CR91 Mock draft 2.0 with trade


Recommended Posts

Colts trade 2ND, 4th, and next year's first for both of the browns second round picks

 

4th comp pick for fleener

 

7th went to the browns did Billy Winn trade

 

 

1St-Dalvin Cook RB-I know people don't want a RB in the first, but the more I watch, the more I see a special talent that would add new dimension to our offense we haven't had since edge.

 

2nd- Jameel Johnson NT- Beast. Only word I think of when watching his tape. Relentless and powerful.

 

2nd- Tim Williams OLB- tremendous first round talent, but off the field issues will have him slip. Could be absolute steal if he cleans up his act.

 

3rd- Jalen Reeves Maybin ILB/OLB if you've seen my previous mocks, you know how much I love maybin. Speed and powerful hitter and all over the field

 

4th- Devonte Fields OLB- size, speed, and talented, but like Williams has off the field issues as well. Another steal if he can get his head right.

 

5th- Tony Connor S- I love this kid. Tough fast and can lineup anywhere, but hasn't been the same since his injury

 

6th - Darius English OLB- undersized pass rusher with a lot of upside.

I just can't get past trading a future 1st unless its for a blue chip prospect. If Luck went down next year (knock on wood), we could miss out on a top 5-10 pick.

 

It's also possible that pick ends up in the twenties

I really don't see the value in trading 3 picks (including a future 1st) for 2 second round picks. 

 

Value is I'm fixing our defense with just two players if they pan out in exchange for a pick that possible be a late round pick

I could understand maybe trading to jump back into the third since that is common for Grigson but I do not see this happen.  He lost a first once before and has seen a lot of heat for that.

 

Past failure doesn't deter future successes. Yes I know that sounded like a fortune cookie haha

You want to trade a 1 and a 2 and a 4 for TWO 2's?!?

 

Dear God,  no.

 

You've got WAY too much time on your hands and are badly over-thinking things.

 

Sorry.

Two high second round picks.

 

I got us a special rb, improved our dline, got us bookend pass rushers, a talented tackler with a lot of speed and range all for what will be probably be a late pick. What's the problem exactly?

You paid too much for it.     Way too much.

So fixing the defense and getting another dynamic weapon is not worth it?

 

We're not going to fix this team in one off-season.     This is a multi-year fix.

 

And trading 3 picks for 2 is a poor way of fixing anything.     Especially when we have so many needs.

 

And I don't want to trade a future draft pick. especially when it's a FIRST ROUND PICK!

 

We're not one draft away from being a very good team.....

We're not so bad that we need a few drafts to get back to where we were. This draft fixes a lot of issues we have.

Yes....   we are.      We're 30th in overall defense.    30th out of 32 teams.

 

We have no playmakers,  no difference makers.       We need a ton of help.   

 

And we need help over several years....    that's the way good defenses are built.

And with this single draft, I fixed the front seven which is the biggest issue

I know that most draft enthusiasts love to trade, especially trade down.  Myself, most of the time I avoid them, and if I do it's usually not a radical trade like yours.  Reason being, it just makes the mock more unlikely (with the big trades)  That being said, I like most of your picks (specially Jaleel).  Do you really think Maybin will go that high though?   You might want to check out draftwired, I think it's a much more professional and realistic app.  dont have the link handy, but you can just google 'draftwired'  (I think).  It's new and not well known but far better in my opinion.

OK....   if you think so.....    we'll just agree to disagree.

 

But, I'm going to ask a small favor....    bookmark this thread.     Let's see what happens after the draft.

 

How realistic was the draft?      Were the players you wanted even around when the Colts would've picked?

 

Let's take a look back on this in May and see what happened....

Of course I'll be wrong. No one gets the draft correct

I'm not expecting you to get every name predicted to the Colts.

 

My point is.....     how realistic were your picks.     You've got Tim Williams going to the Colts in the 2nd round.   But if he goes in the 1st,  then your mock wasn't realistic.

 

You've got Maybin in the 3rd,  Fields in the 4th,  Connor in the 5th.      If they're gone before where you have them picked,   then it's not very realistic,  is it?

 

That's how I judge a realistic draft.....

 

I didn't even get to Cook in the first.       What if he's not there?

 

There are lots of things that go into a mock....     my biggest criteria is how realistic is it....

You're telling me I'm reaching with every player?

I'm telling you I think you MIGHT be reaching with a large number of your picks.

 

We won't know until early May.....         So, let's take a look then....

 

 

You realize this won't be my last mock? Obviously a lot will change about players from now til then

This draft would fix issues but again this draft would never happen.  I would have to agree with NCF from above and say a lot of your players will not fall that far plus we would be stupid to do this trade.  I could see us getting or having the possibility to draft Cook in the first but Tim Williams fallen to the 2nd? I have not seen him drop past the top-15 yet.  I could see Maybin being there in the 3rd but Fields will be long gone before the 4th.  These are just mocks though so I am curious to see your next one.

    • Yes, it was much easier to read when you typed the words you were thinking lol
    • 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.
    • How bout this? Draft better and u build a play off caliber team. Ain't rocket science. 
    • 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.
