I like Riddick. I think he could be a defensive mainstay for a decade on whichever team he lands on. If it were the Colts, I would not be disappointed.

However, Foster is heads and shoulders above Riddick in athleticism. Now, we don't know if Foster's head will ever allow his shoulders to play at that level (okay, bad pun) but if the staff felt like Foster was teachable and trainable, you don't pass him over.

However, I sort of hope that Foster is picked above us so that we don't have to make that decision and we can grab a kid at OLB, ILB or CB that has their head on straight, has great character & leadership and great (if not titanic) physical skills.

Cheers,

It appears to be ILB Brandon Bell from Penn State and he is projected as a 7th rounder or UDFA. Nothing special that I can see from any of the quick looking I just did.

I'm not there yet, but I'm starting to hear this one out (and the only ILB I'd consider over Foster even in conversation).

The thing with Riddick is that he can move to a rush position on passing downs, which adds some value. Frankly, I'm not sure he's an ILB at all from the tape I've seen of him. Sure, he'll get pushed around a bit in the run game, but there's a lot of Robert Mathis in him coming off the edge. Why waste that at ILB on run downs?

I've watched Brandon Bell play many times. He's a damn good ILB, who I wouldn't mind seeing as a Colt.

Then I hope he goes undrafted because unless we trade down we have no 6th or 7th round pick to use on him.
