I mean seriously, the Colts could have taken Aundrae Allison, Chansi Stuckey, or Johnnie Lee Higgins in Rd 3 or 4 and he'd do just as well as a slot guy. You don't use your 1st round pick on a #3 WR. CHris Houston, Marcus McCauley, Alan Branch, etc would have been better

No, actually you blasted everyone who disagreed with you on that. Telling why you think it is a good pick a slightly better argument.

OK, I thought mabye the Colts saw something we did not, I think most people on here are smart so no I am not calling them out.

Whoever gets C Ryan Kalil is getting a cornerstone C, much like NYJ did when they grabbed C Nick Mangold last season

Moorehead's career stats. The slot was one of the biggest needs for the Colts.

Gonzalez is an upgrade.

You're missing the point.

Is finding a starting DT or LB less important than an upgrade at the Z? No

Was there a possibility of finding an upgrade at the Z in round 3 or 4? Yes

I don't think slot is that big of a need. Moorehead is adequate, but the Titans have one of the best TE units in the league. A guy like Dallas Clark causes a lot of matchup problems, so they use him a lot. On the other side, they keep Utecht in to block and occasionally run routes.

I agree, I think an upgrade could have been found later. But Peyton probably wants someone with a guaranteed work ethic comming in, so I see why they went with the suppposed hard working Gonzalez. But they have glaring needs on D, so the pick, to me, is a head scracher.

I think most people would see them picking D, I thought the same.

Correct and because as they pointed out on espn he (Gonzalez) is a smart guy that will block. They said in the slot it is key to have a guy that can block and if he is smart willing to block and has the speed he has it seems like a good pick. Plus they needed depth with an aging MH. If he got hurt and they had no more depth they would be screwed.
