Pass rush is still a major concern.

Agreed. When we look at it on paper, pass rush is a concern. 

 

Hopefully one of the new additions will surprise us.

[Superman]

Some of those UDFAs are just tryouts. And I assume there will be some cuts on Monday.

Yep.

 

That is why I prefaced - "This will evolve several times as we bring in other UDFA's and make moves throughout the off-season."

[Bravo]

Needs

 

1.) Pass Rush

2.) CB

3.) WR

 

Pass rush is the biggest and most obvious need. Unless Trent Cole can  get thugs going, Langford plays at the same high level, and Mathis has a bounce back season somehow I don't see the Colts getting to the QB very often. Unless our new D coordinator draws up some seriously good play calls.

 

 

CB mainly because Butler and Robinson are mainly inside guys. Just not sure how much better they will be just by replacing Toler. Maybe D. Smith can have a better year.

 

WR is a need in my opinion also. We have 3 starters there but after that the depth is not good. The Colts are not the healthiest football team. If one of the starting WR (Hilton, Moncrief, Dorsett) get hurt then WR becomes a huge need.

WR?? 

 

ILB, DL, RB, TE, special teams bodies, long snapper, and Andrew Luck's razor are all bigger cocerns than wide receiver.

Your not going to fix everything in one draft you can sit there and say you will but your just lying to yourself I bet next years draft that will be top priority that and corner I think we did very good in this draft.

[Lef]

Thanks for the list. Helps to see the team broken out that way. 

[DougDew]

I actually think that Bates and Maggitt can contribute this year.

 

I'm more concerned about backup at SAM than RUSH.

 

Edit: UDFA Ron Thompson is probably a SAM and the Colts added UDFA Drew Ott, who is also likely a SAM.

[NorthernBlue]

Our offense seems to be set for like the next decade lol. Depth and talent at all positions. Now we can heavily focus on the D for the next few years which I like. Plus there is some nice young talent on the team. Geathers, Green, Anderson, Parry, Ridgeway. The latter three guys, along with Jones and Langford will be key (so basically the whole D line ). I think that the D line is the best part of the defense. If they can apply some pressure, it will help our pass rushers out immensely. Monachino will need to come up with some creative blitz's to get to the QB. There's still no depth there.

I don't know anything about Bates but Maggitt looked good when he played.  Hopefully his injury history won't kill his chances.

Call me whatever, but I think ILB will be fine, assuming they give Sio Moore a chance. Junior Sylvestre had a good preseason last year, and even Irving is better when healthy. I'm fine with the DL also, assuming either Art Jones is healthy or Ridgeway is as ready as I think he is. Anderson getting back is a big part of that as well.

 

At WR, if someone gets hurt, who's next? It's a big mishmash of no-names at receiver after the top three. Bray is a decent option, but has no experience. I think this is the thinnest position on the roster, in terms of experience and depth. OLB isn't great, but at least we have some veteran guys there who can rotate and at least be decent. I'm not overly concerned about receiver, but it's not deep at all, unless someone emerges in preseason.

I was going to say the same thing as Superman did above. Not that we don't have good players there it's that's there is barely any experience if injury at the position occurs. It needs skill and depth!

You're missing Brian Tyms WR Florida A&M.

 

The players in bold is who I see making the 53 man roster. (Extremely early, I know. Just bored).

Holmes can beat out Blythe.

 

Payne and Brown have a chance to take the last 2 corner spots

 

I think one more receiver gets involved whether by UFDA or FA or trade.

I don't see Holmes touching Blythe.  They were both projected as mid-round picks, with the difference being that Blythe slipped.  People dismiss him because he is 290, but he is a former 3x record-setting heavyweight state wrestling champion, from Iowa no less.  I'm excited to see Blythe's development over rehashing the same mistakes.

Agreed.

 

Holmes had his shot. He's done.

 

The moment we drafted 2 centers; Holmes started packing his bags. 

[James Harden]

I'm rooting for Mekale McKay and Tevaun Smith to make the roster. Need big strong WR who can go deep. 

[colts52761]

Smith from Iowa is better

Holmes, Harrison, and Kerr are my predictions for surprise cuts who won't make the 53 (at the end of pre-season). So I hear you on Holmes.

You may be right,  but I think there's a better chance that Blythe spends a year on the practice squad and Holmes returns as the back-up to Kelly.      A 4th year back-up at center is far more desirable than a rookie as the back-up center.

 

Plus, Holmes can play guard better than Blythe....

 

I think Holmes gets one more year....  

 

[colts52761]

Holmes will probably get hurt anyway, just keep Blythe

[Gigc]

You know, there was an interesting subtext to all the OL picks. I can't remember if Irsay, Grigson, Pagano or 
ALL of them said it --- but was that they changed the KIND of offensive linemen they want. 

it's all about having great feet. And they attributed that to the hiring of Philbin and the whispered idea that they're going to more zone blocking.

To me, that means there's very little chance that Holmes or Harrison beat out any of the four guys we picked --- even Blythe. I think the old paradigm was more big-body-maulers.

they want dancers now.

by the way, i nearly fell out of my chair when they chose Blythe in the 7th. 

FOUR offensive linemen?

 

wow

I believe there was a better chance Blythe would have been a fourth round pick than a UDFA. 

 

I have little doubt he makes the 53 and is a long stay with the Colts. 

 

This was a deep OL class.

It's thin, but just sign some old/cheap dudes who can fill in.  Even if one of the. If 3 did go down the offense will good enough to absorb it.  On my list of worries, we is almost nonexistent.

 

plus, in your original post I was still in draft mode and was thinking you thought the colts should have drafted a receiver.  While a late pick for a WR would have been fine, it just wasn't a concern of mine.
