1st rd.pick defense or offense?

[joeb]

I would love to see Ruben Foster if not Dalvin Cook.

[Dark Superman]

Best player available.

[BOTT]

Not a running back

[coltsfansince65]

I'm hoping we find a play maker edge rusher or a start day one corner at #15.

 

If the none of the top 3 at those positions are still there I would not be very upset with us picking up Lamp.

 

The only RBs I would consider taking at #15 would be Fournette, McCaffrey or maybe Cook. I really don't see us taking a RB that early unless it's one of those three.

 

So I gues my shorter answer would be: Defense

 

 

[Hoosiernsavga]

As long as it's not a offensive skill position like RB, WR, or QB obviously. I just for certain want a day one starter at cb in the first or second rd. 

[Jason_]

Only position on offense that is want to take is OL. My preference though is BPA on defense.

I think one of those three will be available at 15.  Fournette, Mccaffrey or Cook. 

[GoColtsWin]

OLB or CB if the quality is there is the best move imo. But as @coltsfansince65 said, I also wouldn't feel bad if we picked up Lamp. 

[richard pallo]

I know a lot of people like Foster but I just read an article stating he is falling on many draft boards.  Very poor interviews being mentioned along with poor workouts among other concerns.  Having a hard time understanding defensive schemes and responsibilities.  Something to keep an eye on as more information might come out as we get closer. 

 

[ÅÐØNϧ 1]

If McCaffrey is available I like him at 15 . 

[cbear]

Unless an absolute stud of a pass rusher or cb is there, I would take McCaffery.  Then go defense the rest of the draft.  I think he has a chance to be a special player. 

[GoColts8818]

I am thinking they are going to target cornerback but I wouldn't be shocked if they go with a pass rushing linebacker

[Nesjan3]

John Ross!....oh yah Grigs got fired. Jokes aside definetly BPA on defense, the only offensive player i would want is Cook or Fournette, McCaffrey way overrated in my mind.

[NagelHausForge]

This is a tough one, with so many needs... I don't know enough about the RBs to know if the Colts would be smart to draft one in the 1st... but I wouldn't be upset with just the BPA strategy... or, if there is a player they are specifically honing in on, trading back in the first to accumulate more pics in the 2-4th rounds...

 

It will be fun to see what our new GM does.

 

Please god just not another WR...

[rock8591]

Orenthal James Howard.

[VaAllDay757]

It will be defense

[#12.]

Protect Luck, if possible.

[twfish]

The only offensive pick I want is RB and even then the only 2 I want at that spot is fournette or mcaffery. Otherwise ILB with foster OLB or a corner

Defense:

 

Derek Barnett

 

Ruben Foster

 

Teez Tabor

 

That's my 3 hopefuls

[Architects08]

Defense hands down. Then i want Mixon in the 2nd. Ill be upset if we take oline at #15.

[Andrew Luck fan club]

Defense or Lamp. 

[gacoop1]

If not Foster, get Cook or both

Is tabor fast enough for top 15 value?

[indyagent17]

Edge or DE!  Unless Lattimore or Conley fall to 15

[ColtsStrong86]

As much as I want to say defense, adding another 1st round o-lineman makes sense. We need Andrew up-right and healthy. That right side of the line is still a question mark. Either way I'm happy with an oline pick, olb, Ilb, or cb.

40 times are overrated. Shutdown CB at Florida who ran his 40's on a bad hamstring according to Ian Rap. 

[TYtheMan13]

Would love either Takkarist McKinley or haason reddick for pass rush help..  or a CB (marlon humphrey or possibly Kevin White)

[ClaytonColt]

Is this question a joke?

 

Defense all the way. We can't keep ignoring that side of the ball with our premium picks.

 

We're already going to have more 1st rounders playing on the o-line than we do on out WHOLE defense! To be successful we have to correct that balance. 

[UKColt13]

Best defensive player available probably.

 

Just anything except OL or Dalvin Cook.

[Track Guy]

The question should basically be is 1st rd pick defense or Forrest Lamp imo. Any other offensive player would be a shocker.

I like tabor but. 4.7 40 corner at 15 seems like a big risk.  Id think you can get him later. 

[AZColt11]

Yeah I would think you could get Tabor in the 2nd if you wanted him.  That 40 time is gonna scare off a lot of teams.

[LockeDown]

I just think McKinley, Foster, or Reddick are the biggest bang for the buck and would change our defense the greatest.  

[FalseStart]

The Best Offensive Defensive player in the draft.

[Smonroe]

People saying BPA know it's BPA on our board. Not Kiper, McShay or anyone else, right?

 

So there should be no complaints from them no matter who we take, since he was obviously the BPA on the Colts board.

 

No complaints!  I'm taking names!   

 

(BTW, I say BPA.  But I'll be the first hypocrite.)

[joeb]

No, the question is not a joke. Our running game is a joke though. That's why I brought it up. We still have 20 mil. to play with.I'm sure a quality rb will be released and we could sign him. If we with go with  1 off. lineman in draft and the rest def. players that would be way to go possibly. 

[ClaytonColt]

Over the last 6 years we've spent 12 high picks on offense and just 5 on defense. Five. Not even one a year. I doubt there's another team in the league who have neglected their D as much as we have.

 

Of those 5 players there are 3 that aren't even on the roster any more.

 

Should we be surprised that the defense is so terrible? 

 

There is absolutely no question where we need to invest in the draft this year.

 

 

[CR91]

I think its one of these options

 

marlon humphrey since we still havent filled the CB2 spot and I doubt anyone wants to see melvin start

 

Forrest Lamp if we want haeg to play the joe reitz position of being a swiss army knife 

 

Dalvin Cook which I doubt especially if we are interested in mixon and its not a smokescreen

 

trade down if all the above are gone. 

 

Foster isnt really a possibly imo unless we trade up because I cant see him getting past the browns

I reserve the right to complain but that is no indication of success.  I complained about James and Wayne and was thrilled with the Richardson trade.  

[LJpalmbeacher2]

No on McCaffrey. But I'd like to see our O jump to Top 5 and be more efficient.

So I'd like O.J. Howard, Cook, Fournette.

I can live with Lamp or a shutdown corner or even Peppers.
