If I had more time, I would check each out for skill set and our scheme fit and 'fine tune this list and see how it compare as people peel off names and our pick comes in. Landry has stated that in his experience, you only need around 150 names on your big board, as every team grades and ranks (and takes) players slightly differently. In essence though, I would go through and move some of these guys off the board (very poor character or medical concern players) and add others. I'd also move some of these to a side board, only pick is we trade down and acquire extra picks (say we get a 7th t -
Chris Landry Free article #3 Life on the road as a scout In the high glamour world of pro football, it is the players and coaches who get the lions share of the credit and the huge salaries. Not much attention is given to the gentlemen who find the players out on the road. Such is the life of an NFL scout. Long car rides, hurried flight connections, cheap motel rooms and fast meals are the norm as is lonely nights writing reports to the wee hours of the morning. Much like many other NFL personnel, a scout’s season begins with training camp. At camp, a scout’s responsibi

On draft day, I'll relay some teasers and their free articles web site URL from Chris Landry concerning the NFL draft and / or scouting. Here is the first of these: History of the NFL draft. Some teasers: 1974 PITTSBURGH STEELERS: Following the previous years drafts where they acquired Joe Greene, LC Greenwood, Terry Bradshaw, Mel Blount, Jack Ham, Greg Mullins, Dwight White, Ernie Holmes, Larry Brown, Mike Wagner, JT Thomas and Franco Harris, Pittsburgh may well have had the best draft ever to add to that group- Art Rooney Jr., Dick Haley and Chuck Noll.

Well it's time folks...let's have at it.

Recently, some mock drafts have some 1st/ 2nd round talent falling after teams filled their 1st round needs through Free Agency (Cowboys - Brandon Carr, Seahawks - Matt Flynn, Bills - Mario Williams). The Colts have begun to shape their new 3-4 scheme with the addition of Cory Redding and Tom Zbikowski formerly of the Ravens, who are familiar with Pagano's defense. Mathis and Freeney will stand up to play OLB's and I like Pat Angerer in the middle for the foreseeable future. I believe we haven't seen the end of FA signings to shore up the defense with the likes of a veteran NT like Antonio Gar -
I think every member of this forum would agree that the Colts are not a Super Bowl caliber team at this time. The method for adding the necessary players to accomplish this, however, has been a moot point. Many prefer signing veterans, free agents, to drafting unproven rookies---no matter how good the prospect is. Still, this view was not endorsed by Tony Dungy, who believed that bringing in a player from another team usually caused division. Following his opinion, the Colts have been largely successful for the past many years, racking up the most league wins of the 2000-2010 decade. Another m

This might not be the most popular choice, but if I was the Colts GM then I would go all-in with Peyton Manning or all-in with Andrew Luck at the #1 pick. This team needs a lot of help all over the field, and both Manning and the #1 pick could bring us back a LOT of draft picks and/or players. The Colts do not have the luxury of keeping both for a few seasons simply because we have holes all over the field. I wish we did, but we need to many players at too many positions to keep both high-value QB's on the roster next season. If the Colts had been successful on their past 4-5 1st-round picks

In this hypothetical draft scenario we have the second overall pick. Also I believe you will find this one is more realistic to happen then my other one. No trade downs involved, just straight up our 7 picks. 1st round: Alshon Jeffery, WR, South Carolina, 6-4, 229lbs - Reggie is getting old and nobody is consistently consistent behind him other than Clark. With the drafting of Jeffery, we allow him to learn from under Reggie and help him work on his routes and we get our big red zone target we have all craved for years. 2nd round: Stephon Gilmore, CB, South Carolina, 6-1,193lbs - In the second
