Here's another one without trades for the sake of reality. I also avoided drafting anyone I did in my first attempt.
Round 2 Pick 28: Donte Moncrief, WR, Ole Miss
Round 3 Pick 28: Aaron Donald, DT, Pittsburgh
Round 5 Pick 28: Bene Benwikere, CB, San Jose State
Round 6 Pick 28: DeDe Lattimore, ILB, South Florida
Round 7 Pick 10: Billy Turner, OT, North Dakota State -
Ok, I think this draft game site was addressed last year and we all know it's flaws, but its fun regardless. It seems that trading back is far too easy so I got carried away with acquiring picks. Here are the results:
Round 3 Pick 4 (CLE): Brandon Coleman, WR, Rutgers (A-)
Round 4 Pick 2 (JAX): DaQuan Jones, DT, Penn State (A)
Round 4 Pick 10 (JAX): Andrew Jackson, ILB, Western Kentucky (B+)
Round 4 Pick 28 (CLE): Andre Hal, CB, Vanderbilt (A)
Round 5 Pick 3 (MINN): Boseko Lokombo, OLB, Oregon (B+)
Round 5 Pick 10 (JAX): Cornelius Lucas, OT, Kansas State (B+)
Round 5 Pick 28: Cody Hoffman, WR, Brigham Young (A)
Round 6 Pick 28: Alfred Blue, RB, LSU (B-)
Round 7 Pick 3 (MINN): A.J. McCarron, QB, Alabama (A)Round 7 Pick 10: Chris Boswell, K, Rice (B)
Now that I look at it, barely any of the picks were the Colts original slots so I'm not deeming this realistic in the slightest. If you want to try it too, here's the link: http://first-pick.com/NFL/DraftGame.aspx

Is this really true? I mean, cause if it is, then he is the like the epitome of cool lol.
-
Keep in mind that David Reed didn't practice again today and Jalil Brown, William Powell, and Mike Edwards all have experience returning kicks.
-
Micah Pellerin, a guy in the draft that I wanted, he could play both CB and Free Safety in college, those kind of guys I dig. He was released by the Cowboys.
We had Micah Pellerin for awhile last year in training camp. Then spent time with the Packers before he was cut again.
-
I want Chris Harper. Wanted him since round 3 of the draft. I like him a lot.
-
I thought Howell and Asante both played well, but am almost certain that not both of them will make the 53. I really like our depth at safety. Also, Mario Harvey proved himself, which I think is a driving factor for Conner turning into trade bait.
-
I would say the odds of him being the designated IR player to return would be around zilch. You agree?
Don't see why. specially if we keep only 4 OLBs. We used it on Seth "Turnstyle" Olsen last year
-
They have to designate the player that can come off the DL. Other words a team can't just activate one of the players they place on IR at a later date.
Yes. They could designate Sidbury.
-
Don't forget that 1 player from IR can be activated per year. Maybe the shoulder injury will keep him out right about that length of time and this will save the Colts a roster spot while making the difficult final cut decisions.
-
5'11" 180, played 2011 at Arkansas-Monticello and last year for the San Antonio Talons of the AFL. Colts are doing a lot of digging at WR with Jones and now Stephens.
-
I know cutting the roster down to 53 is tough as it is and we all have our favorites, but here's one more person to root for. Teddy did a nice job on punt coverages last year, along with Sergio Brown, being the first ones out there. I stumbled across this video and it was entertaining to watch. He's a high character guy.
-
Does anybody know what the orange and green helmet covers signify?
They wear those when they are running drills where offensive players are standing in as defenders. Helps differentiate the players on different sides of the ball.

Spiderman - Peter Parker- Preston Parker

I'm probably biased seeing as he and Josh Chapman are the only 2 Colts I've ever met. Practice squad players can be snatched up at a moments notice and I guess I'm just wary of taking the risk if we can't fit him on the 53-man roster.
Plus I find "Hasselbeck Holds Down the Fort" much less interesting than "Mr. Irrelevant becomes Mr. Relevant"

The only thing with Yates.... he was 3rd string and not 2nd. And he wasn't needed until very late in the season. No time to bring in someone else at that point. 1st and 2nd string went down.
People here in favor of Harnisch as the back-up are jumping him from 3rd string to 2nd string based only on (A) pre-season games, and (B) coming in late against 3rd string competition.
I'm sorry, but I don't think it's enough to judge his ability.
I'm not ruling the kid out as a back-up in the long-term... only the short-term.... likely, this year. He needs more time, and the Colts need a more sure thing as a back-up.
I completely get from you're coming from and I respect your pinion on this, because there are undoubtedly perks that come with having a proven backup.
I suppose I'm just more excited for emergence than I am scared of failure. I like the risk, and I like the excitement.
-
In a million years, Chanlder Harnisch is never going to push Andrew Luck.
Andrew is not going to be made better because he's pushing himself to make sure he holds on to his job because of the talent that Harnisch brings. Sorry, but that's not the case.
A year or two from now, Harnisch maybe able to step in for Luck for a game if two, if Andrew gets hurt and play well and maybe even win a game. But he's not ready to do that now.
That's why the need for a quality back-up. We're a play-off caliber team. We need a back-up that can come in and win games. Hasselback can do that. Harnisch can't. At least, not yet.
To be fair, Hasselbeck isn't going to push him either.
And how do we know he can't step in and win games if we haven't seen him step in. What I do know is that if (heaven forbid) Luck goes down for a couple of games, I would be excited to see Harnish jump into the spotlight, eager to shine and with Hasselbeck, I probably wouldn't be as into the game. We know what Hasselbeck can do. He's 37. He's not going to prove anything to us. His potential is capped and reached while Harnish could be ready to spring out of his box.
-
I'm not necessarily against bringing in proven players like Hasselbeck to take certain roles on the team, but I suppose I just generally don't like the idea of anyone signing with the team to settle in as a backup quarterback and not look for more than that. I understand that this is Andrew Luck we're talking about and it would take something outlandish to dethrone him as our starter, but I like the idea of having a young unproven guy like Harnish behind him, pushing him, and if he ever got the chance to play, would feel a sense of urgency and play with the fire to prove himself to the Colts or potential future suitors. As ironic as it sounds, I don't feel comfortable with trying to be comfortable. We played with a fire under our feet all year last year with unproven guys like Darius Butler playing with intensity. It's what made the team so exciting to watch last year, not to mention helping us rack up enough wins to have one of the most dramatic turnarounds in NFL history. I'm excited to see signings like Erik Walden and Donald Thomas, so they can play to silence any doubters and show they belong. I want to see that from everyone on the team, always creating competition and innovation in the game. I don't want our team to lose that.

I didn't see him under FA or Active Contracts. And He's not on the roster list that's pinned to this forum
-
Thanks for the help. I don't think there will be an effort to re-sign him. What's the status of A.Q. Shipley?
-
how long did it take u to come up with this?
Like the past hour, the main thread was slowing down so I got bored. I should be in bed, but who can sleep with the rumors flying. To set things straight: I seriously hope it isn't Miles Austin
-
that was brilliant
The Austin Liquor store 3 miles from Irsay's birthplace spooked me a bit
-
So our DL includes: Chapman, McKinney, Tevaseu, Redding, Jean-Francois, Mathews, Nevis, Moala, Geathers, Guy, & Heard?
-
Is he under contract for this upcoming season? I must have missed it somehow if he is, but I thought he was scheduled to be a free agent.
I can't help but laugh at this...
