Targets for Day 3

[Warhawk]

This should probably get a thread devoted to it.  Plus I wanted to start this to reiterate something I said in another thread.

 

We should trade up for Quinton Patton.

 

Of all the WRs in this draft, I think the guy has the best shot to be not just a pro bowler, but a hall of famer.  By a fairly wide margin.

 

OK, maybe hyperbole.  But everything I've seen this kid do screams a great NFL future.  He's the most technically proficient and flat-out natural WR I've seen come out in years.  He doesn't have the size of a Megatron, but he's got decent measurables.  Even so, his measurables aren't what impresses me, it's just every damn thing about his game.

 

I'm not going to say the J.R. word, but I really do think this guy has a great ceiling.

 

Anyway, back on topic.  Who do you really think we should target tomorrow?

[TKnight24]

Alex Okafor

[coltsguy510]

I would love to get Patton.

[Dustin]

Patton or Da'Rick Rogers.

[ALuck>RG3]

Any of the above comments would please me

[CR91]

jesse williams

[Mouthfire]

This is the point that I would not mind a WR.  3rd and 4th round is the sweet spot for WR's this year.

 

Other than that, another CB would be nice.  Maybe another DT or offensive lineman.

[coltsguy510]

1. Patton

2. Patterson

3. Jesse Williams

4. Brandon Jenkins

5. Shamarko Thomas

[James]

Players we should consider

RB: Marcus Lattimore, Stepfan Taylor, Andre Ellington

WR: Quinton Patton, Da'Rick Rogers, Chris Haper

OL: Barrett Jones, Brian Schwenke, Alvin Bailey

DL: Jesse Williams, Brandon Jenkins, Alex Okafor

OLB: Chase Thomas

CB: Jordan Poyer, Sander Commings

S: Philip Thomas, Shamarko Thomas, Duke Wlliams

[Moncrief]

Ditto on the Brandon Jenkins pick. If Hughes gets it together, we could very well have a lethal rotation

[NewEra]

1. Patton

2. Patterson

3. Jesse Williams

4. Brandon Jenkins

5. Shamarko Thomas

I like that list. Is there a Brandon and Jonathan Jenkins?

Yes please. I'm not sure I'd want to trade up for Patton, but I'd definitely take him. He's one of my favorite receiver prospects.

[NewEra]

That Rambo guy get drafted? Like to get him just so I can scream RAMBO!!

[coltsguy510]

I like that list. Is there a Brandon and Jonathan Jenkins?

j Jenkins is gone.

[Warhawk]

Players we should consider

RB: Marcus Lattimore, Stepfan Taylor, Andre Ellington

WR: Quinton Patton, Da'Rick Rogers, Chris Haper

OL: Barrett Jones, Brian Schwenke, Alvin Bailey

DL: Jesse Williams, Brandon Jenkins, Alex Okafor

OLB: Chase Thomas

CB: Jordan Poyer, Sander Commings

S: Philip Thomas, Shamarko Thomas, Duke Wlliams

 

I like Lattimore as a nice option to stash and maybe get returns on in the future.  I think we can afford to do that because we still have Brown around, and our need at RB is a future-oriented need, not a pressing present-day need.

 

I also really like Chase Thomas and Brian Schwenke, FWIW.

 

Patton is still my #1 with a bullet here, but there are other guys I do like.

[coltsguy510]

CB: Jordan Poyer, Sander Commings

S: Philip Thomas, Shamarko Thomas, Duke Wlliams

I totally forgot about Poyer. I would also like him.

[Warhawk]

Yes please. I'm not sure I'd want to trade up for Patton, but I'd definitely take him. He's one of my favorite receiver prospects.

 

Trading up in the third isn't a hugely expensive prospect.  Depending on how high you trade up you're talking swapping 4ths, plus either a 5th, 6th, OR 7th (depending on how high), and obviously future picks can be factored in.

 

Point being, though, I don't think he'll last to our pick.

[MTC]

I doubt we get Quinton Patton. Barrett Jones unlikely but possible. Jordan Poyer and Sander Commings to interesting prospects.

[iM COLTSSTRONG]

Poyer, Rambo, S. Thomas, P. Thomas, T. Simon, B. Jenkins 

[Superman]

I think there are players in every round who can make our roster, though. And Patton would be our fourth receiver, at best. I guess I'd take him for a swap in the fourth and surrender our 7th rounder, or something like that. No big deal.

 

And what really makes me hesitant is that I don't know what might happen in this draft. It's too weird already. He could last to the end of the fourth round, and I wouldn't be surprised.

Oh, yeah, I don't disagree that there are a number of solid options available, I was just saying I'm really high on this particular guy.

[Colts_Fan12]

Patton WR

Taylor RB

Lattimore RB

Rodgers WR

Thomas S

No order just hopefully one of them

[CR91]

if we take taylor we might as well rename the colts cardinal

[James]

Poyer, Rambo, S. Thomas, P. Thomas, T. Simon, B. Jenkins

No thanks to Tharold Simon. He is an immature child.

...

Former LSU cornerback Tharold Simon was arrested Thursday night for allegedly intimidating a police officer in his hometown of Eunice, La., according to KATC.com. Eunice city officials planned to proclaim Friday as “Tharold Simon Day” during a ceremony and that will go on as planned according to Eunice Mayor Rusty Moody.

A projected mid-to-late round pick, Simon allegedly failed to move his car upon the request by a police officer and according to police records, he told the officer, “I own Eunice” and “I'm gonna buy these projects and you are gonna be mine.” Simon then proceeded to leave, spinning his wheels and turning up his radio. He was charged with public intimidation, resisting an officer and unnecessary noise violation.

According to the report, Simon also told the officer that “the mayor was on his side” and that he would be fired if he wrote the ticket. Simon was released on bond.

Wow didnt know that. i liked his size.

[Warhawk]

Wow didnt know that. i liked his size.

 

One of the less heralded, but very important, draft stats is the body size : ego size ratio.

[Coltswarriors]

I think with our last 4 picks we add depth to: CB, S, ILB, RB.

[Nobody]

Alex Okafor

I know you're a Texas fan, but the last thing we need is another guy who has questions about his ability to play OLB.

[T Y Goodbye]

Patton....a definite if available at our 4th...

 

if we go RB..Jonathan Franklin or Kenjon Barner..I've been hoping we could draft any of these three...

[JWF]

CB, RB, WR or C.

[HtownColt]

Kevin Reddick, Duke Williams

[krunk]

By the time the draft ends I would like to have the following:

Safety: Duke Williams

MLB: Ty Powell or someone that can bring more athleticism than Conner and Angerer

Running Back: Ray Graham or preferably someone faster

Wide Receiver: Pick One in whatever round.

[In Luck We Trust]

Alex Okafor

im tired of hearing we need to get a " WR ". we are set at that position. I prefer another pass rusher, and the one guy that comes to mind is the one you named right there. Alex Okafor. and if he is taken before our next pick, then try to get Baccari Rambo. 

[In Luck We Trust]

who id like to see us get in the 4th round would be one of these guys...

 

Barrett Jones (anywhere on the offensive line)

Brian Schwenke ©

Alex Okafor (DE)

Jordan Poyer ( CB )

Bacarri Rambo ( FS )

Shamarko Thomas ( SS ) 

 

and with our 7th rounders

 

Miguel Maysonet  (RB out of Stony Brook)  (prob have to get him in the 6th or with our first 7th rounder)

 

and 

 

Aaron Mellette ( WR out of Elon  with the other 7th rounder. )

[In Luck We Trust]

ummm okay, is that his only offense as a college student?? he is a college kid who did something stupid. doesn't necessarily mean he is going to carry it over into the NFL....even so, NFL players get into trouble them selves for example Fred Davis, Josh Brent, Mike Vick, PLaxico Burress, Ray Lewis (even though he was not convicted). point is one mistake doesn't define someones character.

 

that being said, i still dont want him anyway 

[#18forever]

For a wr I honestly think denard Robinson would be a good pick, he'll also be a good PR/KR

[NewColtsFan]

I have 32 names for Day 3 targets,  all in the 4th and 5th rounds.   I expect the Colts to make a trade to acquire a 5th round pick.

 

Having used our first two picks on the pass rush and the OL,  I have the next picks targeting making the team more explosive either in scoring, or trying to prevent a score.    Certain positions I don't have anyone.  Even some with very good grades.  Taking them would, IMO,  be redundant at this point.  We can target certain positions, and I think we will.

 

My hunch is we'll take the best defensive back in R4 and the best RB or WR in R5.

 

So....

 

RB's       (10)                                       WR's     (9)

 

Ellington    4                                        Patton     4

Franklin     4                                        Rogers    4

Gilleslie     5                                        Swope     5

Lattimore   5                                       Boyce      5

Maysonet  5                                        Harper    5

Taylor       5                                         King        5

Randle      5                                        Mellette   5

Johnson   5                                         Hamilton 5

Barner      5

 

ILB     (1)                                             DE     (2)

 

N. Johnson   4                                     Gholston   5

                                                            Goodman  5

 

CB    (5)                                               S     (5)

 

BW Webb         4                                 P. Thomas  4                        

S.  Commings   4                                 B. Rambo   4

M. Anthony       5                                 D. Williams  4

M. Hyde            5                                 E. Wolff       4

B. McGee         5                                 S. Thomas  5

Dont forget Poyer, Reddick, Williams, and Jenkins.

[NewColtsFan]

Dont forget Poyer, Reddick, Williams, and Jenkins.

 

Poyer is a zone corner...   I don't think he's a scheme fit...

 

Reddick would be lower on my list, and I've already got 10 RB's...

 

I don't know who Williams is...   I'll try to figure that one out...

 

And Jenkins would be another OLB.    And I think we'll pass on them in R's 4 and 5.

 

Hope that clarifies....
