Malik Hooker. He'll be gone before 15, but if not? If Mixon is still there in round 2, I'd take him, but not in Round 1.

The only thing about Foster is that shoulder that might scare me off. Bad attitude, I think losing his patience was bad but not the worst and it happens. Bad brain, I think he is smart just maybe not book smart. Saban has a complicated playbook and he mastered it, he never seemed to have any hesitatation when it came to responsibilities. Just not every guy can do X's and O's on a chalkboard in an interview setting. But when on the field I think he is very competent.

Mixon losing control worries me. You have to cross a threshold in your head to hit a woman like that. At least I do. Even if he is ok, the negative press that will inevitably accompany him will be a headache, especially for a rookie GM. You need to be in the right market to draft Mixon.

people love tj watt because he is jj's brother and he is white.

Well those are good blood lines. But TJ has great tape and he is still learning the position. He was all over the field against LSU. I don't see him as a pure EDGE though. More a strong side with the ability to set the edge and also rush the passer. He is perfect in a 3-4.

McCaffrey will be good, but he needs to play in the right system. Surprised the pats traded down, he would be perfect there. He is not a bell call back where he can run it inside for 20 plays a game.

I really see the Patriots going after this guy even though there is a team that has "guaranteed" drafting him.

That would kinda suck because he would fit that system perfectly.

I would sh*t my pants a little. Just a little slippage

I agree.....lol, I think he's going to be good but he would not be helping what the Colts need most which is defense - defense and defense.

I know the Colts are in bad need of defensive improvement, but if they can generate a consistent running game, the offense would stay on the field longer. This too would improve the defense. Within the first 3 rounds, I'd like to see them get a quality running back.

I think not making the visits was a mistake, a lot can happen in a warroom on draft day. Some guy could fall. He should of gone. I think the Broncos made that promise. But I would also keep an eye on the Jets. They might do some off the wall shit like that.

He would tear it up in that pats system. I had him slotted there till they traded down. He will give secondaries fits for years if he can get a accurate QB to throw to him.

I don't think we would use him correctly. Not really what we want in a RB.
