Inexcusable waste of a draft pick, especially considering that they also picked up Andre Johnson in free agency prior to the draft and paid him $22 million dollars on a three year contract.
Everyone wants to bitch about spending high draft picks on the offensive line, but last night was a prime example of why you do so when the opportunity affords itself and when the need is there. You don't get your QB killed for the sake of drafting even more "skill" position players when you've already invested in them.
Costanzo was the only O-lineman worth two shits out there last night. Mewhort is a rookie.
There are 53 players on a roster for a reason.
Since 2000, the Colts have spent a grand total of six picks on the offensive line in the first three rounds. (That's six picks out of a possible 44 over 15 Drafts.):
2007 - Tony Ugoh, 2nd Round
2008 - Mike Pollak, 2nd Round
2011 - Anthony Costonzo, 1st Round; Ben Ijalana, 2nd Round
2013 - Hugh Thorton, 3rd Round
2014 - Jack Mewhort, 2nd Round
Only Costonzo and Mewhort are starting.
That's ****ing horrible.
You want to know why their offensive line looks like a pile of smashed assholes? It's because it is a pile of smashed assholes.
However, I did read it around here that they were the team to beat in 2015, so who knows? I'm sure that they will pull it all together and right there championShip before the end of the season. Because Andy Reid sucks.
