    Hey everyone, I am back with my Pre-Combine and Draft Bowls (Senior Bowl, East-West Shrine Game, etc.) Mock/FA!! I am going to start off with Free Agency.
    We have many needs this year, but none is bigger than our O-Line. We need to keep Luck upright next season because I don't know if he can take as many hits as last season.
    OG's Andy Levitre and Louis Vasquez: Levitre and Vasquez are, in my opinion, the two best Offensive Guards hitting Free Agency this offseason. They are both still young players (Vasquez is 25 and Levitre is 26) and could, along with Shipley, give us one of the best young interior lines in the NFL.
    Our next biggest need is our secondary, particularly the SS position. We need a difference make, as Zbi is just not cutting it.
    SS Dashon Gholdson: Gholdson is one of the hardest hitting SS's in the league. He would remind us of Bob. He is relatively young, 28, and would fit in great with our team.
    With Dwight most likely on his way out this season. We need an edge rusher to replace him, but one that can actually stop the run.
    OLB Anthony Spencer: Spencer is arguably the best run stopping OLB, in a 3-4 scheme, in the league. He is awesome in that right. He is a vastly underrated pass rusher though. I would love to see him in a Colts uniform this offseason.
    Now on to the draft. I believe that we should trade down to the second and pick up a 2014 first from a lower tier team, while giving back a 2014 5th.
    2. OT D.J. Fluker: Fluker is a massive player. He has been going up against the best competition you can get in college for years now. I believe that he will be the final piece of the puzzle for our O-Line.
    3. CB Desmond Trufant: As evidenced by our last game, we need a corner opposite Davis. Trufant can be that guy. He has great instincts and has the bloodlines. He is good in run support, which is what we like in our corners.
    4. DE William Gholston: Gholston is an amazing athlete at the DE position. He can play DE in the 3-4 or 4-3. He will slide some in the draft due to character and production concerns, but would be a steal at this point in the draft.
    5. (Compensatory) WR Marcus Davis: Davis is a big receiver at 6-3 and is very fast. He needs to work on his hands and route running but when he gets those down, he will be a force to reckon with. Reggie's strengths are Davis's weaknesses, so playing with Reggie woll help Davis a ton.
    6. RB Spencer Ware: Ware is a bruiser and, in my opinion, just what we need to pair up with Ballard and Brown. He has only fumbled once ever in his college career and could easily replace Carter as our short yardage back. He is an ultra competitor and just the player I want on this team.
    6. (Compensatory) C Braxton Cave: He could come in and compete against Shipley and Satele for the starting job. Very smart player and that's what I want in a Center.
    7. K Dustin Hopkins: Vinatieri is getting older and we will need a replacement, so why not get the best kicker in college football.
    Thanks for reading and don't forget to comment below. It's the Future and you never know what's in it.

    My take on our draft!

    By coltsguy510,

    I will be going over our first 3 rounds. I think that we will end up with a 3-13 record and the 2nd pick in the draft. A team will want Logan Thomas and we will get 3 future first's and a second. We will be at the 6th pick in the draft. We should trade down yet again, this time to 10, and pick up another second.
    With this pick, we choose Chance Warmack, OG Alabama. Warmack is a beast!! He completely dominated the Michigan defensive line and I don't think his man made a tackle in the game. He had at least 6 pancakes in the game. He blocks until the whistle blows. On one play a Michigan defensive player had a step on him and got the first push and leverage on Warmack, but Warmack used his will power to eventually pancake the opposing lineman. Oh yeah, he also has never been injured in his college career. He would allow Andrew Luck to not worry about stepping up in the pocket and could finally give us a good run game.
    With the first of our 2 second round picks, we choose Aaron Dobson, WR Marshall. Dobson is a big WR with great hands. At 6-3 and with a basketball backround, he will go over defenders to get the ball. He has great, consistent hands and will snag the ball right from a defender. He is not a great route runner, but working with Reggie should help that. He has good top end speed. Dobson will be that #1 WR we have been looking for to replace Reggie when he retires. Here is a video that displays his hands.
    With the second of our 2 second rounders, we pick TJ Mcdonald, S USC. Mcdonald loves to hit. He is a captain for the veteran USC squad, which shows his leadership. He averaged about 6 tackles per game, which is pretty impressive to me. He could bring back that fire that we haven't had since Bob Sanders left. If we draft Mcdonald and he pans out, we could have one of the best safety tandems in the league.
    With our third round pick we pick Brennan Williams, OT UNC. Williams could play opposite Anthony Castonzo and help protect Luck. He is very athletic and strong. He flashes a meanstreak and will get nasty. He is a LT, but is probably more suited to be a right tackle. If we drafted Williams and Warmack to go with Castonzo and Satele, our O-Line would be solidified for almost all of Luck's career.

    Hey, everyone it's coltsguy511 and I'm back with post #2. Todays topic is "2013 Free Agency". I will be going over the players that are available and those we could make a play for.
    Next years free agency is heavy on WR's and OT's. The top players at WR are Mike Wallace, Greg Jennings, Dwayne Bowe, Desean Jackson, and Steve Smith (STL one). I think that Greg Jennings and Dwayne Bowe are the only ones who will be resigned. So that leaves Steve Smith, Mike Wallace, Desean Jackson. Take out Desean Jackson, because we have T.Y. Hilton. So that leaves Steve Smith and Mike Wallace. I think that Mike Wallace would be the most likely to sign with us because a.) Bruce Arians and b.) we have the cap space. I think that he could be a good replacement for Reggie Wayne when he retires.
    Now on to OT's. The top OT's available are Ryan Clady, Jake Long, Jeff Otah, Sebastian Vollmer, and Jermon Bushrod. Out of those players Vollmer, Clady, and Bushrod look to be resigned. That leaves Otah and Long. Long is clearly the superior of the two, which means the more expensive of the two. I think that Long is worth it though. He could be that franchise LT that could protect Luck for years to come. So If we have the cap space and a reasonable price, I say sign him.
    There are many RB's available this year, but only one that I feel we should take a look at, Matt Forte. The Bears have repeatedly disrespected him in their contract dispute, they signed Michael Bush while they were negotiating and then Bush threw the opening pitch at a Cubs game, obviously showing Chicago welcoming him as a Bear. He is a great receiver out of the backfield. He has proven that he can run without the best line and is a great fit for us. If Grigson can sign him, be excited for next year.
    Now on to defense. There is only one lineman that I feel we should look at, and that is Calais Campbell. He is a great run defender and a very good pass rusher. We would bring him in as a 3-4 DE. If we could manage to get him for the right price, we could have a very good run defense. UPDATE: Campbell has been re-signed by the Cardinals on a five year deal.
    I personally don't think that there are many good FA LB's this year. I think that we can address that need in the draft. While the draft class is LOADED with Corners for next year, there aren't many in Free Agency that we should consider picking up. I know Corner is a major need for us, so I think that we should grab at least one player. Tracy Porter is the only CB that I think we should pick up. He could vastly improve our secondary and won't be overly expensive. Last but not Least, Safeties. Like the Corners, there is only one player that I think we should sign, Jairus Byrd. He is a ball-hawking safety and can hit. If we could sign him to pair up with Bethea, we would have one of the best safety duos in the league.
    If we can't sign a LB or a Corner, I think that we could try this deal in the draft (This only works if we have a top five to ten pick). We should draft CB David Amerson, a 6-3 ball-hawking corner who had 13 picks last year, and then trade our 2nd round pick, our 3rd or 4th round pick, and a 2014 6th round pick, to get into the top 15 where we pick............. Manti Te'o from Notre Dame. Tell me what you think in the comments below.
    I know that this whole article is premature, but that's what it's supposed be. For all we know, our weaknesses could be our strengths at the end of the year. It's always fun to speculate and try to look into the future. But thats the thing, it's The Future and we never know what's going to happen.

    Colts first 5 picks:
    Round 1: CB David Amerson: A 6-3 Corner that will make you think that he's a receiver with his ball skills. Very good speed for his size. Plays physical. Only knock is that he may need to work on his press coverage.
    Round 2: OLB 6-3 Brandon Jenkins and WR 6-4 Justin Hunter (via trade)
    Brandon Jenkins: A speed edge rusher who comes round the corner. He has many moves that he can use on opposing OT's. A very good athlete. Biggest knock is that he is not very physical at times.
    Justin Hunter: A big, athletic target at 6-4, Hunter plays faster than his size. He is a physical receiver who will burn you downfield. In high school he was rated as the nation No. 3 long jumper, No. 7 high jumper, and the No. 14 triple jumper. Named CBS No.3 athletic freak in College Football. He will be coming of a torn ACL this year.
    Round 3: OG 6-3 Jonathan Cooper: A good athlete, who is strong at the point of attack, Jonathan Cooper is one of the best OG's in the country. He is both a very good run blocker and pass blocker. He paved the way for Giovanni Bernard, who had 1,253 yards and 13 TD's.
    Round 4: 3-4 DE 6-8 Margus Hunt: A freak of nature. At 6-8 with an 82 inch wingspan, he has blocked 14 kicks in his 3 year college career. He will be a load for lineman to move even at the next level. Named CBS College Football "Athletic Freak". He is a junoir world champion at the shot put and discus throw. He has run a 4.7 40 yard dash and benched 225 lbs. 35 times. He has also vertical jumped 36 inches. He is a very raw player who may need developing, but could make a very good payoff.
    Comment on changes you would make below, if you want. Thanks!!

    2013 Draft

    By coltsguy510,

    What's up everybody! This is coltsguy511 looking in on The Future. This is my first post and I know that I will be wrong half of the time on these blogs, but it's always fun to speculate and look into The Future. OK so today's topic is "The 2013 Draft".
    I know that in this years draft was mainly offensive players, so that we could give our QB of the future some weapons. I (and many other people) am under the impression that we'll draft defensive players next year. But I also think that we'll invest in one Lucky player's protection. As you know our O-Line, until proven otherwise is not very good. So I think that we should get a guard in the second or third round next year. At the moment the leading candidates are 6-3 320lb Chance Warmack from 'Bama, 6-3 310lb Jonathan Cooper from UNC, and 6-5 302lb Barret Jones from 'Bama (If he falls to us). They could provide that interior Run Blocking that we very much need and help protect Luck.
    Next year the first round is anyones guess. We could draft OLB Jarvis Jones, ILB Manti Te'o, OT D.J. Fluker, CB David Amerson, WR Robert Woods, or DT Star Lotuleilei. I personally feel that if we have the first pick, we should trade down and pick up Manti Te'o. He could be the corner stone for our defense for years to come. Then again we could pick none of the players mentioned above. We have no way to tell. It's The Future and we never know what coming. Until next time, this is coltsguy511.

    I will be going over our first 4 rounds. Let's say that we end up with the 1st pick in the draft. A team will want Barkley and we will get 3 first's, 2 second's, and a third. We could possibly get a 3rd third round pick for compensation from Garcon, at least a fourth. We will be at the 6th pick in the draft. We should trade down yet again, this time to 10, and pick up another second.
    With this pick, we choose Chance Warmack, OG Alabama. Warmack is a beast!! He completely dominated the Michigan defensive line and I don't think his man made a tackle in the game. He had at least 6 pancakes in the game. He blocks until the whistle blows. On one play a Michigan defensive player had a step on him and got the first push and leverage on Warmack, but Warmack used his will power to eventually pancake the opposing lineman. Oh yeah, he also has never been injured in his college career. He would allow Andrew Luck to not worry about stepping up in the pocket and could finally give us a good run game.
    With the first of our 2 second round picks, we select Dion Jordan, OLB Oregon. Jordan is a fast player with an always running motor and violent hands. He is a perfect fit for our hybrid scheme, because he is a hybrid OLB. He is a very good athlete with a very fast learning pace. He has only played DE/OLB for 2 years now. He has good potential and if we develop him, will become a stud for us.
    With the second of our 2 second round picks, we choose Aaron Dobson, WR Marshall. Dobson is a big WR with great hands. At 6-3 and with a basketball backround, he will go over defenders to get the ball. He has great, consistent hands and will snag the ball right from a defender. He is not a great route runner, but working with Reggie should help that. He has good top end speed. Dobson will be that #1 WR we have been looking for to replace Reggie when he retires.
    With one of our third rounders, we pick T.J. Mcdonald, S Texas. Mcdonald loves to hit. He is a captain for the veteran USC squad, which shows his leadership. He averaged about 6 tackles per game, which is pretty impressive to me. He could bring back that fire that we haven't had since Bob Sanders left. If we draft Mcdonald and he pans out, we could have one of the best safety tandems in the league.
    With our second third round pick we pick Brennan Williams, OT UNC. Williams could play opposite Anthony Castonzo and help protect Luck. He is very athletic and strong. He flashes a meanstreak and will get nasty. He is a LT, but is probably more suited to be a right tackle. If we drafted Williams and Warmack to go with Castonzo and Satele, our O-Line would be solidified for almost all of Luck's career.
    With our last third round pick, we select Jesse Williams, NT Alabama. Yes, we get another Bama NT. They seem to be the best and nastiest kind. He benched 600 pounds, so yeah, he's a strong guy!! He flashes a mean streak. He is very good in run support and is a good disruptor as a pass rusher. He has a good motor and is a powerful hitter. He has good straight line speed and gives a ton of effort. Williams would be back with his old college buddy and would provide us with a good rotation at NT.
    With our fourth round pick, we select Kenjon Barner, RB Oregon. He would be our own little Darren Sproles. We would have so meany weapons for Andrew and Kenjon could be a major one. He is a quick, shifty runner who will beat the defenses with his speed. He is a home run player. He is good in the pass game as well. If we can get Kenjon, we will have a very dynamic weapon!
