Can We Get....

[wordofmouth]

A Nose Tackle a Corner and a Guard in the draft that will all be able to step in and contribute. I think these are our 3 most pressing issues. I have seen a bunch of Mocks that have different combinations of players from these positions in the first 4 rounds but I'm wondering where the drop off is.

My Choice, at this time, would be:

Round 2 - Guard Cordy Glen Georgia

Round 3 - NT Alameda Ta'amu Washington

Round 4 -CB Donnie Fletcher Boston College

The questions that I have would be, Can we get these guys at those draft slots? and Would someone like Fletcher be able to contribute right away ( maybe I should say would he be expected to contribute right away) as a nickle at least?

I'm purposely leaving free agency out of the equation for arguments sake. Also I would be in favor of staying away from free agency if we don't bring back Peyton because then we can get a couple extra supplemental picks, save cap space, then, with that cap space, sign a player or two in a couple of years when we are ready to take that final step towards being a SB contender.

Well I would argue that SS should be in consideration too but as for me pesonally, I don't know too much about any safties other than Barron, Harrison Smith, Antonio Allen, and George Iloka (since I'm not a fan of Mark Barron at all I would be ecstatic if we grabbed any of the other three). As far as G's/NT's/CB's go, however, CB is by far the deepest of the three, and can be waited on but it seems as if it is also top heavy and I would like us to go with a corner/safety with our second pick. People on the board have mentioned that there might not be very much of a demand for a NT from other teams in the draft so I'm hoping we can get a steal in the third. Guard is the position I would wait on until maybe the fifth or later if we don't grab one in the second since I would like the fourth to go towards finding another piece for our D.

Gaurd seems to be a fairly deep draft also, so yes waiting until later could be good. I would say we need to go 2nd and 3rd with a NT and SS, in either order. those positions are both shallow this year, so if we want a top prospect we will need to grab early. There are multiple CBs that can be had in the 4th-5th that could step in an play, atleast Nickel very well.

The combo of NT/SS that I like best would be these two based on the rounds drafted:

2nd Alameda Ta'Amu

3rd George Iloka

2nd Harrison Smith

3rd Josh Chapman

Luck in the first, Poe in the second, Iloka in the third, Streeter in the fourth, BPA for 5th, 6th, 7th round.

cordy glenn could be there at 34, but it's probably 50/50. i doubt ta'amu is there in the third. actually is will be hard to say until after the combine.

Can we get... Courtney-Upshaw??? He is a Colts fan!

Always love to see who are Colts fans from a player standpoint.

NT and CB/S are glaring needs and I think there are a lot of DB's in this draft. I hope the Colts address NT and DB early and often this draft.

Dre K is dropping in a lot of mocks... It would be a coup if he fell and Indy could land Luck and Dre in the first couple rounds..

longshot at best tho...

I really want us to go after OG Ben Grubbs from Baltimore and with his ties to Pagano that is very possible. If we sign Grubbs, and Zbikowski at SS, those position will not be as great of needs.

Our biggest needs after that would be NT, CB, and WR(if Reggie leaves).
