For Once, The Walterfootball Mock is Pretty Good for the Colts.


Recommended Posts

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...

    • Ignoring anything to do with accuracy, level of play, etc., just based on his injury history through 8 games, it's highly unlikely he will be our QB in a few years.  It's a catch 22 with him.  If you don't utilize his legs, it will be very difficult to win with him.  If you do utilize his legs, it will be very difficult to keep him on the field.  I've come to the conclusion that his size is not necessarily a benefit.  The collisions are harder.  He goes to the ground harder.  You don't see some of the gentle drops and rolls you see with Lamar Jackson.     The fact that he's also tied to a front office that might be counting their days doesn't help either.  
    • Id say avoid drafting or taking players from your team that you’re a fan of. I’m an avid fantasy guy and also a sports bettor. I literally will avoid taking any Colts players In fantasy and also during the week in fantasy football I avoid taking the props of the players I’m playing against. I never want to wish bad on anyone so for that very reason I avoid those guys. For me personally it has helped tremendously, I can still enjoy the game without bias. 
    • I will just say this about the comparisons between Luck and AR.  And even Manning.   First, as far as overall talent?  I think AR has more talent than Andrew.  And I say that as the biggest Luck fan that there is.  I loved that guy.  But he always reminded me of a Manning wannabe.  Someone who had more pure talent.  Who was very smart.  But I never ever got the feeling that he wanted to win and put in the hours that Manning did.  And I think that was proven when he retired so early.  Manning was like an AI robot who studied 23 hours a day.  Just a huge will to win.    But what Luck had was pain tolerance, drive and overall ability due to his teaching since he was a kid...and his will to do what is right for the team.    IMO that was 100% MORE than AR's is right now.  Not even close.    If only you could clone a combo between Manning and his smarts, Luck and his pain tolerance, and AR and his pure athletic ability.    I am sorry but unless AR is the unluckiest person in the history of the NFL, NO ONE gets hurt this much.  He is a wreck.  Heck I remember in his first pre season game last year he ran out of bounds and started to limp.  Literally his very first hit ever.  Right then I said to myself "uh oh".  And then he has not finished what......4 of his all time starts?  Out of 8?  I mean....that is not normal QB behavior.  He seems to get hurt on almost every hit he takes.    Make that make sense.    It is very VERY odd to say the least.   I want AR to do well because he seems like a good guy and he has all the talent in the world  But after this last game and his words after? For lack of a better word I don't think he has any ability at all to do 2 things.     One....protect himself.   Two.....take a hit and feel pain without it being the end of the world.  He seems to have no pain tolerance whatsoever.  Which is fine.  Just don't be an NFL Qb as a result. 
    • I'm not creating anything.  Till AR can stay on the field it's Flacco that has to be tough. 
    • I understand that but till AR shows he can stay on the field, Flacco has to be the man. It's that simple.
