Blackmon reminds me of Crabtree when he was in college. If thats the case, I don't see him being worth a early first round pick. I think he's very similar to Boldin. Boldin isn't a high first round receiver, he's a late round, good but not great receiver. I'd much rather have an Alshon Jefferey who reminds me of a Plaxico Burress. If you want to look just at this year alone, Boldin has like what 4 TD's. Plaxico has what 7-9 now? Because he's a long strider and great redzone target. That's how I see Alshon, Blackmon will be solid but not great.

I consider Boldin a much better player than Plax, not to mention he's a model citizen. Boldin doesn't have breakaway speed but he has size & strength & is an exceptional runner. Get him the ball & he'll get plenty of YAC. Plax has always been a threat but has never been as consistent as Boldin. I would bet Boldin is the better blocker too.

Funny, Alshon's draft status will hinge largely on his speed. Right now, word is that's all he lacks. Blackmon, as others have mentioned, is big AND is a game breaker w/deep speed.

If Blackmon wasn't a Big Time WR like Calvin Johnson was, he wouldn't be projected in the top 5 of most mock drafts.

Hate to always say it like this but losing out is the way to go in order to be sure we can draft the QB we want

welcome to the club

Folks on here at times say thats not a true fan but I disagree, I'm looking out for the future and we need a Rookie QB to label as our Savior of a complete mess for 20 years. It's time to change that and draft a QB in the top 7

Wrong attitude. Your falling for the trap that all skins fan fall into, a couple good on paper acquistions and then midway through the season its "ooh well next year we could draft him and get him in FA." Repeat trend. Thats what its been for the past 10+ years now.

Are you suggesting that, despite years of ignoring the QB position, and before the year started, the Colts decided to lose all the games they could in order to secure the first pick in the April, 2012 draft? That's beyond insane. They just fired their D Coord - was that part of the plan? If they intended to tank, why not fire him in August? Who is in on this great "conspiracy to lose"?

As someone else said, tell your theory to an unemployed Jim Caldwell as he sits and watches the draft at home this year.

The Colts front office has shown an incredible lack of foresight and simply "Lucked" out. They don't where horseshoes on their helmets for nothing!

LOL ok I'll take the title insane conspiracy theorist :)
