Round 1  (trade back)
Takkarist McKinley*, 3-4OLB, UCLA 
Height: 6-2. Weight: 265. 
Projected 40 Time: 4.62. 

Trading back acouple picks to gain an extra pick and I think the best pass rushing linebacker

Round 2
Ryan Anderson, OLB, Alabama 
Height: 6-2. Weight: 255. 
Projected 40 Time: 4.78.

Another linebacker why because we can't tackle. He can shed blocks cover and put pressure on the qb. I think he is the best linebacker this year in bama.

Round 2
Joe Mixon**, RB, Oklahoma 
 Height: 6-1. Weight: 226. 
 Projected 40 Time: 4.48

Oh boy very talented probably the best back in this draft he can run catch everything we need as long as he hits hole and not women he's a steal. I think Denver snags him in round 1

Round 3
 Raekwon McMillan, ILB, Ohio State 
Height: 6-2. Weight: 240. 
Projected 40 Time: 4.70. 
 
He would be are middle linebacker for years . He also has the body where he can gain another 10 pounds

Round 4
Cameron Sutton, CB, Tennessee 
 Height: 5-11. Weight: 186. 
Projected 40 Time: 4.51. 
 
Very good cover corner he also can tackle . I think he should go in the 2nd but everywhere I read say he's going in the 3rd 4th round if that's the case I'll take him here

Round 4
 Charles Walker, DT, Oklahoma 
Height: 6-2. Weight: 299. 
Projected 40 Time: 5.14.

He had a great year last year that would of made him a late first to a early second round pick . But after suffering an injury and missing all but two games could drop him into the 4th .

Round 5
Josh Augusta, DT, Missouri 
Height: 6-4. Weight: 355. 
Projected 40 Time: 5.10

A huge guy to rotate in the middle who is fast on his feet for his size and will collapsed the line and demand double teams

Round 6
 Josh Malone*, WR, Tennessee 
 Height: 6-3. Weight: 198. 
 Projected 40 Time: 4.50. 

Talented receiver who didn't have a great qb but still managed to put up great numbers.

Mixon is basically undraftable at this point, let alone a 2nd round pick. I'd take Mcaffrey, Foreman, McNichols, and probably even Gallman over him. Not to mention guys like Cook and Fournette. Love the 1st two picks, though you should specify how many picks we are trading back. Really bold picks, they could fall as anything could happen in the draft, so I won't say they won't fall. Not everything goes by the projections. I think it's less likely we get those FA's. Grigson has the talent of an illiterate monkey at choosing FA's. He'll probably do the nonsense thing and skip all of them and go back to normal way of thinking (or not thinking), since he's done that for 5 years and hasn't learned. Maybe we get 1 of them though.

I like the draft only one problem and it's a big one. I don't see McMillan in the 3rd. He's one of the key guys for me. We desperately need an ILB. I think we pray we get him with the first pick in the 2nd then take the OLB with the other pick.

 

Mixon is talented but I don't see us being that team. We can get an explosive back by taking Boom Williams in the 6th. We have WR's Hilton Moncrief Dorsett and Rogers with Smith waiting in the wings. 

 

I think everyone is setting themselves up for disappointment in FA. This is the 2013 class. It was one of the worst drafts ever. The pool won't be that big and most names I see I think stay put. Hightower and Campbell I think stay put.

Not really a fan of this draft personally. I think Ryan Anderson is more like a 5th rounder. Can't bend the corner well enough to be a real sack threat at the next level IMO. Joe Mixon has huge character flags - there are other running backs worth a late 2 that I'd prefer.

I disagree with your assessment of Anderson. He has adequate bend, fantastic play strength, and a non stop motor. Would love to have him in Indy.

Like everyone else has said I wouldn't touch Mixon. I don't think he'll play a down in the NFL because of how bad the tape is. If you're going to take a RB that high, go with Foreman.

 

 I like your draft though. Not sure where McMillian will go but it'd be great if he was there round 3.

Mixon isnt a 2nd rounder even without breaking that girls face.

 

Most everyine else will likely be drafted way sooner than you have them slotted. So good draft, horribly unrealistic.

I wouldn't touch Mixon, but i think you're wrong about them being drafted way higher than riftastic has them.  I do also think the FA signings are quite unrealistic

Thats fair. Right now its far too soon for anyone to be right. I mean theres a senior/shrine game, columbine, and pro days. But definitely agree about Mixon. Hes not draftable till the 6th or later, and even then, Im not thrilled about the pick.

Same I'd draft him in the 4th or 5th.

Wait.... you think a guy who is faster then both cook and fournett had less carries and better numbers then both of them . This kid is a stud .  There's no way he comes out early to go in the 3rd 4th round he's going at the end of the 1st or hopefully the 2nd when we pick . Let's face it theres some teams that don't really care what he did it's all about the W .

I like the players, but I think they are mostly overdrafted... I don't like to nitpick about where players will go, because you never know, but I think Tak, Mixon, and maybe even McMillan could all be had a round later... That first rounder could be used on Foster, Cunningham, Williams or Barnett, imo. 

 

I could be wrong, of course... I certainly don't hate the draft.

As to free agency,   I hope you're looking for maybe two of these guys and not all four.

 

We'd never be able to afford all of them,   even with all our money.

Reevaluate the RB, Cook would be ideal in this scenario, he's a homerun hitter, can't go wrong.  Grigson need to find a way to trade up and get Cook and trade up again to get a beast on the Edge...What have you got to lose?

That simple, huh ?

You lose draft picks when you trade up that is what you lose. If we move a direction in the 1st it should be down. 

 

Why would you trade up for an Edge? Who are you moving up to get? There will players there the first 2 days it would be much smarter to add a pick or two if possible

Anderson is okay but I just don't see the hype with McKinley. From what I've seen, he's very athletic but his technique just isn't there yet, strikes me as a guy that relies on speed and athleticism to beat the OT off the edge. He's not quite a 1st round pick in my eyes yet.

Okay, so below is a list of the value of all of our picks this year, taken from the PFF Draft Pick Value Chart. For this assuming we win the toss and pick 14.

 

1st - 1100 points

2nd - 440 points

3rd - 200 points

4th - 74 points

5th - 35 points

6th - 21.8 points

7th - 9 points

 

The way I see it you're going to need a pic around 8-10 to be in with a good chance of getting Dalvin. According to the chart, trading up from our 1st to the middle of that pack, the 9th pick (valued at 1350 points) would definitely cost us our 3 and probably our 4th to give the trade partner value to make the trade.  

 

This leaves us with: 

 

1st - 1350 points  - DALVIN COOK

2nd - 440 points

5th - 35 points

6th - 21.8 points

7th - 9 points

 

Depending on the EDGE you want to get, but you said you wanted a "beast" so you're likely going to need a pick around 15/16. I'll say 16 (valued at 1000 points) All of our remaining picks this year add up to 505.8 points. Without trading a high future pick, I don't see how you're going to pull that off. And I don't want to trade a high future pick unless someone like Myles Garrett falls for some reason.

So sad that Mixon gets his name drug through the mud for defending himself.  

 

Although I think you are over-drafting on several accounts.

What's sad is seeing people stand up for an * like Mixon. Dude is a joke

      How to Beat the Texans (and every other team)

      By Smonroe · Posted

      Again, I’m not saying a good D isn’t needed…well, maybe I am….  But what I’m really saying is that with a great Offensive you can win with an average Defense.   And, as to your point, I think all the teams that lost in those games you mentioned all had very good defenses.

      Personally I think Thomas got pressed into playing before his time. He did a few things we didn't expect initially considering his draft position. I think ideally they wanted to take their time and train him up sorta like EJ Speed then get him out there.  I'm interested to see how he regroups to be honest.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By CR91 · Posted

      Look im not gonna say Ballard haven't had his own issues, but the guy has been put in an impossible position particularly every year.   2017 - He has a lame duck for a head coach when we all knew was gonna get fired and was drafting for his scheme so I'll give him a pass.   2018 - Arguably his best draft getting two All-pros and a stalwart at RT. He gets to sign his choice of a head coach and is left at the alter at the 11th hour which in hindsight was a blessing in disguise. Drafted Tyquan Lewis, Hines, and Franklin who all have or had great years here. Andrew Luck was back and playing like an MVP.   2019 - Horrible draft. No excuses. It was his worst draft as a GM, but he did find a gem in Speed. Luck retiring a week before the season starts would put any GM in a tough spot so once again I'll give him a pass.   2020 - His second best draft getting Pittman, Taylor, and Blackmon. Signed Rivers and traded for Buckner and won 11 games. Unfortunately lost to the Bills in the playoffs.   2021 - I honestly can't tell for certain what happened in terms of QB. Ive heard Rivers was supposed to re-sign, but choice to retire. I've heard he was pushed to retirement as the colts wanted to go in a different direction which was apparently Stafford before the Rams came in last second. I heard Reich pushed hard for Wentz saying he can fix him against the wishes of Ballard. If you ask me, I think Stafford was plan A as Stafford himself said him and his wife were so convinced he was going to Indy that they started looking at homes. When that fell through, imo Reich lobbied for Wentz. Whatever it was, Wentz was the guy and the QB carousal was supposedly stopped at least we thought. A god-like season for Taylor was not enough to save Wentz from ultimately being traded and you can chalk that one on whomever Reich or Ballard depending on what story you want to believe. In terms of the draft, Paye and Dayo have been reliable players on the dline, Granson you can make an argument is our best TE, and Fries came into his own last year.   2022 - Just an overall disaster of a season. Went the bandage route again at QB trading for Matt Ryan and you can say the colts did him no favors in terms of oline protection and JT getting hurt, but that was a failed trade for a miserable season. 2022 draft is still under elevation, but Pierce and Woods did show potential as rookies and Raimann looks to be the LT of the future.   2023 - Ballard finally gets to draft a QB to tether him to and Richardson plays a grand total of 12 quarters. It just seems like Ballard can not catch a break when it comes to QBs, but from I've seen from Richardson, I have very high expectations.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By John Hammonds · Posted

      Hi Colts fans,   Yeah, I know, I know.  I was just as surprised as you were.  No clue why my good friend Jim Irsay would call me up and offer me the head coaching job.  I had to remind him.  Dude, I said, you do know that I've never coached at all at the NFL level.  Not coordinator.  Not even position coach.  Nothing.  It didn't seem to matter.  It was as if all that was required was for me to be good friends with the owner, and -- bazinga! -- I could be a head coach.   It was awkward, you know.  That first coaches meeting.  There was Gus Bradley.  And there was John Fox.  Both of them had been head coaches.  Heck, both of them had coached in a Super Bowl!  Yet here I was, promoted to be their boss, having never coached before.  Ever.   But, you know, Bud Grant did it.  So, why not?  Remember, I have a way of doing things.   Ok, sorry, I couldn't help but giggle.  I have a way of doing... what, exactly?  Things?  Things like coaching?  I have a way of coaching?  And how did I develop that way?  By actually, you know, coaching?   Anyway, I'm glad you have a new head coach.  One who has actually coached before.  And his experience doing that is bearing fruit.  I'm just glad I'm already in the Ring of Honor.  Because after what happened, I doubt that I would ever be accepted in by the fans, regardless of how I was as a player.  Heck, they would have put Andrew Luck in before they would even consider me.   In the meantime, I'm back at ESPN, attempting to "un-burn" bridges.  It can happen.  I heard Bud Grant did that once....   Regards, Jeff Saturday
