Toler sucks even without the injury they need a shutdown corner and I don't like the WR pick here I think the corner or S would have been better.

What do you mean? We don't need another WR? Lol we only have Wayne, Hilton, nicks, Brazil, Rodgers, and Whalen:) not to mention our two receiving TEs... Hate the WR pick we need secondary players

I think Desir can play on this level.  However I think he should be a bit faster to play in a press man scheme like ours. 

From my observations he runs in the 4.5 to 4.6 range. I still wonder if he would be able to play FS. He does have a nose

for the football.

I only think we are marginally worse at safety, but better overall on D. Corner is still a need. Especially with the uncertainty around Toler's health. Desire has athleticism in heaps, size to play press man and could become the colts #2 reciever. If the colts get Desire and some more pass rush later on I would be delighted.

I'd love it if we could take him, would have to trade up into the 4th to get him imo

 

This is a good read if any of you haven't seen it before...

From the sounds of it he is a very mature guy and would definitely fit in well in the colts locker room

I'd like to get him but I doubt it happens. Desir could even be the first guy of the board today and if not teams like the 49ers and Seattle who love that type of corner still pick early in the round.

I agree. Desir will come off the board early today. I was so disappointed when the Vikings did not select him with the #96 pick. Desir would have gone in the 1st or 2nd Rd had he gone to a Div. 1 school. I hope Houston does not take him -- they already have a top 5 defense there (with their new additions).

Thank you for sharing this article. Desir sounds like a great human being. He would fit in well with the Colts. I want him to play for my team, but we would have to give up a lot to move up.

I wonder if the Jets would trade some of their NINE remaining draft picks to select Desir.

Not much quality left on the board in terms of FS or CB.  Pretty much everyone left is a back-up/special teams pick at this point, although there is always going to be "that guy" who comes out of the late rounds and surprises everyone. This is where the scouts earn their keep.  That TRich deal really hurt, but the Colts' backs were against the wall last year, and there wasn't really anything else in sight.  Nobody expected Brown to finally have a break-out season, and who knows if he will ever have another good year.

Maybe package our 5th and LaVonn Brazil or Da'Rick (they are WR needy) to NYJ and pick up Desir early in the 4th. I think that'd be our best bet.

With all the Wide Receivers getting picked off, I wouldn't be surprised if we could trade Brazill or Brazill and a pick for our 4th rounder back from the Browns.

I was hoping for something similar....I highly doubt Desir will last much longer.

Ironic! The Browns just took him with our traded pick. But we still have Montori.

I'm telling you - Desir, Dontae Johnson, Carl Bradford, prince Shembo, Kevin Pierre Louis, Cameron Fleming, Dozier were all guys I would have liked for Colts, all gone in round 4, lots of talent in round 4

    • Colt's end of season OL Free Agents  OC Ryan Kelly OG Will Fries OC Danny Pinter OG Wesley French - RFA RG Jack Anderson LG Arlington Hambright - RFA RT Lewis Kidd - ERFA LG Josh Sills - RFA   NFL Market OL Free Agents:  LT Jackson Carman (Bengals)  LT Andrus Peat (Raiders) LT Andre Dillard (Packers) LT Walker Little (Jaguars)  LT Jaylon Moore (49ers)  LG Ben Bartch (49ers) LT/LG Saahdiq Charles (Titans)  LG Kayode Awosika (Lions) - RFA LG Nick Leverett (Patriots) OC Drew Dalman (Atlanta) OC/LG Trystan Colon (Cardinals) OC/LG Bradley Bozeman (Chargers)  OC/RT Robert Hainsey (TB Bucs)  RG/OC Nate Herbig (Steelers) RG Daniel Brunskill (Titans)  LG/RG Chandler Brewer (Jaguars) LG/RG Michael Jordan (Patriots) RT Jake Curhan (Bears) LT/RT Larry Borom (Bears)  LT/RT Chuma Edoga (Cowboys) RT Calvin Anderson (Patriots)    A few from the above mentioned wouldn't mind targeting after this season: Dalman (Atlanta) – in 2023 finished 6th best OL in zone with an 82.3 PFF grade.  Atlanta ran the most zone concepts of any team in regular season (315) where Dalman excelled earning a 90.9 run-blocking grade. Hainsey (TB Bucs) - best fit is inside zone run scheme Anderson (Patriots) – with Denver used to playing in a zone-blocking scheme Moore (49ers) – 3-year starter at Western Michigan’s shotgun, zone-based run scheme Carman (Bengals) – good fit in a zone scheme Bozeman (Chargers) – move to OC seen an improvement Brunskill (Titans) - solid backup with starter potential in his 30's Little (Jaguars) – good at reach blocking and outside zone   2025 OL Free Agents: - quick shoutout LG Isaac Seumalo (Steelers) – 2025 FA solid starter for years but the team draft Mason McCormick to be new starter in 2024 also be 32 years old in 2025.  Q. Nelson good until 2026 and will be 30 years old.  Starting guard in a zone scheme ideal. RT Thayer Munford (Raiders) – 2025 FA playing well – trade? Munford in 2022 on 432 run plays, 335 or 77. Percent were zone runs where he earned the third highest grade among the conference’s tackles with a 79.5 mark (Ohio State’s zone-heavy run scheme).  Braden Smith's contract set to expire.  Munford key replacement as an option. RT John Ojukwu (Titans) – 2024 ERFA 2025 FA? – best long-term position might be inside as a zone blocking guard.  A five-year starter for Boise State’s run heavy (60-40 run-pass) RPO based offense.
    • It's not just drop percentages.  The Colts love speed on their offense.  Jonathan Taylor was recently listed as one of the fastest players in the NFL last season.  Then the Colts drafted Anthony Gould who in 2023 Week 3 hit a top speed of 21.6 mph.  As UDFAs the Colts then brought in NC State Trent Pennix who in Week 6 clocked the fastest time by a TE at 20.6 MPH but also is a capable RB.  Colts also added QB Jason Bean (Kansas) who in Week 9 clocked an impressive 22.4 mph T5 fastest player in 2023.  Adonai Mitchell during his Combine forty reached top speed overall at 23.84 mph.  Even Pierce had been clocked running 19.82 mph which is impressive for a man his size.  Downs unfortunately wasn't able to find a good metric on but did clock a respectable Combine forty time.
    • Welcome back.   After taking a month off, you’ve returned.   I’m not sure where to start, so let’s try the night the Colts drafted Mitchell.  Late that night, you and another high profile Ballard-Hater had this conversation:  That you didn’t like CBs defense of Mitchell.  His big speech.  Why?  Because you guys agreed that “Ballard didn’t know enough about Mitchell to know if he was a good guy or not.”   Your words.     When my chin came off the floor and my eyes back in my head I thought this:   Why would you OR the fans of any team ever think that what a GM shares on draft night is all he knows?   Because it isn’t.  A GM is sharing all that he wants to share, nothing more.  But what he doesn’t share is much, much more than what he does share.  Think an iceberg;  10 percent above water,  90 percent below.   A GM knows far more than he ever shares.    And now you make this argument….   If Mitchell doesn’t work out, Ballard has left himself open to criticism.   Two words:  who cares?   A GM can’t do his job well if he’s afraid of criticism.  Do you think the Steelers care that George Pickens is totally crazy?   No.  They care he makes big plays for Pittsburgh and catches first downs and touchdowns.  Mike Tomlin deals with the crazy part in private.   A GM has to have thick skin.  Ballard clearly does.   And he doesn’t care what others think of him.  Nor should he.     So far Mitchell seems to enjoy Indy.   I think the odds are good Ballard and Steichen can handle whatever baggage the kid brings.
