I wanted Winston Jr., because the Colts covered the Watts role when they signed Bynum. Hopefully Winston Jr.'s injury issues don't improve, because he could be a Derwin James level talent if he can stay healthy.

This host is a former DB and film study guy. He brought on Walley and did like an hour-and-a-half film session with him.

Good watch. Talking through the X's and O's, what he's thinking on a given play, what he should have done, etc.

Watching this was the first time I felt good about the Walley pick, because this is the exact type of thing that we don't get that teams do. SEVEN AND A HALF extra hours of film study per week in college?! That's a player I want on my team, he's a football junkie. And he showed he knew what he was supposed to be doing EVERY play. Plus, it didn't hurt that the tape showed that run support won't be an issue for him, that's something I always worry about with sub-200 pound CBs.
