holy crap i loved how you put it that would be great draft our defense would be rank 1

[PrincetonTiger]

Not bad but why 2 ILBs?

[BOTT]

Two ILB....and one that is 266 lbs. That makes no sense.

[MTC]

Woah, five to eight draft picks?

[danlhart87]

There's 2 trade downs. 2 ILB cause Colts let Angerer and Conner walk

[BProland85]

Here is mine...

 

Round 2 Pick 26: Louchiez Purifoy, CB, Florida (A)
Round 3 Pick 32 (K.C.): Jarvis Landry, WR, LSU (A)
Round 4 Pick 32 (K.C.): Deandre Coleman, DT, California (A)
Round 5 Pick 26: Jonathan Brown, OLB, Illinois (A)
Round 5 Pick 32 (K.C.): Rashad Greene, WR, Florida State (A)
Round 6 Pick 26: Marquis Flowers, OLB, Arizona (B)
Round 7 Pick 12: Antonio Andrews, RB, Western Kentucky (B-)

 

Love getting Purifoy with our 2nd, don't think it will happen but I can dream. What a secondary we would have with him and Davis as our starters. Toler has a little of an issue staying healthy.

 

We resign the obvious players we need to resign(Davis, McAfee, Bethea, etc.)

 

We sign C Alex Mack is my obvious free agency signing. Others I will come up with when we are closer to free agency.

[arkana04]

I love Skov and Borland if we can get any of those two i would be very happy about ILB for the future.

I like Skov but rather have Borland by a long shot

That is extreme drafting for need. Plus, who wants a to spend a 2nd rounder on a ILB that can't cover.

[coltsfanatic24]

Wouldn't take 2 ILB's when Freeman is already a starter. Skov and Jackson both are slow and can't cover. Yawin Smallwood or A.J Johnson would be a better fit for the defense. Both are athletic and is good vs run and pass.

please stop using this slow argument. 

 

skov doesnt rely on speed the way he plays football he is rangy and has football smarts you cannot teach.

Stanford plays in a zone system similar to Steerlers, Skov isn't fast or athletic enough to play man coverage. The Colts run 3-4 man  90% of the time he won't be able to play in the system. That's why Angerer struggles because he's just too slow, Skov would be worse.

do we seriously not have a pick till the third round or did you trade in the simulator?

[NewColtsFan]

He traded in the simulator.   We do have a 2nd round pick and a 3rd round pick.

 

But we've traded our #1 (Richardson)  our #4 (Montori Hughes) and I'm not sure about our 6 and 7?   We may have traded them, but we may have gained some back in other trades?    Just not sure about those two late picks......

ok good. I think the best way to go about in the draft is to draft a DT or a DE in the second round. We just can not stop the run what so ever. Once we're able to hold teams to around 100 or less, then our talented secondary can really elevate their game, and BAM, top 10 defense. Offensive line should be fixed through free agency.

A large part of our problems center around our Linebackers not being able to hold contain

But we need to get a DT or DE that can get to the backfield and get some TFL's, and get pressure on the QB. Our inside pass rush is non existent.

[ColtsBTM12]

I don't think they resign Bethae, he hasn't been playing that great.

None of the DBs have played well lately.

In my opinion Manusky does a poor job of using his personel to our advantage

Not sure what you want that Manusky is not doing?     Can you be more specific?

And remember, Pagano is a D-coach by trade,  so if Manusky is misusing his personnel,  one would think Pagano would say something........

[danlhart87]

It is quite simple

If Bethea and Davis are kept then the draft will consist of OL DL ILB WR and maybe DB depth later

Its what he has done not necessarily what he has not done its what he has done, Playing Greg Toler 10 yards off Mike Wallace inside the 20, 9:49 1st Quarter vs Miami.

Matching up a Linebacker on a wr on a couple instances

I dont feel like he disguises his blitzes well (shows it to early)

Why would we spend a draft pick on a kicker if we are re-signing Vinateri?

[GoColtsGo5150]

Thanks for pointing, didn't realise until you said, in which case short of AV being a kicking coach to any kicker we draft,like John Carney was to Garrett Hartley in New Orleans.

[John Dee]

This D is OVERACHIEVING IF ANYTHING.

 

Mathis, Davis,Landry, and Toler are the ONLY play makers on this entire D.   

 

When all are in the game the Colts have been very good.    But they are not all healthy.  I have no Idea what Gavin is talking about.
