    How much do these type of statistics really translate to anything of real value? I’d take a guy that could catch a ball with 2 defenders all over them over one who gets wide open and drops everything. Then again, I’ll admit I don’t know what most of these graphs mean or how they are compiled, or who makes the call on what is considered separation. Analytics are fascinating, but not gospel.

    A little off topic, as Colts fans do we think a true #1 tight end could help the offense a lot? I had hope Woods could be the guy, or even Ogletree. But neither can stay on the field. Is Steichens’ system not predicated on a solid tight end? Do we keep rolling with whoever is healthy for years to come?

    Alec is not it. We need some help there. He’s a great blocker. Love his effort. But he’s clearly not NFL caliber.

    Not surprised to see Alec Pierce where he is. It’s why I feel like WR should still on the board for our first round pick. A Nabers or Odunze would do so much for this offense. Pittman/Downs/rookie + JT with AR at quarterback (with the rookie, Downs and AR all on rookie contracts) would be ridiculous in Steichen’s offense.

      Definitely need Nabers. We have a big WR in Pittman and Pierce. We have a smaller “slot” WR in Downs. We need someone in between them in size that can get separation.
