Even though I want to see Mewhort play with the 1st team, it's nice to see Donald Thomas back. I really want to see the O-Line battle at Guard and Center. Lets root for no injuries!

 

I agree, especially the way the team has been hyping Thomas this offseason. They've mentioned that hes way stronger both in his lower body and his upper body. I'm interested to see if he becomes a mauler up front for us. Maybe Mewhort surpasses Thorton?

I'm thinking that as well. Actually think that Mewhort could beat out Thorton right now. He'll get every opportunity for sure. We need as much help as possible at the O-Line and I just want someone to dominate at training camp today, show us that Luck is in good hands, whether it be Thorton or Mewhort.

Agreed. After watching some tape of last season, Thorton had a few games where he really impressed me. Im not sure if he did anything to change his body the way that Thomas and Khaled have, but if he gets better this offseason, (especially after being moved to his more natural position of Right Guard) then I would be ok with him starting. Just need to see improvement.

I'll be there today checking things out! Glad it's going to be a nice day.

Awesome! I'm going to the night practice next Thursday.

Could you report back with your thoughts on the receivers. How much did Reggie play? Is TY starting over Nicks? How much did luck throw to his Tight ends?

Thanks man.

Sounds great bravo! I don't live in Indy, so I'm kinda dependent on the internet and what I see on NFL network. I had to choose whether to go to a game or two, or go to training camp. I made a choice to go to games, so now I have to watch training camp on tv. Hope you can give us some type of update if anything exciting happens. Have fun!

Absolutely, also worried about Trent Richardson. I was hoping if you could tell us if he is making significant improvements, reading the playbook well, finding holes in the defense. Just some stuff I want to see that will affect the offense.

Probably will be hard to tell anything until pads go on.  And I don't think they can do that until Sunday per NFL rules.

Too early to matter, but I wonder why Mewhort wasn't backup RG if they expect those two to battle?

 

Well maybe since Mewhort is an NFL baby at these positions and he is BEHIND Veterans, they will work him some at his Best position some to bring him along. Then maybe after they think he is coming along some at his Best position they will work him at the next position they like him at, after they see him against NFL Caliber players. You do know Jack has heavy feet? In his year one he May Not be as strong nor athletic as Link (Paganos 5 position player)  was in his year 5.

I dont see Mewhort beating out Thomas if he is healthy. Thomas has too much experience and familiarity with the playbook/blocking scheme.

Makes sense. Just wondering because, with a healthy Donald Thomas, Thornton/RG would seem to be the most vulnerable position in the starting lineup.

      Colts have the 15th pick in the draft. (MERGE)

      I think if the Colts get a WR in the top-50 picks, or so,  I think the Colts would agree with you.

      welp, after another week of developments, rumors, and predictions…here is where I stand:   1.  My personal top 5 for our first has not changed.  Mitchell, Arnold, Turner, BTJ, Bowers are still who id be ok with picking at 15.  I’ve said it before, but this is one of the most “it can go any way for us” drafts I’ve witnessed for us in a long time, if not ever.     2.  With the rumors of us looking to trade up, I AM ALL FOR IT.  It’s ok to play it safe and build your team, but that gets mediocrity.  We need to go out and get a guy.  A player we KNOW that will be elite or very good.  Not one that we hope can do that.  I think MHJ is definitely going to the Cards (if they don’t trade out) so that means either Nabers or Odunze who we’re probably trading for if they fall to 8 or 9.  Id prefer Nabers over Odunze.  Nabers is that blazing separator we desperately need, Odunze is possessive beast, but I feel we already have that with MPJ.  I don’t think trading up for bowers would be worth it.     3.  Trading back is an absolute no for me.  As said above, we have to start getting bonafide players and studs.  If we have a chance to get a bonafide stud, then we shouldn’t give it up.  Trading back and giving up the chance to get someone is lowering the talent level of our first pick.  Let’s get aggressive for once and get OUR guy.  If we can’t, let’s stay put and draft a player who will be VERY good.

      Year 25! Dr. T's Annual Colt's Draft Contest for 2024

      FYI Castro went back to college at Iowa this upcoming season.  Look for Sebastian in the 2025 NFL Draft.

      What is Chris Ballard MOST LIKELY to do in the 1st Round of the 2024 NFL Draft?

      By OhioColt · Posted

      Like most QBs they need a safety blanket to throw to and that can be a TE.  Draft rumor-mill already in full circulation with news that the Colts want to trade up on Day 1.  Still think it's a long shot to draft a legacy in MHJ reaching P4 with the Cardinals.  A trade up to P8 with Atlanta is probably the most realistic scenario and TE Bowers would be the call-in.  Not sold on most of this year's draftable QBs and doubt 4 or more will be drafted within the top-8 picks.  See the draft play out like every other year where teams can stay and get a serviceable QB.

      This could very well be the rare year we do trade up on Day 1.  Really shocked if we go after a legacy and the cost might be too rich for the short-term versus draft immediate draft needs.  Now a trade up to say P8 swap with Atlanta has a higher percentage of happening I do feel.  No way going to trade within our division with the Titans at P7.  At P8 should still have one of the top-3 WRs or even better option of drafting a generational TE in Bowers.
