My Colts Dream Offseason


Recommended Posts

This is a version of the Colts draft and free agency that I would love to see happen. Granted some luck would have to come the Colts way, but this offseason in my opinion would make them dramatically better...(Every position addressed)

 

Free agency

Indy resigns DT Billy Winn, ILB Jerrell Freeman, K Adam Vinatieri, TE Coby Fleener

Indy cuts WR Andre Johnson, OLB Trent Cole, ILB D'Qwell Jackson

Indy trades DE/OLB Bjoern Werner to Atlanta for 2017 6th round pick, possible 5th if he starts certain number of games

Indy signs ILB Danny Trevathan, CB Trumaine Johnson, LG Kelechi Osemele, C Stephen Wisnewski

 

Draft

Round 1 Pick 28 (K.C.): Jack Conklin, OT, Michigan State (A-)
Round 2 Pick 17: Shaq Lawson, DE, Clemson (A+)
Round 2 Pick 28 (K.C.): Noah Spence, OLB, Eastern Kentucky (A)
Round 3 Pick 19: Vonn Bell, SS, Ohio State (A+)
Round 3 Pick 28 (K.C.): Sheldon Rankins, DT, Louisville (A+)
Round 4 Pick 18: Paul Perkins, RB, UCLA (A+)
Round 5 Pick 16: D.J. White, CB, Georgia Tech (A)
Round 6 Pick 1 (CLE): Deiondre' Hall, CB, Northern Iowa (A+)
Round 7 Pick 18: Leon Allen, RB, Western Kentucky (A)

 

Trades - Indy trades 18th overall pick to KC for their 1, 2, 3

            - Indy trades 2017 5th for 2016 6th round pick

It's never good to do Mock's with trades because:

 

1. They don't happen that often

2. They're often unrealistic

 

Indy is not going to trade their 18th pick to KC just because we want to have more picks to fill every hole. They'll make 1 trade at most and it'll be something minimal like the trades we made last year.

 

Granted its a "Dream Scenario Mock", but it's even unrealistic for that.

That draft would probably be the sexiest draft I have ever seen lol. And if you replace Conklin and Lawson with Leonard Floyd and Darrian Thompson then WOW. But the question is. Who would KC want bad enough to give up their 1st 2nd and 3rd to move up 8 or 9 spots. I'd say a major name would have to fall. Like Hargreaves, Bosa, Buckner, etc. And some major incompetence from KC's part. But I would consider trading down 4-5 spots to grab an extra 3rd or something though because I think we could still get Spence or Floyd in the 20's.

If one of Hargreaves, Bosa or Buckner dropped to 18, then we better not trade back

    • I almost spit my coffee out reading this a few times, lol!  I love sarcasm and I especially love it when there is some truth to it!  Well played Sir!
    • 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. 
    • if he is healthy and they make the playoffs in spite of, say, Houston being the 1 or 2 seed in a loaded afc, you think Irsay would contemplate firing him? That would mean we took another step forward and AR proved he could stay healthy and play ball. I don’t see his seat being hot in that scenario at all. I see the organization being fired up with that and ready to hit the offseason hard to take the next step forward. 
    • 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.
