Grading the Draft: Indianapolis Colts
Without a 2nd-round pick in the 2013 draft thanks to the Vontae Davis trade, the Colts found themselves with just two of the first 120 overall picks. Even though Indianapolis made the playoffs last season, they still had some holes to fill and the 2013 draft won’t be one for Indianapolis fans to write home about. Chris Tripodi breaks down why below...
Vontae Davis observes tampering and posts about it on Twitter, claims it was hackers
Indianapolis Colts cornerback Vontae Davis is not very smart, there is just no way around it. Tweeting about your friend and the Kansas City Chiefs potentially tampering is one thing. Yes, it’s bad, but it’s not nearly as bad as trying to claim that you were hacked after the fact. ”Hackers” don’t go around on Twitter and get into NFL players accounts to try and get...

The Value of Draft Picks: Why Vontae Davis Was a Good, but Expensive Pickup
In the NFL, GMs value draft picks extremely highly.
Moreso, probably, than they should.
This past offseason, Asante Samuel was traded for a 7th round pick. Now, Samuel has his limitations, and is not a particularly strong tackler, but he's one of the better corners in the league. Last season, only Darelle Revis had a better (lower) opposing quarterback passer rating when...
