[Denzelle Good]

You can`t teach experience and Good got his first dose of it today. Thought he played okay for a 7th rd

pick from where is that U.

[Top Prospects In Areas Of Need]

Nice work here. IMO Rd 1 the Colts need a pass rusher first and foremost. I`d go RT in Rd 2.

[Andrew Luck's play [Merge]]

Yes, the Colts are a bad football team. No, Luck is not overrated! The guy is trying to do to much! The play calling is terrible. I will stay away from the injury excuses. It may be a factor but he`s on the field. 

[Kind of early offseason plan]

Trent Cole $4,250,000 $1,000,000 $2,000,000 $0 $0 $7,250,000   $1,000,000 $6,250,000 D\’Qwell Jackson $5,500,000 $250,000 $0 $0 $0 $5,750,000   $500,000 $5,250,000 Arthur Jones $4,500,000 $1,100,000 $0 $0 $0 $5,600,000   $3,300,000 $2,300,000 Robert Mathis $3,500,000 $0 $1,500,000 $0 $0 $5,000,000   $0 $5,000,000 Erik Walden $4,000,000 $250,000 $0 $0 $0 $4,250,000   $250,000 $4,000,000 Darius Butler $1,500,000 $500,000 $1,000,000 $0 $0 $3,000,000   $500,000 $2,500,000 Nate Irving $2,000,000 $250,000 $500,000 $0 $0 $2,750,000   $500,000 $2,250,000

 

Here is a few other Colts I would consider cutting before next season. The cap savings is to the far right. I don`t see any of these players warranting that amount of money IMO.

[The Safeties Are an Issue]

I don't see how the alignment of the front 7 has anything to do with whether a safety is a good fit for the colts defense or not.  BTW, Collins played at Alabama, a team that largely runs with a 3-4 front.

Someone did n`t do all their homework. Safety is nowhere near as a difficult change from 4-3 to 3-4 ect, as would a front seven position. Alabama runs a 3-4 defense anyways. He would have been a great addition to our league worst defense.  

[The Safeties Are an Issue]

How can a guy who barely gets a chance to see the field produce anything? Collins is on the field all the time, Kendricks, Darby etc

So this justifies Dorsett being an okay pick and makes more sense than drafting some of the other players I mentioned? Got it!

[The Safeties Are an Issue]

The safeties are fine. 

 

And Landon Collins can't cover.

42 tackles, INT and five PD on the season. He`s getting better each week. Collins would have been a better pick for the Colts than Dorsett IMO. However, I think Kendricks would have given us that defensive difference maker we needed. Dorsett is no T.Y. 

[The Safeties Are an Issue]

Don't do that, forum hates when you say facts about how awful the Dorsett pick was

Erick Kendricks, Stephone Anthony, Ronald Darby, Rob Havenstein and Hau Kikana drafted in between Dorsett and Smith picks. Its early but hurts looking at this. Kendricks is a future Pro bowler for years IMO. 35 tackles and 4 SACKS from the Mike so far. 

[The Safeties Are an Issue]

Could have had Landon Collins who is having a good season with the Giants so far. 

[Emory Hunt's Colts Mock Draft.]

Awful to say the least.

[1st Mock]

1. Byron Jones, CB- Has safety experience. Could replace Toler next year.
2. Paul Dawson, LB
3. Daryl Williams, OT
4. Clayton Geathers, SS

5. Ramik Wilson, LB
6. Damian Swann, CB

6. Joey Mbu, DT

7. Brian Mihalik, DE

7. Matt Jones, RB

 

[Colts Mock 3.0]

I like Byron Jones, CB. He played safety for 2 years before moving to CB. Also, excels in press man coverage.

[Players most likely to fall on draft day?]

Yes, I was thinking Kwame Harris and J. Martin. Both drafted fairly high and were mediocre.  Peat doesn't` seem to have mean streak in him. More of a finesse guy, so that's where the thought process in him falling out of 1st is.

[I've got a new favorite S prospect]

Byron Jones, CB Played safety for 2 years before moving to CB. Excells in press man. Could be a safety option.

[Players most likely to fall on draft day?]

Andrus Peat. Stanford has a lot of offensive linemen drafted pretty high, only to be mediocre in the NFL.

[Mike Davis visiting this week]

I`d be happy with Davis or Cobb in the 4th rd.

[Derrick Lott -- Late round prospect]

He has great size at 6-4 314lbs. He has some pass rush potential. Would be a great pick in the 5th. 

[Funk's Mock Draft(s) 2.0]

I like both mocks.

[Imagine This Scenario...]

Manning playing does not change the fact that this defense is horrible. Throw in the fact that the Colts coaching staff stinks and I'd say pipe dream.

[What's The Main Reason The Patriots Could Win Without Brady?]

The opposing teams signals recorded.

[What Type Of Defense We Had Under Ted Marchibroda?]

Precisely.... and of all years for there to be no stud DTs coming out of college, it winds up being this year when we're likely to pick Top 3.

Keep in mind for years that the Colts never drafted any DT's early or with any size. The one year the Colts had Corey Simon was the best defense they had during the Peyton years. I don't know if Dungy had any insight on draft day, or was he just overrated as a defensive guru.
