Top Remaining Picks to Start Saturday's Day Four...

[NewColtsFan]

....  this from Gil Brandt at the NFL Network....   I'll post others as I find them...  

 

But,  the most important thing to note...   that trade DOWN that so many here HATED, moved the Colts UP 19 spots.    Instead of drafting 29th tomorrow,  we draft 10th.  

 

How's that trade looking now?!?

 

Click and check it out.    Lots of interesting name and the Colts are going to get one of them in the 4th.

Draft Amos

[John Dee]

I loved the trade...       and it will pay off early tomorrow.

 

They still may move up further... they have enough..

[SolomonThomasFanAccount]

draft derron smith or try flowers 

[Nobody]

So many good players left, I'm salivating

[SP_21]

It's crazy how this draft has played out. So many guys available at each of our picks!

[SDakColts]

I would be perfectly happy with Grady Jarrett, Adrian Amos, or Tre' Jackson. I just would stay away from Clemmings at all costs sounds like his injury is pretty extensive with what Mayock said. I guess multiple teams have completely removed him from their draft boards because of it.

[COLTS449]

I'd roll the dice and take either Clemmings or Ajayi. Then trade back up for a safety unless Smith is our new FS.

[MTC]

James Sample. 

[Patagonia Chris]

I love the trade back. Hopefully the Colts can land Grady Jarrett or Jeremy Langford. Either way, there is still a lot of talent left for tomorrow.

[Kezzarino]

Campbell in the 4th would be a steal

[BProland85]

Colts need an OT...time for either la'el Collins or tj clemmings

[MrNLM]

Colts need an OT...time for either la'el Collins or tj clemmings

Collins said if he did not get picked in round 2 or 3 that he was not signing with any team this year. Might want to switch that name real quick before you get made fun of. ;)

[rock8591]

Michael Bennett...

 

Then trade him to the Seattle Seahawks for Michael Bennett.

[Deathiltis]

Amos, Shaw, Jarret, Langford, Cobb, best OL available

[OHColtfan]

_{Taiwan Jones, ILB, Michigan State - time we upgrade the center of the defense}

 

_{Adrian Amos, S, Penn State}

 

_{Still have some really good RB's as well.}

[esmort]

I seen where he said that also, but I wonder if a team called him in the 4th and told him they were wanting to draft him if he would change his tune?  I bet he would.

[Kezzarino]

I think collins will go to a team as a udfa for a year then look for a big contract like he would have gotten in the 1st round

[ponyboy]

Huh?  I don't recall seeing a single complaint about the trade.. only praise.  Maybe I was on different threads.

I think there were several threads about it....

 

The one I posted in had all sorts of posts ripping Grigson for trading down...  

[MrNLM]

I seen where he said that also, but I wonder if a team called him in the 4th and told him they were wanting to draft him if he would change his tune?  I bet he would.

I don't know man. This kid was expecting to be a first round pick. Any call he gets now would be a slap in the face.

[Colts_Fan12]

I'd love Collins but heard he won't sign unless he was taken today

[esmort]

I don't know man. This kid was expecting to be a first round pick. Any call he gets now would be a slap in the face.

 

I agree he would have to swallow some pride and compared to a round 1 contract he is out quite a bit of money, but the contract difference between round 3 (which he was willing) and 4 isn't really that much, plus not being round one he avoids the option year ... so if he sits out a year and than is taken in round one he has essentially added 2 more years before he can get that first FA contract. I can definitely see him sitting out, but I think a good argument could be made for him to go ahead and get in the league.  It's tough spot (and choice) for him, got to feel bad for the guy if he had nothing to do with the crime.  

[Superman]

Not allowed. He's tied to the rookie wage scale his first three seasons. Can't play one year and then get a fat deal.

Well he better get what he can then i can see comp 7th rounder being used just to get the rights to him

[esmort]

I agree, if the NFL doesn't make some sort of ruling or announcement on him some team will draft him with a low pick (maybe us since we have the next to last pick) and sit on his rights even if he refuses to sign.

[Mitch]

I say we take Collins, Clemings, Ajayi, Mike Davis, David Cobb...I'll be happy with any of these players.

[Kezzarino]

I hope us

[Defjamz26]

Campbell in the 4th would be a steal

 

That's what I'm thinking as well. But isn't Cody Prewitt still available? Surprisingly there are still some nice options at safety. Derron Smith is still available as is Adrian Amos and Clayton Geathers. Anthony Harris is still there but I expected him to be there.

[Mr.Debonair]

Derron Smith or Michael Bennett please

[Kezzarino]

Which of those 6 are strong safeties and which sre free?

[akcolt]

So many players still there and we have 6 picks oh what a difference a year makes

There are a number of teams picking before us in the 4th who need safeties, including TEN (1st & 9th), JAX (4th), WAS (6th), and CHI (7th).  Fanspeak has updated their mock board and I've run a couple simulations.  While it would be tempting to take DT Grady Jarrett if available, there are plenty of DTs left in the draft.  The simulator saw safeties fly off the board in the 4th. 

 

It's a long stretch between our pick at 109 and the next one at 165, so if it's a safety we're after, we'd better take him first (especially considering that we probably need one each of SS and FS).  Some players not listed here like Josh Shaw can play safety but are listed simply as corners or simply DB.

[SaturdayAllDay]

Two guys I would love to see would be Cody Prewitt and Mike Davis

Wow thanks

I think ss is our biggest need so campbell in the 4th, if hes gone anyone of the first 3 fs in the fourth and go for geathers later on. I agree that we need one of each we could trade up and take amos and campbell both in the fourth

[Dark Superman]

draft derron smith or try flowers

I'm hoping for Smith or Collins.

[Dark Superman]

Derron Smith or Michael Bennett please

Bennett is a DT, correct?

[Kezzarino]

Bennett is a DT, correct?

Yes he is, quite disruptive one at that

[Dark Superman]

Yes he is, quite disruptive one at that

I'm hoping for any player in the trenches and a safety. Lol

[Kezzarino]

I want bennett, campbell & langford at RB
