Also, Bolles is the same age as Tyron Smith.. kinda crazy huh lol. Both 24 I believe.
Smith is 26
But yah, that's the only knock on Bolles, he's 24.

Garett Bolles is a very interesting player. I also like Forrest Lamp of the O-line class. But overall I gotta go with Alvin Kamara. He had some runs last season that were absolutely ridiculous. Check out his tape against Vanderbilt.
The thing with this Vanderbilt tape is... I couldn't figure out if he was good and powerful or the Vanderbilt players make the softest and poorest tackles I've seen recently? But overall I can see why you like him. He's a fun player to watch and he has a lot of WOW explosive plays.

You don't need to think he's the best player in the draft or even the best player at his position. You don't need to want him for the Colts(maybe he doesn't fit our schemes). He might just be a fun guy to watch but be projected in the late rounds. And yes, I will insist on a single player per person
My personal draft crush this year is Garett Bolles from Utah. To the point where I'm not even going to be mad if we drafted him in the first round. I love the guy. I love his story, I love his tape and he's expected to blow up the combine as well. I love how aggressive he is in the running game, I love his ability to recognize and execute blocks, I love the way he pulls at the second level. I love the way he finishes plays (there are multiple cases of him driving linebackers 20-30 yards downfield or pancaking them at the line of scrimmage. He needs to add a bit of strength, but damn is he fun player to watch.
His story is a bit weird and he has a troubled past, but of the kind that make you root for the guy to succeed.
After this he transferred to Utah from his juco this past year and usurped the LT spot from day one and just destroyed opponents on his way to First Team All-Pac12 recognition. He's now married and has a baby boy and is preparing for the NFL draft.
So there it is. Who is your draft crush in this year's draft? Do you want him on the Colts and at what point of the draft would you be happy to get him? What is the thing that made you a fan of said prospect?
P.S. Yes, I decided for the draft season to change my avatar picture to Garett Bolles ...

Here's all the picks for Denver:
20. OJ Howard, TE, Alabama
51. Jaleel Johnson, DL, Iowa
82. Kareem Hunt, RB, Toledo
101. ArDarius Stewart, WR, Alabama
127. Julie'n Davenport, OT, BucknellThoughts? I wanted to pick a OT earlier but never found the right value. OJ Howard was just too good to pass on. Davenport is a bit of a project, but has great physical tools and can be developed into a good tackle IMO.
-
With the 127th pick the Denver Broncos select Julie’n Davenport, OT, Bucknell
Detroit Lions and @SolomonThomasFanAccount are on the clock.

I love Harris. One of the best bursts and the best spin move in this year's pass-rushers class. I like him better than most passrushers in this draft that are projected in the first 2 rounds.
-
With the 101st(compensatory pick the Denver Broncos select ArDarius Stewart,
WR Alabama.
The Seattle Seahawks and @danlhart87 are on the clock

Love Rivers in the 5th... Didn't play against great competition, but he's going to be a good pro, in my view.
With the hype he's getting lately I doubt he lasts past day 2, though.

Imagine both Reuben Foster and Takk fall to our pick in the first and second respectively... Do you take them?
Here's Takk benchpressing 230lbs 24 times with his torn labrum:

With the 51st pick, the Broncos select Jaleel Johnson, DL, Iowa
@MTC and the Browns are on the clock.

I like Carl Lawson and Derek Rivers at this point of the draft. Budda Baker would be amazing value as well.. I don't buy TJ Watt this high.

Yes, that's indeed Jamaal Williams breaking down tape of his own games with Matt Waldman from the Rookie Scouting Portfolio. It shows an interesting perspective from the viewpoint of the running back himself about what he sees and how he processes information:
Jamaal has been a favorite prospect of mine for a while now and this video solidified my favorable opinion on him. Any time past round 2 I would be good with taking him for the Colts. He also seems to have good head on his shoulders and he knows his limitations(jump cuts) and is saying he's working towards improving in those areas.

One of my best mock drafts yet:

I like it. I'm with very mixed feelings about Mixon, but if they do their due diligence and are willing to take short term PR hit, I guess... the talent would be way too good to pass on.

With the 20th pick, the Broncos select OJ Howard, TE from Alabama.
Detroit and @SolomonThomasFanAccount are on the clock.

And I believe it was Mel Kiper who started mocking Kelly to us before everyone else did and the report came out that we loved him. I expect the same will happen in his next mock.
I think it was Matt Miller that released the report that we love Kelly and that we are leaning toward selecting him at 18. I'm not sure who was first to start mocking him to us and if it happened before or after that report.

.. but I've watched enough of him over the past two years to know that he's one of my favorite college players of all time, and that I think any team that can't get production out of him isn't well coached on offense.
In other words, for his sake he better not be drafted by the Colts with our current HC and OC.

This reminds me of last year when every Mock had Taylor Decker going to the Colts. I'd say Cook would be a perfect fit with the Colts, but the dream pick would be either Foster or Thomas.
Yeah. It was Taylor Decker after Taylor Decker mocks... And about a week or two before the draft there was a leak from the Colts that we love Kelly and pretty much everybody after that point mocked him to us.
-
There are about 10 dream targets I'd rather have than any of the 4 he's mentioned.
-
I'm gonna take the Broncos.

Except ball tracking skills.
I'm absolutely not on the "Green sucks" train, but that's something he struggles with, and did in college. And it's a major concern for someone we presumably want to play free safety.
How easy is this to coach up? Can we even expect him to improve to playable level(because yes - I do think he's not playable, at least not at FS, if we want to contend for anything with his current level of coverage skills? The only reason to play him right now is for development purposes IMO.
-
I love this one. Good job.

If he's cleared off the field, Tim Williams without a question. He is a true blue chip prospect. Purely talent wise I think he can be the best pass-rusher in this draft. If he's not cleared... damn... there are some really good prospects I wouldn't mind picking on this list ... it's probably easier for me to list the ones I would rather us not take at 14/15 rather than the ones I specifically want and since I haven't really done a big board I will weasel out of it by giving up the ones I like best(in no particular order):
Malik McDowell(again - needs to get cleared off-the-field, from what I've heard people talking he's as close to a cancerous player as there is in this draft, horrible attitude, horrible treatment of teammates and coaches, etc.)
Marlon Humphrey
Sidney Jones
Derek Barnett
Takkarist McKinley
Charles Harris
Teez Tabor
Tre'Davious White
From the pass-rushers I think I like Charles Harris and Takk McKinley best. From the corners I like Tabor best.

Am I the only one who doesn't see the appeal of TJ Watt this high in the draft? I've seen him mocked in the first or second round? I wouldn't take him in the first two days at all.
But yah, that's the only knock on Bolles, he's 24.

Interesting. You don't have McDowell in your top 32? IMO that's the biggest omission here. Have you seen him or did you just think he's not worth a place in there?
