Brissett has a strong arm and can make all the needed throws in this league.

When his first read was not open though and he had to read the field, decide what to do, he struggled mightily.

now yes, granted, the coaching did him no favors. And he was basically a rookie. But still, he has not yet shown he can be a starter on a consistent basis and win. Maybe he will develop into that, but no team would count on that based on what was seen so far

I hadn't seen Georgia play before, but after watching last night, it would be awesome if the Colts could trade back some and get Roquan Smith.

I was thinking the same thing. That guy has some serious game speed.

Isn't he tiny though? Like 5'11 and 215?

I may be misinformed then. I'm still wary of spending a high pick on a LB like him unless he's on a level with Patrick Willis or Luke Keuchley.

He's currently ranked higher than Chubb on Matt Miller's big board (#5 overall), so you wouldn't be able to trade back very far. Miller also sees him as more of a WLB in a 4-3 due to his size.

Regardless of where they draft a player like him, that sideline to sideline playmaking ability is something they desperately need at LB.

I believe it. He looks like a better playmaker than Chubb does.

But he doesn't rush the passer or set the edge like Chubb, either.

It looks like Allen and Mayfield are starting to creep up some draft boards. If we could get the Broncos or Jets to move up to #3, that would be pretty ideal. Get something like #6, #38, a 4th, and still get a very good player like Chubb, Smith, OL. That would give you multiple early 2nds to augment the defense or OL.
