Does anybody know if we kept the scout who helped us "find/pick" Marlon Mack?  There was an interesting article on him and how he's been around through like 2 or 3 different Colts regimes. I can't find it anymore though. Was wondering if he survived the purge?

I think there actually haven't been that many changes at the normal scout level. Most of the changes (firings really) have been at the top level with these VPs and national scouts and such. I don't know the specifics but I don't think Ballard is handpicking individual regional level scouts to fire (atleast not yet anyways). And even if he did, I think he only fired a couple max.

Believe it or not there are several Colts scouts that have survived through several regime changes. However, to answer your question, yes they have kept Jamie Moore as of right now.

 

This is his bio on Colts.com. Normally if a staff member is fired they remove their page off of the staff list.

Thanks SDak. And I do believe it. I don't think Ballard is shallow enough to just fire people for no reason but I do feel it's his right to bring in the people that he wants. And I figure it's probably easier to keep regional scouts in place unless they're just flagrantly misjudging talent. Thanks again for the find though.

Thanks masnerj. And to be clear, I don't have a problem with Ballard firing whomever. I think he should be able to build and mold the organization as he sees fit. I had read an article on Mack and it sounded like our scout Jamie Moore was really high on him since his freshman year.

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

      Any chance we take a OT with the 1st pick?

      FWIW:   Today I listened to a guy from The Athletic interviewed on ESPN.   (Darren Lee). He said interviewing GMs at the combine, almost all view DeJean as a safety except two teams.  He thinks the Colts and Jags view DeJean as a corner.     I don’t know this reporter, never seen him before, so I can’t speak to his credibility.  But it sounds like he did a lot of homework.     And I appreciate your view on pro day times being reliable or not.   I’m always skeptical on pro days.  But I thought DeJean helped himself on his testing.

      It’s officially over: Luck says he will never return.

      I could care less what he does. Been too long ago.

      I’m with ya..     I'm not sure we’re going WR at 15 either.  I think we could go DE, and it’s possible we could go CB as well.   Gosh,  I love Mitchell and really like Arnold as well.  And if we trade back I would be fine with McKinstry or a DE on defense or one of the 2nd tier of WRs that could be there in the 20’s.  So many options.   I keep reminding myself, every pick could produce a surprise, because I think Ballard will have so many options to choose from.      Im also not sure Ballard will use all 7 rounds.   He finished in 5 rounds in his first draft 2017,  and he finished in 6 rounds in 2019.   Maybe he uses all 7 rounds, but I’m not confident we will.     One week from tonight.

      IndyColtsFan411's Never-ending Mock Drafts Post

      By coltsfanatic24 · Posted

      My Final Mock Draft   15. Brock Bowers, TE,  6’4 245 Lbs, Georgia - Blue Chip Prospect.  Rare combination of acceleration, speed and body control. Hands-catcher operating with good coordination and technique. With Pittman on the outside Bowers will control the middle of the field and seams. AR Will develop much quicker into a top 10 QB with Bowers as his TE.  46. TJ Tampa, CB, 6’1, 190 Lbs, Iowa State - Elite physical traits. Plays with good positioning throughout routes. Very good in press Coverage and Zone. Expect him to compete in training camp and be named a starter.      82. Calen Bullock, S, 6’2 190 lbs, USC - Elite physical traits. He has the range to play single-high safety, the athleticism to line up over the slot and the ball skills to chalk up impressive on-ball production. Expect him to compete in training camp for the starting S position.    117. Tez Walker,  WR,  6’2 195 Lbs, UNC - Elite speed with very good body control. Career average of 30.7 yards on touchdown receptions. Gives us very good depth and competition with Pierce.    151. Grayson Murphy, DE, 6’3 260 Lbs, UCLA - Shows impressive quickness and change of direction to help turn speed to power as a rusher. Good depth.    191.  Keaton Bills, G, 6’5 320 Lbs, Utah - Cerebral player, quick to react to twists and stunts up front. Very good depth.
