Very versatile receiving corps you have built.Anyways, I feel like one of the most underrated problem with the colts since Andrew Luck's tenure has been the fact that he's been forced to make several of his WRs great rather than having great ones. Sure, he has T.Y, but the rest of the passing offense went through either Eric Ebron(who I think Luck made really good), and the RBs. The other WRs were Chester Rogers and dontrelle Inman. Not bad players, but they're average. Jack Doyle going down kind of hurt even if it didn't look like it because they lost their Heath Miller type.
Tyler Higbee can contribute as a blocker and is better than the stats indicate
Noah Fant could become a stud and I think he's a great route runner. He's effectively replaces Ebron in the short term and is a possible upgrade in the long term
Adam Humphries is one of the best slot WRs in the game and is underrated after catch
Michael Crabtree is a red zone weapon and won't have to deal with being the team's #1 like last year. T.Y is good enough to to command double teams.
Ridley gives him a good possession WR and red-zone threat who can get open on third downs and keep the offense on schedule.
Thank you.Very versatile receiving corps you have built.
Much appreciated. Appreciate the breakdowns in general. Honestly, as time passes, I've become more split on my own selection in Thompson as well. I feel like I may have fallen victim to some degree to subset scouting, and I was riding the high of that Louisville tape perhaps a little too hard. In retrospect, I wish I had more time to scout. I likely would've taken someone like Jeffery Simmons had I come across his tape before then.So now that I'm back in the real world, with internet that has more than 5 mb/s (Parent's house for the weekend), selections I loved in the second were @Truth 's guys, getting an infusion of youth in that secondary with Julian Love and Deionte Thompson. Many draft analysts are split on the latter (myself included), but going to New England to work with Bill, and getting him in the mid second is undeniable value.
He's an extremely patient corner. No question he needs to improve his footwork, but his length, agility, instincts and press ability added along with his speed are very good. I think Greedy Williams and Byron Murphy are 1a and 1b in this draft and it's arguable who is 1a, imo. No question that Byron Murphy has much better technique, but he is also better at off the ball coverage.Williams is not really too impressive. In this class he is the best corner (arguably) but I don't think he's anything special.

I am, however, more settled on Love. I think his patience, his read and react ability and his fluid hips could all contribute to potentially being a solid starting CB. While he ran a 4.45 at his Pro Day, he doesn't show elite speed on tape, but I do feel like his other traits make up for it. Plus, if that's not worth the selection, then this alone should make him worthy of the placement:
Exactly! Good comparison. I was wondering whom he reminded me of. That's spot on.Love reminds me a lot of the Fuller brothers, specifically Kyle Fuller. Very similar athleticism, patience and confidence when playing outside.
It's been a Long time since I've seen one of those.I couldn't go much longer without using one of the always-applicable Spongebob timecards
you had to remind me
