Nate!

Came away with same conclusion that they were gonna draft Tippmann if he was there. Never know for certain as the comment easily could be been a response to, do you think the Packers take Brent’s.

Hopefully Daniel Jeremiah ranked these prospects the best! (Basically this is which drafts most closely mirrored his rankings)

PFF’s typo. Noticed it too!

PFF loves the Colts draft giving it an A+. https://www.pff.com/news/draft-2023-nfl-draft-grades-for-all-32-teams#IND ” Day 1: The Colts stay at Pick 4 and swing for the high ceiling of Anthony Richardson. While Richardson was inconsistent as a passer, he is arguably the most incredible athlete at the quarterback position we have ever seen. He forced 39 missed tackles in 2022. Day 2: Brents is in the group of long, athletic prospects that the Colts have gravitated to on defense over the past several years. There aren’t too many cornerbacks out there at 6-foot-3 with 34-inch arms and a 42-inch vertical. Brents’ production and grading profile don’t overly impress, but he has traits worth betting on here for Indianapolis. Downs was WR5 on both the PFF Big Board and the consensus big board but comes off the board here to Indianapolis as WR12. He is undersized, even for the slot, but he is one of the better underneath separators in this class and wins in contested situations over the middle of the field. Downs hauled in 13-of-18 contested targets for UNC in 2022. Day 3: The Colts need reinforcements along the offensive line and land the 6-foot-8 Freeland, who tested off the charts with 95th percentile or better scores in the vertical jump, broad jump, short shuttle and three-cone. Freeland’s athleticism will be best utilized as a run blocker in space, earning a 90.2 zone blocking grade in 2022, but he will need to improve as a pass protector at the NFL level. One of the more puzzling fallers of the draft after a ton of buzz following a ridiculous combine performance that was truly one of the best we’ve seen, Adebawore needs refinement at the NFL level and can now develop behind a crop of good defensive linemen with the Colts. Adebawore earned an 80.3 pass-rush grade in 2022 but a lot of that production came from pure athletic advantages. He needs to improve his hand usage and counter moves beyond just speed to power. Rush, a former high school quarterback and college wide receiver at the start, is an incredible athlete still learning the nuances of the cornerback position. At 6-foot-2 and 198 pounds, Rush ran a 4.36-second 40-yard dash and earned an 80.3 coverage grade in 2022. When he is in position, he has a knack for making plays on the ball, as well. This is the developmental type prospect you look for on Day 3. Scott graded better in 2021 (81.8) than in 2022 (66.8) but finished strong in his last three games. He’s a versatile and intelligent safety who is capable enough in the slot as well. He’ll add depth to the Colts’ secondary as well as a surefire contributor on special teams. Mallory offers legitimate receiving ability and not much as a blocker. He’ll give C.J. Stroud a threat up the seam and brings legitimate versatility in the slot. He just needs to become passable in the run game. Jones is big, strong and young — a good combination of adjectives for a late-round cornerback. He fits best in a Cover 3 scheme and, fortunately, he lands with Colts defensive coordinator Gus Bradley, who runs more Cover 3 than any other defensive play-caller. Witt is one of the rare prospects who PFF doesn’t have data or grades on, but he came in at 211th overall on our final big board. He’s an athletic tackle — shocking, given Indianapolis’ strategy in this draft — who will be another developmental project for the Colts. DRAFT GRADE: A+”

I got an early draft script of the 2023 season. Start getting excited Colts fans!

Will go down as a top ten draft class of all time. CONSERVATIVELY!

Not watching, can you explain?

wrong. Uncle Rico. Could throw football over mountains

79%. But, those numbers that were released don’t think we’re confirmed and test owner said they weren’t all accurate

Let’s go DJ Turner

Carter looked awful at his pro day. Maybe life stuff impacting him but I’d be skeptical

It’s not hard to find clips of him botching easy throws. Even the clip glosses over he missed an easy one. His percentage rate on the easy ones was concerning. Doesn’t mean he can’t get better, but his percentage is bad for a reason and it isn’t just the fault of others on his team

Top 15 give or take. Your welcome

Late to the convo, but no, a late first is not a premium pick. Pretty sure history shows late first hit rate isn’t all that good. Talent wise pretty sure generally regarded that late firsts are more similar in value as the second round vs being similar in value with the picks preceding them. Huge tier drops early and then a flattening

He must’ve got around to read about his draft stock

Agree I think. Wouldn’t force it and roll the dice. Bears aren’t taking a QB. If someone else wants go berserk let them. When there’s not a clear run away #1 in January, no point paying up. If haven’t differentiated months ago, just not worth that type of move
