I love the Da'rick Rogers pick. He seems to have gotten his stuff together and if so he's gonna be a monster in the NFL. Love Collins too. Really like this mock
-
What's his over under on drops? Lol
-
45% of Colts fans are Notre Dame fans. Probably more.
I'm a ND fan and I still don't want him. Wish him the best and hope he proves all his naysayers wrong... But not in Indy. Don't need him.

Ball state pro day? Why attend that unless you need a punter. It seems like that is the only position they produce.
That's that whole "doing our due diligence" thing that Grigson and Pagano always like to talk about.
-
Probably Allen but would be thrilled to have either
-
No way Tavon is still there at 24. Stranger things have happened but I would be very surprised.
-
Of the 3 I like Hopkins the most. Hunter and Allen do nothing for YAC. Also like Corradelle Patterson.
Allen's actually known for being a good YAC guy. I'd be happy with Allen or Hopkins. Not big on Hunter. Patterson would be great but should be long gone by pick 24

Isn't Bethea a free agent after this year? I'm guessing we draft a safety somewhere in the draft. Safety is actually a pretty strong position in this years draft from what I've read.

So I was reading an article on B/R called "Manti Te'o may be a punch line , but What does the game tape say?" By Michael Schottey and it had a few paragraphs near the beginning about the draft process and mocks that I thought were dead on. Anyway, I thought I'd post them for you guys to see. I think there's a lot of people that post comments on mock draft sites that would benefit from reading this. Enjoy!
"First, let's take a second to talk about the draft process.
It's easy to bash someone like Mel Kiper who is more visible than any other draft expert (and not just because you can see his hair from space). NFL personnel guys don't love Kiper, but they respect him because he puts his opinions out there. Scouts can hop from job to job and no one really knows who they've missed on. Kiper has to deal with scores of fans who forget his successes and save his mistakes on Youtube.
So, rather than just scream "Kiper is wrong!" like I'm sure many have, it's worthwhile to talk about what mocks are.
First, the idea that mocks predict what a team will do is laughable at best. Anything outside of the top few picks is a complete crap shoot and the first trade will immediately deep-six any mock's accuracy on draft day. Want to start predicting trades? You might as well play the lottery because the odds are better.
Some draft media peg their mock draft accuracy as a sign of their expertise. Frankly, that's the intellectual equivalent of falling out of your chair, landing in an athletic-looking stance and claiming you're a ninja.
Real draft expertise is found in player grades holding up over time. Call a guy an all-time great and he flops? That's a ding against your record. Call a guy a top pick and two teams decide they have more pressing needs and that's just incorrect educated guessing. Because guess what, when teams set up their draft boards, all of them are just as wrong on what the first round will actually look like as media is. "

Yes please
-
A lot of "experts" now think that Johnathan Cyprien will be the 2nd Safety off the board after Vacarro. I love what I've seen of him and wouldn't mind at all if we took him at 24.
-
WR isn't a huge need in the first but if Keenan Allen fell to us I think he would be hard to pass up
-
So what big (and productive) receivers will be available next year in FA or the draft? I don't think it's that big of an issue so we might just be better off waiting a year if there's no great choice now.
-
Well, feel free to contact Nate on Twitter if you disagree with any part of this article so he can talk to you like you're a * as he does anyone that disagrees with his opinions. Yeah, I had to unfollow the guy lol. Heard "your opinion in invalid" one too many times.
-
Also if we're gonna give up so much to draft one player I would probably take Lee out of USC before Watkins
-
I don't see that happening with so many more pressing needs at a lot of different positions.
-
DE Armond Armstead from the CFL is signing with the Patriots. It was reported that he had visited with the Colts recently. Would've liked to of had him. Thoughts?
-
Maybe a good pickup in the 2nd rd if we end up trading down?
-
I like it! I've seen a lot of mocks having us take Richardson in the 1st rd and I can't say that would be a bad choice. Not sure Cave lasts into the 6th but I definitely wouldn't mind having him. I actually thought Shipley played better than Satelle so it wouldn't bother me to see Satelle walk and have Shipley and Cave going forward. Haven't seen any Fresno St games this year so I'll have to check out this Safety you have listed.
-
If you meander over to the CB list, you'll find a familiar name at the bottom of the list.
Hahaha! Can't say that's not the right spot for him
-
Did anyone see this article on BR today? Looks like Grigson has his eye on another CFL guy.
-
F/A
wes welker.(move hilton up to 2) not conserned justd be nice
brent grimes.(so we have a cb to line up with davis and butler/powers for nickle) cherry on top
anthoney spencer(if hits f/a) or kruger either would be nice 2nd so draft wouldnt have to be all defense and we can go for more in the draft with our limited picks
idonije or melton for -would want either same as above
long and levitre(top priorites) move costanzo over to rt where he played in college
draft
1st jordan (if he doesnt move up) if he does okafor would be nice but i would love to see indy take a chance on lattimore because our last dominant back was james. dont really see ballard being a back for big numbers.
3rd go for a&m olb if jordan isnt 1st pick.
4th move bathea over to ss to replace zib pick up tyrann mathieu and move hiim to fs where his skill set will employ the best and special teams is a plus as a dynamic return like patterson of the cards or go oline here if fa doesnt fill any holes
I absolutely loved watching Lattimore play in college, but I don't know if I would spend a first rd pick on a guy with 2 surgically reconstructed knees that may not even be ready to play until the 2014 season
-
.Actually I've read a couple pieces saying they expect the 49ers to let Goldson walk. He was franchised for this year, but they have too many up coming contracts on defense...plus they supposedly have a young safety the are high on.
Well, if that's the case he would definitely be a good pick up. He'd be expensive but you have to have good Safeties these days. Definitely a position worth shelling out some cash
This Aaron Dobson guy is interesting if he is there for our round 3 pick, Colts were at his Pro Day

I thought it was funny that he's wearing a Colts hat in his Twitter profile pic
