Round 1 (29): EDGE Danielle Hunter, LSU - From where projections stand right now -- most of which obviously won’t come true -- there are not many edge rushers available in the late first round. This pick came down to Hunter and Eli Harold. I received a lot of jokes saying the Colts will target the most unathletic edge player in this spot. We have seen teams try to overcorrect on the athletic spectrum in the past, see the Steelers in 2014. Hunter is an outstanding athlete who is a solid run defender, but he has zero intent when rushing the passer. It is only a feeling, but I suspect coaches and evaluators will want to work with what Hunter offers.

 

Round 2 (61): SS Jaquiski Tartt, Stamford - Some will say “Tartt can be drafted in the fourth round.” Can he? Do we know he makes it that long? If Landon Collins is available in the first, I bet the Colts make that pick. I bet Tartt is selected earlier than expected due to his big-hitting play style.

 

Round 3 (93): RB David Cobb, Minnesota - A personal favorite. Cobb will be an awesome long term replacement for Frank Goreand offers somewhat similar traits in terms of beating first contact. He is also comfortable as a receiver. A Combine quad pull, which limited his workouts, could keep him on the board. Yes, something that minor in this deep running back class.

 

Round 4 (128): T Rob Havenstein, Wisconsin - The Badgers consistently ran behind Havenstein’s side of the line. The right tackle gets wide with his punch which results in losses in pass pro, but he does have strength in the running game.

 

Round 5 (165): S Kurtis Drummond, Michigan State - Many project Drummond to free safety. I never feel comfortable with safety evaluations. Drummond did play in an aggressive defense that asked him to take reliable angles with good timing.

 

Round 6 (204): DT Joey Mbu, Houston - Mbu is all effort and little athleticism. I really like Josh Chapman and Zach Kerr, but this would be nice depth.

 

Round 6 (206): LB Junior Sylvestre, Toledo - Sylvestre could be seen as an “undersized” linebacker when compared to traditional standards. He compensates for the size with athleticism, something the Colts could use behind their starters.

 

Round 6 (244): Terrance Magee, LSU - Passing-down specialist. Magee might not be a special athlete, but he has a foundation in pass protection and has flashed receiving skills.

 

Round 6 (255): WR Chris Harper, Cal - A Combine snub. Harper left school early and is more fluid than explosive. His production dropped during his final season.

      Chris Ballard on Pat McAfee Show about the draft

      By Restinpeacesweetchloe · Posted

      There won’t be anyone to sign if they want that long. But they will probably see what happens in OTA. Personally I don’t think colts have a time line. They are on diggs and Simmons schedule. It’s up to them when they feel like signing.

      Colts select Adonai Mitchell WR Texas (Merged)

      By Two_pound · Posted

      I watched the Kansas St.-Texas game from 2023 today and Mitchell was outstanding in that one. One long td(47 yards), another long reception(37 yards) and he had excellent blocks on CJ Baxters' 47 yard td run and two other excellent blocks that sprung runners for huge gains. If you had only watched the first half of that game while scouting Mitchell and saw nothing else you would have taken him in the top 10. That is how impressive he was in the first half of that game. I'll add this also, when watching Texas games from last year watch Mitchell BLOCK. I'm no scout and I don't watch 100's of hours of film, but from what I've seen of him at Georgia and his one year at Texas I don't know how he fell to number 52. Welcome to the Colts Adonai, I hope you burn up the league this year! Go Colts!

      I was referring muscle-wise not his actual weight. Compared to the start of the season where imo he looked smaller, I think he added a lot more muscle

      But he carries it well.   Honestly I doubt he’s that big now….   One would think he’s in good shape now that he’s being active for the first time in roughly 6+ months.     Im just thinking out loud….

      CJ also made comments about being glad he wasn't drafted by Indy and how Indy is boring. I know he has the nice "humble beginnings" story, but he's making himself feel like a villain early. You don't want to annoy people that might be your future coworkers or employers. It's a bad look.
