Your 2-3 picks for tonight!

[MPStack]

Make your two selections and no trades for this evenings draft.

 

2. Malik McDowell DE/DT Michigan St. A good option with an aging Langford and Anderson not back to form from injury. He can play the 3 and 5 tech.

3. Tarell Basham EDGE Ohio Dominated at lower level, but a good pass rushing option in Rd 3.

[backshoulderfade]

Would be two excellent additions to our defense. I'm gonna say;

 

Jordan Willis/Tim Williams and Ahkello Witherspoon/Shaquill Griffin

Yeh. I'm happy because there is gonna be a certified stud available for us at 46 no matter what, I think.

 

I would be happy with any of;

 

Forrest Lamp

Malik McDowell

Kevin King

Tim Williams

Jordan Willis

Joe Mixon

Derek Rivers

Zach Cunningham

Chidobe Azuwe

 

Lots of studs available.

 

[DougDew]

The best CB available.  Its not really possible to reach with who will be left on the board.

[Valpo2004]

Wouldn't mind seeing the Colts grab Tim Williams as one of the best pure pass rushers still on the board.  

 

Problem is that he's a bit of a one trick pony and that's all he can do.  

[d9sccr]

I'm really hoping we go in for Corn Elder at some point.  He's an absolute freak of an athlete.  Great in coverage and good tackler for a corner 

[JRnINDY]

Quincy Wilson CB

Tim Williams EDGE

[masnerj]

As long as we hit CB with one of the two, and OLB or ILB with the other one, I will be very happy. We NEED to get a linebacker and a corner.

[danlhart87]

2. Chidobe Awuzie 

3. Kareem Hunt

I'd be ok with this. I also wouldn't mind a trade-up into the bottom of the 2nd for a ILB/Edge that falls.

[gnet550]

Zach Cunningham

Kareem Hunt

[Rhane19]

2nd. Rivers / Bowser

3rd.  Tankersley / Jourdan Lewis

[bigt]

2nd) Cook/Mixon/Kamara/Lamp/Robinson  (all 1st round talents that would fill a position of need)

3rd) Basham/Bowser/Tabor/Tankersly

I like Chidobe. I hope he is there. I wanted Hooker all the way. If we get Chidobe, and Foreman with our 3rd. I would be stoked. 

 

I wish we could trade up and grab two of the top players still on the board. 

[rock8591]

Derek Rivers

Ahkello Witherspoon

[Boiler_Colt]

I just wish we had about 3 second rounders. This draft is so deep with positions we need.

[Dilger85]

I would like to see something like this play out:

 

2nd:  Willis/Bowser or King/Wilson; if all four are gone then trade down lower in the round

Traded 2nd: Barsham/Rivers

3rd: Griffith/Tankersley if Edge drafted in second; If CB drafted then Hendrickson from FAU if Barsham/Rivers are gone

 

Of course all of this could change if players continue to slip based on other teams' needs.  In general, I am a huge proponent of BPA.  If Lamb or Cook are sitting there in the second then I would have no issue drafting either one.

[Manning1887]

If Forrest Lamp falls far enough, I would be more than happy to give up a 4th round pick to move up to take him. If we cannot trade up, I like Zach Cunningham LB Vanderbilt. 

 

In the 3rd round, I like Cordrea Tankersley from Clemson as a developmental corner. 

[richard pallo]

Kamara, Mixon, Cunningham in the 2nd.  Foreman, McMillan, Basham in the 3rd. 

[The Peytonator]

I'm pretty much all in on a CB for the second. Between Wilson, Tankersley, Witherspoon, King, and Awuzie, at least one of those guys will be there. I think Tim Williams falls quite a bit and if we wanted him we could get him in another round. Not big on any of the LBs or RBs this early, and I think Forrest Lamp goes to the Jags.

When have the Jags ever done the smart thing lol?? They also don't need guards I don't think.  Their big issue is their tackles are wretched.

I don't like what Joe did either, but he's on the board and if they take him it won't stop me from rooting for the team.   We got to face that this guy is a hell  of a ball player.  It's very likely he could be BPA at some point between the 2nd and 3rd. I'm down with the second chance I suppose.

I am just not a fan minus the off the field issues I would prefer one of the other RBs if we go that way

Im with you,  I certainly won't boycott the team.   But as far as I know they have never had a meeting with mixon.  I just can't see them drafting someone with his red flags without some kind of interview

I didn't know of any meetings we had with Hooker before the draft either.  Ballard does things in secret more than Grigson did it seems.   Who knows?

I don't think we met with hooker,  But he doesn't have huge off field issues and was also considered a top ten prospect

Not sure why a Boycott came up because I didn't even boycott them when Ken Dilger was released

Now that I think about it, you're right. Either way though, Lamp won't be there for our pick. Green Bay might even draft him to replace Lang.

Look, I will admit that I don't spent hours & hours deciphering draft prospects for INDY. 

 

I would like Joe to fall into our lap though & Jimmy grabs Mixon up. This kid can play & I'm a sucker for redemption cases. INDY's got a strong locker room. We could handle it & show this kid his fullest potential. 

 

He's a good kid who just made a horrible mistake. I just want us to be his 2nd chance.

Ballard says he met with him before the draft.  At the Combine and called him in privately.

[chad72]

Quincy Wilson and Ryan Anderson, one of them with a trade up.

Not Mixon.  But he spoke on Hooker after he drafted him.
