like to point out that I did not say Indy's style worked. It had it's moments (mostly when Bob Sanders was healthy) when they had a healthy lead, but more often, it did not pan out.

I was just enforcing the point that the Colts defense was built to rush the passer and play with a lead. When that wasn't the case they were taken to task for it.

Unsympathetic

That's a defense which wasn't "built" at all. They had DE's and played prevent behind it.. Feel the innovation.
