I watched Holmes for all his time at USC, being a USC fan and all.  He leaves a lot to be desired.  He is a smart player, but has no real strength to his game.  He is more of a angle type blocker, and rarely can move his man out of the way.  He is also awkward for a center, seems to be too tall or maybe he has trouble bending his knees.  He is like a 5th rounder in my opinion, nothing more.  He might make a good left guard, but will need to add strength in the weight room if he is ever to become a reliable starter in the NFL.  In the opening series versus Utah, Star Lotulelei, pushed him back into Matt Barkley causing two fumbles I believe in the first quarter of the game.  He might be a good option as a backup who can play Center and both Guard positions, but I don't see starter material in him right now.

Too high. More like 6th or 7th round tops. Rather take Barrett Jones in the 3rd (doubt he's there, but if he is)

I actually think Jones will be there late 3th. I think Schwenke will go early 3rd. I expect Holmes to go late 4th and Braxton Cave late 5th.

Khaled Holmes is pretty bad honestly i wouldnt even expect he could beat out shipley. 

 

?????????????????????

 

He was the #1 or #2 rated center at the start of the year....   and the only thing that kept him from performing like one was injuries....

 

Otherwise....   I have no idea where you got that impression....

 

He's probably a 4th or 5th round draft pick....   any lower would tell me there are injury issues at play...

 

Not sure he's a fit for the Colts...   I think his background is zone blocking...   not sure if he can handle man blocking...

      Colts have the 15th pick in the draft. (MERGE)

      I think if the Colts get a WR in the top-50?picks, or so,  I think the Colts would agree with you.

      welp, after another week of developments, rumors, and predictions…here is where I stand:   1.  My personal top 5 for our first has not changed.  Mitchell, Arnold, Turner, BTJ, Bowers are still who id be ok with picking at 15.  I’ve said it before, but this is one of the most “it can go any way for us” drafts I’ve witnessed for us in a long time, if not ever.     2.  With the rumors of us looking to trade up, I AM ALL FOR IT.  It’s ok to play it safe and build your team, but that gets mediocrity.  We need to go out and get a guy.  A player we KNOW that will be elite or very good.  Not one that we hope can do that.  I think MHJ is definitely going to the Cards (if they don’t trade out) so that means either Nabers or Odunze who we’re probably trading for if they fall to 8 or 9.  Id prefer Nabers over Odunze.  Nabers is that blazing separator we desperately need, Odunze is possessive beast, but I feel we already have that with MPJ.  I don’t think trading up for bowers would be worth it.     3.  Trading back is an absolute no for me.  As said above, we have to start getting bonafide players and studs.  If we have a chance to get a bonafide stud, then we shouldn’t give it up.  Trading back and giving up the chance to get someone is lowering the talent level of our first pick.  Let’s get aggressive for once and get OUR guy.  If we can’t, let’s stay put and draft a player who will be VERY good.

      Year 25! Dr. T's Annual Colt's Draft Contest for 2024

      FYI Castro went back to college at Iowa this upcoming season.  Look for Sebastian in the 2025 NFL Draft.

      What is Chris Ballard MOST LIKELY to do in the 1st Round of the 2024 NFL Draft?

      By OhioColt · Posted

      Like most QBs they need a safety blanket to throw to and that can be a TE.  Draft rumor-mill already in full circulation with news that the Colts want to trade up on Day 1.  Still think it's a long shot to draft a legacy in MHJ reaching P4 with the Cardinals.  A trade up to P8 with Atlanta is probably the most realistic scenario and TE Bowers would be the call-in.  Not sold on most of this year's draftable QBs and doubt 4 or more will be drafted within the top-8 picks.  See the draft play out like every other year where teams can stay and get a serviceable QB.

      This could very well be the rare year we do trade up on Day 1.  Really shocked if we go after a legacy and the cost might be too rich for the short-term versus draft immediate draft needs.  Now a trade up to say P8 swap with Atlanta has a higher percentage of happening I do feel.  No way going to trade within our division with the Titans at P7.  At P8 should still have one of the top-3 WRs or even better option of drafting a generational TE in Bowers.
