Bills are gonna draft, with first draft pick of day 2, either McConkey or Mitchell.
Maybe, they'll surprise and pick another WR but past few draft selections show that different teams have different WRs at the top order of their draft board.
They need a lot of stuff. Receiver, corner, safety, edge, etc..

“Edge was need nobody was talking about” ?? Really? I’ve been talking about it for months.
Haven’t many posters been screaming for more pressures? You don’t think Latu can bring more pressure? Sorry, I confess I’m surprised at this perspective.
No you misunderstand my friend.
Im saying people should be more excited for the pick. Edge was a legit need. I like the pick personally. It just seems everyone thought the biggest needs were WR, CB, and Safety.

Once Bowers was gone, all bets were off. I get people wanted a WR or CB, but the Colts got the most productive pass rusher in the draft and best overall by every notable metric.

Jags got him
Yeah that sucks but was probably wishful thinking on my part lol. Maybe Worthy will be there.

Seriously guys, Edge was a need no one was talking about. Last year we had a lot of sacks but not a lot of pressures. Plus Paye and Dayo are FAs next year m, but neither has cracked more than 8.5 sacks.

I voted BTJ. Latu is the type of pass rusher we need. All of Ballard’s edge rushers have been high ceiling, low floor ultra athlete types. Latu is fairly athletic but is also a technician. So he’d be a good addition.
But we have to build around the QB while he’s on his rookie deal to be able to give him a fair evaluation. To do that he needs weapons. To me Pierce is on borrowed time if we draft a receiver. BTJ has a really high ceiling as a guy who is faster than every receiver currently on our team, but also has nuance to his game to become a 3 level threat. He’s get with Reggie Wayne and you’re talking about a true WR1.
This is why I don’t hate the Latu pick. They went against what they typically draft. And with the way the draft is going, BTJ might go round 2.

Skill over traits IMO although Latu checked the athleticism box:

These reactions are funny. The year we got Paye, I remember a lot of people here wanted Jalean Phillips who also had to medically retire because of concussion.

Different than any other rusher we have. We have guys with good traits, but not elite technique. Latu is athletic and skilled.

If the strategy is to draft and re-sign, then you will need to continuously draft a lot of players in all positions because not much is coming from free agency. You've got to make lot of draft picks, and not all of the drafted players are gonna work out.
That is the strategy, but when you have most of your starters on 2nd-3rd contacts and have depth behind them, how many picks do you really need? You can only put 53 on the final roster. If you have 10 picks, you’re lucky if 6 make the final roster.
-
Something Holder said in the Locked on Colts podcast was that he wasn’t positive Ballard is going to trade back a bunch. His reasoning was that when you look at the roster and everyone who was brought back, how many positions are up for grabs? Your entire starting OL is back although Kelly and Fries are FAs next year, that can be addressed later in the draft. Your starting IDL have been extended too and you have depth there. The secondary and TE is really the only position group that has open spots because there aren’t proven players.
So would it even make sense to trade down and make 10 draft picks, and maybe 7 make the final 53, and even less than that become long term contributors. It’s not something I thought about before, but it does make sense. -
My Sleepers:
-Malik Mustapha, Safety Texas Tech
-Mason McCormick, OG South Dakota State
-Elijah Jones, CB Boston College
-Cedric Gray, LB North Carolina
-Isaiah Davis, RB South Dakota State
-Nehemiah Pritchett, CB Auburn
-Kam Kinchens, Safety Miami
-Jaden Hicks, Safety Washington State

He was also a team captain too. Makes him a great fit.

Based on immediate needs and BPA totally agree. Top CB Quinyon followed by TE Bowers. I know our TE room is crowded but MAC really feel this is his last year with the Club. Any given game we've seen a breakout game from one of the other tight ends we have. Bowers would be an immediate upgrade a long-term fixture. Since we haven't addressed the lack of DB depth this offseason, Quinyon is also a high priority need for our Club and should be versatile enough if we do change DC next season to match next defensive scheme.
I said it earlier but If you take Bowers, you re-work your TE room. Someone has to go. For me it would be Granson since he was drafted to be the mismatch TE, that’s what Bowers would be. Keep MAC for the blocking. I’d also put Ogletree or Mallory on the PS. Also wouldn’t mind drafting Tip Reiman late in round 5-6 to be the blocking TE with Bowers. He’s athletic enough to play STs too.
So again, if it’s Bowers, someone has to go. 5 TEs is too much anyways.
-
DJ’s mock had him as the first defensive player off the board. Murphy at 9 would do wonder for us. Maybe Odunze falls.

Who is your favorite player that you would like the Colts to draft?
Out of the list? Quinyon but Bowers is a close 2nd.
17 minutes ago, NFLfan said:Are there players that you feel are getting too much hype?
Who are your sleepers?
@Defjamz26@w87r . @stitches @John Hammonds Anyone else...
Too much hype:
-Chop Robinson: All I see is an athlete
-Marvin Harrison Jr: There’s nothing he does that Nabers or Odunze can’t do. He’s good but people make it seem like he’s in his own tier. Nabers is my WR1
-Dallas Turner: Although I listed him early as a potential Colts pick, that’s just what I think Ballard would like. Personally I don’t think he’s Will Anderson. To me he’s closer to Nolan Smitj
Im going to put my sleepers in a separate post lol. I have a “few”

Here’s my thought on the players and possibilities with the 15th pick:
If the following players are available, we stick and pick at 15 or maybe trade 3-5 spots up:
-Brock Bowers
-Quinyon Mitchell
-Dallas Turner
If the above are gone, we trade down and take one of the following:
-Brian Thomas, Jr.
-Cooper DeJean
-Xavier Worthy
-Jared Verse/Laitu Latu

Striking distance is 3-5 picks IMO and the compensation has to be future draft capital I would think. I wonder if it is really Quinyon, who is it that they feel they need to get ahead of?

Excellent article on the Athletic
https://theathletic.com/5420476/2024/04/22/nfl-draft-nil-money-impact?source=user-shared-article
NIL money has changed the draft. This year a much smaller number of underclassmen declared for the draft. Many players who could have made the draft stronger stayed in school because they get paid in college. Also, many believe that because many underclassmen stayed in school, only about 150 to 170 are draftable (have the talent to be drafted). Some getting drafted this year would have been undrafted in earlier years.
It should be a fun draft anyway.
Thats what Jim Nagy from the Senior Bowl said. NIL has basically wiped out day 3 of the draft. UDFA guys are going to get drafted in rounds 5-6.

It’s tough for me because there’s like 3 guys. But just for this argument I’ll say Quinyon Mitchell. I just think he could be the best corner this organization has ever seen.
Brian Thomas JR or Laiatu Latu

I’ll take Franklin. He’s the field stretcher we need but I think with coaching he can be more than that.
