Very weak argument considering you are lobbying for Bortles.se-alum;1561409 wrote:But but but.....he dominated mediocre to bad SEC defenses!
That was in response to everyone saying he is obviously good because he had good games against the SEC west. There is much more to being ready for the NFL than putting up huge college numbers. Andrew Luck never put up huge numbers, but was considered a can't miss draft pick. How often does a spread QB come into the NFL and be effective? Newton is the closest, and he led one of the worst offenses in the league. I want Bortles because he has the physical ability, but more importantly, he comes from a pro-style offense where he had the responsibility of changing plays at his discretion.Pick6;1561419 wrote:Very weak argument considering you are lobbying for Bortles.

Settle down there champ. There are a lot of us here who also want Bortles. Can't put all your eggs in one basket though.se-alum;1561430 wrote:That was in response to everyone saying he is obviously good because he had good games against the SEC west.

Who's the best QB in the draft? Neither Bridgewater or Bortles are guarentees to me. There's a lot of opportunity cost in trading up for one of those guys.SportsAndLady;1561852 wrote:Texans up for trading the 1st pick...Browns could get the best QB in the draft if they want it..

Watkins is a stud either way. But an interesting name that will possibly be there at the colts pick is Marquis Lee. I'd take Lee in a heart beatSportsAndLady;1562174 wrote:I don't think you realize just how bad OSU's defense, and secondary, is.
Watkins is good, but unless he's there with our Colts' first rounder, forget about him.
This year of his 1,400 yards almost 1,000 was after the catch. Dude is a stud and if none of the QBs wow leading up to the draft I now want him at 4 and a QB with the colts pick or laterSportsAndLady;1562174 wrote:I don't think you realize just how bad OSU's defense, and secondary, is.

That's exactly what I'm worried about with a WR like Watkins. Yards after the catch aren't guarantees in the nfl. It's easy to run all over ACC secondaries (and OSUs). It's not easy to run on nfl secondaries.bases_loaded;1562197 wrote:This year of his 1,400 yards almost 1,000 was after the catch.

Id love to take a WR with our colts pick. Lee next to Gordon would be nice.Crimson streak;1562189 wrote:Watkins is a stud either way. But an interesting name that will possibly be there at the colts pick is Marquis Lee. I'd take Lee in a heart beat
