Interesting draft, as we've already cut 2 of our first 6 picks.

I had already forgotten about Hogan

Remember the last preseason game when Russell defended a pass and looked pretty good?
Something happened after that game.
Drugs, domestic violence, major injury? Something had to have happened

DANE I'M SORRY I DOUBTED YOU!

PLEASE TAKE ME BACK!

If Dorsey was a bigger pimp, he'd dress like Huggy Bear on the sidelines.

Personally, I find this to be fantastic news. Dorsey isn't going to wait on players that show nothing and are clearly beaten out by 6th round players at the same position. Russell in no way, shape or form showed that he belonged on an NFL roster this year or on the field, although it won't be surprising if he's signed to the Practice Squad if he goes unclaimed.

And seriously, why would any team claim him at this point and put him on their 53?

There's something more to this than talent. Either he didn't mesh with the coaches, wasn't doing what he was told, there HAS to be a reason why you cut a 3rd round pick 1 week into his rookie season.

I'm with Pest, this kid is going to end up somewhere, and do very well in this league.

And props to Dane for not only calling this, but sticking to his guns throughout. Nobody thought a third rounder would be cut after the season, much less week 1.

If we see more and more 3rd round picks getting cut one week into their rookie season, then our scouting department should be burned to the ground. You either believe in your evaluations, or you find new evaluators. We picked the kid 74th overall - that talent didn't just disappear in a few weeks of practice in shells.

There has to be more to the story. The kid has way too much talent to give up on without ever seeing the field.

Hell, keep him inactive all year- but don't just cut him. Especially when you're keeping guys like Acker, Dat and Davis that are nothing but ST players, and are redundant at that.

Exactly. The draft position is irrelevant at this point. They would obviously have taken White over Russell if they could go back.

Jones, Ehinger, Hill, Murray, White, and Robinson is still looking like a really nice draft class.

DJ White has shown more from Day One than Russell.

Eric Murray doesn't factor into the equation because he's a safety.

Indy needs CBs in a bad bad way, and there is also the golden domer local thing. I'd bet he's claimed by somebody, and indy is a pretty prime candidate.
