Potential Pick ups in FA/draft


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, I thought I'd might aswell list those who I hope we can look at in FA or the Draft to fill our positions of need. This would be who I would consider so If there is someone I have left out that you may like, then please let me know. Also some of the players listed who are in the draft are under the assumption they are available or are willing to trade up if they fall a little.

 

Positions of Need:

 

Center

Safety

maybe a Guard

maybe a #2 Cornerback

maybe another pass rusher

maybe maybe a Wide receiver

 

WR

 

Jordan Matthews 

Allen Robinson 

 

Guard ( cheap options):

Shelley Smith

Garrett Reynolds

 

Center;
Evan Dietrich Smith

Brian De La Puente

Alex Mack

Travis Swanson 

Russell Bodine

Tyler Larsen

 

LB ( pass rusher or ILB):

 

Shayne Skov

Marcus Smith

 

#2 Cornerback:

 

DRC

Chris Harris

Antonio Cromartie

Walter Thurmond

Brandon Ghee

Javier Arenas

Bradley Roby

Darqueze Dennard ( if we really want to trade up)

 

Safety

 

Chris Clemons

Major Wright

Calvin Pryor

Jimmie Ward 

Craig Loston

Deone Buccanon

 

Those in bold are those I want especially but let me know what you think.

If we can somehow get Mack that's the main problem solved. Then in the draft I would hope we can get Moncrief and a safety like Ward, Bucannon, or Terrence Brooks. I have completely changed my mind on Ed Reynolds. He is probably a 4th or 5th rounder. I would also like to see us trade into the 4th and pick up a CB like Rashaad Reynolds or EJ Gaines if their still on the board.

It may just come down to BPA. With how they've drafted before I have a feeling that at #59 (if we don't trade back), the highest rated players on our board who would still be available will be:

 

-Donte Moncrief

-Tre Mason

-Keith McGill

-Kelcy Quarrels

My ideal world at OL & DB with current UFA's

 

Michael Oher @ LT  // Hugh Thornton @ LG // Alex Mack @ C // Roster Move- Anthony Costanzo @ RG // Gosder Chilerus @ RT

 

Vontea Davis CB1 // DRC CB2 // Darius Butler CB3  

 

Laron Landry FS // Major Wright SS (Since TJ Ward is gone)

There is actually so much wrong with your wish list....

1. Michael Oher (RT)

2. DRC is not a press corner

3. We would be stuck with 2 strong safety's again.

 

1. Oher would be a cheap investment, and better than our current depth at the LT position and Costanzo would dominate at G. IMO  (Oher did have a bad season this year, but he has a lot of potential) I could be wrong on this call

 

2. The only CB on our roster that is better than DRC, would be Davis. 

(I know that he's not worth the money he's asking, but he is one of the best UFA's left on the market.) 

 

- I also like Mike Jenkins in that spot 

 

3. LaRon was actually ranked #1 DB by ESPN during his run with LSU, #1 Safety by Athlon and #2 according to Sporting News at what position?

 

FS

 

- Bethea should have been re-signed....

- Wright would be a cheap investment and start at SS, move LaRon over

LaRon Landry - 7 seasons // 91 starts / 570 combined tackles / 5.5 Sacks / 41 Def / 6 Int / 10 FF / 1 TD

 

Major Wright - 4 season // 42 starts / 253 combined tackles / 0 Sacks / 18 Def / 9 Int / 3 FF / 3 TD

    • Do believe that next year's draft will have some really great defensive rushers.  My top pick right now in Round 1 would probably have to be NT/IDL Deone Walker (Kentucky).     In 2022 as a true freshman Walker finished 3rd among SEC IDL with an 80.9 pass-rushing grade.  Standing 6’6” 330 pounds he is a behemoth of a young man.  In 2022, at the age 19 he was able to easily beat/hold his own against RG O’Cyrus Torrence.  In 2023 he earned college football midseason all-America Honorable Mention.  In 2023 led all FBS IDL in pressures (51) and led the Wildcats in TFLs (12.5) and sacks (7.5) despite being routinely double-teamed. Deone can truly impact the game on all 3-downs.  According to PFF, he had an 81.7 run-defense grade in 2023.  Made 2022 college football all-America Freshman Team.  I could see him push Grover Stewart as the stater/and-or his future replacement and already an equal to an upgraded version of Stewart.  Can only imagine how nasty our defensive line would be wreaking havoc on opposing teams.    Guess while we are already on a roll looking ahead to replace some of our best players to put on a Colt's uniform, Kenny Moore's replacement might come from Sebastian Castro (Iowa).  Know it's way too early to be dreaming about the 2025 NFL draft but if Castro plays like he has been and lasts until our pick in Round 2 than would love to add him.  Like to see Castro remain in the slot but is a bit slow much like Cooper DeJean but proven.  Could see a move to FS as a possibility but will see what DeJean does this year.  Might foretell what Castro's ceiling will look like.  
    • Stanley declared for the 2024 NFL draft but unfortunately, I have been unable to find any information on him or even an UDFA status.  In 2022, he made the PFF College All-Ameria Third Team.  Young man had a knack for forcing fumbles and shown hands for the interceptions.  Had great height and weight measurements standing 6'2" and 215 pounds.  Seems like Jay fell off the grid.  Figured his he might have been on the Colts radar given his measurements and statistics.  Anybody have any additional details? 
    • I read that there were gonna be some really good defensive rushers next year like a lot of them. I’d be okay doubling down and getting another rusher to put next to latu if we could were in a spot to draft a good one.
    • You mean we aren't 32 . We must be moving up in the world.
    • What some people are failing to realize is, this incident with Caitlin is not the full reason why he is in water. It is the numerous bashing/negativity of all Indiana teams over the years and him being jerkbutt towards people in general for years that led to this. This was the one that finally broke the Camels back. Also, it was very creepy the way he came off, obvious to me anyway.    Had this been Kevin Bowen that did something similar he would not of got into as much trouble because he has a reputation of being a great guy and doesn't bad mouth everything. Get the point!
