Possible mid to late round draft prospects

[#BringBobBack]

i have researched a few prospects for the draft that i think might be worth a look in the later rounds what are your opinions on these players

 

1. Rob Branchflower TE UMass - i like his potential as a decent run blocker and 3rd TE his profile http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/rob-blanchflower?id=2543728

 

2.Antonio Richardson OT Tenn - not sure when he might get selected but i think he would be a wise choice in the 3rd round if he's there solid physical tackle http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/antonio-richardson?id=2543508

 

3.Will Clarke DE WVU - could be a great pickup to replace Redding he seems to have great ability to shred a block and get some pressure thats what we need on this defense pass rushhttp://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/will-clarke?id=2543881

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

No TE. I'd rather try and find a late gem at a position of need.

i would love if we take him in 3rd 

[#BringBobBack]

i like branchflower's potential as the 3rd TE behind Allen and Fleener i think he would be a solid run blocker to help get some holes open for our runners id take him in the 6th or 7th round if he goes undrafted id nab him up and sit him on the practice squad just my thought

NO OFFENCE PLAYERS UNTIL adleast round 5 we need to address ILB CB and DE/DT

a guard like cyril richardson

 

For what it's worth,  Richardson had a very, very poor Senior Bowl week...

 

Looked very out of shape, very sloppy and did very poorly in the drills against competition...

 

I don't know how he did at the Combine Saturday,  but I'd say his stock is slipping....

Some will also shoot up the draft boards with a solid Combine, I expect several players to actually

[USAFHoosier]

During the combine yesterday they stated on NFLN that Tiny might fall because of some injury.  Some said he may have to sit out a year and some said he was a first round lock.  They didn't elaborate on the injury so will have to wait and see when the news comes out.  If he is healthy Tiny is a first rounder, Vol fan bias of course.

And some good players will fall with a bad combine(like Allen).

I only watched part of it, but he didn't have a good jjump. About 7 feet, which was the lowest.

He could sub in for injury, but Luck used a two-TE set in college, and that worked really well. I can't see Branchflower ever getting in the rotation.

[coltsfanatic24]

It happens every combine, some good players will fall to us.

 

And some good players will fall with a bad combine(like Allen).

[James Harden]

Michael Sam will be available to us in the 3rd round

[IndyScribe]

Michael Sam will be available to us in the 3rd round

I'd rather take him in the 5th.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT PEOPLE SHOULD BE SAYING. Why are all of you worried about our offence, when our defensive needs are FAR greater. Defence wins championships. SMH ... DE/DT, ILB, CB.

Its silly to make absolute (capitalized) statements like that.  We definitely have offensive needs as well, we also don't know who or which positions might fall to us (maybe a great offensive player, we can't pass on), and we don't know which positions we will fill through FA (which could play into how we draft).

[Superman]

RB: Storm Johnson, James White, Jerick McKinnon

FB: Gator Hoskins, Ryan Hewitt

TE/Hback: Crockett Gilmore, Trey Burton, AC Leonard, Xavier Grimble, Jacob Pederson

WR: Cody Hoffman, Kevin Norwood, Jeff Janis, Dri Archer

OL: Michael Schofield, Matt Patchan, Dakota Dozier

DL: Deandre Coleman, Jay Bromley, Bruce Gaston

ILB: Preston Brown, Andrew Jackson, Avery Williamson, Chris Young

OLB: Prince Shembo, Devon Kennard, Tyler Starr

CB: Walt Aikens, Aaron Colvin (?), Carrington Byndom

S: Alden Darby, Marqueston Huff

 

Those are the guys that I've looked at recently that should probably be late 4th rounders to UDFAs. I'd like to have any of them somewhere in that range.

i was very impressed by aaron donald not sure if he fits our scheme or if he'll even be on the board but i would draft either him or will clarke for DL

I think Dakota Dozier will go higher than the 4th.  I like a lot of these guys as well.  Colvin may be my favorite late round CB.  And I've said it in other threads, but Howard Jones is another guy I like if it were later in teh draft.
