Josh Norris' Colts Mock Draft

Round 1 (29): EDGE Danielle Hunter, LSU - From where projections stand right now -- most of which obviously won’t come true -- there are not many edge rushers available in the late first round. This pick came down to Hunter and Eli Harold. I received a lot of jokes saying the Colts will target the most unathletic edge player in this spot. We have seen teams try to overcorrect on the athletic spectrum in the past, see the Steelers in 2014. Hunter is an outstanding athlete who is a solid run defender, but he has zero intent when rushing the passer. It is only a feeling, but I suspect coaches and evaluators will want to work with what Hunter offers.

 

Round 2 (61): SS Jaquiski Tartt, Stamford - Some will say “Tartt can be drafted in the fourth round.” Can he? Do we know he makes it that long? If Landon Collins is available in the first, I bet the Colts make that pick. I bet Tartt is selected earlier than expected due to his big-hitting play style.

 

Round 3 (93): RB David Cobb, Minnesota - A personal favorite. Cobb will be an awesome long term replacement for Frank Goreand offers somewhat similar traits in terms of beating first contact. He is also comfortable as a receiver. A Combine quad pull, which limited his workouts, could keep him on the board. Yes, something that minor in this deep running back class.

 

Round 4 (128): T Rob Havenstein, Wisconsin - The Badgers consistently ran behind Havenstein’s side of the line. The right tackle gets wide with his punch which results in losses in pass pro, but he does have strength in the running game.

 

Round 5 (165): S Kurtis Drummond, Michigan State - Many project Drummond to free safety. I never feel comfortable with safety evaluations. Drummond did play in an aggressive defense that asked him to take reliable angles with good timing.

 

Round 6 (204): DT Joey Mbu, Houston - Mbu is all effort and little athleticism. I really like Josh Chapman and Zach Kerr, but this would be nice depth.

 

Round 6 (206): LB Junior Sylvestre, Toledo - Sylvestre could be seen as an “undersized” linebacker when compared to traditional standards. He compensates for the size with athleticism, something the Colts could use behind their starters.

 

Round 6 (244): Terrance Magee, LSU - Passing-down specialist. Magee might not be a special athlete, but he has a foundation in pass protection and has flashed receiving skills.

 

Round 6 (255): WR Chris Harper, Cal - A Combine snub. Harper left school early and is more fluid than explosive. His production dropped during his final season.

I like it aside from the first pick, Hunter is pretty awful.

I saw this earlier. Kurtis Drummond in the 5th is eye opening. I don't think he falls that far.

I really dislike this mock. Like from top to bottom, except Tartt, and Havenstien. The rest is ehhhhhh-no thanks.

Yeah, do not like that pick at all. 

[COLTS449]

If we draft Hunter in the 1st round it would be a horrible draft.

[Gavin]

Glad he is not the GM......Hunter in the 1st round? He is awful

I expect Hunter will go somewhere around 29. Someone is going to bite on that upside.

I hope its not the Colts, I personally don't see him anything more then a 3rd round pick.

I'm with ya....   Hunter holds very little interest for me....

 

Feels very late 3rd or early 4th to me as well.....    No thanks...

This is awful 

[Carlos Danger]

Don't like the mock, but I am a fan of the wr from Cal... Good hands and routes..

[Defjamz26]

Okay so I'm not the only one who had us taking Tartt round 2. Not a bad mock but that 1 st round pick is terrible. I'd take Collins before him.
