Ok so here's my first question. I'm trying to figure out who the Colts will try to draft in the first two rounds. Predicting what Polian will do can seem like an impossible task sometimes. Last year though, I thought Donald Brown might be on their radar. If you look back at some of Polian's draft picks, many of them were the best statistically in their position during college. Donald Brown lead the NCAA in rushing, Austin Collie lead the NCAA in recieving yards, the year before Philip Wheeler lead the NCAA in forced fumbles, and if you go back through old drafts each guy had some great stats in college. I know the Colts need some help on the offensive line, but they usually don't draft OL so early in the draft. If there's a pattern, it's that they keep getting Peyton more toys in the early rounds. Using my theory, who are some offensive players that attended the combine that lead their peers statistcally? When you cross-reference the team needs with the most productive guys in the draft, you can try to think like Polian does. Obviously I could be way off base... What do you think?

Welcome aboard Coach!! I was wondering...Do the coaches wear eye-black in the draft rooms??? LOL

So did Dean Dalton ever actually come here...or are his posts just invisible to me? :p

No, he's been tied up with trying to renevate his house that caught fire. He's really sorry he's not been around. I'll email him.
