ManningToCollie's Colts mock draft 2.0

[MTC]

Final Colts mock draft will be Thursday.

 

Without trade: 

 

1st Round 24th pick: Colts select Desmond Trufant, CB, Washington

 

The more I watch Desmond Trufant play, the more I think he has the potential to be an elite cornerback. He is a very athletic corner with good coverage and great against the run. Him paired up with Vontae Davis, Greg Toler, and Darius Butler will really make our secondary stronger.

 

3rd Round 86th pick: Colts select Trevardo Williams, OLB, UConn 

 

Williams excels in pass rush and that's exactly what the Colts need after departing with Dwight Freeney. Having 115 sacks in his Senior season, you can clearly tell he will bring an impact to the game. He should challenge Walden for the starting linebacker spot.

 

4th Round 121st pick: Colts select David Bahktiari, OT/OG, Colorado

 

Bahktiari is on my list for the most underrated offensive line prospects. His run blocking is great and his pass blocking is good but has some issues. Bahktiari can play both offensive tackle and offensive guard which can help us with depth. 

 

6th Round 192nd pick: Corey Fuller, WR, Virginia Tech

 

Fuller is a deep threat with some height which the Colts are lacking besides Reggie Wayne. I think he has the potential to be a very good number 2 receiver outside of Wayne. The thing I like about Fuller is his separation with corners. Similar to Reggie Wayne, he doesn't have elite speed but he is prospect to watch out for.

 

7th Round 230th pick: Ray Graham, RB, Pittsburgh

 

Yes, we have Donald Brown, Vick Ballard, and Delone Carter but we can never have enough running backs. Graham fits the scheme of a power back and could be used well for third down situations.

 

7th Round 245th pick: Earl Watford, OG, James Madison

More depths moves for our offensive line. Small school prospect who could have potential to be a starting guard.

Not too bad at all. If Trufant is available at #24, he would be difficult to pass up. I keep reading different opinions of Williams, but although he is a tad undersized at 6' 1" he has a tremendous first step and would be a significant threat in the pass rush. Bahktiari is actually ranked fairly high on Mayock's Big Board. He might be a great 4th round find.

I really like this mock, Just the one question I have is will Bakahari be there in round 4.

If Williams did have 115 sacks in his senior season I think he might get picked higher lol

I'm not sure your 5th or 7th round picks will be there,  but I think this is a very very good mock draft...

 

Nicely done!

 

Williams in the 3rd round really intrigues me.     Trufant in the 1st really excites me!

[Gavin]

Dont like Trufant in the 1st, I think we can get him in a trade down, rather go Jamar Taylor or pass rusher or Guard

 

If we go Corner in the first and pass rusher in the 3rd I'd rather go Corey Lemonier

 

I like Oscar Johnson in the 4th if we go Guard (He played LT at Louisiana Tech but is projected to play Guard to to his lack of foot speed, He started out Right Guard at Tech) 

 

 

Rather go with Chris Thompson in the 7th as well 

 

[Leon]

if we are going CB in the first id rather take DJ Hayden, or Rhodes, one of the 2 are likely to be there, i highly doubt 3 CBs will be taken before 24, and i like them better than Trufant, and who knows, a team may like Trufant ahead of those 2, i still like Hayden the best tho but love Rhodes' size

[FastStarts]

If we go CB in first round, I'd prefer a hard hitting, pressing player as Pagano is the DB-whisperer, so he could probably teach them a thing or two. 

 

Now if I am not mistaken criticism about Trufant has been his tackling ability, and from the videos posted on youtube, Gavin's Jamar Taylor looks like a really good player. He plays very aggresively and I that is what I would want for the Colts.

Along with the video I put up I'll add I dont think any of the Corners coming out are on the level of Claiborne or Janoris Jenkins BUT I  think the players I listed as guys I like at Corner (in particular I have them) have that ability in my opinion to be shut down Corners and I will even add one......Trufant but I still wouldn't take him at 24
