I didnt gain much from the video
I am sure it will make sense after the draft is completed

He is a pretty good returner as well like t.y. Hilton 2.0 because he is faster than hilton
Maybe
Hilton had a bit more muscle on shorter frame
I just see Worthy as medical tent dweller.........

Unless they draft both brian thomas and worthy
I am with you on Brian Thomas, he would be a great pickup.
HE scares the DCs that we would face
Someone will take Worthy in late round 1 or early 2
(I hope its not us)

I was thinking a bit about what Ballard said in that clip from "Behind the Colts", about "he's not going to get much bigger". No idea if he was talking about Worthy... but if he is... he's right. Whether Worthy ends up playing at 165 or 176... this is still extremely small and light. Whether he's in the 1st percentile or 5th percentile of athlete's in weight in the league, this doesn't change the type of player and type of worries you would have about him with any significance. So... in a way, I kind of find that conversation a bit pointless. IMO the question should be - okay. he is small... and he will always be small. Can we work with that? And can we live with the risk of injury for that small of a player? And the answer can be no here... I'm not saying we necessarily need to take that risk.
You wonder how many NFL hits the guy can take
I think he is an extreme liability when we run the ball as well
Brian Thomas or Latu with 15th for me

DeJean IMO is fast-...ish and explosive-...ish but IMO he looks stiff on tape. That's not to say Ballard wouldn't like him. I think he fits a lot of the things Ballard likes in his corners... except for the arm length...
I didnt see his arm length
Is he a Trex?

I see DeJean differently. He could survive in our zone, I guess. But I was previously talking about boundary corners who have the speed to keep up with dynamic downfield receivers in the NFL. You say DeJean has good speed; do you think he has that kind of speed??
Where I think he'd be best in our defense is SS/nickel, and because I view him that way, I think the value on him is in Day 2. JMO. I know a lot of people like him way more than I do.
He was the 100m champion in Iowa
He ran a 4.43 forty a week after being cleared to run at his pro day.
He said that he thought he could do faster with more time
Are there faster CBs? Sure
But imho he is the best tackler in the group

No doubt he's thin, and not a great tackler. The question is whether his speed and playmaking ability makes up for his deficient size/tackling. If you want a boundary corner who can run stride for stride with big time receivers, he's up there on the list. I don't think I'd draft him in the first round, though.
Mitchell is good. I see DeJean as a safety/nickel, not a boundary corner, especially not one who can run with the best receivers.
Respectfully
I agree on Mitchell
But
I believe DeJean is a great candidate for a boundary role in a ZONE that the Colts play the vast Majority of the time
He is a great tackler and has good speed
He would shine in our zone IMHO

First up: There’s been some concerning reports regarding A.D. Mitchell’s attitude as it relates to his diabetes
Notable people (including Steve Smith Sr.) have also noted that he appears to give up on his routes or not even try and sell them when he’s not actually getting the ball.
I saw that........
I was hoping that we could trade back and still pick him up
If he is a nutcase..... I dont want him

I know but I have a feeling we will soon.
I hope we use the new "freed up" cap money and sign Simmons
We need playmaker FS behind the young CBs that are on the field

Idk worthy has game changing speed.
You are right, BUT
Worthy will need to block when he is on the field and not getting the ball
At 165Lbs........ How in the world is he going to move anyone
I HOPE they DONT go with him
John Ross has amazing speed, and until this year was the fastest of all time
He was picked 9th...... he didnt work out, even though he was a blazer

What do you think about Nate Wiggins?
I will jump in, but IMHO........................Nate Wiggins is a VERY THIN CB
If we stay in the Zone world, I am not sure that Wiggins can play the run and tackle the big WRs
If we go CB in round 1 (Id rather have a DE/WR) My choice is DeJean or Mitchell

We have TWO top 10 tackles in Raimann and Smith though? We need depth, sure, but I hope we’re not looking for depth in the 1st round…
It wouldn’t surprise me if they took a C / G in round 3-5
Our RG spot is decent but not a star
Our C spot has an awesome player that has 2-3 years left
-
I was thinking that we would trade back to 20s and take AD Mitchell
it is the lying season but people are starting to say he is a head case.
Brian Thomas or Latu at 15 -

I’m wondering if clearing room for a trade up perhaps. Or a trade for an established player.
Me too
We can now afford Simmons and maybe another lower tier FA
IMHO, there is no clear reason to do this, if you werent planning moves

So Chicago is going to draft Wlliams and then give up a chance to draft Nabors so the Colts can?
I am also a skeptic
Would love to have the kid on the Colts, but I dont think the Bears will allow themselves to be fleeced
I dont see it

Today, NFL.com writer Schrager projects Colts move six slots up in a trade with Chicago, and selects LSU's Nabers.
The Cost - a future 2nd.

It’s looking like he’ll stay on the team but might get a 2-4 game suspension that’s my prediction.
I hope he can just play, no suspension

The more and more I think about it, I tend to agree with you. I think this is the year he moves up to get a guy. This team has been without a franchise DE for 7 years. U saw what Houston did last year to get their franchise qb and DE all in one year. They traded up to get Anderson at 3. Ballard talks about Richardson and how he expects him to elevate the offense and allow for more explosive plays. You have Richardson, an elite running back, a number 2 wr (Pittman), Downs is emerging and Pierce is the unknown but i expect that he may have a coming out party this year with Richardson's ability to throw. Ballard has draft a lot of athletic TE's who have not been able to reach their upside because of injury, personal issues and/or overall qb play. I truly believe we have to give the skill players on offense one more year under Richardson to see what we have. Now to the defense. We have no franchise DE. We have Paye who's 5th option should not be picked up. He has been underwhelming and he is a LDE at best. Buckner is Buckner but has maybe 2 more years of elite play in him. They dont have that guy on the end to put constant pressure on the qb and make this defense work. The saftey play is average at best. Cross has not shown the coaching staff anything over the last 2 years. Blackmon is average and that was clear in the Colts offering him a one year deal. He was basically signed because they lack depth at safety. Brents came with a lot of fan fare but cannot stay healthy and the other corners are late round picks who i have little faith in over a 17 game schedule even though Ballard appears to love them. I would actually draft defense with my 1st 2 picks. I was shocked that they kept Bradley as I fully expected them to move on in another direction. My keeping Bradley it showed me two things. They are committed to this scheme and acknowledge to Gus that they did not support him by providing him with enough play makers. I expect the Colts to address the D early and often in this draft. I just don't see them pulling the trigger on a TE and/or WR at 15. I really hope this is the year where they finally move up to get one of the DE's and lay the foundation for this D much like they did last year in drafting Richardson. Drafting a wr is the sexy choice, and I get it that we should surround the qb with weapons. The thing is that we may actually have some weapons on the roster and all it needs is for Richardson to play and we will see guys like Pierce and the TE's flourish. We don't address the DE, corner and/or safety position early and expect us to really struggle on defense this year. This draft reminds me of the Nelson pick. We struggle for years to protect Luck and they drafted a generational guard to put up a wall. A guard at #6 was a lot for a guard, but their was pressure to protect the franchise qb and the organization had seen enough. I sense the same urgency with the DE position. It is time to go big game hunting!!
I agree with the concept, but until Richardson is a complete proven entity, I would not give up next year's 1st
under any conditions
Dallas Turner MIGHT be that guy to trade up for........ But he might just fall to us at 15
He would be a PR specialist until he added some NFL muscle

Deficiencies on D? Give me a break. This defense is more than good enough in an offensive league to win games. Defense was not the Colts problem last year.
Respectfully, per the stats, our defense was bottom 5.
(IMHO) We need significant help on defense

I'm actually leaning towards Ballard going EDGE in the first round more and more now. Besides Marshawn Kneeland, there doesn't seem to be any top EDGE rushers outside the first round. I could see Ballard going Latu or Verse at 15. Then he grabs a WR and CB in either order in the 2nd and 3rd round.
I am with you,
I would be happy with best DL at 15, but also happy with WR / CB

It feels like it’s Dejavu time for the 49er’s and Colts right now. The 49er’s issue with Aiyuk and Samuels reminds me of their situation four years ago with Buckner and Armstead. They traded Buckner to the Colts for pick 13 to solve it. I wonder if Ballard would be tempted to call and see if a trade for Aiyuk could work out for both teams again. He’s set to play on the 5th year option so his extension could wait for a year. I know he wants the extension but he might just have to play on the option this year no matter where he ends up if he is traded. If the Colts are really considering moving up for Nabors trading for Aiyuk would undoubtedly cost less. I know the rookie contract is cheaper but Aiyuk is a proven NFL playmaker. Interesting option none the less.
Aiyuk is awesome, but I am wondering if we would have so much of our cash tied to one position (WR)

Considering it seems like Wayne was the guy who was all in on Downs last year, I would play close attention to the pro days that he goes to.
There is a wide wide range of views on Franklin
I think he should be a consideration at 46 (If we go DL or DB in round 1)

Worthy is interesting because if we assume we’re not trading up for one of the big 3 receivers, then he’s the only other WR outside of BTJ that’s a day 1 field stretcher, which I think is what we’re looking for. Theres Tez Walker, but he’s a 3rd round guy and really raw.
I am not as high on Worthy as others
This offense needs a deep threat that is on the field during our offense running the ball.
A common saying in college is that you won’t get the rock unless you can block
Worthy is a so thin he is a liability when we would run the ball

With the Next Pick drops Tonight!
in Colts Football
Posted
Maybe
Byron Murphy / J Newton are BOTH fantastic talents
Not my first choice , but I would be happy with EITHER if they chose one
This board would need an ambulance if we went OL at 15
If we trade back to 25, JP Johnson is a REAL solid option as well
My first choice is still to take a DE / WR in round 1, but I wouldnt be surprised if we go another way
