Morrison doesn't fit any scheme cause he just sucks all the way around.
There is a system for him to play in, just not this one. He was never going to be great. He can lay a hit down. Just ask Melvin.

I start this process the day after the draft is over. It is hard to believe we are only 13 days away from preparing for the 2019 NFL draft class.
Enjoy!

Morrison does not fit a 4-3, especially this Cover 2 scheme.
-
Probably about a 5% chance.
The Giants, Browns, and Broncos would have to pass.
It could happen if the Giants and Broncos take a quarterback, and the Browns take Chubb.
If the top 3 picks are quarterbacks and the Browns take Chubb, then I am going to really start liking our chances.

History tells us that it’s very likely for over half of our draft picks not to have a visit.
I will never forget Donald Brown’s answer after he was drafted by us. He was asked if the Colts had spoken to him before the draft. He said that he hadn’t talked to them at all, and didn’t even know the Colts were interested in him.
I think the prospects understand the gamesmanship surrounding the draft.

Since Basham was learning on the fly how to play OLB in a 3-4 versus his natural position as a 4-3 end.....I figured I'd pull this back up to refresh some memories!
With Sheard and Basham at either end position this is why you may see Ballard and Co. select the stud linebackers needed for this 4-3 conversion first and draft a couple edge rushers in the mid rounds to develop and/or compete with Sheard and Basham.
This to me is why it makes sense to target Tremaine Edmunds (getting our Urlacher) and a couple other WILLs in the 2nd and beyond. Walker and Grace can compete with the draftees for the backup spots/special teams.
Basham was a beast with his hand in the dirt and Sheards career stats clearly show he's been more productive as a 4-3 end as well....
It’s sound logic.
I would take Nelson over Edmunds, but I would not be upset if we took Edmunds over Chubb.
If we stay at 6 then I can only guess Ballard’s Big Board. Until we see otherwise, I am going to pencil in the following as Ballard Big Board:
1. Barkley
2. Chubb
3. Nelson
4. Edmunds
In reality, it could be the exact opposite. We won’t know until we make a selection and even then we might have an incomplete answer.
For the record, my Big Board of those 4 are:
1. Barkley
2. Nelson
3. Chubb
4. Edmunds

There you have it. He wanted more money from us and we weren’t prime time enough for him. So please, stop with the “Chris Ballard let him walk” narrative. You can’t force a player to sign with your team people, understand that, embrace it, accept it.
I wish him luck, and thanks for the season he had last year. One of the few bright spots during such a gloomy season
Chris Ballard did let him walk and for good reason.
Melvin is a press corner and he doesn’t fit the new scheme.
What’s the old saying, “round pegs in square holes”.

I like Evans but I think he's projected ahead of Leonard at late round 1. I think Sutton goes before 36 too. This is why I prefer a trade down from 6. My mocks all come up a pick or two short by round 3.
But its good to see Ballard talking to Smith and getting all the information he needs. I'd be disappointed if the Colts were ignoring Smith.
All of those guys could fall.
We are probably going to see 6 quarterbacks go in the first round.
We damn near have 3 first round picks this year. Great time for us to be draft rich.

I thought Leonard was reported too small for NFL MIKE, but that's even better if he could play there. Smith at 6 and Leonard for MIKE at 36 or 37 with the other pick a DE or G. Still good options for G and DE at 49 probably.
Just going to throw this out there.
How about Nelson at 6, Connor Williams at 36, Rashann Evans at 37, and Courtland Sutton at 49......
It could happen.

23 minutes ago, DougDew said:
We could go Edmunds at 6, Darius Leonard at 36, and Connor Williams or one of the popular Gs at 37.
There's your MIKE, WILL, and starting G and we haven't even gotten to pick 49 yet.
The only problem I see with that is both Edmunds and Leonard are natural MIKEs. That’s not to say Leonard couldn’t play another position. Edmunds isn’t playing WILL though. If he moves anywhere then it’s on the Edge.
If Connor Williams is there at 36 then we have to pull the trigger, and that’s even if we take Nelson at 6.
I think we will draft Chubb or Nelson at 6.
I also think that at least one of those seconds will be used to draft an off ball linebacker.
-
Just now, DougDew said:
I think the Bears WILL, Lance Briggs, got some benefit from Urlacher at MIKE. But Briggs was pretty good too.
One of the Colts writers said that Ballard wants 3 LBers out of this draft. That's a tall order of you're not going to pick two pretty high. Probably the MIKE and the WILL before round 3.
This draft is loaded with off ball linebackers. Best group I have seen in a decade or so.
It’s perfect timing for us to need them.
That Colts writer is just guessing. But he is guessing the same as most of us are, and he is probably closer to being right than wrong.

That's what I'm getting at, though everyone's going to have a different list of players they'd 'rather have', and none of us know how many QBs will go ahead of us.
If we take him at 6, people are going to moan and groan about how we reached for him, when the fact of the matter is, he's the guy they wanted, with what's left on the board, and felt they could trade back and still get him. That doesn't work if you can't find a trade partner. I really don't see the problem in taking a guy that's projected to go 11 with the 6th pick (or similar).
I think it’s safe to project that 4 quarterbacks are going in the top 10. It’s even likely they will all go in the top 5. Add Barkley to the top 5 too.
It’s extremely possible the Colts draft the first defensive player on the board at 6.
I have said it several times though. If it’s your guy then you don’t chance it. If you believe that strongly in a player then you have to take him.

So, we like the guy, but not at 6.
Where would you pick him then?
Any of you?
It’s not a matter of where I would pick him. It’s a matter of who else is on the board.
I would not take him over Nelson, Chubb, or Edmunds. That would potentially put him somewhere around 10 or 11.

IMO...
WILL linebacker is actually more of a need. We have 4 Gs. Smith is as good a WILL as Nelson is a G.
A 43 WILL is not going to become a top player without a good 43 MIKE.
On the other hand, a good 43 MIKE can make an average 43 WILL look great. Just as he can make a great 43 WILL look elite.
Translation, the guy in the middle has to do the dirty work so the athletic WILL can get all the glory.
Finding a good 43 MIKE in the type of defense we are going to run is not an easy task. Just ask Bill Polian. However, a good 43 WILL is fairly easy to find.

We won’t draft him at 6. If we trade back then absolutely. He is not MIKE either. He is a 43 WILL.
We need a MIKE so Edmunds makes more sense.
