Colts Draft (Post Titans Win)


Recommended Posts

I still have us hopefully landing the 1st overall pick cause I think we should still have the strength of schedule in our favor even if we win 1 more game.

1st- QB Andrew Luck (Shouldnt be any hesitation here, gotta get this guy for the future and may start sooner than people think.)

2nd- DT Brandon Thompson (This guy could easily play NT for us and this is a much needed pick since the rest of the defense plays much better when we have a good DT tandem going. Adding Thompson with Drake Nevis and Antonio Johnson would make this DL very scary.)

3rd- CB Jayron Hosley (Underrated CB who has dropped a little on his stock and could flourish in our defense with pressure help from our DL.)

4th- G Lonnie Edwards (We need G help since Pollak will move to C soon when Saturday is done, and we really lack talent at G anyways.)

4th(comp for Session)- WR AJ Jenkins (Much needed depth at WR since we will probably let go of Wayne.)

There is also the possibility of the Colts trading Manning if they restructured his deal so they would then add more high draft picks to add talent to this team. If they just straight up release him they would have plenty of cap room to go out and get a guy like TE JerMichael Finley.

I love your 3rd round pick. He is not as underrated as you think though. A lot of people that keep up with the draft section and college football know he is a solid player who I think won't even sniff the 3rd round. But hey things can happen as witnessed with Prince Amukamara

Yeah I thought it was a little ironic as i saw this video and then sure enough see him in your mock.

I like this draft.

Hosley probably won't be there at the top of the 3rd, but there are many good CB prospects in this draft (if some of the underclassmen declare). Desmond Truant, Xavier Rhodes, Micah Hyde or Casey Hayward would all be a good pick.

    • Rick Venturi today on the radio said he is more of a fan of speed with corners then what Ballard has done. He said young corners have to be able to recover from mistakes. I would almost like rodgers instead of Brent’s.
    • BBZ, what do you mean when you say Brents will be successfully targeted because of his size and speed? Aren't those his good traits? 
    • Right. But we also are expected to draft a corner, So the fact that DeJean can play either position, makes me think Ballard could have his eye on him.
    • As a Ballard type player, he seems to fit the bill.  Big 10. Excels at zone coverage. Elite athlete. Special Teams standout, Good tackler. etc. Colts may be able to trade back, and still land DeJean   Considered one of the Safest picks. Seven 2024 NFL Draft Prospects Who Are Safest Bets to Succeed at Next Level https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10113875-7-2024-nfl-draft-prospects-who-are-safest-bets-to-succeed-at-next-level   DB Cooper DeJean, Iowa   A fractured fibula during a November practice tempered any excitement regarding Cooper DeJean's draft status. So he's not been in the same conversations as the class' top defensive backs, specifically Toledo's Quinyon Mitchell and Alabama's Terrion Arnold. DeJean's profile projects just as well or better than the aforementioned cornerbacks.   Three specific attributes set DeJean's floor higher than anyone else among the back end.   First, the reigning Big Ten Defensive Back of the Year presents the positional flexibility and traits to start at cornerback or safety at the professional level, with B/R's Cory Giddings highlighting his coverage skills:   "DeJean excels in zone coverage, but he's versatile enough to play man as well. He shows a smooth backpedal and the ability to keep his leverage and quick footwork with few wasted steps. Although he transitions well, there are times where DeJean hops into his breaks; allowing a step of separation.   "When in zone, DeJean does a great job of reading and reacting to the quarterback's eyes. Pairing that skill set with his route recognition, he often puts himself in good position with leverage and positioning.   "While working downfield, DeJean has the strength necessary to hand-fight with tight ends and bigger receivers, as well as the speed necessary to carry twitchier receivers downfield. He also does a very good job of locating the ball and playing through the catch point."   Second, the high school track standout is an elite athlete who captured Iowa state titles in the long jump and 100-meter dash. Many expected him to blow the doors off Lucas Oil Stadium. Unfortunately, he wasn't ready to test in Indianapolis after being cleared a few weeks earlier.   "His acceleration is incredibly fluid and super powerful," NFL combine trainer Jordan Luallen told The Athletic's Bruce Feldman last summer. "He's the best athlete I've seen in person, pound for pound."   Finally, DeJean adds significant value as an elite collegiate returner. Big Ten coaches also awarded him Return Specialist of the Year this past season. DeJean averaged 13.1 yards per punt return over the last two seasons. A top-notch contributor anywhere along the defensive backfield and on special teams will provide excellent value in the NFL.   Potential Landing Spots: Indianapolis Colts, Philadelphia Eagles    
    • He could, but I think he's way more athletic than people give him credit for and projects way better as CB. Definitely could be a good safety, but I think if we drafted him, he fits well as a boundary corner for us.
