What do you think about Anderson? Outside of Foster I'm hard pressed to give you a better linebacker out of Alabama right now.

Anderson is strong and his technique is impressive. He knows how to use his hands.

You mentioned it. The guy has some violent hands. I love how stout he is on the edge. He doesnt have the highest ceiling, but he has a pretty high floor if that makes sense. He's a football player. We need football players.

Well coached. Professional approach to the game.

I wouldnt mind taking a look at him in the 2nd or 3rd round.

Agreed.

You have to pull the trigger if he's there.

It would be unforgivable if they were to pass on him.

He's got the ability to play in space, Tennessee dropped him into coverage a noticeable amount in the film of him that I watched, and he didn't look like a fish out of water.

Favorite corner in the draft?

I like Lattimore. He has pretty good ball skills and ideal size.

Maybe that's true, there's lots of football I have not watched. I think he would be more successful early if his responsibilities were limited DE. I don't have to tell you that playing in space in the NFL is a lot different than in CFB.

The Colts picked up a 2017 compensatory draft pick. Pick number 38 in the 4th round. This is pick #144 overall... Compensatory free agents are determined by a formula based on salary, playing time and postseason honors. The formula was developed by the NFL Management Council. Not every free agent lost or signed by a club is covered by this formula.


Lost: Coby Fleener; Jerrell Freeman, Dwight Lowery

Gained: Patrick Robinson, Scott Tolzien

That may well have been an equal part Pags and his inability to work with the talent he has. Freeney was more a system issue than talent.
