    Don't want all of them, just one of them. Not a reach to say so?

    Gray can’t tackle, Wilson has alligator arms, not sold on Davis at RB and so on.  Not a fan on your deaft selection but to each their own not really Colts players.  Do have a few name that I like and fairly penalty free game and good enough.  Once again the Colts going out drafting players neither one of us thought they’d take.

    Please, one/some of the following:

    Braelon Allen (RB)

    Isaiah Davis (RB)

    Kamren Kitchens (S)

    Jaylin Simpson (S)

    James Williams (S)

     

     

    Talk about lowered expectations can eliminate about half of these players.  Find a better list of players bud.

    I can see the logic if Gonclaves is viewed at a G. If Will Fries continues to emerge is his contract year next year, he’ll command mid-tier guard money, something we probably won’t be able to afford given the money we’ve already put into the oline. Can see Gonclaves being developed as a future starter.

    Too many OL are upcoming FA.  Doesn’t shock me we address the issue early but not going to deaft a guy who gets 7+ penalties a season in college in roughly 8 weeks.  Worst part some of these OL play against much lower competition to boot.  By the time you multiply that to a full NFL why I had to change by draft list. 

  4. Final edition, call it a less penalty driven team draft.

     

    The Colts trade up on Day 1.

     

    Round 1

    a)       WR Rome Odunze (Washington) – led all receivers in CFB in pass interference call draws with 9 in 2023.

    b)      LCB Quinyon Mitchell (Toledo) – Only had 3 penalties in the last two seasons.

    c)       WLB Edgerrin Cooper (Texas A&M)

     

    Round 2 

    a)      OL Cooper Beebe (Kansas State) – Jack of all trades OL No matter where Cooper Beebe lines up, he produces elite play. At right tackle in 2020, he was a PFF honorable mention All-Big 12 honoree. As a left tackle in 2021, he was named first-team All-Big 12. In 2022 at left guard, Beebe was a second-team All-American.  Beebe's 94.0 pass-blocking grade over the past two seasons led all offensive linemen in college football. During that span, he didn’t allow a sack on 770 pass-blocking snaps.  Beebe is the only FBS guard who ranks in the top five in both PB (4th) and RB (2nd).  He still hasn’t allowed a sack since the 2020 season. 2023 earned college football midseason all-America First Team.   Very few penalties throughout his career.

    b)      FS/NCB Javon Bullard (Georgia) – only had 5 penalties in college.

    c)       SS Jaden Hicks (Washington State) – 2023 PFF TOW 2 honors. Leader on defense that off to a strong start for 2023 earning a 90.1 PFF grade in coverage with one interception after 3 weeks, dropped another but forced 4 incompletions.  Great field and anticipation skills along with ball production.  Versatile can align up in FS, SS, LB, or nickel.  Only had 3 penalties in 2023.

     

    Round 3

    a)       CB Khyree Jackson (Oregon) – 2023 PFF TOW 4 honors.  Jackson had a decent Senior Bowl Week and is best in Zone Coverage. Jackson’s got excellent height we covet at 6’3” with great weight at 203 pounds, with ideal arms 32” and the span of 78” and good 4.44s-Forty.  Only committed 4 penalties in 2023.

    b)       DB Dadrion Taylor-Demerson (Texas Tech) - only 7 career penalties with 200 tackles, 57 stops, 11 pressues, 3 sacks, 16 passes defended, and 10 interceptions.

    c)       LCB Kris Abrams-Draine (Missouri) - 2023 PFF TOW 4 honors.  After 6 games leads all FBS players with 8 PBUs (1.8 PDPG) while adding 3 INTs.   10 combined interceptions and (7) forced incompletions are the most among Power Five CBs while only allowing 11 catches all season. 2023 college football midseason all-America First Team.  His 86.8 coverage grade is 5th highest in the FBS allowing just 107 passing yards and 11 receptions on the season.

    d)      SWR Malik Washington (Virginia) – Josh Downs 2.0 and only committed 4 total penalties in five years (52 career games).

     

    Round 4

    b)      FS Cole Bishop (Utah) junior if he declares – After 5 weeks in 2023, targeted 13 times, 4 catches allowed, 2 INTs, and 4.8 passer rating allowed.  Had a decent Senior Bowl week. Ejected for a targeting penalty.  In 3 years only allowed 7 penalties.

    c)       RB Isaac Guerendo (Louisville) – 9.97 RAS

     

    Round 5

    a)       WLB Michael Barrett (Michigan) PFF TOW 7 honors, round 5 projection had an outstanding year with an overall 90.6 defense grade only behind Edgerrin Cooper.  An 82.5 run defense grade, a 93.5 pass rush grade, and a 77.0 coverage grade.  Didn’t commit a defensive penalty in more than 1800 defensive snaps.

    b)      SS Malik Mustapha (Wake Forest) – Zero career penalties

    c)       SS Kitan Oladapo (Oregon St) – only 4 accepted penalties in final 30 games.

    My personal sleeper I think is Malik Washington, WR, Virginia. I think he's massively underrated. IMO he has day 2 talent and you rarely if ever hear about him. 

    Washington had a break-out year for sure and was his best decision of his collegiate career to transfer and obviously paid dividends.  Washington said it before but looks like Josh Downs 2.0 and project to be drafted very similar in Round 3.  Between wide receivers and defensive backs, we could use another strong Downs clone in the slot.  With Downs that is the only biggest knock about drafting TE Bowers as he commands a lot of passes in the slot and would take away an already important role the Downs already excels in doing.

    Out of the list? Quinyon but Bowers is a close 2nd. 

    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.

    Yep, he should be in “striking distance”.  

    With the NFL postponing Atlanta's potential draft picks deferred to next year this might very well be a blessing for the Colts tbh and offer them something in return for trading up with them knowing full well they are looking to forfeit pick(s).  If not, the Colts look for another team to make the offer with Atlanta to move up.  That's my projection.  A Colts trade up should keep us in consideration for a top CB or even TE Bowers imo.

  8. Like most QBs they need a safety blanket to throw to and that can be a TE.  Draft rumor-mill already in full circulation with news that the Colts want to trade up on Day 1.  Still think it's a long shot to draft a legacy in MHJ reaching P4 with the Cardinals.  A trade up to P8 with Atlanta is probably the most realistic scenario and TE Bowers would be the call-in.  Not sold on most of this year's draftable QBs and doubt 4 or more will be drafted within the top-8 picks.  See the draft play out like every other year where teams can stay and get a serviceable QB.

    Take it for what this is worth, but they said on Pat McAfee not long ago Indy is looking to trade up. 

    This could very well be the rare year we do trade up on Day 1.  Really shocked if we go after a legacy and the cost might be too rich for the short-term versus draft immediate draft needs.  Now a trade up to say P8 swap with Atlanta has a higher percentage of happening I do feel.  No way going to trade within our division with the Titans at P7.  At P8 should still have one of the top-3 WRs or even better option of drafting a generational TE in Bowers.
