This was a very good and talent filled draft. It was also a draft filled with pretenders. A team with a sharp eye can really benefit all though this draft. A team that can’t see will end up with nothing. In the AFC South, let’s take a look around at our opponents draft and see if there is anything serious going on.
Indianapolis Colts: If you look at the Colts defense you see all-world Bob Sanders, Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis. What you don’t see if the softness in the linebackers. This draft targeted that weakness.
Rnd 1: Jerry Hughes LB TCU. Jerry has been playing defensive end for TCU but he is an outside linebacker of very good ability. This is a 4 star selection in round one.
Rnd 2: Pat Angerer MLB Iowa. In the Orange Bowl, Pat was very very good. This, in my opinion, was a first round talent falling to round two. The Colts were smart enough to recognize it. Another 4 star selection.
Rnd 3: Kevin Thomas CB Southern Cal. The only thing I know about this guy is the combine numbers say he is fast. The Colts must know something no one else does. Can’t rank.
Overall: The Colts have added more quality to their team. Did they address the offensive line? Nope. But they are getting harder to score on, that is for sure.

Hello. A little about me. I came to Jacksonville in 2005 after spending a lot of time in Erie, Pa. Erie is located almost equally from the Browns, the Bills, and the Steelers. I chose the Browns. Season tickets were impossible, regular game tickets maybe. I was raised to be a football fan by my Dad who took me to see his team, the Bills. OJ Simpson days.
When I moved to Jacksonville, I could have season tickets! I found Big Cat Country and began writing for them for I think 3 years. The site went from almost nothing to very popular and then when Alfie took over, it went through the roof. Before Alfie came, I found Black and Teal laying by the roadside abandoned. I took it over on January 16, 2010 and wrote every day and every night. I recruited Zoltan to help. Then the Hof came and I handed it to him. He did great and he found Mr. Sims who he gave it to.
So welcome to the site. Here is what I have learned in my 6 years of Jaguar blogging, sometimes I'm right! Not a lot of the time, but sometimes, just like you. We are not insiders here, nor are we journalists. We are just fans, just like you. Welcome.
