Never thought I'd say this but I actually wouldn't mind it. (Except Grasu, horrible scheme fit and no DL until round 7).

 

1: Landon Collins, S, Alabama

2: Laken Thomlinson, G, Duke

3: Hronnis Grasu, C, Oregon

4: Cam Thomas, CB, WKU

5: David Cobb, RB, Minnesoda

6: Xzavier Dickson, LB, Alabama

6: Lorenzo Doss, CB, Tulane

7: Xavier Williams, NT, N. Iowa

7: Antwan Goodley, WR, Baylor

thats two rounds too early for cam thomas

 

 

Cam Thomas in 4th?

I actually think that's more realistic than everyone has him right now (Late 6th). He's one of those guys that EVERYONE loves as their 'under the radar' guy which brings his stock up more than you'd think. I think that's where his stock realistically stands. Not the 6th like everyone who has him in there mocks think.

I'm a big fan of his as well. Duke ran mostly a man blocking scheme (like us) so I'm not too worried about the scheme transition.

I'm more worried about how Duke runs the quickest-hit passing offense in college football and how that may have made him look better than he is.

Cam Thomas is way too early in my opinion and Lorenzo Doss is too late so swap the two. I also agree with the OP that Grasu is a terrible scheme fit. Our offense would show his lack of athleticism and lack of functional strength for the man blocking scheme. He should definitely go to a zone blocking team.

would love to get Tomlinson in the late 2nd if he is somehow there i had him in my first couple mocks but didnt think afterwards he would realistically be available at 61 good mock overall love your last 3 picks lorenzo doss and xavier williams and antwan goodley would be steals in my opinion

How is Hroniss Grasu a horrible scheme fit? He appears to be a perfect scheme fit. He reminds me a lot of a healthy Khaled Holmes. 

 

I am not that high on Laken Tomlinson or Cam Thomas. Tomlinson does not seem to fit what Grigson looks for in a guard, versatility. There are a number of other corners I prefer to Thomas, namely D'Joun Smith and Doran Grant.

Anyone who has seen my mocks knows I love Cam Thomas. But round 4 seems kind of early...

I see a lot of posts like this and I just don't understand....  If you "love" a player, how can round 4 be too early?

 

is it too early because you saw a mock with him going later but you have some crazy scouting knowledge that leads you to "love" him more than a normal 6th round pick but you think no GMs or owners will notice what you saw in him? 

 

I am not a big fan of the logic used when talking about the draft...

He's a zone blocking center,  not man/power.

He's not. He comes from more of a zone scheme, but that's not a very big deal for a center. Not unless he's undersized. Grasu is a little light, but he has decent power and strength, his blocking style and ability would work fine for us, IMO. I think we could do better in the third round, but it's not because he wouldn't fit our blocking scheme.

I would really be upset about this draft.  Not that they're bad players, but two interior O linenman in the first three rounds?!  Honestly, with the volume of young and developing players at these positions that we already have on the team, I'd be surprised if we draft any.  Between Herrimans and Mewhort, you already have two good guards, and you've got two young developing centers poised to give you much better play than you got out of the position last year.  This draft looks like exactly what it is: done by someone who is trying to be an expert on 32 teams and actually knows very little about the Colts...

      *Update: AD Mitchell signed

      By stitches · Posted

      I guess the whole question is the merits of the report. You report on his diabetes with tons of guesses and speculations and WITHOUT taking the side of the person who's been affected here and who's living and dealing with that condition. You report on the player being uncoachable WITHOUT taking the opinion of his coaches about being coachable or not(and BTW from what I've heard both from Colts and Texas coaches, this is resoundingly NOT TRUE). You report about him being immature and honestly, everything I've seen on the surface suggests the opposite. You report about his combine performance by giving it a pretty harsh reading(the video is in this thread and the account of what happened by McGinn is in this thread... People can actually go and look at what happened and make their own mind about whether the characterization of that workout was fair or not. I will just say you can represent the player stumbling in a drill and going again in various different ways and McGinn chose a specific way to represent it. It was the most negative way you could choose).    You know I had my own reservations about that outburst by Ballard at the presser, but the more I'm learning about Mitchell the more I actually believe in what Ballard was saying and the less merit those reports have in my mind. Maybe I have my own unconscious biases too, now that I have vested interest in Mitchell actually being good for us. I don't know     I guess ultimately none of it matters. AD's success or failure won't depend on some pre-draft reports... it will depend on how he handles himself from now on, how hard he works, his drive to be great and our staff's ability to get the best of him.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      Hmmm.   ”Healthy excuses will be hard to come by.”    Really?   Richardson, who had less than a thousand snaps in college, then had roughly 200 snaps his rookie year.  There’s one.   And Houston has Stroud who had a great rookie year.  Aren’t most media predicting Houston and JVille ahead of Indy this year?  That’s two without any trouble.     I just think insisting on a division title because a fan thinks it’s time doesn’t stand up to much scrutiny.   Sorry, just my two cents…. And often not worth that much.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By twfish · Posted

      For me absolutely it does. If Richardson stays healthy excuses will be hard to come up with. As positive as I am with Ballard at some point we have to start winning. He bet on himself by bringing in his own home grown talent this year, what he does at safety in the coming month and a half has me worried as well. We were so close to winning the division last year with a back up QB that my expectation is winning the AFC south this year.    If they make it into the wild card game and lose then the seat is just as hot for me. If they advance further and make a Cinderella run then I’m fully back on board.

      3 straight losses for the Reds. They have their moments where they play well. But it’s time to be real. They aren’t a playoff team and will never be as long as the Castillinis own them and David Bell is manager.    De La Cruz is fun, but his career will be wasted on this team.

      Am I reading this correct?   You think Ballard’s seat gets hot if the Colts don't win the AFC South?  Really?   So if the Colts don’t win the south but make the playoffs Ballard’s seat still gets hot?    Just making sure I understand your viewpoint.
