Around SBN: Knicks Beat Lakers With Familiar Strategy

With the 27th pick in the 2009 MCM Mock Draft....

....the Indianapolis Colts (represented by Hal) select....

Ziggy_medium

Evander "Ziggy" Hood, DT, Missouri

Though the Colts will undoubtedly be devastated that the rule changes at the recent owners' meetings did not include a provision to allow them to draft players off of the Titans practice squad, Hood will have to do. The Colts are notoriously weak at DT and he would bring some much needed bulk to their puny interior D-line.  Hood possesses a rare combination of strength and speed.  At 300 pounds, he still ran a 4.89 40 (tied for fastest among DTs) and threw up 34 reps on the bench press (one more than the 337 pound BJ Raji), giving him the most impressive all around performance of any DT at the combine this year.  The Colts, who value speed on defense above all else, will love the fact that they can get a guy with some beef who still has pretty quick feet for his size.

The Colts will probably be hoping that Peria Jerry falls to them, but with him off the board, as well as all of the 1st round quality WRs, Hood is really the only player that makes since for them here.  Hood is a heck of an athlete by the numbers.  The only question that remains is whether or not they can get anything out of a player at this position without Washburn doing all of the dirty work and coaching him up.

Sounds Impressive.

Does anyone know if there planning on using Antonio “Mookie” Johnson, they got him off our practice squad, I remember him being a beast in the weight room, but i didnt know if it ever translated to the field.

They used him

he played run downs, but they did put Foster (265lbs) and Dawson (254lbs) out there at the same time instead of using Mookie in most situations.

Mookie is the reason Indy doesn’t have to reach for a DT early if Jerry and Hood don’t drop (or Polian doesn’t like them as much as the people at SB) If they get quality picks elsewhere they can do without another big DT.

Of all teams..

To make fun of “stealing” their teams players, the TItans should not be doing that to the Colts.

Re Mookie Johnson:

He played well for us last year, and when he got into the lineup, our run D improved markedly.

Seriously.

Which teams needs to “coach up” which players? Hm. That was HYSTERICAL.

I do hope we get Hood. He’s #1 on my list.

please find "stealing" anywhere in this post

your point about mookie is exactly my point:
a guy who can’t even get on our roster can be a real improvement for the colts at the position. simply proof of how dire a need it is.

and there is a big difference in picking up guys that a team would like to keep but can’t afford and taking guy who can’t even make our 53 man roster.

it's not like Indy hasn't filled that hole over and over

they’ve just had ridiculous bad luck at that spot.

Corey Simon, Hurts his knee, his weight issues overflow, his joints go to shit

Monte Reagor, hit by another car driving to the stadium for a game

Anthony McFarland, blown out knee in camp

Quinn Pitcock, quit football on his way to camp his second season

Ed Johnson, couldn’t get his head out of his ass for his last chance at football

Indy suddenly had a need and picked up a fringe player to play part time.

Ziggy Hood is going to be a great NFL player

If he drops to us we should heavily consider him.

Colts suck

Cortland Finnegan is a beast

you can really only count Mookie

since Indy dropped Petrokowski down to their practice squad so the Titans could have taken him back if they had been willing to carry him on the roster for two weeks or they could have talked him into signing for their PS instead of Indy’s.
