Reaching for a "big ugly?"

[Wesk7]

If neither Warmack or Cooper fall to us at 24 would drafting Warford be to much of a reach? He's rated higher than Cooper on NFL.com with an 88.3 to Cooper's 86.9. This would fill a hole at RG and we wouldn't have to have McGlynn starting on the line. With him in, and Shipley over Satele, our line could give Luck good time to find his receivers and bring his completion rate up. 

[CR91]

No way either one falls. Both will be gone way before we draft

[Luckynumber12]

I agree Warford isnt a reach at 24 some like him better than cooper and fills a huge need OG   but i would also look for a guy like datone jones or Bjoern Werner , Damontre Moore

[BPM_Colt]

Warford would be a nice addition. Have to protect the franchise(Luck)

[PrincetonTiger]

Warford would be a nice pick at #24

[The Peytonator]

NFL.com has him at an 85.3. In every mock/scouting report I've seen, it would seem to be a massive reach to take him at 24. Personally, if Cooper and Warmack are gone, I would not mind seeing us draft Fluker. I think he would make for an excellent RG. My problem with drafting interior linemen so early though, it seems like it normally takes them at least a year to adjust to the pro game.

[BOTT]

From what I have read he would be a reach. Other than the mysterious draft tracker on nfl.com I haven't heard anyone put him in the same class as Cooper....in fact some now rate Cooper ahead of Warmack.

[Colts_Fan12]

I wish we could get cooper but ppl have him going before warmack so we could trade down or take a OLB or DE then a guard in the 3rd

[Godeepreggie]

Warford would be great at 24 it doesn't make sense we could get him in the 2 round but would have to say I wouldn't complain if we did he is gonna be very good

We could get him in the second round......if we had a second round pick.

For what it's worth,  ESPN.com has Warford with a low 2nd round grade.

 

Frankly,  I think the NFL.com grade is extremely embarrassing.    I simply don't think it's defensible...

 

Warford, better than Cooper?     Sorry,  other than that grade from NFL.com,  I'm not hearing/reading/seeing anything like that anywhere else.

 

I'm hoping NFL.com does one last sweep of grades and does some tightening up....   there are a few grades that just jump off the page as being.....   well....   nonsense,  and I think that's one of them.

 

In the interest of full disclosure....   I really like Warford...  I really do....   I like him enough that if we trade back into the 2nd round,  he'd be among my target players for the top of the 2nd round.    Seriously.    I like him that much.

 

But,  better than Cooper....?     No.  Just no.

[Manning1887]

I agree that Warford would NOT be a good first round pick. We need to trade down if he is the target.

 

I just have a feeling we are going to take Jesse Williams from Alabama if he is there. I read something about the Colts being interested in him during his pro day and how he can play nose or end in a 3/4. His athleticism for his size is apparently somewhat similar to Haloti Ngata. I just have a feeling that is who they want.

I agree with NCF, If we trade into the 2nd round then get him but if we stand pat in the 1st then there are just to many pass rushers to pass up not to mention what if Rhodes falls to us, I think come draft day the sooner Warmack goes the sooner Cooper follows suit

[Colts_Fan12]

I wouldn't mind him but trade down and get him or stay at 24 get a D player then maybe get winters in the 3rd or we could trade back grab warford and then get jones in the 3rd to play center our o line would be alot better

[Gavin]

Doubt we draft Williams even though I like him, We have Francois and I doubt they are going to put him on the bench for what he is making, Personally I would have rather have drafted Williams, Watching Francois there is no doubt he has speed but he is constantly late off the snap and not good at disengaging from blocks unless he uses that speed to go around a block, he shows flashes here and there , I came away impressed with a few plays he made vs Arizona last year in week 17

[coltsfanatic24]

Warford is a reach he's not on the level of Warmack and Cooper who dominated vs the top competition. We can get a really good guard in the 3rd like Dallas Thomas or Travis Frederick. We should draft the best available defensive player outside of NT with our 1st.

[Hans Moleman]

I have Warford rated below Winters (Winters is a more balanced OG than Warford - he still gives us great size and power at the position, with much better movement and athleticism), and would be happy with either. Just not at 24. 

 

Brian Winters hasn't gotten the hype Warmack, Cooper, and Warford have, but keep an eye out for him come draft day. Perfect fit in our power scheme and there's a decent chance he's there with our 3rd rounder.

[Hans Moleman]

I agree with NCF, If we trade into the 2nd round then get him but if we stand pat in the 1st then there are just to many pass rushers to pass up not to mention what if Rhodes falls to us, I think come draft day the sooner Warmack goes the sooner Cooper follows suit

 

Don't be shocked if Cooper goes first. More scheme and positional versatility, more athletic. Warmack's a prototype for a team that runs a power scheme, but I have no doubt other teams have Cooper rated higher.

Williams,we need someone to wreck havoc inside.
