26CornerBlitz Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Bill Polian says Colts had first-round draft grade on Tom Brady Bill Polian was enshrined last month into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. During his career, the vastly successful general manager turned the Bills, Panthers and Colts into winners. His induction into Canton certainly was helped by the career of Peyton Manning, but Polian revealed this week that Indianapolis also had eyes on another quarterback. Tom Brady. Didn't think any team had him graded that high coming out of Michigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBill Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Yeah, why such secrecy? If the horseshoes really rated him that highly why would they let him slip through 5 rounds? Seems to me if you are in the 5th round, even with Peyton as your QB, you would take the guy for depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 bull ****. They drafted QB Paul Miranda with the first pick of the 4th round. So they took a QB in the 4th, but someone other than the guy they graded a 1st round pick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanners Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Ok Bill. Great football mind, but as he ages he says stuff that are very suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 bull ****. They drafted QB Paul Miranda with the first pick of the 4th round. So they took a QB in the 4th, but someone other than the guy they graded a 1st round pick? Paul Miranda was a CB that the Colts selected in the 1999 draft. Brady was taken in the 2000 draft. But it's still bull ****. There was nothing in his college career to suggest he would be any good and as a result no one had a grade higher than 6th round on him, otherwise he'd have been taken before then.

1st&ten Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Revisionist history, trying to make himself look good. If they thought he was that good, they would have scooped him up & traded him later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brady, while certainly not a top one or two round pick out of college, was still excellent. The reason he fell so far is because he was built like a !@#$ing doughboy, which caused teams to question his dedication and work ethic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffismagic Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Isn't this like Chip Kelly saying he OBJ rated #1 overall on his board? It sounds great but there is no way to know if he's just patting himself on the back for a draft pick he never made. On the other hand, we do know that Whaley tried to trade up for Carlos Hyde. So sometimes real draft stuff does get out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he had been excellent, he'd have been taken far higher than the end of the 6th round. It's not like any of the other QB's drafted ahead of his were physical specimens.
