Bryce Love :rock:

 

I love Will Grier for teams looking for a QB

 

The defensive linemen are insane aswell

 

I believe Love will be an excellent NFL back. He is easy to scout. I like Will Grier too. However, my favorite quarterback of the bunch is Jarrett Stidham. There are a couple of quarterbacks who could possibly climb over these big dogs and get drafted first. 

 

In all likelihood though, 1 of these defensive lineman are probably going first. 

 

I think there could be a few really good quarterback prospects in next years draft class. 

 

It is loaded with front seven players. Clemson might have their entire defensive line drafted in the first 2 rounds. I know that might sound crazy, but it is not really that far fetched.

This edge and d-line class is LOADED

 

Exactly the reason why I didnt understand taking edge guys this year and missing out on the linebackers corners and running backs.  

 

It's water under the bridge now but it seems near sighted the approach we took in this draft.

Blue Shoe....

 

This is absolutely fan-freaking-tastic!   And every poster who reads this should give you a "like."

 

If I may...

 

I'd like to respectfully offer up a small amount of disagreements...   

 

First...   as a Stanford guy, I'd be thrilled if Love goes in the first...   But in roughly the last 20 years, no sub-200 pound running back had been taken in the first round.  And Bryce is 195.  And most think he's likely maxed out.   Guys like Reggie Bush and Christian McCaffrey are the smallest first round backs I can find and both were around 205.   That 10 pound difference on a smallish body can be huge...   So for me,  Bryce is ranked 33rd until I see the scouts I follow say he's a lock for the first...

 

And please believe me,  I hope you're right and I'm wrong.

 

And here's another area where I hope you're right and I'm wrong... Quarterback.

 

To me,  none of these guys feel like first rounders just yet.   Now one, or more of them may prove their worth at some point but I don't really have any feel,  any buzz for theses kids...

 

This QB class feels like the 2013 class that featured EJ Manuel,  Geno Smith and Mike Glennon.   Again, I hope you're right. Just like this year, the more quarterbacks taken high, the more the rest of the non-QB talent is pushed down to the Colts.

 

What I love MOST about your list...   are all of those D-linemen!  Tackles and ends and edge, Oh My!!   The D-line class looks historically good...  I'm expecting Ballard to use his first round pick on another top DL to continue his goal for a wave of pass rush.

 

Thanks again....  this was the best thing to see on the Sunday after the draft!   You ROCK!!    :thmup:

 

:colts:

Justin Hebert will 100% be in the top 50 unless he gets hurt again, and a broken collar bone isn't a red flag injury. 

 

6'5, rocket arm and will probably run in the 4.6s.

 

Yeah. He is on my radar. I have him ranked, but I need to do more work on a lot of people. 

 

But yes, I agree that he could skyrocket on the boards.

Thank you for the kind words! :) 

 

It’s fun looking at the draft from a year out. I think we will have a defensive draft in 2019. That Clemson defensive line is unreal. There will be some better offensive tackles too.

 

Trey Adams probably would have gone top 10 in this draft had he not got injured. Choosing to stay might pay off for him.

Christian Wilkins playing safety in Clemsons spring game was both hilarious and terrifying. A guy his size shouldn't move like that and be able to tackle in the open field. It's was amazing haha 

 

Clemson will be amazing this year. That defensive line.  Wow. I am not sure college football has ever seen anything like it. I was very surprised when they all stayed. 

 

The Trevor Lawrence era is also here. :D 

 

I am calling it now. That cat is going to be a stud NFL quarterback. He is going number 1 overall. 

 

Clemson could go undefeated with a true freshman at quarterback.

Since we are talking about 2019, I’m going to bring up the idea of drafting Trey Adams next year and giving us a Frederick, Smith, Martin type of room in Kelly, Nelson, and Adams. Then, since it’s so loaded at Edge and DL, we go that direction with both round 2 picks?

Who are the top ILBs? I'm looking for guys with speed who can cover the middle of the field. 

 

Keep an eye on Devin White from LSU. If he continues to ascend then he could be the top dog. He is an incredible tackler.

No complaints here. :D 

 

I love taking offensive linemen in the first round. If Trey is fully back from injury then he will go in the first round.

For what it's worth...    

 

If the Colts go somewhere between 6-10 and 8-8 then our draft slot is likely going to be somewhere between 10-16...

 

We should keep that in mind as we start to target top talent...

 

 

I am a little more optimistic. IF Andrew Luck is healthy.... And that’s a big IF....

 

Then I think we are going to win 10 games, possibly the division, and maybe even a playoff win. I have us picking 25 right now.

I think our OT and DE boost could be on its way with the 2019 draft. I do agree with the above poster that if Ebron does not work out as the play making TE we want, Noah Fant would have to be on our radar. 

 

It is not a deep CB class but if people are not downgrading them because of their size, Lavert Hill of Michigan and David Long of Michigan are players I will keep my eye on this year. I will be curious what kind of CBs Ballard will invest in moving forward. While Iman Marshall fits the profile of CBs Ballard drafted in 2017 (big and good for press coverage), Lavert Hill and David Long might be good fits in this defense that likes to fly because of their speed and ability to keep up. Besides, the last time we drafted a Michigan CB in the first 2 rounds (Marlin Jackson), things didn't turn out so bad. :) 

 

That is, assuming both of them declare after their junior years.

From what I’ve seen with Ed Oliver, he’s got top 5 pick written all over him. Many scouts say he’s better than Vea, Payne, Bryan, etc and that’s saying a lots. Next year it’s gonna be a defensive loaded draft. 

 

Well that's what Ballard will need after loading up on OL this draft. This team needs pass rush from the DT position and to also add playmakers at LB and CB.

That’s what we got Tyquan Lewis and Denico Autry for.  I could be wrong but both have experience pass rushing from the interior, and getting rid of Hankins and Anderson because they didn’t fit the system makes me think they will be used in the interior. I don’t think Ballard would have added Autry and 2 2nd round DEs all for the same position.
