I feel six only because Brazill is solid on Special Teams.  He could do KO returns and is excellent in coverage.  Whalen could field punts...he did well last year.

 

We still have a draft to go with some good WRs in our range.  These may not be the only names.  I am thinking now we snag Moncrief at sometime to mould.  Just a gut.

I feel we might go safety with our first pick, but it's possible they go for Moncrief.  I wouldn't like for them to add another WR though to be honest.

No with a caveat

I did see someone put out a Mock roster with 6 but left Muamba and Adongo off and that won't happen

The only way I see the Colts draft a WR or carry 6 if #6 is a return specialist

My 5 are Wayne, Hilton, Nicks, Rogers, and Whalen

I think they will go with 6. Wayne, Hilton, Nicks, Rogers,Brazill, and then have Griff Whalen returning punts.

I agree, barring injury #6 doesn't see the field. If Whalen continues to impress returning punts and Rogers continues to show he's progressing, then Brazil would be odd man out.

I feel Moncrief because of his size and potential...he could start on the practice squad for injuries...or make the roster if ready.

Brazill is not going anywhere PT.  His two TD game late in the season showed he was maturing in routes, and also showed the inner strength to get to the pylon!  He and Rodgers are X factors....I like their skill set big time.

Rogers has too much upside. You can't cut potential number one receiver. Whalen and Brazill looked promising too, but they don't offer nearly as much as Rogers. I think we'll carry 5 WRs, and it's going to come down to Brazill or Whalen with Whalen eventually getting cut simply because Brazill is more explosive. Whalen doesn't offer big play ability.

I don't think we could put Moncrief on the practice squad, another team would definitely steal him.

Its hard to know. I think they will give Da'Rick every chance to win a spot on the roster this offseason. WORST case scenario, we put Brazil and or Whalen on the practice squad to start the year.

I expect this

Reggie

TY

Nicks

Rogers

Brazil

Whalen to ps. Sadly. I really like the griffer.

LB and Griff are not PS eligible

You may be right...I would still snag him if he fell to us...

 

Depending on how the rest of FA plays out and who is on the board I would not be against it.  I think if we wanted to stash him it might have to be on the PUP list.

I don't think he's eligible anymore. From what I'm seeing, he played in 9 games last season alone and you can only play in an accrued 6 games or be on the active 45 man roster for 9.

Yes we are talking hypothetically as always.  I would love to see a Dion Bailey or Kenny Ladler myself....just depends who the BPA is at the time by need....or simply BPA that is too good to pass up :)

I don't know, we could also put him on IR at end of training camp ... I am sure there is somewhere we could stash him.

 

A player needs to be injured to be placed on the pup list or IR (INJURED reserve). Placing a non-injured player on the pup or IR is conniving and no player worth a damn would agree to it.

Right now there is no way we take a WR with the first pick. It will either be oline or safety.

Agreed. WR is no longer a need. We're already trying to figure out how we're going to keep the players we have. Why half of this board thinks adding ANOTHER unproven WR instead of a position on need (O-line, S, CB) is a good idea is beyond me.

      Again. Notice the link. The link sends us to the article about his combine performance now, not about his diabetes, despite the quotes from April being about his diabetes. No idea what happened. It looks fishy to me.

      In this destin article today, he has a little bit of it.   https://atozsports.com/indianapolis/adonai-mitchell-colts-nfl-journey-with-type-1-diabetes/   "He's been diagnosed as a Type 1 diabetic. "You're going to have to assign him, somebody, to be next to him for his first few years because his issues are all about his diabetes and his blood sugar," said a second scout. "When his blood sugars are off, he's rude; he's abrasive, he doesn't pay attention in meetings. It's why you get really, really cruddy character reports coming out of Georiga and Texas. But when his stuff is normal, and they get him normal by lunchtime, he's out at practice high energy, a best practice player, and loves football.   He's got Garrett Wilsonesque catch radius, athelic ability, and body control. But he's almost uncoachable.    A third source said diabetes was a major concern. "You've got to look out for it an he's got to take care of himself," he said. "Every diabetic does. Theres some questions but at the end of the day he's a good player that hasn't done anything overly malicious. He's probably just immature.""       So yeah, they either changed it or something else is behind the pay wall.

      Yeah, it's on GoLongTD's site, and paywalled. But here are some relevant snippets:

      I disagree. I don't think any team is basing their draft decisions on what Bob McGinn is reporting.    The scouts that are quoted in this article (presumably) work for NFL teams. Those teams already know the opinions of these scouts, and would have done their own work on the players being discussed. If I run a team and my scout starts talking about a player having some issues, we're having a meaningful discussion about it before we put him on the board.      If any reporter puts something out that's factually incorrect, sure, he's responsible for that. In this case, a reporter is sharing the opinions of sources, and he's framing it as such. If someone wants to take that as verified fact, that's their choice, but that's probably not a good idea.

      On offense, 4 of 5 of our top receivers, 3 TE's, 1 o-lineman and our QB are unproven. So what is Ballard's rush to sign now, anything other than a young, talented prospect?  Why waste $$ on a declining good player that wants considerable guaranteed money on a multi-year deal?   Or why jump now for a decent vet?   There should be a few shots no later than final cuts for Ballard to go after  someone we like. If not, next years off season and draft should bring the final solutions.
