Danny Shelton?

[NewEra]

What are the chances of him dropping to us? I was looking and they have him as top 25 but I think he would go high. Dude sounds like a flat out game changer at the position.

[Track Guy]

Chances are nearly none.

[weslo1812]

If he were to slip past 15 Id be shocked. Id love to get him...but chances are extremely slim!!

[NewEra]

I was thinking the same thing. They had him top 25. I was thinking more like top 10-15

[backshoulderfade]

Shelton? He would be great but Jordan Phillips would come here and be a beast.

[COLTS449]

Shelton??? I've seen newer mocks that have him dropping to around 12-15 for some reason. We'd definitely have to trade up, but if he falls out of the top 10, I think we should trade up for him.

[rock8591]

There's a decent chance, I have a feeling his 5.62 40-yard-dash will drop him a few spots, maybe 5 spots or so.

[RealityIsLuck]

Shelton* 

And he's a monster. Very small chance he slips past Chicago at 7.. If he does though there is absolutely no way he falls past CLE at 12.

You really, really don't want to trade up.    Pretty much not for anyone.

 

The price is really, really expensive and the Colts have way, way too many needs.

Even if he drops 5 sports or so,  that drops him all the way to what?    15? 

 

We're at 29,  light years away.      You call that a "decent chance"

 

The chance may not be zero,  but it's not much higher than that.

We most likely wont trade up too far, but I have a feeling we'll trade up a couple spots to grab Phillips, seeing as he'll be the best DT within our reach.

[Clem-Dog]

Stay put or trade down. A lot of mock drafts have him going 7th to Chicago.

Regardless, there are many promising DL prospects and I think one will definitely be available at 29 (Phillips, Goldman, Armstead, Dupree, Brown).

[BProland85]

At this point the colts D-line is looking pretty weak. I would love either armstead or Phillips as the 1st round pick.

[Dustin]

I wouldn't be surprised if he was there at 29. He doesn't have the film or athletic upside to be a high first rounder.

Danny Shelton?

 

You wouldn't be surprised if he was there are 29?

 

Are we talking about the same guy?

Yes, I guess I should clarify. 

 

I feel like he's the annual guy who gets overrated by the media, but the NFL probably isn't that high on. Honestly, his tape is OK and I feel like people expected him to test much better than he did. Add in that he plays a low value position, and a slide really wouldn't shock me. Him also going top 10 wouldn't shock me either.

Teddy Bridgwater Syndrome?

[Dustin]

Teddy Bridgwater Syndrome?

 

Yeah pretty much. Though I think they just over-thought Teddy. Like they were looking for things wrong with him even though he had fantastic tape. 

[SteelCityColt]

Werner was very similar at one point in the pre-draft process.. the mocks that had him going #1 in some cases. 

 

-edit- I will add these were mocks on B/R

After Shelton's performance at the combine there's no way he drops to Indy at #29.  I love the guy and think he'd be perhaps the best defensive impact player we could get.  If he were to fall past #15 it would be tempting but it would still cost both a 1st and 2nd round pick.  Wait it out and take the best player available at the time... or better yet, trade down and accumulate more picks.

[MTC]

No chance unless we trade up.

?? What did he do at the combine to solidify his spot? If anything, the combine would be a big reason he was available at 29.

Exactly what I was thinking...

[Wesk7]

Let's just get Eddie Goldman at 29 and move on to round 2.

[krunk]

Something about Shelton I like.  Very competitive spirit I noticed at the combine.

I'm not screaming for him, but if the Colts take him I could live with it.  I think he'll do well

[krunk]

I won't put it out of the realm of possibility that Shelton will drop. I could see it happening

[krunk]

Today, however, ESPN's Mike Wells reported that, "the Colts were never in the running for Wilfork."  And here's what Wells says was the reason why: "because they're optimistic about Josh Chapman, Montori Hughes, Zach Kerr and Kelcy Quarles at defensive tackle."  Wells notes that the Colts are most interested in adding another starting safety and depth at the inside linebacker position - both of which certainly are big needs too.

 

The confidence in the depth at defensive line was the same reason why the team didn't go after Terrance Knighton or Nick Fairley, Wells had previously said.

The more I see this type of stuff repeatedly being said it makes me think the Colts won't be using many of our top picks on D lineman.

[krunk]

We may focus more on LBs,OL, S, RB.  I still think we'll pick up a DL though

[Dark Superman]

We would be foolish to trade up with the amount of holes we have.

[NewEra]

Unless someone falls looks like we won't be addressing Dline

When this next season is over, you won't need me to say "I told you so"... you'll just know.
