It seems like Grigson is done with the off the field issue guys. Doubt Colts would draft someone like Randy Gregory or Marcus Peters.

 

Just read an SI article about Grigson, with an interview that took place shortly after the Combine. Says he doesn't want character issue guys in the first four rounds.

Landon Collins will be the Colts pick if he's available at 29. Book it.

I'd be good with that.  However, I don't think Grigs would have mentioned him by name yesterday if he was actually a priority target.  That was an indicator to me that he is looking for a different player to be there at 29 for us. Doesn't mean he won't take him if he falls to us but I do think it means that he is either certain that Collins will be gone or hoping for a different player to be there.

Most meaningful info in Grigson's presser yesterday was what you can infer from his comments about Cherilus.  We will have a new RT this year, not next - Reitz, Herremans, Ulrick or a Rookie.  Grig's gave a very nice public nod to "Gos" and his character as a warrior but made if very clear (to me anyway) that he doesn't think he has anything left physically.

 

If he believed otherwise, he'd have short circuited any and all questions about Cherilus with quick confident replies about the progress Cherilus is making and how certain he is that he'll be ready to go this year. He simply doesn't believe that but gave Gos the respect publicly that he deserves before he cuts him this summer.

I think he's set up a go / no-go situation. Medical clearance is expected in June, it seems. If things don't look 100%, it's just a medical decision. Especially if we have a guy who can be penciled in in GC's place.

Yep - and I think he is 90% certain that there will be no 100% for Cherilus anymore....he is just doing the right thing of using all the time on the clock that he is allowed.

I'm pretty sure Mewhort can play tackle as well.

Actually according to this article, he did mention Landon in particular saying he can do it all.

Been saying that since last year. He just tries the bull rush to much. Still tries to use the same stuff since college. This isn't college and he's facing the best of the best every game. Needs to add more to his bag of tricks. Needs to learn to set players up for plays later in the game also.

      2024 Post Draft Updated Roster + Cap Space Discussion Thread. **UDFA TRACKER LIVE NOW**

      By w87r · Posted

      Just thought about it this morning as I was reevaluating things.     Maybe he could be a big 3rd or 4th RB, with the ability to line up and lead block?

      I really do think we will be bringing in Diggs. Diggs has just kept himself inserted in Colts news.     Probably not Simmons though.     Definitely think we will bring in a vet RB, sometime from now to beginning of camp.     With how the draft played out I see a vet CB as well to battle for that 4th outside spot.

      Colts pick Anthony Gould WR Oregon State

      A. Rich. has a lot to work with this year.  Ballard did a real stomp down job!

      Draft Grade????

      I haven’t been on the board in awhile but same thoughts here. I didn’t think he’d get out of the top ten.

      Draft Grade????

      By Solid84 · Posted

      A+   Laiatu Latu - The kinda guy I've been clamouring for for a long time now and specifically the guy I hoped we'd get this draft. I'm SUPER excited about this pick. If Latu turns into our Hendrickson/Crossby/Bosa the rest of the players in this draft can bust and it would still be A+ in my opinion. Technician without equal and still athletic. There's just so much to love about this guy. Steal #1.   Adonai Mitchell - Steal #2. Ballard stood tall on the hill defending this guy and reportedly Steichen and Wayne have been pounding the table for this guy for some time... and they got him AFTER a trade back? Bruh! Steal! Super athletic and has beat up on some of the top CBs in this draft.   Matt Goncalves - We've needed to upgrade our OL depth and Goncalves can play all over the line. Solid pick!   Tanor Bortolini - Quite possibly our future OC. Super athletic - broke Jason Kelce's 3-cone record at the combine. Love this pick!   Anthony Gould - This could potentially turn out to be a genius move by Ballard & Co. The new return rules means having a good returner is extra important and Gould is likely one of the best in the draft! We also needed a good backup behind Downs since McKenzie left.   Jaylon Carlies - After last season I felt like we needed to upgrade our coverage ability at the LB position. This is a move to do just that. Love it!   Jaylin Simpson - We needed to at least add competition at the FS spot. With us picking Simpson and last years 5th rounder Daniel Scott returning (who Ballard seems really excited about), we seem to be set with young talent there. Maybe we add a vet? Like this pick.   Micah Abraham - Don't know much about him, but he has the pedigree. Doesn't fit Ballard's typical athletic profile, so they must have seen something on tape they REALLY like.   Jonah Laulu - The Colts brought him in for a top 30 visit and he fits their athletic profile. Project. Solid pick in the 7th.
