[McShay/Kiper Mock Draft]

It's like picking March Madness brackets...  It makes EVERYONE look foolish (but this draft more than others)...

[McShay/Kiper Mock Draft]

I see that they had us getting Shane Ray in the first and Donovan Smith in the second, but who did they have us nabbing in the third?  Wasn't this a three-round mock?

[Which animals would be best suited to play any given position?]

Pelican at RB (can fly and will never fumble)

 

Here's my coach (an Emperor Tamarin):

[Bill Simmons RIPS Ryan Grigson]

Should I know who Bill Simmons is?

[Dustin's Final Round 1 Mock Draft]

Kendricks over Goldman?  Please no!

[Colts 2015-2016 Reg. Season schedule]

Also, we only play one team coming off a bye week. It happens to be the Falcons who we are playing after we BOTH have bye weeks! That makes games interesting!

[Dr. T's Annual Draft Contest]

I figured I'd update my list:

 

Round One:

Eddie Goldman, NT Florida State

T.J. Clemmings, OT Pitt

Marcus Peters, CB Washington

 

Round Two:

Jay Ajayi, RB Boise State

Quentin Rollins, CB Miami

 

Round Three:

Lorenzo Mauldin, OLB Louisville

Hayes Pullard, ILB USC

 

Round Four:

Clayton Geathers, FS Central Florida

Rob Havenstein, OT Wisconsin

 

Round Five:

Corey Robinson, OT South Carolina

Matt Jones, RB Florida

 

Round Six:

Louis Trinca-Pasat, DT Iowa

Terry Williams, NT East Carolina

Justin Coleman, CB Tennessee

Joey Mbu, DT Houston

 

Round Seven:

Tyrus Thompson, OT Oklahoma

Tevin McDonald, FS Eastern Washington

Chris Hackett, FS TCU

Sam Carter, SS TCU

[Dustin's Final Top 64 Players]

I seem to agree with a lot of what you threw up there, but I strongly disagree with your rankings regarding defensive tackles (both positional rankings and overall rankings).

[Ajayi's knee a huge concern. Could tank his draft stock.]

I assumed he thought Crockett was 170lbs....Obviously Crockett isn't....he however is built a bit like Donald Brown, Not much fat on him, He is thin in the lower body

 

That makes sense.  I think Crockett is built like Sproles or Woodhead.  He's definitely not out of Oregon State, though (North Dakota State I think).  NCF's rambling was starting to confuse me.  Did you anger him in a recent post?

 

Crocketts not bad.  I wouldn't put him above Coleman or Ajayi; but it's not something that you would "lose credibility" over.  We all have favorites (Ajayi happens to be my favorite RB, and Hayes Pullard is my favorite prospect).

[Ajayi's knee a huge concern. Could tank his draft stock.]

1.Gurley

2.Gordon

3.Abdullah

4.Duke

5.Crockett

 

Definitly not unreasonable

 

Completely reasonable.  Who is the 5'7" 170 lbs. back that NCF keeps ranting about?  Everyone on your list is well above 200 lbs.

[Ajayi's knee a huge concern. Could tank his draft stock.]

I'd still take him if he falls to our second.  Grigson doesn't seem to shy away from people with injury history (Bradshaw, Landry, Holmes, Chapman).

[SB Nation has a "Consensus" Mock....]

I like how you did a small write-up on the percentages (which I agree is easy math), but you forgot to mention that it has the Colts selecting Eddie Goldman.

[Kipers 3-Round Colts Mock Draft.]

who else was available for the Hunter pick?

[Any thoughts about a #3/practice squad QB?]

I'm pretty sure Patty Mac was listed as our #3 (emergency) QB. I'm sure we'll find one for the practice squad, but this is a very low priority. I bet we get one to simulate a certain QB style in practices, but I doubt he'll be anything more than a one-year rental.

[2 questions....]

Cribbs needs to learn to wave his arm above his head. This should be our new special teams coach:

[Clayton Geathers will be best Safety in 2015 class]

I highly doubt that any safety we draft starts this year.

Because we're so loaded with talent at the position?

[Players most likely to fall on draft day?]

I'm counting on all running backs to fall a round or two past what they're graded.  I think Gurley will be the only one taken in the first round (number 27 to the Cowboys).

[LB Shaq Thompson set to visit Colts]

Not every LB/SS hybrid is going to be the next Kam.  Look at Taylor Mays.  He had better measurables than Shaq or Kam, but he's been fairly bad his entire NFL career.

 

If we took Shaq, we would look for him to gain ten pounds or so and play ILB.  It wouldn't be worth our first-round pick; but, if he slid to our second, I wouldn't mind the pick.

[How would you feel on drafting Gurley?]

We drafted Werner because of need and look where that got us. I think we are ata point where we can go BPA as long as we can adequately fit him in our scheme.

 

Actually, Werner is probably the only BPA pick in Grigson's history (other than MAYBE Dwayne Allen and Josh Chapman (and Luck does not count!)).  They have mentioned multiple times (and yes, I believe them) that they were not expecting Werner to be available.  Grigson's drafts are FULL of players targeted.

[How would you feel on drafting Gurley?]

Surprise would be my main feeling.  Surprise that he lasted that long, and surprise that we grabbed him.

 

I am hoping that Dallas takes him with their first-round pick (preventing them from taking a defensive player).

[Clayton Geathers will be best Safety in 2015 class]

Why do we want to take 2 S's in what has been described as a very poor draft for S's? We have other needs and there is a lot of talent at positions that we need help at like CB, LB, DL. RB, WR, OL.

 

I am for taking the BPA if that happens to be a S twice then I guess it is what it is. I just have a hard time seeing that happening. We need playmakers and talent. It is not wise to draft out need IMO.

 

Because we need both depth and starting talent at safety (less so after the Lowery signing, but still).  Even after we draft one safety, I would still have another safety as a higher need than WR, ILB, OLB, and CB.  I want to draft one safety that will start this year and one that will grow into a good starter for next year.

 

Safeties are also typically good at special teams.

 

And I don't think this draft is poor for safeties at all.  It is a little thin at first-round talent, but it is well-stocked with mid and late round prospects.

[Dr. T's Annual Draft Contest]

Please be a good sport and do not just copy other contestant's selections. You can easily do some research on your own, since plenty of free draft services are available on the web. You can make changes to your selections before the contest is closed on Thursday at noon CST April 30, 2015, on the first day of the draft, but, like in taking standardized tests, many times your first guess usually is the right one!  If there is a trade before the draft and one or more of the picks change, we will start over. Good luck and let the best GM win!

 

hey Dr.T are we allowed to redo our list or only one submission of picks?

 

Looks like you he's graciously allowing you to rethink your draft.

[Clayton Geathers will be best Safety in 2015 class]

Breshad Perriman is set to visit the Colts.  I hope we use it as an opportunity to ask about Geathers.  I doubt Perriman is going to fall to us in the first or that WR is going to be our first-round pick.

[Defjamz Mock Draft 2.5]

While I would love this draft after it happened, I would be cursing Grigson for a whole day. If Hayes Pullard fell to our fourth, and we did not take him, I would be furious. When he falls to our fifth, and we do not take him, I would be murderous. Then he falls to our sixth, and we do not take him...

[Dwight lowery agrees to terms with us]

He held his own against Jimmy Graham. I did watch the game, but I don't have video to share. If you have game rewind then you can watch the game.

Jimmy Graham was injured and mediocre for much of last season.
