Colts Free Agency and Mock Draft (post Jackson arrest)

[BProland85]

I think we can all agree ILB is a big need along with front 7 help in general on the defense. This draft and free agency helps with that along with getting key pieces elsewhere...

 

Free agency

 

Colts resign obvious players

Colts cuts: Laron Landry, D'Qwell Jackson, Trent Richardson, Donald Thomas, and restructure deals with RJF, Cherilus, and Walden to make them more cap friendly next season.

Retired Players: None (Reggie and Cory agree to come back for 1 more year, not costing much against cap)

 

Colts sign free agents: NT Dan Williams, S Marcus Gilchrist, S Bernard Pollard

 

Draft

 

Indy trades down with Washington for their 2, 3

Indy then trades down with San Fran for their 2, 3

 

Round 2 Pick 14 (S.F.): Eric Kendricks, ILB/OLB, UCLA (A)

Dqwell isn't getting cut for that.

And I hate to say it, but as of now Reggie Wayne will only slow down the development and PT from the young receivers.

Saw the other day that Wayne played one more snap than TY Hilton this past year even with missing a game

What is the point of trading down in a mock draft? There's no way the Colts would even get those picks in real life either. It just invalidates the whole post.

Trading down from 29 would give us an extra 3rd at best. No way we get 2 3rds.

I 100% agree. As soon as I see a trade it ruins the mock draft. But people still do it a million times every year.

Agreed. It's just not realistic.

And I highly doubt Washington will be trading up again right after the ridiculous RG3 trade.

Ha!  If we sign Bernard Pollard, we should only play him against the Patriots.  He always seems to wreck them in some way.

we need an ILB with or without dqwell

The Colts need Linebackers that are mean and nasty on the field. Not to pizza delivery guys
