[HtownColt]

I really like Duke Williams...........and Christine Michael as far as running backs go

[HtownColt]

WR Quintin Patton had an individual workout with us as well, I would assume that would count as net with

[arkana04]

lot of no name small college guys

[LockeDown]

lot of no name small college guys

 

That's our GM.

[Nobody]

We love Lane Johnson so much that we interviewed him twice?

[Gavin]

The following players from that list have highlights on Youtube

 

1.Capasso

2.Cherrington

3.Fuller

4.Ray Graham

5.Christine Micheal (I really like what I saw from him, shifty runner who has the speed to get to the edge but can power in through  the as well as has as react fast to holes opening, My opinion-He'd put Carter out the door, Micheal has had to share carries with 2-3 other Backs at Texas A&M but, Bit of a Vick Ballrd type with more speed to get to the outside on my opinion

6.Thomas of course

7.Powell

8.Duke Williams(Better at playing up at the LOS then he is in coverage)

9.Marqueis Gray

10.Lane Johnson

11.Vance Mcdonald(Does both blocking and receiving well in my opinion, can play out in the slot as well although his hands are a little suspect, 2012 game vs Louisiana Tech game)

12.Earl Watford

13.Sylvester Williams

 

12.

[arkana04]

sorry if this is a stupid question but what does (COM) (EW) and all that mean?

[GoColtsGo5150]

I would actually take this list of players quite lightly I mean dont get me wrong, I love some of the names on this list ( like Sylvester Williams) but after much digging I found that we don't draft many ( if any) of the players we met with.

 

 

Georgia tackle/guard Cordy Glenn,

Oklahoma safety Markelle Martin

, North Alabama cornerback Janoris Jenkins,

Arkansas defensive end Jake Bequette,

Oklahoma State quarterback Brandon Weeden

 LSU tight end Deangelo Peterson,

Michigan State tight end Brian Linthicum,

Ohio State center Mike Brewster,

 Arkansas wide receiver Joe Adams,

 

All I'm saying is, when it comes to the draft, it might not likely be those on the list Grigs will draft

[Archer]

(COM) would mean we met with them at the Combine.  (EW) would mean we met them at the East-West Shrine Game.  (SR) is Senior Bowl, and (PRO) means Pro Day.

[BrentMc11]

I also thought we met with Jesse Williams at Alabama's Pro Day.......via a Chappell blog....does anyone remember that?  Does anyone care.....can ya hear me now?    

[coltsfanatic24]

It's a smoke screen i don't think will draft any of those players.

[Valpo2004]

It's a smoke screen i don't think will draft any of those players.

 

We might, but they might be drafted in the late rounds in attempts to get value picks.  I don't see any names on there I recognize as players who have potential to be drafted in the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd rounds.  

[HtownColt]

@TribStarTJames: Nevada safety Michael Williams is scheduled to visit with the Colts according to his agent.

@TribStarTJames: Nevada safety Michael Williams has already had a private workout for a indy officials according to his agent.

This tweet was like 10min ago Aka Duke Williams...sounds like he is meeting with us again, I like him could be our long term solution at SS especially with the durability concerns Landry brings

[HtownColt]

@mchappell51: For what it's worth, agent says Eastern Kentucky WR Tyrone Goard had private workout with #colts.

We did have meetings/visits with Luck, Hilton and Harnish last year, though.

[Harrison4Lyfe]

Lane Johnson Falling to us would be very good

@mchappell51: #colts bringing in Valdosta St. G Edmund Kugbila in for a visit early next week.

Nice find,  HTown....

 

Both NFL.com and ESPN.com give Kugbila a solid mid-round grade...   4-5 round?

 

Here's his NFL.com bio....    not overly detailed,  but still interesting...

More along the lines of potentially being Mr. Irrelevant this year

Perhaps the two most respected websites give the guy a mid-round grade....    and you proclaim he might be a candidate for Mr. Irrelevant....

 

Care to elaborate?

I kinda did......52.0 grade with 50.0 being the lowest draftable grade, Not a sure fire Mr. Irrelevent but he is certainly in the running

[HtownColt]

@mchappell51: @TonyPauline of http://t.co/Qlc64uMUEa reporting Alabama CB Dee Milliner, UCLA CB Sheldon Price visiting #colts today.

Due dilligence it seems. I can't see anyway Milliner is there at 24.

Yeah, what's with that...we get Mr.Irrelevant for 2 straight years?

[CanuckColt]

Due dilligence it seems. I can't see anyway Milliner is there at 24.

True....but we might see WR Cordarrelle Patterson there at 24 the way he seems to be dropping lately.

I would love that. 

[CanuckColt]

I would love that. 

I dunno...current thinking is that he might be a 'project' instead of 'NFL ready'.

He's raw no doubt, but this dude is explosive with the ball in his hands. He seems like an un-polished version of Julio Jones to me. I think that's his ceiling. We also have one of the best route-running receivers in the league to help coach him up.

[HtownColt]

Here is a player we just signed from Army.

Colts signed OLB Josh McNary.

McNary is Army’s all-time leader in sacks, but a two-year commitment to the Army prevented a team from drafting him in 2011. A strong showing at last week's Super Regional Combine earned him a chance with the Colts. He's a long-shot for a roster spot. Apr 10 - 4:55 PM

You should start a thread on it.

nice find HTown.

 

What are his measurables

[FalseStart]

Thus far in FA

 

Def: LB, LB, LB, CB, CB, CB, DT, DT, DE, SS (~10)

OFF: QB, WR, WR, G, OT, FB (~5)

 

Will the draft balance the FA acquisition on Defense?

 

Will the draft become more offensive minded?
