  1. 1) Jordan Phillips NT Oklahoma

    One of my favorite players in the draft, standing at 6'6" 334 lbs he can plug the middle and help our defense, run and pass, from day 1. He is very strong at the point of attack and hold his ground in the middle. When he puts everything he has into it he can drive anyone back one on one and collapse the pocket. He will get fatigue late, although he does have good stamina for a big man, but he will make plays on the ball (tips and swats) when he does sit back. He has great length at 6'6" and will take on his man and get a hold of the ball carrier often. I like his play more than Danny Shelton except he isn't as consistent but he was a redshirt sophomore. 

     

     

    2) Tevin Coleman HB Indiana (Trade Up, give up our 2nd, 6th of this year, and a 4th of next year to move up to get him)

    The most complete back in the draft. Underrated speed and great power when he squares up. Willing blocker and will put his body on the line all game and take a beating. Similar to Melvin Gordon when it comes to acceleration and break away speed in the open field. Seems to have good balance. Proven pass catcher unlike Gordon although I believe Gordon can as well. Excellent production although supporting cast isn't great. Can't wait to see what he can do with good talent around him.

     

     

    3) Jake FIsher OT Oregon

    Love Jake Fisher, he's everything you want from an offensive lineman. Team player and versatile can play on the right or left and bet he can play guard but I would keep him at tackle as the replacement for Cherilus. He has good footwork and can anchor well, good with his hands. Needs to get stronger and a year behind Cherilus and in the weight room will do wonders. Needs to improve strength and tends to put his head in the chest of stronger rushers which needs to stop. Has some nastiness to him.

     

     

    4) Stephone Anthony LB Clemson

    Underrated player at Clemson, can develop into a great 3 down linebacker with proper coaching. Great sideline to sideline speed. Good at run, good at pass, not great at anything at this point. Colts have talked to him already at the senior bowl.

    5) JaCorey Sheppard CB Kansas

    Favorite corner in the draft. Completely under the radar, he was a playmaker at Kansas. Excels in man coverage and good at press. Great ball skills, reminds me of Xavier Rhodes in college with the ball in air without Rhodes length (not a bad thing though. He's 5'11") I think it would be great for the Colts to get him and let him play dime his rookie year and then cut Toler and let Sheppard take his spot. I like Toler but he gets picked on and exposed often and wayyyy to many illegal touching penalties. Willing tackler, reminds me of Vontae, he will make plays in the box.

    6) Josh Shaw CB/S USC

    Didn't have a great senior bowl, he insists on trying to be a corner. I like him at safety that can come down in the dime situations. Good developmental player that could play special teams.

    7) Michael Dyer RB Louisville

    A player to take a flier on, good production all the way back to his Auburn, Cam Newton days. Character is his question. Risk/Reward pick here.

  2. An interesting part of the draft for me is to see if it seems dramatically different then the past two because Irsay isn't there. Will we see that Grigson has some different beliefs in the draft or that Irsay didn't play a GIGANTIC factor in the pick selection.

  3. I would go a step farther, I'd say bottom half of the conference. Make it that much harder on the browns.

    was literally just thinking that lol, also future idea lol if the player we want is in the NFC and is a pro bowl player put a clause for extravagant amount of money if player makes nfc pro bowl team. But yeah, don't see them beating out Bengals or Ravens

  4. All they would need to do is agree with Mack ahead of time that he would restructure after the 1st yr. of the contract. Put a clause in the contract that he wouldn't agree to a re-structure for any other team than Indy. I think they might be able to get by with that and cleveland wouldn't have a choice but to let him go.

    I'm pretty sure "can't agree to restructure with anyone but Indy" would be shutdown real quick by the poison pill clause.

  5. We don't need to trade anything for him lol, let's poison pill without "technically" poison pilling. Give him the regular contract we want to give him with an incentive of a 15 million dollar bonus year one if the team doesn't make the playoffs. Browns will cower at the risk of a near 25 million dollar hit lol. Not a poison pill because the Browns can match but definitely won't knowing darn well they aren't making the playoffs, especially in that division.

  6. The Colts have way too many holes to do each one justice and have success.  They should cut their losses and accept that it isn't going to happen and we as fans need to be okay with another rebuilding year.  There's no way they are putting together a complete team this year but it isn't too late to make great strides in the right direction. They still have a good team just not a tier one team that can compete for a championship.

  7. I see a lot of talk about offering a HUGE cap hit in year one -OR- offering a HUGE one year contract that the Browns would have to match if they want to keep him.

     

    Correct me if I am wrong but, the Browns "matching" any deal that another team offers does not mean that the contract has to be the EXACT same for the Browns to actually "match" the offer. 

     

    What I am getting at is this... just because a team might offer a HUGE one year contract does not mean that if the Browns "matching" contract has to be for one year as well. Correct?

     

    The Browns could "match" the terms of the contract and add in a couple more years if they would like to protect their investment. Am I correct?

     

    I am not trying to burst anyone's bubble here... just trying to keep these conversations as real as possible.

     

    I would like to believe that we could put the Browns on the hook for a HUGE one year contract and have another shot next year but, there are problems with that... that plan of actions says to me that A) Luck will not get the protection he deserves NOW and B) We would be paying out the wahzoo even more next year for the same player who is just another year older and falling off the wagon a bit faster.

     

    This does not sound like a valuable way to do business in the NFL. If this is REALLY what some Colts fans want... then what they are asking for is a slow bleeding death to an otherwise promising era of Colts players.

    If a team offered a huge one year deal and the Browns matched it they couldn't add more years to the contract, no. Whatever deal they match is the exact contract they have to sign him to.
