He has us trading our 1 for the Jets 2 and 3

[twfish]

He has us trading our 1 for the Jets 2 and 3

Ahhh didnt pay close enough attention

[esmort]

If people are going to include trade downs I think it would be helpful to see the players and reasoning that these teams are trading up for instead of just these random unrealistic trades.

[Defjamz26]

I'm guessing in this scenario we also trade away our 2nd as well? Which is too much trading down for me. I think the Colts need to land a DE, DT, and Safety in the first three rounds. ILB too if one of the 3 good ILBs fall.

Alternate version to this...

 

Instead of signing Knowshon Moreno, Indy signs C Stefen Wisneiski from Oakland to be the starting center.

 

Round 2 Pick 7 (CHI): Michael Bennett, DT, Ohio State (B+)
Round 2 Pick 25: Eric Kendricks, ILB, UCLA (C+)
Round 3 Pick 7 (CHI): Anthony Harris, SS, Virginia (A)
Round 3 Pick 24: Jake Fisher, OT, Oregon (A-)
Round 3 Pick 28 (DAL): Todd Gurley, RB, Georgia (A)
Round 4 Pick 27: Adrian Amos, FS, Penn State (B+)
Round 5 Pick 26: Ladarius Gunter, CB, Miami (Fla.) (A)
Round 6 Pick 25: Phillip Dorsett, WR, Miami (Fla.) (A)
Round 6 Pick 31: Jamison Crowder, WR, Duke (B-)

Round 6 Pick 31: Jamison Crowder, WR, Duke (B-)

Only problem with these for me is....

I think we get a guard earlier in draft.

Also Gurley won't be available in 3rd round.

Other than that not bad!

I thought Bennett announced he was going back to school....

 

And I don't think Fisher lasts until round three, and Gurley definitely won't last that long...

[HeSoColt]

I want Anthony Harris more than you can imagine!!!!!!

[akcolt]

I love Harris too I'm hoping one of the O Lineman fall to us in the first no trades would love to come away from the first 2 days with

Collins

Perryman

Harris

I'd like to see us grab Helu in FA should be reasonable think he really fits our O

[rock8591]

1 - Lael Collins or Ereck Flowers

2 - Denzel Perryman

3 - Shaq Thompson

4 - 1 more OL, LB, or S

5 - RB

That would be incredible to get those 3 guys rounds 1-3.

 

Here is my updated draft...

 

Round 2 Pick 9 (STL): Michael Bennett, DT, Ohio State (A-)

Round 2 Pick 27: Anthony Harris, SS, Virginia (B+)

Round 3 Pick 12 (MINN): Eric Kendricks, ILB, UCLA (B)

Round 3 Pick 27: Jay Ajayi, RB, Boise State (A)

Round 4 Pick 6 (WASH): Jake Fisher, OT, Oregon (A)

Round 4 Pick 27: Ladarius Gunter, CB, Miami (Fla.) (A-)

Round 5 Pick 9 (STL): Stefon Diggs, WR, Maryland (A)

Round 5 Pick 27: Titus Davis, WR, Central Michigan (A)

Round 6 Pick 31: Daryl Williams, OT, Oklahoma ©

 

I'm really warming up to Jay Ajayi and with this draft all we need is signing a free agent OLB like Brandon Graham, another FS, and maybe another rotational NT. Fisher could play RG until 2016 when he replaces Cherilus as the RT or we draft another RT.
