    Colts trade out of first round

    I was thinking the same thing. If there's one thing the Colts need, it's pass rush. And here you have a player whose pre-draft measurables were off the charts, who shined at the Senior Bowl, who put up good stats in the regular college football season, and who fits the mold to-a-tee of what you're looking for in a 4-3 defensive end, and yet you pass on him?

     

    There's a point at which 'more' (picks) isn't always better. Quality matters too. I understand it's a crap shoot when it comes to drafting any player, even high first-rounders. But the same is true of second-rounders. So all things equal, why not take a chance on a defensive end who's arguably the very embodiment of what you're looking for in a 4-3 defense predicated on speed and athleticism?

    Supposedly Mortenson was told by A&M coaches that you can’t even yell at Sweat. Now I’m not for berating a guy but if a player can’t handle getting yelled and check his emotions then I want nothing to do with him. Was a tweet from Greg Doyle last night for what it’s worth.

    I'm not sure speed is high on the priority list for our system. Both Quincy and Desir are below average speed-wise. IMO a player to add to your collection is JoeJuan Williams. He hits a lot of the zone corner criteria in Tampa 2... 

     

    Some other names:

    JoeJuan Williams

    Kris Boyd

    Michael Jackson

    Iman Marshall

    Alijah Holder

     

    Some of those are potential later round picks. 

     

    I like Joejuan Williams a lot 

    Why draft another Edge Rusher?

    I don't care whether they take Edge, DT, CB, or S as long as it's BPA and not a WR. I made a post this morning about it, there's gonna be so many WRs that are gonna slip into the 2nd and even 3rd rounds because of the depth of defensive talent and teams reaching for QBs. I'd like to have as many picks as possible, but if it meant sending our later 2nd rounder to move up and take a true stud along the D-line, I'd be okay with that. I'd love to have Oliver, Simmons, or Gary if we could get into position, because those guys are all likely top-15 picks. 

    I think one of the better WR prospects will be there with our first 2nd round pick. But I can also see a coveted DT, CB, or safety will n that spot. Things will start becoming more clear in the coming months.

    I hope to not lose Desir but his play may start a bidding war.  Verrett is a perfect corner for our style of defense if he can stay healthy.  Williams and Funchess are both on my radar as well.  Im hoping somehow a better edge rusher doesn't get tagged but Fowler may end up being the best one to hit the market.

    I'll be watching the Pats game very closely to see how they handle Kelce. I don't think they'll allow Kelce to work as freely as we did, but I get the feeling they'll give up a deep pass or two, and we didn't (almost, the one to Hill was close). 

    Kelce is the key imo with their passing game. Hill May hit more big plays but Kelce keeps the chains moving and opens up the deep ball for Hill on the outside but eating up the middle of the field. BB will figure something out as usual.

    Pass Rush is a definite need. Eberflus manufactured a lot with the stunts and twists but it takes time and opens running lanes at times. All the FA pass rushers on the line will most likely be tagged and won’t hit FA. Hopefully one of the talented UT will be their in the first and Ballard can find more help later on. I like Geathers at SS but he can’t stay healthy, Landon Collins could hit FA but also sounds like he could be tagged. Another WR is also a big need but I don’t see a lot in FA.

     

    The Colts made big strides this season which I think was a year earlier than expected. A handful of moves this offseason and they will be back in the playoffs and better next season.
