Rice, Jarrett, Leonard, Smith 4 good playmakers still left, I'm sure i'm leaving someone out though"I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious." - Vince Lombardi

I think so. They have 11 picks (two 3rd, two 4th, two 5th, and two 7th round picks), so it's not like they need more middle round picks.Originally posted by JoemailmanOakland hasn't take a WR. Are they keeping Moss?"There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted Thompson

Take all of our combined guesses at players over the last month or two...
Do you think anyone guessed correctly on even one pick this year? We'll find out but I'll bet we didn't hit too many; even collectively.
I'm a draft nerd just like the rest of you guys but it always amazes me when people come out with these 7 round mocks and act like they have any credibility.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.

Not one rumor has come to fruition. I wouldn't hold your breath that the Moss rumors will be any different."There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted Thompson

To the Colts...
Tony Ugoh
OT | (6'5", 301, 5.06) | ARKANSAS
Scouts Grade: 82
Strengths: Possesses good height and adequate bulk. Still has room on his frame to add 10-15 pounds. He displays an extremely strong upper-body. He knocks defenders back with initial pop and uses his strong arms and hands to sustain blocks once locked on. His body weight is well-proportioned and he displays good balance. He lacks downfield mobility as a run blocker but he does show good short-area quickness. He looks much more natural when working laterally and backwards than he does when attempting to reach the second level. He has a quick set in pass pro and uses his powerful punch to jar defenders initially. He also shows the ability to shuffle laterally when working against double moves on the perimeter.
Weaknesses: Lacks ideal athleticism as a left tackle prospect but will need to add some bulk to his frame to fit the traditional mold of a right tackle in the NFL. Shows quickness in the short-area but lacks ideal foot speed and will struggle to reach the second-level as a run blocker at times. He is high-cut and is not a natural knee bender in pass pro. He is still a bit raw and will not get away with sub-par footwork in the NFL like he did in college. Must learn to play with more consistent leverage. There's also concern that he doesn't show a great love for the game of football and needs a fire lit under him in order to get full effort.
Overall: Ugoh arrived at Arkansas in 2002, appeared in the season's first two contests against Boise State (9/7) and South Florida (9/14) before suffering a knee injury and receiving a medical redshirt. In 2003, he saw action off the bench in eight of 13 games, including the final seven, as a redshirt freshman. Ugoh then started 10 of 11 contests at left tackle in 2004, only missing the Georgia game (10/23) after passing kidney stones earlier that week. In 2005, he started all 11 games at left tackle. Ugoh continued to anchor the Arkansas offensive line in 2006 with starts in all 14 contests at his left tackle spot.
Ugoh shot up draft boards thanks to a strong senior season. He possesses very good size, a powerful upper body and adequate mobility. However, he lacks ideal lower-body strength, plays too high at times and comes with a reputation of lacking passion for the game of football. If he works hard at the next level he can be molded into a good starter -- most likely by bulking up and playing right tackle. However, he is a bit of a boom-or-bust prospect in our opinion, which is why we don't feel comfortable giving him anything higher than a second-round grade.
