Ryan Grigson the Indianapolis Colts general manger answered questions Thursday regarding whether he would rather draft a tackle or, a defensive back. His response was that he would rather take a defensive back because; he felt it was an easier adjustment to the NFL. And, that all you have to do for a great defensive back is to have amnesia on plays. But, for a tackle the adjustment period is very significant. Its not an easy position and, that they will be confronted with a wide variety of blitzes. As well as, seeing players that are unbelievably big. Or, physical specimens that they hadn't seen in college.
Grigson is a combine veteran who has worked it for years. Starting from entry-level positions and, moving up the ranks to one of its top officials. When posed the question; "What would be the one thing you would change in the combine?" He said, that he would put the players in pads and, see how they perform in a more game simulated setting. I think this is a great suggestion and, the NFL should consider it.
