From my fan perspective I think we need to get in this draft WR1 Play making Free safety LB

I was thinking the exact same thing Very impressed

I hope that we rotate some of the guys who did well into the game and not just see Moss 100%

Some great picks on here, thanks for putting the time in this. A few thoughts Trotter has the build for a MLB, and would not seem to have the needed height to play WSLB Awesome player though, If you believe the "experts" he should be there in round 2 If Jared Verse is there he would seem to be a good rotational piece at DE, Brian Thomas is going to rise up boards and could fit that needed separation WR1 that this team needs Sweat has been amazing but it used in 0 and 1 technique. He seems to be the perfect 3-4 NT, but they would need to run the guy through the agility process to see if he could be effective in a interior 4-3 lineman. He seems mobile for his size, and is immovable by double team. He would probably be an early down guy. Corely is an amazing talent but I like our current slot WR. I love Hicks as the needed FS that this team is lacking I am glad you addressed Guard, as we need to keep adding Again, thanks for doing..... my opinion is just that.... not worth a nickle

I may be in a minority here I absolutely want the Colts to get into the playoffs and SB this year But I am not worrying about it....... what happens, happens..... of course, we cant control what other teams do. Famous AL quote - Just Win Baby I was HOPING that this team MIGHT make it to 7 wins - Wow.... very encouraged I feel like we are playing with house money at this stage This team needs to stretch in my opinion to do something in the playoffs Just think next year..... if we fill a gap or two in FA or draft, AND our QB can develop (And stay healthy) WE Could be the team to beat in the AFC

I hope Cross continues to get better ..... Maybe we end up with WR, CB, LB and rotational pass rush DE in this draft, and we go BPA when we draft from this group

Agreed But We just need to win the last 3 games against teams that we SHOULD beat 11 wins gives us a spot, no matter what happened in the past The one head scratcher is the Raiders They clobbered the Chargers and scored 63 BUT...... the 6 games prior, they averaged just 14 points per game Which Raider team are we going to face? The 63 point offense or the 14 point offense? We can beat the Texans and the Falcons As well the Raiders I don't see this team matching firepower of the Dolphins, so I hope we get Jags, Bengals, or Browns first in playoffs

I am absolutely in the same boat..... I was hoping for 7-8 wins

Very impressed with the win. Being down by 2 touchdowns and then turning it on shows the tough, never quit mentality of this team We have the coach of the year (I hope) in our employ This defense looks so much better with Speed on the field We may be facing Cincy again in playoffs, having Brents (He looked a bit rusty yesterday, but first game back) and Speed on the field should stop the forever yards on the screen This team can compete Tempered optimism, from this old Texan !!

Another week, another simulator draft(This may be my favorite) I accepted trades Possible 4 new starters

Trey Taylor Video Looks good

I think you are right In the preseason, he was doing well with screens Its a shame that he is hurt

I would agree with that We dont seem to use Taylor in that manner this year. We have Evan Hull, who seemed very good in that role in the preseason

I need to research Trey Taylor I may be in a minority but I think between Blackmon and Cross we have the SS role covered Have you watched James Williams tape? He is 6-5 and can run I would LOVE to have him start at FS for us next year

Thanks for putting this together Always good to read thru these Cooper Dejean seems like a Ballard pick Team captain, aww shucks midwestern kid that has size and speed. Can play anywhere in the backfield I LIKE the fact that you are addressing the FS position. Its high time we had a playmaker back there 2 things I would gently question I'm not sure about Byron Murphy for the Colts. He would seem to scream 3-4 NT. I would like to get a true WR1 in the draft. We will have to pay Pittman 20M per year. Having the other WR come in at a FA $$ would seem to be too much for the position. This would seem to be the year to get a WR1 in the draft Again..... Thanks for submitting

I dont disagree Cooper Dejean "seems" like a Ballard sort of guy. "Cool-aid" is an amazing player as well. Dejean can play all over the defensive backfield. He may actually turn out to be a pro bowl Free Safety I can see a value from stepping up the CB room, but would wonder if the true shut-down corner might be wasted in this defense. Many teams invest in top tier shut down CB, then they offer more blitzs. We blitz very little. A CB that is fast enough and can tackle is valuable to play zone and support the run to their side when needed This defense stays in zone more than most teams. with zone, a play making free free safety position is so very important on this defense, and my hope is that we invest this year in round 2-4 If Jared Verse or Jer'han slid to us, it would be hard for me to pass on them as they both bring MUCH needed pressure. The WR group is long and talented If we go defense in round one, my hope is that we move up in round 2, to get a WR (Just like they did with JT)

15 yard penalty!! If there is a a cant miss player of need at 21, you have to take him. Some excellent folks on the DL or CB may slide to our slot) If this happens.... we STILL desperately need the WR, which could be had early in round 2 (Maybe not late) THATS what I meant by trading up This is supposedly one of the deepest WR classes in awhile

Cooper DeJean seems like a Ballard kind of guy

Chad if you read thru the posts, I spoke about trading back in round 1 (Especially if we pick at 15) AND If we have to, IF we go non WR in round 1, we MAY need to trade UP in round 2 to get the WR we need JUST like we did to get JT Not sure why thats funny......

Many folks (Maybe most) want a WR first We need a WR, but we could take a DL with pick 1 (If they slide to us) One of these may slide to us Latu, Verse, Newton and trade up to get one of the WR1s in early round 2 One of these guys should be available then - Leggett, Brian Thomas, AD Mitchell, Egbuka, Worthy, Franklin

I like it The big stat on Zer'han is pressures, where he is one of the leaders in NCAA Sack is best, but pressures cause turnovers and ends drives. Interior pressure is tough on the QB In my opinion. on early downs, he would line up at one of the DE spots (LDE probably) He did this at Illinois He would move inside on passing downs next to Buckner I love the Leggett pick..... He is said to run a 4.35 40..... That would actually Pittman better, as they HAVE to watch Leggett This week, we faced an 8 man box on almost every play. When we didnt, we could run the ball A guy like Leggett would stop the 8 man box almost immediately The ONLY thing I would change is to get the best Free safety available, ve taking the RB

Pick 21 Draft 4 Starters ?

I wouldnt say that ALL of our back 7 are bad We had one LB on the field yesterday that could actually play Our CBs were getting mauled by the WRs of the Bengals (This is ANOTHER example of WHY we need a WR1 as Well as Pittman) We NEED a playmaking FS that is not on this team today..... We NEED an OLB that can make a tackle. - Missing Speed KILLED this defense.... In the offseason, we need to replace SHAQ The WEAK OL from the Bengals stopped our DL with ease We did NOT generate pass rush Maybe its time that we BUY a DE in FA We have our QB and LT on contract...... And lastly If you see the defense in an 8 man box...... why run the ball? - Time to Audible JT would have been able to bounce a few of those outside, but of course he didnt play I like the gutsyness of our QB, but will be happy when AR5 is back

I think we need an OLB Trotter is great but play MLB

The guy is a stud.
