[Should we leave Braden Smith at right tackle?]

I have a feeling Smith will be at RT a long time.

I have all sorts of red flags about the front office after this draft.

 

I'm hopeful on all the picks and I've defended them.

 

But when the owner and GM come out and say Green was a 1st round pick on their board,  and Clark was a borderline 1/2 and Hoag was a 2nd round pick,   so I assume Ridgeway and Morrison were also high on their board....     when they keep saying they're drafting five guys who are 1-3 rounds higher on the board then where they are drafted,  that's a red flag for me.     Especially with a front office whose drafting I view as spotty.

 

If they had a better track record, I'd have more confidence.     Now?     I'm just highly skeptical and hoping over the next two years that I'm proven wrong and they're proven right.     I'd be happy to be wrong.

 

But I fear I'm not....

Listen to R V's interview with JMV on 1070 the fan he address this ....      honestly the Colts NEEDED to start taking this route. ..     The key is did they hit?

Player Overview

 

Arguably the most intense player at the college level, Morrison wasn't supposed to play the first half of the 2015 season due to a serious knee injury in the Gators' bowl game last January. He was expected to miss 10-12 months, but was back on the field in only six months and played at a very high level as a senior with back-to-back 100-tackle seasons to cap his Florida career.

Can't teach heart...

I expect high-scoring games next season. On both sides of the ball.

That is exactly their plan..   next draft will be all D and a RB

[Colts select Joe Haeg, OL, North Dakota State]

Andrew Luck cannot continue to get blasted ...    Grigs finally figured it out..   I hope he hit on these guys?

So what do we project for our starting OL next year?  Castonzo, Mewhort, Kelly, Clark, Reitz/Good?

AC, Mew, Kelly, Good, Reitz..    day one unit.

[Colts select Joe Haeg, OL, North Dakota State]

Just now, 21isSuperman said:

Does this mean the Colts aren't all that confident in Good?

No they are not confident in this teams miserable depth on the OL...   I love this ...    OL should have been priority one from the get go.   Better late than never?

[The secondary next year. What's it look like?]

Rob is a slot guy..    Green or Smith will start at CB...    PRESS coverage and a lot of blitzing is on order in 2016.    Gotta out score opponents. ..    that's why I love the investment in OL.   Can't teach speed or aggressiveness Green has both.

 

[5 defensive needs; but just 4 premium picks....]

A guard or Spriggs in 2nd.  D rest of draft..    

[Reitz vs Good]

If Colts draft a T don't be surprised to see Good at G.

Hey,  there you are!        Where have you been?!?

 

I haven't seen a post of yours in months?

 

Hoping you're well,  and wanted to let you know it's good to see you back here!       

Just been lurking..

[Predict THIS!!! Will the Colts Trade Down in the First Round and With Who?]

The Colts will be able to trade down if they wish to...  someone will want a qb, if Cook n Lynch are still around at 18?   Green Bay needs a mlb bad maybe they would swap?    For Ragland?

Seattle.  We drop 7 spots and get a 3rd third this year and a 3rd next year.  Seattle takes RB Elliott.

Zee won't get past Miami..  maybe Dallas

[ESPN suggests the Colts should trade for Joe Thomas]

If JT could be had for a 2 you do that every day of the week...   He is a sure thing for at least 4 years.    Far better bet than rolling the dice on a rookie.  

[one word-Aaron Bailey]

Should a never come to that...   Coryatt huge drop n Pitt getting home cooking

[Mel Kiper Mock]

Castonzo is good but if a rookie came in and was better...    He would get the job.  Or should   And AC would just have to move and deal with it.   Chuck needs to drop all this loyalty crap and put the best 22 starters on the field. 

[jmv ... Payton is who Indy wants...]

LaCanfora or whoever his name is says mid round pick.  I'd do that...
