Colts select Cody Whitehair OG Kansas State. He's not the trendy pick! He's the smart pick!

 

[Archer]

Guards - easy to find in FA.

Explosive Pass Rushers - tough to find in FA.

 

I'd select Noah Spence.

[danlhart87]

I do like Boone but I highly doubt Grigson goes after him.

I could see Grigson going after Mack

[BleedBlu8792]

Whitehair is good, but in no way is he a value pick there at 18. We can get something relatively close to him in rounds 2/3. We have more needs than a G, and especially when it comes to picking in the top 20.

[Ace Boogie]

I'd have to go with Spence with our 1st pick, as he the best pass rusher and man do we need help there.

[Boiler_Colt]

I'm with you on Smith, I think the Raiders are a definite possibility. Smith and Khalil Mack would be a nightmare for the AFC for years. I still don't think there's any way he falls to #18.

[danlhart87]

I think it depends on what the Raiders do honestly. I would say their biggest weakness is OT so if they take Conklin or Decker there's a chance Smith drops.

 

Remember these words: Jaylon Smith WILL be the best player in this class.

I agree with you. I think he slips a little but not all the way to 18 for the Colts. A team in the top 10 probably won't because those teams either have new head coaches or coaches currently on the hotseat and they'll likely be under pressure to bring in immediate help. The Raiders with a second year coach in Del Rio and a clear rising trajectory makes sense, but like you said, they do need an OT to protect Carr.

If we signed Mack and drafted Whitehair our OL would be really good. But I had rather sign Osemele and draft a Center in the 2nd.

You better have a back-up to Osemele....   because odds are that Baltimore will find a way to keep him....

 

And then what?

 

Who is your target instead?

I think we need to go all in for Osemele. But if he stays in Baltimore, I think our best bet is to draft Whitehair and sign Alex Mack. I think Whitehair is going to be really, really good, but I'd still hate to use our 1st rounder on a G. That's why I think we should go all in for Osemele and use our 1st on D. But there are some other free agent guards that would be good options. Brandon Brooks, Alex Boone, Ramon Foster, Jeff Allen, or even Ritchie Incognito. But IMO those guys aren't as good as Osemele. Brandon Brooks is too inconsistent IMO. Incognito was actually better than Osemele this year but he's getting older and he's never been as good as he was this year. It wouldn't surprise me at all if we sign Mack honestly. But I worry about him a little too. He wasn't as good as usual this year. But I'm thinking its because of injury issues. But then again he's also on the wrong side of 30. IDK. There's several possibilities, and I think we'll figure it out one way or another and have a much better line next year.

[danlhart87]

Has anyone else considered this option 

 

Round 1: Spence LB

Round 2: Turner OG

 

Sign Mack

Thanks.....     appreciate the thoughtful response.....

 

Believe me,  I'd be thrilled if somehow Baltimore doesn't keep him and we manage to sign him....

 

I'm just trying to cover ourselves in case we never get a chance to step-up and offer him.

 

We can't draft our way out of having a poor line.    Free Agency is going to have to play a part in fixing this.

 

Whether it's a center or a guard -- or even both -- and then we draft a tackle,  I'm beyond exhausted in having a subpar o-line.      I still think we can get a good OL in R2,  and save R1 for the pass rush.

 

Grab a corner in R3 and I think the team will look dramatically better....   (at least,  that's my hope!)

You can remove Incognito off your wish list of guards. The hiring of Joe Philbin throws that one out the window lol.

He's not the smart pick at that spot. That would be a major reach, disregarding the BPA ideology used now

[ColtsFanCJ]

I'd take Ogbah over whitehair AT THIS PICK. If he's available in round 3 we take him there. But taking DE ogbah CB Fuller G whitehair OLB ngakue

I don't know about Turner. But I'm with you. It wouldn't surprise me if we do sign Mack.

 

Edit: BTW. I don't know what happened with my reply. your post just disappeared but the box is still there. LOL I don't know what's up with that bro. I must have done it someway or another, though.

I think that this is really turning into a good center draft.  Nick Martin and Ryan Kelly would be good 2nd rounders.  Graham Glasgow (Michigan) is coming on at East West Shrine and could join them in the 2nd.  Matt Tuerk (USC) is a wildcard whose medicals will be key, and Jack Allen is a mid-round guy who would STILL be an upgrade for us (eventually).  With this many possibilities, along with my skepticism towards Wiesniewski and Mack, I'd definitely target a center as early as practical in the draft (2nd, with any luck).

 

As far as OG, I'd target Brandon Brooks (Texans) or Mike Harris (Vikings) in FA.  We'll overpay, but we can get our man and add a much-needed veteran presence to the interior of the line.

[danlhart87]

I'm a big Martin fan hopefully he plays as well as his brother
