I know this is based on your rankings but I would definitely take Armstead over any offensive tackle in this scenario.

It's an interesting and bold list. The thing I probably disagree with the most is randy gregory. He's WAY too high and I'm curious to hear your reasoning for having him so high at 8. I wouldn't have him as a first rounder, and that's before his marijuana troubles.

Very well done. What do you think of Trae Waynes? In another thread, I believe you wrote that you have not done a report on him because he would not be there for the Colts at 29. You have a few 3 CBs going in the first round, and he isn't among them.

I like him, just not as much as everyone else. He's stiff in the hips, which is a really big negative for me evaluating corners. I think he's a first round talent, it's just not the way the board fell.

he's good but if you look how MSU's secondary played some of his bad play was overshadowed by the secondary as a whole

Lockette in the first? Shhhhhhh... I want to see him fall so we can snag him in the 3rd a la Moncrief..

He'll probably go in the 3rd, but I think he's really good as well.

Dustin-

 

Looking at your rankings, they are good and you could make an argument for any of them. Ultimately the top ten will be based on positional need, and BPA. Especially since I have heard a few GM's say this draft is deep, but only about 16 picks grade out as 1st round drafts, which is actually better for us, the depth is in the 2nd and 3rd rounds.

 

One person no one has talked about much for us is Owamagbe Odighizuwa. Although you have him high in your rankings, I believe he will be there when we pick due to his injury history, surgery on both hips. Clean bill now, but it would scare me off, but I do believe the Colts will look at him, although if we go ILB, hopefully Kendricks is there!

Mariota has better long term capability, IMO.  Especially if Winston doesn't 'grow up'.  Winston will be better out of the gate, true.  Let's check this again in year 4 of Rookie contract...

Because knuckleheads have a great track record of being good quarterbacks?
