We have a BIG opportunity to take advantage of some of this. Jourdan Lewis, Sidney Jones, and Joe Mixon. If we could grab those 3 in the 3rd and 4th rounds.........Wow. Yeah. It'll be on. Especially in 18

Mixon is prolly going in the 2nd dude is the number 2 back in the draft and Jones still won't go that late either he's too good

Talent wise yeah. He's the next Bell IMO. That's a big time statement but I think he's that good. But with the way the league is with arrest now, and especially domestic issues, he's gonna be a 3rd at best. That's JMO, but teams are just scared of what the media will think what fans (especially women fans) will think, and just what the majority of people will think. That's all its about. Most GM's wouldn't care if it weren't for the negative publicity and etc. Its just the way of the world. Its all about reputation. Why do you think Greg Hardy didn't play last season? Because no team wanted to "look bad". I look at it like this. Its wrong to hit a woman, any man who does what he does should have his __ kicked, and sent to the hospital for a couple days, but he was a kid. He was young and stupid, and a kid will sometimes make stupid mistakes. Then he gets judged on that for the rest of his life. Its stupid actually. He should have just had a good ole * kicking and that be it. He hasn't done anything since has he? He don't have drug issues to my knowledge??? So no worries there. But its just all about the reputation. He'll fall to the 3rd or maybe the 4th as will Lewis. Lewis has a better chance at going in the 2nd than Mixon.

 

We have a chance to steal the next great RB in the 3rd or 4th IMO. We're crazy to not take advantage. But I see what you mean, saying you think he's a 2nd. I just disagree with the direction the league's went the last few years.

Lol and? Still preposterous to think the Colts would take Jones at 15. Sorry but it was silly. 

Not hating. It's just simply dumb to think we'd take Sidney at #15 now. 

 

We all know he won't be selected at #15. Okay. We hear you. 

 

Someone is going to get a good player in Sidney Jones. He is worth the risk in the mid rounds.

The achilles injury concerns me.  I remember experts being concerned when other players have sustained that injury.  Especially pass rushers who pressure it with the weight of an offensive player pushing against it.  Might be too much of a risk at #15.

Assuming docs feel he can return to 100%, I'd consider the third, but for sure the fourth. 

 

I'm not as down on this team as much as others.  Imo, we are contenders if healthy, so first two, three picks could push us over the edge and get us a division championship.

Our 2nd pick in the 4th round...at the earliest.

 

LOL, well that is a no-brainer, we would all do that! The question is more whether people would pick him in round 1 or 2.

 

I was initially against picking him in round two, but here is the deal: A lot of decent CB are going to be released when rosters are cut to 53 players because of the deep CB draft class, so we could pick one of those up to play while Jones recover. 

 

You always have that second round FA fire sale during the summer. We will know how well it went with Adams.

It is conjecture dude. Just an open question? No need to keep telling us what everyone knows including me and i have said no to him at #15

His his recent achilles injury would he be a good candidate for Pick 15?

 

There are solid cornerbacks, linebackers and defensive lineman available as well

 

This will be an exciting draft for sure

 

What you do fellow horseshow lovers think about Jones and the prospects at 15

 

He would have to sit out a season. We need help now at CB

    • True, but the usual assumption is first round drafted player starts and plays many snaps however, teams look for players who can grow into higher ceiling than they're currently. For example, DE Chop Robinson is said to be raw but has all the traits to develop to be a quality edge rusher one day. I'd not be surprised if Ballard drafts him for the potential. Or similar players who would've higher ceiling in future than being an instant starter right now.    Another assumption people generally make is that the perceived holes need to be filled in and the team needs to be complete after the draft while Ballard may not draft for this year alone but with the aim to get the roster much better and near complete in a couple of years.    The way Ballard has not yielded to the pressure of competing and paying more to bring in expensive free agents, even after acquiring rookie QB, seems to indicate that he's not looking at this year alone.   Ballard may just stand pat and go BPA for any position as long as they've the player ranked higher, even if fans think another player available in position of need could play as immediate starter in this team. 
    • Welcome once again to Dr. T’s annual, official, Colts Draft Contest for 2024! Believe it or not, this is the 25th year we are doing this since the first contest was the Edgerrin James draft of 1999! With only seven choices this year, we needed to be creative again. So, contestants will be asked to select an A, B, and C choice for ALL rounds. Correctly choosing choice A merits 5 points, while correctly choosing choice B or C instead will merit 4 and 3 points respectively. If one of your "A" selections is chosen, but in a different round than you predicted, you get 2 points, if one of your "B" selections is chosen in a different round than you predicted, you get 1 point, and if one of your "C" selections is chosen in a different round than you predicted, you get 0.5 points. In addition, we will have a bonus question again this year and give everyone the opportunity to predict if the Colts will trade their #15 pick! The choices will be: trade up, trade back, stay put or you can also abstain from guessing. Like last year, if you predict correctly, you earn one point, but if you are incorrect, you will be DEDUCTED one point. If you don’t want to risk it, you can also abstain (no harm, no foul). For those that do not answer this question, the default is that this is a vote to abstain. If AND ONLY IF there is no clear winner at the end of the 7 rounds of the draft, the contest will be extended for ALL participants in which everyone will also be awarded one point for each collegiate free agent you predicted would be drafted by the Colts but was instead signed by the Colts after the draft.  Make your choices here by listing the round, choice A, B, or C for each round, with the name of the player, position and school AND your prediction on whether the Colts will trade the #15 pick this year. You may also write with each choice a little blurb explaining your rationale. Your 21 Colts selections and draft question this year are as follows:   Round 1 - #15 A, B, C Round 2 - #46 A, B, C Round 3 - #82 A, B, C Round 4 - #117 A, B, C Round 5 - #151 A, B, C Round 6 - #191 A, B, C Round 7 - #234 A, B, C   BONUS: Will the Colts trade the #15 pick this year?  1) Yes, they will trade up. 2) Yes, they will trade back. 3) No, they will stay put. 4) I don’t want to risk losing a point and will abstain.   Please be a good sport and do not just copy other contestant's selections. You can easily do some research on your own, since plenty of free draft services are available on the web. You also can make changes to your selections, but this can only be done before the contest is closed on Thursday at 11:00 AM CST April 25, 2024, on the first day of the draft. Good luck and let the best GM win!
