I'm not big on Quinyon Mitchell but picking a slot receiver like Ricky Pearsell within the top 50 blows my mind. Drafting Legette would make more sense imo.
-
Chop Robinson at 15 is crazy.
-
The NFL Draft is unpredictable and anything can happen but it's highly unlikely for Nabers, Odunze & even Brock Bowers to make it to 15.
-
It was the typical Chris Ballard presser that we've all seen every year he's been the Colts GM.

Gotta credit the media for asking him the difficult questions even though he's dodging most of them in typical Ballard fashion.

100% Bowers. Give Anthony Richardson MORE weapons.
-
Cooper DeJean.
-
Sticking at 15 is the most likely, but if Chris Ballard was ever going to move up in the first round and select a player, it's gonna happen next week.

Brock Bowers. Surrounding Anthony Richardson with as much talent as possible is my number one focus right now.
-
More than likely Gus Bradley will take the fall but it should 100% be Chris Ballard.

Give me Jeremiah Trotter Jr.

what do you think he’ll pull?Probably something close to what Gilmore signed with the Colts. I guess it'll depend on how high his market is and how long he has to sit and wait to sign somewhere. I'm assume he'll sign something close to 12-15 million per year.

It’s the route I see us going quite honestly. Not necessarily him specifically, but an older vet and maybe one that isn’t brought in to be an upgrade but more depth/mentor like you said.I would be okay with signing him on a short deal if the price is right.
-
If the Colts aren't able to a top FA at CB then I wouldn't mind taking a flier on Xavien Howard to bring in a veteran presence to help mentor the younger guys while filling a need at outside CB. Also, Xavien will go back to playing man coverage which is something he excels in.

Thought I'd start my own post about the 2024 NFL Draft as I like to do many (too many some might say) mock drafts. As always, your opinions are welcome even if you don't like my picks. Also, these mocks are done on ProfootballNetwork's site (my favorite) and like all mocks, some picks are unrealistic, but this is just for fun.
Mock #1:
So, for my 1st mock for this thread, I did the Chris Ballard method (traded back). The trades are as follows:
Rams received picks 15, 113 for picks 19, 52
SF received pick 19 for picks 31, 63, 94
GB received picks 51, 144 for picks 58, 91
Browns received picks 82, 175 for picks 85, 129
Broncos received picks 116, 206 for picks 117,191
31. Brian Thomas Jr., WR LSU
Height: 6 - 4 | Weight: 205 | RAS: N/A
After years of missing out on the traditional X wide receivers standing at 6'2" and weighing over 200 pounds, the 2024 NFL Draft Class has made up the difference. Brian Thomas Jr. is a true alpha who wins at-will in the red zone. However, he also possesses more than enough fluidity and prowess as a route runner. Additionally, he's explosive enough to threaten defenses downfield. Dalton Miller.
52. Byron Murphy II, DT Texas
Height: 6 - 1 | Weight: 308 | RAS: N/A
Murphy’s floor as a run defender with his strength, mass, leverage, angle awareness, and movement freedom is already incredibly high, and he has the ceiling to be a devastating pass-rushing threat if he can channel his energy and power capacity more efficiently.
As a prospect, Murphy bears some similarity to Atlanta Falcons Pro Bowler and second-team All-Pro defensive lineman Grady Jarrett.

58. T.J. Tampa, CB Iowa State
Height: 6 - 1 | Weight: 198 | RAS: N/A
At 6'1, almost 200 pounds, and projected to run a low 4.4 40-yard dash, T.J. Tampa is one of the best few cornerback prospects in the entire Big 12. He came into his own in 2022, earning preseason All-Big 12 honors heading into this fall.
Though he has only one career interception, Tampa is a very talented coverage option thanks to his physical traits. Capable in both man and zone assignments, Tampa is regularly in a great position to challenge receivers at the catch point. While his patience and footwork are advanced enough to stay in the receiver's hip pockets throughout the duration of routes, his speed is a neutralizer for when he does fall behind.
Tampa's athleticism is NFL-caliber. But there are areas where he can elevate his game from the late Day 2 range
Tampa's too quick to turn his hips during his backpedal, allowing receivers to adjust on option routes or take advantage when he guesses incorrectly. He's also prone to taking poor angles in the run game, where he has the right aggression but misdiagnoses the angles he can make work. - Ian Valentino
63. Brandon Dorlus, EDGE Oregon
Height: 6 - 3 | Weight: 291 | RAS: N/A
Built like a combination between a defensive tackle and edge defender, Brandon Dorlus uses every bit of his 6'3", 278-pound frame. His strength at the point of attack is excellent, already capable of handling his own at the next level. But the surprising part of Dorlus' game is his agility and well-rounded nature as a technician.
Dorlus is patient in his attack and will exploit the weaknesses of his blocker, whether it's splitting blockers with a sidestep, moving down the line and keeping his gap integrity, or winning with an inside swim move. He brings a high level of activity, and his power should help him see time as a 3-4 end early in his career. - Ian Valentino
85. Cole Bishop, S Utah
Height: 6 - 3 | Weight: 200 | RAS: N/A
Cole Bishop is one of the best safeties in the nation. He's a do-it-all talent who will line up everywhere, from single-high to two-high to the line of scrimmage. His production reflects the fact that he's often everywhere the ball is.
He has good size at 6'2" and 205 pounds and fits the modern NFL very well. He's fast to react and able to handle his own in the slot against receivers and tight ends. Bishop has a firm Day 2 grade and should be a starter in the NFL. - Ian Valentino
91. Braelon Allen, RB Wisconsin
Height: 6 - 2 | Weight: 238 | RAS: N/A
Has elite overall size, and will be just 20 years old as an NFL rookie.
Can easily absorb and bounce off solo hits with his tightly-packed midsection.
High-level goal-line back with his size and mass, and can plow through the trenches.
-Ian Cummings
94. Tommy Eichenberg, LB Ohio State
Height: 6 - 2 | Weight: 235 | RAS: N/A
Tommy Eichenberg exploded in 2022 with 120 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, a pick, and three pass deflections. Now, he's projected as one of the top LB prospects in the 2024 NFL Draft.
In similar fashion to his statistical ascent, Eichenberg is just as explosive on the field. At 6'2", 235 pounds, he can erupt through gaps and closing ground easily in pursuit, and he plays with a red-hot motor from snap to whistle. -Ian Cummings
117. Christian Mahogany, OG Boston College
Height: 6 - 3 | Weight: 332 | RAS: N/A
129. Anthony Belton, OT NC State
Height: 6 - 5 | Weight: 336 | RAS: N/A
191. Joe Milton, QB Tennessee
Height: 6 - 5 | Weight: 236 | RAS: N/A
Flashes controlled pocket movements vs. pressure
Big, big arm
Acceleration through throwing motion is insane
The ball gets to the opposite hash instantaneously
-Ian Cummings
This is literally one of my favorite Colts mock drafts this year!

Mike Williams (LAC) makes much sense for the Colts. He'll be a cheaper option while having previous ties with Shane Steichen.

If this thread is somewhere else I apologize… but feel free to talk about this wide receiver draft class… has anybody here watched them? Are there any quick twitched wide receivers like #1 (correct me if I’m wrong) for the Jaguars? If so, who? He was “more slippery than a rain drop”!
How are you a Colts fan and not know Travis Etienne is an RB for a division opponent?

The cap was already projected to go up $17m. Which was what the cap space was projected at. It went up $13m more than anticipated so our cap space only goes up that $13m, as the other $17m was included.
He might make a couple splash moves, with the extra money.
Thanks for clearing that up for me!

Hopefully, he'll return to Indy under a contract similar to the last one he signed with the Colts.

Didn't the Colts have over $60 million before the cap increase? I thought they would have closer to $90 million or am I missing something?

Draft a cornerback in the first round this year?
There are like 5 guys projected to go in the 10-20 range, with all five being viewed fairly evenly and with no real stand-out CB1.I really struggle to see the Colts doing anything except drafting a corner in the first round and/or trading back.
Any CFB fans watch any of those five guys this year?
Definitely! Gotta see how everything goes with the NFL Combine and FA pan out over the next few months. I much rather see the Colts bring back Kenny Moore and sign a number one corner in FA to allow them to take Brock Bowers or Brian Thomas Jr at 15 (If available) since this NFL Draft is loaded at WR. I would love to get Bowers in RD1 and another WR in RD2 or RD3. We just gotta wait and see how things play out first.
-
Bring back Michael Pittman and give me Mike Williams from the Chargers who has ties with Shane Steichen. I'm also more than okay with taking a guy like Brian Thomas Jr at 15 if Brock Bowers and the other top three receivers are off the board.

On a recent episode of the Trenches Podcast TY Hilton seems to indicate Luck would’ve come back had Colts fans not booed him off the field.
I think he meant if Luck had returned in 2019, the Colts were poised to win it all which I don't agree with. I think they still needed quite a bit to win it all.
