No. It's not.

I mean.. I was worried too, until I watched him.

I'd add RG and LB (Zaire) to the found list. Possibly Brents at CB as well.

And you're right. Especially at corner because what I meant to emulate there was... with QB, Ts, slot, and as you mentioned 1 CB.. those are some premier positions to be "set" at moving forward. 

Also... Jaylon Jones is NOT bad.  I still want to draft another corner high next year, I think, but I like Jones. And was really liking Flowers.

Richardson certainly has the physical traits to be great. Only questions are his availability and ability to process defensive looks/make the right decisons/passes (touch). I think if you watched him you can't deny he looked the part before injury.

I'm also happy with Jones and Flowers. Injuries have hurt CB development more than any other position imo. As for RT I would like to see us resign Smith and keep Freeland as a 6th man, of sorts, on the OL as I think he is the most versatile we have. Feel like this last year's draft could be end up being a great one if health allows it.

Ehh.. it would depend on Smiths price tag for me.

I agree.  I like a lot of things I see with him, but can he stay healthy?  Can he improve his accuracy?

Can't imagine he demands too much with the injury issues, I'd assume

Right right.  Best ability is availability.

Questioning Richardson is wild after what he showed us he could do. There weren't any issues, dudes a stud, and he's 21.

...except there are issues.  Injury issues and accuracy issues.  Not bad enough to dislike him, but saying there are no issues is wild

He showed me he gets hurt.  I did like what I saw from him when he was on the field.  The injury bug is an issue.

It's not really a reason to question him though. Injured on some freak plays. I don't really see that is a cause for concern. 

The worry coming into the season was---- his very average play in college, was that because he was just very average or ???....

Those questions have been answered, like the entire NFL saw it.

There aren't, though. Football players get hurt sometimes. Accuracy issues, what?

You really didn't notice any accuracy issues?  58% completion is good to you?

I'm not saying he's bad.  I'm just saying he needs to work on his accuracy.  Most rookies do

It's just not something that looks like it'll be an issue moving forward. The only game that was a struggle for him was against LAR... when A Donald was draped all over the entire game. 

I did think he might have some accuracy issues coming out of college. That didn't show up in the limited time he was on the field.

Reminder:  early Colts game today against the Cheatriots

Do they check ball pressure by pounds per centimeter there?  What are German laws on cheating?  Check the skies for Volkswagon drones

I've kind of given up on the Colts this season, so regardless of how this game unfolds, I'm just going to take a moment to appreciate that I lived long enough to see the Patriots go back to being a poverty franchise.

Amen. Not the NFL darlings anymore. That title goes to the Chiefs.
