One of the Scouts Inc guys for ESPN.com  (not McShay)  said while Collins' combine was terrific, he went back over game tape just to be sure. 

 

Said Collins' game tapes are not very good.    Not instinctive.   Not intuitive.   Can't find the ball.   Slow to react.    On and on.

 

So, he tests like a first rounder, but plays like a 3rd or 4th rounder.   Collins holds a 3rd round grade with the Scouts Inc folks.

 

At least, for now....

That's what I've been reading as well.  The surprising part is that these "gurus" are now sticking Collins and Hunt in the 1st round.  Kiper had already put Watson as our pick, so I wasn't shocked by that.  I think some scouts don't think Trufant should be in the first either.

Personally, my non-scout view is Trufant has played and tested his way into the first round.

 

The other three, I'd feel more comfortable taking in the 2nd round.    Perhaps in the top of the 2nd round,  but not the first.

 

Just my view of things in early March....

I'd be happy with Trufant. Hunt would be alright. 

 

Collins is not worth that 24 spot. I don't buy the hype in Watson. He's an early 2nd rounder at best and the Colts should look elsewhere.

How about Sheriff Floyd? Gil Brandt has him going like 26 and one guy has him going 3???? This draft is going to be wild I have a feeling

 

Shariff Floyd is the hottest name in the draft right now....   the 3 GMs on the NFL Network (Pioli, Tannenbaum, Casserly) all have him going in the top-5.    Floyd is also top-5 for both Kiper and McShay....    I think he might be 1st for Kiper right now....

 

Unless something unexpected happens, there's a zero percent chance he gets out of the top-10 and less than that that he falls to the Colts at 24.   Wish that weren't the case....

Ya, 6 weeks ago Floyd was in the 20's with most so called expert mock drafts I saw. Now he's soared to top 10 or top 5.

I just looked over these mock's again. Are they just throwing darts? I mean one guy has Bjorn Werner going 27? wth? Craziness. I wouldn't mind seeing Ansah fall into our lap. The more I hear of him the more I like of him. he played every position along the DL at BYU. He looks like a great prospect as a rush end/OLB

I was listening to Charlie Casserley the other day and he said he would play well in press man scheme. But as far as man to man coverage itself he sayimg trufant didn't look good in the drill related to that at the combine. Basically saying he looked stiff in the hip and things were not very smooth. So its only one mans opinion but something to keep an eye on.

      2025 Mock Draft

      By OhioColt · Posted

      Both Flacco and Ehlinger are free agents.  Uncertain about the long list of upcoming QB FAs that we could target next season.  Remember AR is still very raw only played one full season much like Caleb Williams in college with very similar snap count and production.  I do see the Colts looking for potentially two backup replacements but also someone very early in Round 2 as a backup (with strong upside as a starter a must).  Jalen Milroe (Alabama) is my top front-runner and may see his draft stock rise to early Round 1, but right now if he is available to us in Round 2 then he becomes our next Flacco/Minshew.  Either Grayson McCall or KJ Jefferson could be potential draft replacements for Ehlinger.    Right now, can see us next year go Edge again in Round 1.  Both Ebukam and Lewis will be in their 30's and contracts up at the end of 2025.

      I don't know. There's some potential late games. Lions, Steelers, Bills, Dolphins, Packers. Texans for sure

      Agree, feels very late this year.    The NFL teams are preparing schedule release videos as we speak right now!

      Chris Ballard on Pat McAfee Show about the draft

      By VikingsFanInChennai · Posted

      Simmons is someone the NFL and every referee unit continues to have their eye on during every play. The moment he does a big hit (he usually doesn't care about how and where he hits), the league is gonna serve him a 4 game ban. He would spend most of the year suspended, unless he plays by rules which he doesn't seem to want.    Do you think Ballard gets that type of player, with year long availability in question? There's a reason he's available in FA, not because he's waiting, but because only the teams that are okay with his style of play and its consequences will get him before the start of the season. Not sure Colts is that team.
