I like how our young guys pull through in the clutch for us.

*long breathe in* AHHHHHHHHHH... feels good to get back to football!

I'm really rooting for the (semi) little guy, Will Sutton. Would be a 3-4 DE for us. At 6'1 288 lbs., he doesn't exactly stand out just by standing up, but I love his motor, and his film. HAD 13 SACKS LAST YEAR AS A D-TACKLE. Anyway, he's being overlooked do his size on the D-line, but who doesn't love to root for the little guy? And plus, I view D-line as the most important position on the field, so to me, you can never have enough.

I am not sure how big of a need corner will be come April. I am a little more optimistic about Toler working out and Davis continuing his strong play. That only means that I would not necessarily look at corner in the first round.
I would look at Louis Nix NT Notre Dame, Stephon Tuitt 3/4 DE Notre Dame, and
Clinton-Dix S Alabama.I am not sure how Chapman will look this year. We don't have a true stud on the line at the moment. Also, Bethea is a free agent after the season and Clinton-Dix could be a solid option.
A corner to keep your eyes on for the 2nd or 3rd round is Marcus Roberson from Florida.
I love how, when you type in this guys name, the
emoji automatically pops up -
Sutton's got a terrific non-stop motor, and I feel that the little guys play with more intensity and a chip on their shoulder because they've been told they're too small. I'd be ecstatic to have him in Indy.
Kyle Van Noy's not a typical 3-4 OLB size wise, but there's more than just raw potential in his game, there's quality in him as well as production already. If Ezekiel Ansah can get picked at #5 without even 5 sacks for his whole college career, then I see no reason why Van Noy shouldn't go higher than that.

I love Fantasy Football, and I think combining that with some guys from the forum would be awesome.

Even though we think we know a lot about the next draft, we really know nothing. So many things are gonna change, but preparation is always good. That being said, cornerback is a good candidate for position to draft for next year. I really like the signing of Toler, but if he is only able to be a very solid #3 corner, then we'd need our second guy.

Height and weight alone don't automatically classify you into a position. JJ Watt's 270 pounds coming out of college could have landed him at OLB, but his brute strength (and weight gain) made him the best 3-4 DE in the league today. We have Bjoern Werner's 266 pounds with better elusiveness playing at OLB. Demarcus Ware's at 254, and Terrell Suggs is at 260, so Werner can be similar to them as well.
Sorry. Meant to talk about Murphy, not Werner.

26 sounds about right for where we'll be picking. And now I'm really getting into Trent Murphy, OLB Stanford (another Stanford alum). He looks great rushing the qb and in coverage, and I think it's hilarious how he's basically a Bjoern Werner clone.
-
Ill admit, its way far off to be thinking about the next draft in almost 12 months, but its also good to start collecting thoughts about what's next and get up on your starting observations, opinions, etc. Leave any comments about who's gonna get picked early, what we should do, or just any random thought at all. Were starting this now.
-
Great stuff, rookies. Keep it up, and you won't be looking like it's your first time on a pro team.
-
John Mackey, Raymond Berry, Johnny Unitas, Peyton Manning. Respect the classics- along with one of the top 5 players of all time.
-
, how funny. But you learn the most from experience, so I think we've all just been taken to school.

This offseason, we have plenty of these we can't wait to see how they turn out next year, so what are your favorites? I'm so excited, and I know YOU GUYS ARE!!!

Happy birthday, Pat! The Colts got the best punter in the league as well as a great community guy as well as leader.

I'm gonna go with defense. This offseason, we completely reshaped our D, especially the front seven. I mean, some of these guys we brought in- RJF, Franklin, Huges, Werner, Toler, Landry- we're getting a pretty formidable Colts D.
-
I like three years. One to get their feet wet and learn, two to grow and build upon their rookie experiences, and three to fully develop into a pro and show what the rest of their career will look like.

The measure of a good draft is certainly ambiguous, but in my opinion, and from what I've observed for many years, is how well the draftees are able to help and improve the team. The heated debate about whether to draft for need or best player available is very polarized, and in many cases, a compromise is the best solution. This compromise would be the aforementioned, how well a player can help his team. Our first round pick, Bjoern Werner, is that player, being that he became a very underrated player and fell to us at #24, and pass rush was the very first priority for improvement. In today's NFL, a monstrous pass rush is key to a a fearsome defense. Werner is the best option to increase the overall skill in that aspect. The pair of O-lineman selected by us (Hugh Thornton, Khaled Holmes) immediately help repair a severely damaged Offensive Line, which is the most important part of the offense, automatically proving the worth of selecting these young men. Lastly, Montori Hughes was added as a wild card to improve the most important position in all of football- that's right- the D-line. A strong defense intimidates the offense as well as imposes its dominance in a game through a beastly (a term overused today) Defensive Line, and on a team needing to get tougher and mentally strong, selecting a player with a few troubles who plays with a chip on his shoulder is justified any day. Even after all this, a draft is judged by the results of the players' productivity after a few seasons of playing in the NFL.

Look, nothing's perfect. If all the cynics in this forum had it their way, they'd never be satisfied with who falls to them and end up trading back all their picks till they had about 30 7th round selections.you make do with what you got, and use all the strategy and brains in the world, but for once, why don't you try to formulate the BUILDING of a team instead of DEGRADING it.
-
I don't believe Holmes will ever play center. I think he will be a back up guard, and Shipley will be our center of something happens to Statele.
Well I think eventually Holmes will start at center (maybe, maybe not from day 1) but Shipley has been better than satele

Stephen Tuitt, DE, Notre Dame
6’6″ and 305 pounds.
Had 47 tackles, 12 sacks from his 3-4 DE position
I really like this guy if he comes out next year as a junior
Geez, I'm seriously gonna scout the crap out of this guy. Not only is Redding 33, but D-line depth is vital in our new system, as well as the most important position on the field.
-
The colts FO was very high on Werner, and so am I. He'll do what he does best providing a good solid pass rush which we desperately need, and I can see our defense improving.
Clinton-Dix S Alabama.

This was the first mock draft I did from first pick today. Well I'm happy with it.
