I've watched tape on him and I'm having a really hard time trying to figure out what the hype is about.. TCU game the center made him look like trash he had little to no motor and couldn't get off a block let alone cause a double team.. Granted he's a big fella and could be developed but do the colts really have time for that?? "win now" we are still waiting for Bjoern to reach his peak... id much rather have a guy like Michael Bennett great motor, gets off blocks, disruptive, can play anywhere on the line with his versatility.. he might be undersized but look at Aaron Donald 6'0 265 and made the pro bowl his rookie year just a thought... I do not want JP unless someone shows me different pls

You're right about the TCU tape, but Joey Hunt was on a mission (look out for him in 2016), and they chipped and doubled him regularly. They just had his number.

 

The other end of the spectrum is the Clemson tape, where he looks like an absolute star. 

 

My thing is I think he should be limited to 25-30 reps a game, but he would play three or four series in a row and be out of gas. He's super talented, he can stack and shed, he has pass rush moves, he has athleticism, the motor is there when he's not gassed... I think he's going to be good, and I'd take him in the first.

Michael Bennett is way undersized for the system that we run. Aaron Donald had all that success because St. Louis ran a 4-3 defense with him shooting one gap normally so his size wasn't a problem for him. In our system we need bigger stronger guys to hold at the point of the attack as they will have to hold a two gap responsibility most of the time. Bennett will be a solid pickup for a 4-3 team as he flashes a nice pass rush up the middle. He will have problems though anchoring against the run in the NFL as he does not have the size to hold at the point of attack against NFL O-linemen, and gets swallowed by double teams.

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

      By ColtStrong2013 · Posted

      There’s been a lot of comments made by Ballard lately that they are always planning a few years out, while the coach is pushing for players that can help now. So it’s a balance. He’s made comments that the goal is to protect and provide weapons for AR. The talent at the top of the draft seems like there could be a couple really good offensive lineman falling down to us, with a run on receivers and skill players. I don’t necessarily see that, I think there could be a run on qbs, tackles, and pass rushers with the obvious 3 receivers before we pick. That could potentially push all corners, as well as Bowers down to 15. But say, both corners and Bowers go top 15, who does that push out? Most likely a talented tackle. They can either trade back or take the highest rated player on the board, which would provide swing tackle depth, and a plan for if Smith is injured/isnt re-signed following 2025. Some are speculating it might be best to move Smith to guard in that scenario.

      I don't believe this would ever happen as the price would be much too steep. The only way this is even a remote possibility is if the Pats do not like Maye or McCarthy . Then this would also need the QB needy teams to feel the same as NE . The value of Maye , if he's a franchise QB is multiple firsts. IMO , you can't give up that for a WR

      Happy Draft Day to the folks who are in Indiana! (And east coast) lol. If this actually happens today I don’t know what I would do. Pipe dream or not, I’m READY for this draft to start!

      Kirk did have the Vikings at the top of the division in the 2022 season at 13-4. He was injured last year. Oh well have fun with your new QB.    You act like I don't know Vikings football, comical because I like the team and follow them a lot. You and @NFLfansay Kirk doesn't know situational football. In 2022 he was the best situational QB in the league. Vikings were 11-0 in games decided by 3 points or less. It is because Kirk handled most situations right. You don't go 11-0 in games 3 points or less and not be a smart QB.

      Maybe I am the one who will end up with egg on his face but I just don’t get why people think the Colts are actually going to draft an olineman with their first pick.  Nelson and Kelly returned to their pro-bowl playing status.  Raimann looks to be a very good young left tackle and the Colts have made it pretty clear they see Smith as one of the most underrated tackles in football.  They aren’t drafting a right guard in the first round, Nelson was exception, and even then Fries held his own at right guard last year.  They aren’t going to draft a guy who isn’t going to start next year either in the first round.  The starting oline is probably the least of their worries going into this draft.
