Seems pretty good. Carl Lawson about there in terms of the draft.

Did you even look at it or just stopped after seeing cook

[chad72]

He is giving us a MASH unit with potential upside  

 

I just don't think we will be taking as many risks with players coming off injuries. I am fine with the RB and OLB pick but not a big fan of the secondary picks, that is just me. I love the ILB pick as well.

[wig]

I think Cook is the best RB, and possibly the best offensive player in the draft. Just not for the Colts. 

 

Lawson is nice in the 2nd as a boom or bust guy. The 4th round is my favorite. Moreau and Beckwith are two guys Ilike in the middle rounds.

 yeah I looked at it

[twfish]

I could easily get down with this draft 1st round would depend who's off the board by our pick but the rest I like. Surprising USA today realized were a man corner system. Not big on Beckwith and would rather go else where with our 3rd round pick but if we have a decent FA that fills some holes then I'd be happy

Not a big fan of this draft.

 

Two of the first three picks are on offense.     That sours me right there.

 

And the first pick in the 4th round,  Moreau,  I don't think he lasts that long.      I hope the Colts grab him in the 2nd,  certainly no later than the 3rd.       I just don't see him going to anyone in the 4th.      At least,   not at this point.

 

Also not sure that Glasgow lasts until the middle of the 5th round.

A lot of these players would fit right in with past Colt rosters. Too many previously injured players on this list for me to get excited about.

[ColtsAC]

I would be pretty happy with this draft. I didn't know though about Cook's shoulder issues.

[Steamboat_Shaun]

I would've liked to see a DL or LB in the 3rd as opposed to OL. In regards to Cook in the first... as long as all of the dream picks (Foster, Williams, Takk, Taco, Wilson) are long gone by then, & Dalvin is hands down BPA, then I can get down with it.

[COLTS449]

I like the Beckwith pick in the 4th..If we can get an all around ILB who can cover to play next to him.

[COLTS449]

Don't like the OL pick. We're really just a RG or RT away. Just 1 IMO. S sign a guy like Pazstor or Lang.

i hate it.  absolutely hate it.  It's a waste to take a RB in round 1 when your defense SUCKS

Tell me. If foster, Barrett, Thomas, taco, and hooker are all gone who would you take?

I hope all the EDGE guys aren't all gone. We sure need one. I also don't like taking the OL in the third. I'd rather see an ILB or CB taken there if one is deserving of a 3rd round pick.

depends on who else is left on the board....... but an RB in the middle of the first when you desperately need D is a Grigson type move. Granted, it all depends on who's on the board at that time.

That's the thing though, if we preach BPA why can't it be a rb? Do you honestly think Barret is BPA? Because I sure don't. He doesn't impress me.

Best player available for the position(s) needed.  A RB isn't gonna fix our defense.

How is rb not a need? Gore is gonna be 34

[Andrew Luck fan club]

I like the Fabian pick. That's all.

true, but running the ball more per game will help.  if you take out Luck's 64 rushing attempts, the colts are near dead last in terms of rushing attempts per game.  the problem is they simply gave up on it too often.

[rock8591]

Really not fan of Carl Lawson.

[AZColt11]

Not a fan.  Too much offense too high.  Sure, I would love having Cook, but at the same time wondering why he only gets 10 carries a game because we are down 17 points too often because our defense can't stop anybody.

[UKColt13]

The only defensive player taken in the first 3 rounds is an overdrafted situational rusher?

 

I get that Dalvin is good, but he's not what we need right now. At best he's a luxury pick for us. We need to boss FA before I'm comfortable taking him at #14.

 

Lawson is a situational guy right now. I don't see his ceiling as being very high.

 

At least 2 of our top 3 picks need to be defense right now.

well thats the issue with having a 33 year old as our lead RB

 

he makes some plays, but the snap count they have him on keeps him from taking over games the way other backs do

Yes, Gore is the lead back, but we have other RBs that could still get the job done.  none of them are game breakers, mind you, but I have little doubt that Turbin could put up similar production if given more carries. 

[Carlos Danger]

I don't love it, but it's not a horrible mock. Indy should do more for the D in the first 3 rounds. 

 

That being said, I really like Lawson as an NFL prospect. If not for injury concerns, I'd be happy with him in the 1st, but I'd be skittish about it right now. 

 

Not a fan of taking a 3rd round OL in this draft, with who we have on the roster... If we upgrade on the right side of the O-Line, I'd prefer it to be in FA. I'd think differently if I thought there were upgrades to be had outside of the first round, but this year I don't see it. 

 

It's hard to judge a mock before the combine and without knowing what FAs we will bring in... With the right FA period, this mock could look a lot better.

Maybe our running game was ranked 23rd because our defense sucked and we were always playing from behind forcing us to conserve the clock and throw the ball more

Being in the bottom half of the league in rushing attempts definitely had a lot to do with it. 

[Coltfreak]

2 of the highest paid positions in the NFL are DE/OLB and CB.   That is why you need to draft them so you dont have to pay a premium in FA.     I would love to see the best CB available taken at #14. This is a huge need on this team and it instantly helps the pass rush situation.   This is a deep defensive draft IMO.   We could see pass rushers that could start taken in the 3rd and 4th rounds this yr.   Cook could be a real game changer for the offense.  Edgerine James was probably the biggest reason Peyton started out so well IMO.  I miss that guy more than any other Colt.... Not my favorite.  That is Reggie. But... I would not at all hate taking Cook if they think they can get a shutdown corner and pass rush in the 2nd and 3rd.

maybe a better running game could help keep the defense off of the field

the line is not the problem if gore can get 4 ypc

 

the problem is his snap count means the coaches will never give him 20 carries a game no matter what happens out there.  we need another RB to fix that

The line is still a problem until it's performing at a much higher level.

 

It ended the year performing at an acceptable level,  but it can still get a LOT better.     And I expect it to.

 

I'll be surprised and disappointed if, after one more year,  our line is not graded out as a top-8 OL.

 

Top 25% in the league is my goal for for the o-line in 2018.

Hasaan Reddick, Quincy Wilson, Tim Williams depending on how he runs/interviews, or trade back even. Dalvin Cook is very good but Im falling off the "special" bandwagon, he's a great athlete with good vision, but does not have make you miss qualities you like to see out of a smaller back. Fumbles and pass protection are both issues. He's a RB that needs an elite o-line to be at his fullest potential and we dont have that yet

Do you see that from what we have now? Or after adding a peace? One more quality player and I can see that happening, specifically if we could acquire a nice LT in FA, and move Costanzo to RT where he's most likely more natural. He's a great run blocker, but isn't consistent enough in pass blocking to be your blind side guy.
