    Gotta be O-line in there.

      he can run block and catch

      I like Korey Hall at FB. Think about it for a minute. Who else would you want playing FB than a converted linebacker? All linebackers wanna do is hit somebody. That's exactly the mentality I want my lead blocker to have. Remember the game in Minny, when Hall absolutely destroyed pro bowl middle linebacker E.J. Henderson leading Grant into the end zone?

      • Good call on Nicks. He's very intriguing. NOt a very good guy though.

          • It's going to be an OL we've never heard of most likely.

            Nevermind, looks like we traded it, shouldve known.

            • would not surprise me if TT trades one of these 4ths for a 5th and 6th
              TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER

                    He's 6'5" I'm pretty sure he's a DE.

                      he's a de

                      no chance of being a lb, too big and slow

                        Yup. Maybe Ted is making a push for double digits again this year.

                        • Colts take TE Tamme:


                          Strengths: Displays good initial quickness off the line of scrimmage and gets into his routes in a hurry. He possesses outstanding speed for the position. Is fast enough to run past many LB's one-on-one and has the burst to stretch the field vertically down the seam. Displays a very good natural feel for reading coverage and finding soft spots in zone. Displays soft hands; secures the ball well in traffic, can snatch on the run and is able to catch the ball over his head. He gets upfield quickly and is a threat after the catch for his position. Secures the ball well and does a nice job of protecting it as a runner in traffic. He is extremely comfortable working out of the slot and split out wide. Takes good angles as a blocker and has great feet to get into position on the second-level. At his best as a blocker when working in space. He has been durable throughout his career and he has a good overall work ethic.

                          Weaknesses: Vastly undersized for NFL TE and is even a bit undersized for NFL H-Back. Plays with a narrow base and will seriously struggle to hold up at the point of attack as an in-line blocker in the NFL. Gets rag-dolled by bigger DE's and LB's when working in the phone booth. Even when he locks on in perfect position he struggles to sustain blocks. He can get held up at the line of scrimmage when LB's lock onto him in press coverage. He's not a physical runner after the catch and doesn't break as many tackles as he should. Durability is also an issue.

                          Overall: Tamme arrived at Kentucky in 2003 as a wide receiver. He redshirted his first year and late in the 2004 season was moved to tight end. In his first three seasons (2004-'06), he appeared in 35 games (24 starts) and amassed 77 receptions for 798 yards (10.4 average) and five touchdowns. He played through the 2005 season despite a labrum tear in his right shoulder, and then tore the labrum in his left shoulder in November of that season. (Both required surgery in the offseason.) Tamme also missed a game in 2006 because of a right hamstring strain. As a senior, he started in all 13 games and delivered 56 receptions for 619 yards (11.1 average) and six touchdowns. Tamme also has some special teams' versatility, having blocked two punts and served as the Wildcats' backup holder on placekicks during his college career. Tamme is essentially an overgrown wide receiver with outstanding speed for his size. He clearly needs to add bulk and improve his strength in order to hold up as even an H-back in the NFL. Tamme projects as a mid-round pick but only for teams in search of a one-dimensional pass-catching H-back.

                              • Schmitt is still around. I like Korey Hall too, Kuhn maybe a little less. Schmitt could double as a backup RB too.

                                Trade down at 128!
