Round 2: Colby Fleener TE
Round 3: Brian Quick WR
It would be nice to trade freeney for a 2nd or 3rd round pick and draft CB or OL
-
That's why I called it a nightmare :-) Too many choices for too many holes. But I trust Grigson and the front office. I have a good feeling that we end up with a great draft

Round 2: Coby Fleener TE
I never thought Hill, Fleener and Glenn would fall to the second round! It's kind of a nightmare to choose from so many good players with our 2nd round pick. I think Glenn will go to Rams with the first pick in the 2nd round. Fleener or Hill? I would go with Fleener, because he was Lucks main target at Stanford, fills a huge hole in the Colts roster and the TE class is very weak.
Round 3: Brian Quick WR
Another target for Andrew Luck. Good size, good speed and we need some quality depth behind Reggie Wayne and Austin Collie
I still hope we can get something for Dwight Freeney a 2nd or 3rd rounder would be great and then maybe draft CB or OL. I think we have to invest in the Offense this year. We will suck anyway with so many holes and should go Defense next year. Give Luck some weapons and protections should be priority number one.

It will be a tough season anyway so protect Andrew and give him some weapons and invest in the defense next year
-
Draft days are crazy days. you see players fall, you see players rise and you see teams making stupid decisions!
-
whats next? Hank Baskett was on their payroll?
-
wow was that a donald brown memorial block by stanfords nr. 33 :-) ?
-
Oh and I almost forgot that we have some cap space next year that will help us too.
-
Thanks for your feedback! NT is a big need without a doubt but so is the Offense. Offense for me has a higher priority right now and I think we should be fine with McKinney and Jean-Baptiste at least for this year. And who knows, maybe one of them turns out to be a decent starter. There are some nice prospects at the DT position for next year and I would invest a 1st or 2nd round pick in next years draft to improve the d-line.

Before I start with my mock let me say - and I mentioned that before in several post - that it is impossible to fill all holes with one draft or fill the holes all with adequate talent. So it will take at least one or two more drafts to build the monster. I expect the team to play better this year than last but we will still struggle and although I become a Colts fan because of Peyton Manning I'm fine with that. I'm still a Colt and always will be, what we need now is patience and I hope we all don't panic if it takes some time for this team to grow over the coming years. But now that's my final mock:
Round 1 (1): Andrew Luck QB (Stanford)
Round 2 (34): Kevin Zeitler OG (Wisconsin)
If Colby Fleener or Stephen Hill should be around I would take one of them, but I expect that both will be gone so I go with Kevin Zeitler here. Although we signed some veterans via free agency to improve our O-line we could still use some young talent and protecting Andrew Luck should be a priority. I know a lot of people would like Janoris Jenkins with that pick (if he is around) and I know that he is very talented but I doubt that he can stay out of trouble for a long time. But if the Colts should take him I trust the judgement of Grigson and Pagano. So the 2nd round pick was kind of tough for me ;-)
Round 3 (64): Brian Quick WR (Appalachian State)
Round 4 (97): Josh Norman CB (Coastal Carolina)
Round 5 (136): Nicolas Jean-Baptiste DT (Baylor)
Round 5 (170): T.Y. Hilton WR (Florida International)
Round 6 (206): James Hanna TE (Oklahoma)
Round 7 (208): Tavon Wilson S (Illinois)
Round 7 (214): Noah Keller LB (Ohio)
Round 7 (253): Ryan Van Bergen DE (Michigan)

It's nearly impossible to fill all the holes on our roster with one draft. I think we should draft a NT in the mid rounds like Nicolas Jean-Baptiste from Baylor and then draft another NT in next years draft with our 1st or 2nd round pick. In my opinion our priority should be the Offense in this years draft. We need protection and some weapons for Andrew. We have an aging Reggie Wayne, Austin Collie, a questionmark called Donnie Avery and some unknown guys as Receivers and with Brody Eldridge only one blocking TE. That's not much. Maybe a guy like Baptiste turns out great and if not we still can draft a NT high next year, we will struggle anyway this year with alle the holes and rebuilding.
-
We need some weapons for Luck! We only have Wayne, Collie, Avery (an behind him is a big questionmark) and nearly nothing on the TE position. I know that NT is a position of need, but moving back and giving up some quality picks would be a dumb move with so many holes to fill. I think we should draft Nicolas Jean-Baptiste from Baylor or Akiem Nicks in the middle to late rounds, together with veteran McKinney we have some NT to work with with and draft a long term solution for the NT position next year with our 1st or 2nd round pick. There should be some good NT available next year.
-
I would like to hang out with Mr. Irrelevant :-)
-
If he is there I would take him. Big, fast and with good hands. I also like Brian Quick from Appalachian State.
-
guys like jenkins can't stay out of trouble for a long time. he is a talented player without a doubt but we should pick a more reliable player with our second pick.
-
Stephen Hill! Because of his size, speed, he also showed good route running at his pro day. We can get a good CB at the 3rd or 4th round.
-
There are two guys I want with our 2nd round pick: Coby Fleener or Stephen Hill. And because I want them, we probably end with someone other :-) I highly doubt that Fleener or Hill will be around, but getting one of them would be great. WIth McKinney signed I think we will draft another NT in the mid rounds, TE class isn't very deep so if Fleener is gone we will draft a guy like Hanna later. I think we should draft a WR with our second pick, probably trade down a bit in the second round an get another pick. CB maybe in the third (Josh Norman).
-
I can't await the new season and the NEW Colts!
-
Btw are there any other players the Colts work out?
-
Any opinions on Sammy Lee Hill? Just saw that he is still a free agent. Nice size 6'4 330lb and just 25 years old.
-
After the Luck hype we now have the RG3 hype...
-
any other players workout for the colts?

WR
We have Reggie Wayne and Austin Collie as only reliable options at the WR position. Blair White, Donnie Avery, Jeremy Ross, Jarred Fayson are all competitors for the 4-5th spot. Also injuries are a concern and would blow a big hole in our receiving corp. So we definitely have to draft 1-2 WR in this years draft. It would be nice to get Stephen Hill with our 2nd round pick if he falls. Also Brian Quick looks good in the mid rounds. The WR class is deep so we should get two got prospects.
TE
We only have Brody Eldridge on our roster and his strength is blocking not receiving. Coby Fleener would be nice but he is projected to go in the first round especially after his great perfomances at the combine and his pro day. The TE class isn't very deep but there are some interesting prospects in the mid to late rounds like James Hanna from Oklahoma. A veteran TE would be nice too and I wouldn't mind if we resign Dallas Clark for a reasonable price.
DT
Colts need a NT and at some point they will address the position at the draft. I would be fine with Nicolas Jean-Baptiste or Akiem Hicks in the mid rounds and a veteran DT. Probably not a long term solution but with so many holes we can't fill all position with 1 or 2nd round talent.
CB
Jerraud Powers is solid. Both Rucker and Thomas showed some promise but we need some help and the CB class is deep so we should get prospect even in the mid rounds.
I'm a bit torn because we could use all picks on our defense but also need some weapons and protection for Mr. Luck. As i mentioned before we can't address all holes adequate.
