Claypool makes the receiving room worse

This forum flips on players so fast.

He's one of the best coverage guys on the team and he's not a world class * for betting on games, players have done far worse and received less punishment

Definitely think he's going to be a bigger loss to the team than some people think

He was the fifth best rated cornerback last season via PFF 2022: 82.1 grade 2021: 70.7 grade 2020: 73.9 grade

Hoping it's not Rodgers, that dude can ball. Shame if it is, I think he had a great chance to get paid this offseason

Bad scheme and injuries held the OL back for the majority of last year

Let's hope Julius Brents is our Richard Sherman

Absolutely This draft will be decided by which AFC South team picked the right guy - if any I'm probably one of the few that's more excited about Julius Brents than any other player they picked

I had him in Round 4

He's a TE converted into an OT with only a year of experience in the trenches Fantastic athlete and great traits but he's developmental as they get Ballard and Co had a great draft - on paper

Big fan of this pick Had him in my Colts mock He's a long, physical corner, very willing in the run game, and fits in the C3 scheme. He's not an athletic freak and he's gonna struggle with speed/agility in the NFL

DBs: Kelee Ringo CB Darius Rush CB Jaylon Jones CB Clark Phillips CB Kyu Kelly CB JL Skinner S Christopher Smith S DL: Ade Ade DL Andre Carter DE KJ Henry DE Position: Tyler Scott WR Deuce Vaughn RB OL: Dawand Jones OT Jarrett Patterson IOL Luke Wypler IOL Andrew Vorhees IOL Olu Olu IOL Jon Gaines IOL

Not necessarily talking about speed when it comes to the comparison Moreso route running, separation, shiftiness, and a match-up exploit

His ceiling is TY Hilton

That's a big time pick. Brents could be a monster in the league Wrote this a few days ago: He’s 6’3” with 34 inch arms and and had fantastic testing at the combine He’s played in both man and zone schemes during his stints at Iowa and KState. Ball skills are great, he’s aggressive at the catch, knows how to move his feet in zone, and is a very willing run defender. Add more physicality and reps to his press-man ability, get his hips to be fluid in motion, and I think he’s got a chance to be an absolute stud in the league.

Hoping for a trade down If not: CBs: Julius Brents Kelee Ringo Joey Porter OL: Steve Avila O'Cyrus Torrence Joe Tippman Receivers: Jonathan Mingo Jalin Hyatt Tyler Scott Michael Mayer

Hoping it's Julius Brents. He's a stud.

Forgot about his ACL and the Gilmore swap Vorhees can probably be dropped down to the R5 (doubtful he'd be there), Diaby would be a good target in R5 aswell Someone like Tippman, Olu, or Patterson can slide into R3

Colts Mock: First and only mock from me for this season. I expect Ballard to move out of 35 because I doubt Ringo will be available. 35 (550) to Washington for 47 and 97 (542) R1P4: Will Levis QB Kentucky The 4 QBs have been talked about all offseason, most everyone should know the pros and cons of them so I’ll keep this pick short. I’ve felt Levis fits the Colts the most out of the 3 QBs that should be available at 4. He’s highly instinctual, loved by teammates, a great leader, has a fantastic arm, has experience in NFL playcalling, and I think his mechanics can be ironed out with good coaching. His ‘22 film wasn’t otherworldly by any means and the blame partially falls on his shoulders but if you watch his offensive line play, it’s reminiscent of Luck trying to play behind Grigson’s failure of a trench. Whoever the QB is, they’ll get my support. R2P47: Julius Brents CB Kansas State Brents is one of my favorite guys in the class and I hope he makes it to this pick. He’s 6’3” with 34 inch arms and and had fantastic testing at the combine He’s played in both man and zone schemes during his stints at Iowa and KState. Ball skills are great, he’s aggressive at the catch, knows how to move his feet in zone, and is a very willing run defender. Add more physicality and reps to his press-man ability and I think he’s got a chance to be an absolute stud in the league. He’d slide in perfect to play OCB at the strong side of Bradley’s defense R3P79: Andrew Vorhees OG USC 5 years of experience on the OL at every position except for center He’s out for blood when it comes to run blocking and him paired with Nelson should make JT’s job much easier. He’s aggressive, always looking to knock somebody over, finishes plays, knows how to use his hands to get defensive linemen off their game, can adjust well after first-punch strikes and is an anchor on the line. He has below average arm length which could prove to work against him when working against NFL tier defensive linemen. R3P97: Tyler Scott WR Cincinatti Tyler Scott in my opinion is a junior version of Jalin Hyatt. He’s a burner on the field, knows how to track go-balls, and knows how to navigate open fields due to his experience in playing running back. He’s only 5’10, 180 and his arm size is average. Catch radius and run blocking aren’t going to be strengths of his in the league. He’s also had issues with drops in college. R4P106: Jaylon Jones CB Texas A&M Corner is a position I think Ballard needs to double dip in. He’s a bigger prospect and plays that way when it comes to physicality at the catch. He’s not afraid to get dirty in the run game and he’s going to play a lot better on a defense that runs zone more than man. His footwork is very raw, his hips aren’t as fluid as they can be, and his long speed is an issue. If the coaches can get his mechanics corrected, I’d expect him to be CB4 in his rookie year. R5P138: JL Skinner S Boise State I think this team truly needs a top end guy back there but I can only dream about Budda being sent to Indy and while I don’t think Skinner is that player, I do think he can help this safety room. Skinner is a hard-hitting, helmet in chest downhill safety that isn’t afraid of contact. He’s gotta add more weight when he hits the league and I think he needs more work in reading the field, playing angles, and getting his hips to be less stiff and more fluid. R5P162: Michael Wilson WR Stanford Wilson’s a talented player that’s been plagued by injuries. He’s been a team captain at Stanford, loves to run block, and I think he’s at his best in the MOF. His route running needs work and he’s probably not going to be a deep threat but every team needs a physical guy that can work in the middle. He’s also a plus gunner on ST R7P221: Jalen Redmond DT Oklahoma R7P236: Caleb Murphy DE Ferris State Redmond and Murphy are both likely PS guys or at the most depth rotational guys. Redmond is a rush first IDL, he’s quick off the line and has decent counter moves to hit the OL with but he’s a liability in the run game. Murphy had absurd sack numbers at FState but played against mostly D2 players and he got worked by a few tight ends at the Shrine game.

He'd be lucky to make the practice squad

Hendon Hooker is nowhere near the 2nd best QB in the draft

Mahomes, Burrow, Allen, Herbert, Hurts, Lawrence, Lamar, ARod, and Dak are the only cemented franchise guys in the league right now If finding a franchise guy was easy, there'd be more than 9 of them

1. The worst GM in Colts history is the one that's to blame for Luck's sudden retirement. That's a fact. -Bjeorn Werner, Trent Richardson, Philip Dorsett, D'Joun Smith, Donte Moncrief, Hugh Thornton His Day 2 picks were terrible. 2. Hindsight is 20-20 3. OL was top 3 in '18-19, top 8 in '20, top 12 in '21 and struggled the first half of the year in '22 mainly due to scheme and injuries... 4. There's plenty of teams without a top edge rusher in the league right now. Isaiah Rodgers and Kenny Moore would start at OCB and slot for a lot of teams..

Herbert was one of my favorite prospects in that class Can only wonder what would've happened if he ended up in Colts blue
