predict 2nd rounder taken


Recommended Posts

Duke Johnson or Tevin Coleman.  If it's not one of them it'll be Kendricks or Perryman.

These are the guys who I think pop when you turn on the film.  Game changers is what

Grigson is looking for.  If he can't have any of those then he'll take a real solid player who 

fills a need.  

I'd take Coleman over Johnson.  I actually like Johnson's style better, but he gets nicked up too much and doesn't really have long speed. 

 

Gore/Herron to move the chains and Coleman to provide a long TD threat, which also helps to keep CBs and Ss eyes in the backfield for a split second.

 

No defense even bit on the playfake last year, because nobody took TR seriously.  We even stopped using play-action because of it.

I agree with the poster that said we will have two 2nd round picks today. I think we trade our 3rd this year and next year to move up to the 2nd. Then we take 2 defensive players like jordan phillips and eric kendricks. Hopefully we get back on track day 2. As much as I like Dorsett (have him as the best WR in the draft), Brown or Collins should have been the pick.

I'm of the opinion that the team will have two second round picks as well. If they could get The Raiders to part with their pick then the team could still get a first round defensive talent. I still want the team to draft Eli Harold that's a guy I'd love to have teaming up with Newsome in the future.

I had my boy Laken Tomlinson in the 2nd for us but he went in the 1st(kind of a shocker)

Ima say either: Ronald Darby, AJ Cann, Michael Bennett, Paul Dawson, Tre Jackson

I wanna say Jordan Phillips but think he will be gone

Gosh, I forgot my #1 guy: Donovan Smith.  Wouldn't he tick off a bunch of people around here!

I would love Donovan Smith in Rd 2. Plug him in at RT.  Hope he will be there for us, but probably be gone in middle of the round with all the OL that have been taken so far.   So maybe Eric Rowe, PJ Williams or Nate Orchard.

Correct me if i am wrong but are the colts NT and DE besides jones going into their 2nd and 3rd year still pretty young and raw. Sounds like they are still learning but showed good signs last year I mean the colts was ranked #11 in the NFL in 2014, This will be the year to tell if you have a good DE or NT IMO. I would go OL if a good player is available and or a RB. IMO their will be some good D-line players left in the 3rd

    • Bottom line is we should be ranked in the 14-18 range as a mediocre team for now, and until we sign a veteran CB or FS, you could make a case for ranking the Colts at 20 or so. It feels like an offseason as of now where we strengthened our strengths and didn't improve our weaknesses (besides WR). RB depth is still bad, TEs are still iffy with the same group based on potential after we missed out on Bowers, not sure if we actually have a solid cover LB, and the secondary is a mess still with only a couple day 3 additions and a re-signing of Blackmon for a year.   The strengths are great strengths and they should help carry us with the trenches. However, our team is going to depend a lot on players coming back that were hurt. Mostly at the QB position and the secondary (also TE with Woods which is underestimated). I would feel much better if we signed a one-year veteran at either CB or FS.   Otherwise, there are other teams in our division, conference, and in the NFL as a whole that got better in FA and the draft. A lot of teams picked ahead of us and had more picks/more draft value as well. I feel like we are that middle child type team where the top teams who pick lower in the draft are much better than us, and the worse teams sign lots of FAs every year and draft higher than us. It always feels like we lose ground or remain stagnant until we can get the QB position right. That needs to happen before we can become an elite team in the NFL, start regularly winning the division, and become a top 10 team on the normal.   My $0.02 cents.
    • I would rather not have to worry about drafting a backup QB too early especially with the talent in the upcoming 2025 NFL draft.  Rather wait and draft our QB3 in Rounds 5 or later.  Who knows maybe we hit on an UDFA and get a Mr. Irrelevant capable QB like the 49er's.  
    • Morning bud just finished updating a posting in Colts Football board about this same topic of debate more about the Ehlinger future role.  This season will tell if AR can remain healthy all season.  How much Flacco has left to play.  Ehlinger's trust to start given his somewhat demotion during Covid-tenure and the Club looking to bring back a retired QB in Phillips to start, believe against the Raiders.  Next man up for the Colts behind AR wouldn't mind going on record would have to be Mac Jones, now with the Jaguars.  Jones is young and serviceable much like what Flacco and Minshew have done. 
    • Let's all make it through this season first.    After that I wouldn't mind going after Mac Jones as our #2 backup behind AR.  Do realize Jones was traded to the Jaguars but currently listed as a 2024 free agent.  Jones' 2020 season still is the highest-graded season by a FBS QB in PFF College era since 2014 and still leads all QBs with an impressive 95.8 grade.  Zach Wilson also in 2020 had a 95.4 grade, Joe Burrow in 2019 had a 94.9 grade, Jayden Daniels in 2023 had a 94.7 grade, and Kyler Murray in 2018 had a 94.6 grade.     Still a lot of hope around AR and yet still a lot of uncertainty given his short college career.  Very similar to Caleb Williams.  More worrisome about injury projections.  Flacco should be good for one season.  Unfortunately for the Colts signing Flacco we lost out of any 2025 NFL Draft compensatory picks losing Gardner Minshew.  My top upcoming NFL draft replacements for Flacco, after Mac Jones, would be Jalen Milroe (Alabama) and Jaxson Dart (Mississippi).  A lot to like about both.  Milroe is a dual threat QB and Dart elevated his play in Lane Kiffin's RPO/play-action-heavy offense.  Dart's already breaking Eli Manning's college records.  Dart's great at working outside of the pocket and clearly needs to get better staying in the pocket.   As for Ehlingher's replacements can see the Colts look at Coastal Carolina's Grayson McCall another mobile pocket passer with quick release speed or K.J. Jefferson (Arkansas) another dual threat QB.
    • I don’t see any reason to do what the Colts have done most years.   Have an established veteran behind the young starter.    What’s the point in using a high draft pick on a quarterback?   If he has to play for whatever reason, he’s not ready to give you quality performance.  Just the way our 4th round QB wasn’t when he was pressed into play.   Just the way Sam wasn’t ready when he was forced to play.   I think the Colts stick with guys like Minshew and now Flacco.   It’s safer all the way around.
