If we got any two of these players, I'd love. Even Preston Brown as a late round pick has a lot of upside. My favorite picks would have to be Attauchu and Quarles. Might a little too optimistic, but I'd like to start dreaming a little before I now go to sleep.

I'm not so sure on Pierre-Louis for us, but from what I read, Edabli could only be a LEO in a 3-4. I'll make my own judgment but not now. I'm tired and I'm going to bed.

Ok I have no memory of this post. I just made another detailing my story. Forgive me, my memory's been a little weird lately.Well my Colts loyalty is kind of a funny story. My father is a Cowboys fan, like the rest of his family, but no way was I gonna be a cowboy fan. I just distinctly remember this shot of Peyton throwing the ball, and ever since then I've fallen in love with the classic blue and white.
-
I'm from Vegas born and raised. My father's a cowboy fan so no way was I going that route. Truthfully, I was originally a raider fan, but I was just a little kid who liked the name and their crazy fans. But then I started watching this team called the colts. I loved the classic blue and white uniforms. I specifically remember watching one highlight of Peyton throwing a perfect spiral, under pressure, for a touchdown. Few things I have ever thought were more beautiful.

I like the mock but it's just too much money for one offseason. In a few years, we've got a lot of key players we need to retain, which I don't think would be possible with this kind of free agency.

He might have to be overpaid for

You think Kyle Van Noy could play Inside? That thought's never even occurred to me.
-
Extremely well put together, we'll done. I could live with this, although of course I have my own opinions, like getting a thumping ILB cuz Van Boy doesn't play that, but very nice.
-
Pick your ideal draft for the Colts regarding positions for the 2nd and 3rd rounds. Choose what position you'd like to see us grab with those picks, and then a player of that position who could realistically fall to us.
Allow me to start.
Round 2- DE: Dominique Easley- a definite early first round talent if not for his injuries, and arguably the most explosive Defensive Tackle in the draft, he'd lead our D-line for years to come.
Round 3- CB: Loucheiz Purifoy- great athleticism in a corner with terrific man cover skills who played on an island frequently at Florida (wow, I just realized I picked two Gators). And don't think he's too small at 5'11, cuz guess who else is at 5'11? Vontae Davis.
-
I'd like to resign Vinatieri, but he's not a must, in my opinion. However, Mcafee is to me. Not only is he one of the elite punters in the nfl (
elite punters), but he's a great personality on the team, he just loves being a Colt, and provides awesome insight videos in the locker room. -
Well that's backwards.
-
If Hubbards' still there in there in the late rounds, then his value at that point is certainly serviceable. But for a 3rd or 4th, No way. He wasn't even that good to begin with, and his numbers and talents are more reflective of the entire BAMA defense.For the guys available when the Colts pick (I hope they don't use an early round pick on OLB), to me it's Hubbard in this draft. He was the SAM on Alabama's 3-4 D, is amongst the biggest LB prospects at 6'6" 257, and was the tenth fastest LB at the combine, posting a sub 4.7 40. He underachieved at Alabama, according to many. Played with his hand down more than up. But for a 4th to 6th round guy, there is a lot of bang for the buck in Hubbard, I think.
-
Yes, I'd absolutely love this draft. A big corner with lots of potential and a born leader from our favorite college to bring some thump into our defense. Not to mention some late round guys with a lot to offer, my favorite being the country boy Mauro (again, from our favorite college).
-
I like Marcus Smith and Demarcus Lawrence as possibilities, most likely as 2nd and 3rd round possibilities, respectively.
Thoughts?
Oh and yes, I've actually thought Van Noy would make a perfect SAM.
-
I believe Sam has mid round talent, why not? He's shown just about as much as his teammate Ealy, and even ran a faster 40. And it's not like every 3-4 OLB of today coming out of college had terrific pass rush skills as well as corner back - coverage ability. They were all tweaked and coached, so why can't the same happen to Sam?
-
I don't have anything against Matthews- I think he'd be a great replacement for Reggie. I'm inclined to see I'd rather take another position, but ultimately, it should go to whoever can make the biggest impact on the team. Of all the players likely to fall to us, (including Mathews, Hageman, Gabe Jackson, Reynolds, Attaochu, Fuller, Jean-Baptiste, Sutton), I take Attaochu. I believe out of all of them, he's proved the most, has a good combination of rushing the passer from the LEO position, and dropping back in coverage.
-
I don't know what everyone's problem with Michael Sam (yes I know it's not that he's gay). He's a passionate player who arguably proved more than his teammate Kony Ealy did. He's a tweener? Since when is that a problem? Tweeners thrive in the 3-4, and I'd take him in a heartbeat in the 3rd.
-
All these draft and FA ILB's have kept me intrigued for a long time.
I've loved Skov ever since the last offseason, but a lot are knocking him for his pass defense deficiencies.
Everyone seems to love Yawin Smallwood, but there are reasons why he's not a first round pick, so he hasn't yet appeared to be as good as everyone's saying.
And then it's almost like the same story for Spikes and Butler, respectively, but are going to be more certain, and certainly more expensive.
-
This sort of hurts me that we're missing 2 of our first 4 picks, I think this is a very deep class. But it's definitely gonna happen where a stud falls to us, or we can trade down to fill some more holes.
-
In the beginning, I was all for this. But you have to think about which individual player will help out the team the most, which might actually include another receiver.
-
Intriguing, but no. This is the year to have draft picks, and even late in the draft, there are some good gems out there.
-
I like it. A lot of plans project an almost dream team scenario which never works out. But a few key players that would definitely fit, I've got no problems with it. I'd actually be very happy with it.
-
For the record, I'm not even perfectly ok with my own... let's call it a "plan." I just see this is as a very basic layout of a way we could move forward. Not everyone is ever going to be completely happy, but with different perspectives and values, we can build a dynasty.
Although I'm sticking by picks- for now. Personally, I'm an in-the-trenches type guy, but players make up a team- players, not positions. Therefore, weight should be placed on the individual player instead of his position, and looking at where we pick, I like our chances with these players to make an impact on our team more so than others.
-
Say we sign a competent ILB, and maybe a center, and then just a few low level free agents. Would everyone be cool with our draft picks being:
2nd- A CB like Fuller/Pyrifoy
3rd- A pass rusher (possibly a LEO to replace Walden in due time) like Smith/Sam/Lawrence
5th- Kenny Ladler, a mini Bethea, give him 2-3 years to learn behind his clone
And do whatever with our 6th and 7th picks, maybe a lineman and wide reciever.
Thoughts?

Alright Jackson, welcome to Indy. I've liked you for a number of years and I think he'll thrive here as a Colt.
