hambone35 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 not sure what all is coming out of ncaa next year that could solodify our o line ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Luke Joeckel and Jake Matthews (Texas A&M) and Taylor Lewan (Michigan) are the best tackles in the draft, then Chance Warmack and Barrett Jones (Bama) are the best interior linemen - Jones can line up anywhere on the line. Bama also have DJ Fluker at tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTC Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Someone from Alabama. (Like Chance Warmack or Barrett Jones) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bama also have DJ Fluker at tackle.Kinda off-topic but Jake Matthews is the younger cousin of Clay and Casey Matthews. That's a solid football family, Jake is gonna be a first-rounder for sure next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakedownstreet Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 just an fyi: there is a draft forum here on the board. i don't visit it a lot, but i am sure o-line prospects is one of the top subject discussed there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKnight24 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Any Alabama one, they'd help in the Run GameAnd any Lineman from TCU or Texas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coltsguy510 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Chance Warmack, Jonathan Cooper, and Barret Jones are the top OG's. I would want Warmack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Ricky Wagner or Taylor Lewan.I'd go with Wagner, and stick him as a RT for his first year. Maybe move him over if Castonzo isn't performing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColtStrong Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I wouldn't mind one of the top WR's or a CB. We can always get FA O-lineman that won't take 2 years to develop, if at all. Id rather go with a known quantity when it comes to protecting our bread and butter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoColts8818 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 While I wouldn't complain if we draft an o-lineman I'd much rather go the free agent market if we can. First of all with a free agent you know what you are getting where as the draft is a gamble. Second, as we have seen with Castonzo it takes some time for rookies to develop. Even if we get the best o-lineman in the draft next year they are going to need time to grow and they will probably struggle some at the start which isn't going to help protect Luck. Maybe we split it sign a vet who can come in and make an impact right away and draft another young kid to grow on the line. That wouldn't be so bad. I would say though we need to find at least two o-linemen in the off-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 what we could do is draft (if the oppurtunity presents itself) is draft Warmack and Barrett Jones or D.J. Fluker or another top O Lineman and sign a Free Agent O Lineman like an insurance policy for the short term Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austriancolt Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I'm torn between Barret Jones and Chance Warmack. Jones is a versatile guy, that can play OG, C and OT but Warmack is probably the best best Guard in this years class. If the colts end up with a top5, top 7 pick I would trade down draft Jones or Warmack draft the best OT available in the second round and would sign at least 1 or 2 good veterans!

hambone35 Posted September 17, 2012 Author Share Posted September 17, 2012 today i thought it looked night and day against the vikes as compared to the bears obviously we got essex and the other guy my mind went blank on the other one but o line looled impressive today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ace_6900 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 how about take wamack and get Jake Long in free agency. We are allowed to dream right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coltsguy510 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 We get Jake Long, Jermon Bushrod, Ryan Clady, Andre Smith or Duane Brown in FA (hopefully one is available) and than we draft Warmack. Easy. That would be the dream scenario, we could shift Castonzo to the right, put one of those studs on the left, put Warmack at OG, Keep Satele at C, and put Reitz at the other OG spot.

Kenny Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I wouldn't mind one of the top WR's or a CB. We can always get FA O-lineman that won't take 2 years to develop, if at all. Id rather go with a known quantity when it comes to protecting our bread and butter. Agree. Think FA should be spent on both lines as much as possible with draft touching an ILB as well as more help in the trenches for the long haul.

ztboiler Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Giving away that 2nd on Vontae was not smart.Ya, especially the way he got torched all day yesterday and kept missing tackles in run support....O wait, maybe I'm confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewColtsFan Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 It's way too early to know who will be available in the draft. There will be 3rd and 4th year juniors that will want to come out, some will... but some might not for a variety of reasons.So, we won't know until Mid-January. That's the declaration time frame.But as we've seen for two games, we need some serious quality OL help to keep Andrew Alive!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryTheCat Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Let's just take all of Bama's line.Yup...I think you could pretty much just transplant Bama's O-line to a lot of NFL teams and it would be an upgrade from what they have today.
