2. Malcolm Brown, Texas

3.Danny Shelton, Washington

4. Carl Davis, Iowa

Arik Armstead DT Oregon

Arik Armstead DT Oregon

 

I'm starting to really like Armstead too.

[Colts_Fan12]

Arik Armstead DT Oregon

where would we play him at the REdding role? I like him too

[wig]

For everyone wanting Armstead. . . Beware that he could be an absolute beast. . . But, he spent a lot of his career as a non-factor because of small injuries.

[wig]

where would we play him at the REdding role? I like him too

Yes, his ideal position is the 3 tech.

[Dustin]

Yep. 5-tech.

[Gavin]

He can play 3 or 5 or 4 or 4i or 2 or 2i....Dudes is versatile, Play recognition will be key but he is versatile

I believe Wig is an Oregon fan/follower.    I'd listen to him.

 

Armstead passes the eyeball test like few athletes you'll ever see.   He'll win the underwear olympics at the combine.   Coaches and scouts will see him in his shorts and fall in love -- seriously!

 

But on the field -- while he can be a force -- he often isn't.

 

Some scouts call that.....    "Looks like Tarzan, but plays like Jane."

 

I don't think that (A) Armstead will fall to 29...  too many other teams will want him.   But (B) I don't think we can risk taking him, because there's a good chance he doesn't pan out, and we've already blown 2 of our 3 first round picks.    I think we need someone more reliable and likely to be a good solid player.     I don't think we can afford to gamble and fail again.

 

Just my own view of things...    and I like Armstead....  (but only to a point...)

[Defjamz26]

Yep. 5-tech.

Alot of people compare him to Calais Campbell who plays the same position for the Cardinals. I've got my eye on him as well. Developmental guy, but his ceiling is unreal.

I'm a season ticket holder. Don't get me wrong, he's a savage when he's healthy and on his game. He played basketball and mainly offensive line in high school. Most people thought it was foolish to play defense in college, and some still do. He continued to play basketball his freshman year at Oregon, so he's only been playing on the DL full-time for two years. Both years he got nicked up.

DeForest Buckner is the guy I want, next year. They came in together and played as true freshman, but Buckner has been more productive throughout. Both are athletic and powerful 34 DEs.

[wig]

Yep. 5-tech.

Yeah, I typoed.

Melvin Gordon III.

 

Dickerson, Faulk, James....... The Colts deserve a new Franchise Back.

[AKFlame]

Armstead reminds me a little to much of Dion Jordan.. physical freak in college who may not perform as a pro

Any chance CB Trae Waynes falls to 29?

I know he is in that late teens-early 20s range

[Track Guy]

Couple O-line guys I like aside from those listed...

 

Jake Fisher, OT (2nd)

Shaq Mason, C (4th - 5th maybe?)

[Deathiltis]

Melvin Gordon III.

Dickerson, Faulk, James....... The Colts deserve a new Franchise Back.

Personal opinion but I think without a good Offensive line, as goes for most RBs, Melvin Gordon won't ever be considered a "franchise" RB. He's on my list of fool's gold.

[GOCOLTS_ROLLTIDE]

not trying to be a homer.. but we need to trade up and take landon collins from bama his style is exactly what we need to go with adams, and vonte

He has very suspect coverage skills though.

[backshoulderfade]

If we get one of these players I will be happy;

Jordan Phillips

Eric Kendricks

Eli Harold

Erik Armstead

Erick Flowers

Or if there is any big fallers, I obviously wouldn't be mad!

Agreed, but I believe Colts cant afford to miss on another developmental pick, lets get a playmaker.
