Reality's Pre Combine Mock

[RealityIsLuck]

The theme of this mock is just building the team, we've got some talent, and a lot of money. Might as well try and add as many guys that can give us good minutes. Starting cap projection is: 85 Million.

 

Starting with the resigning period: 

- Adam Vaniterri K, 1 year 2 Million

Bring back Vinny, easy decision. Still a good kicker.

- Barkevious Mingo DE 1 year 1.5 Million

Mingo played pretty well with the Colts, he provides good depth. 

- Pierre Desir CB 2 years 3 Million - 1.5/year 

Similarly to Mingo, Desir outplayed what many thought of him. He's a good depth piece at the right price. 

- Michael Pearson OL 1 year 1 Million

Again, a plug and play depth signing here. 

 

Cap after resignings: 79 M

 

Free Agency: 

- Andrew Norwell OG, 5 year 58.7 Million - 11.75 annually, 27M guaranteed 

Norwell gets a similar contract to his counterpart in Carolina, Trai Turner. Norwell has been one of the best guards in the NFL, being named an all pro this season. Norwell slides right in and drastically changes the o-line. 

 

- Cameron Fleming OT, 3 year 16.5 Million - 5.5 annually, 7M guaranteed 

Fleming played all over the OL in NE. He can come in and play RT for us, last year he played pretty well earning a 77 grade from PFF. Fleming is a huge guy at 6'6 320, he's very powerful blocker. He'd be a huge upgrade over what we've got at RT currently. 

 

- Marquis Lee WR, 3 year 24 M - 6M annually - 12M guaranteed

Lee's a very solid WR who quitely produced a ton in JAX. He put up a 78.7 pff grade, ranking 2nd out of all FA WRs. He put up 56 receptions for 758 yards. He can slide right in and fit with T.Y being our #2. 

 

- Anthony Hitchens ILB, 4 year 25M - 6.5 annually, 12M guaranteed

 Hitchens played at a very high level for Dallas playing all 3 LB positions. He's a logical signing due to the connection to Eberflus. Hitchens is a stud and fills a huge need at ILB for the Colts. Hitchens will also help to make the switch much more natural and can slide right in and start at LB. 

 

- Todd Davis ILB/OLB, 2 year 5M - 2.5 annually, 3M guaranteed

A theme of this mock is adding high character, high effort, athletic guys who can play. Davis fits the bill here. Coming from Denver Davis has impressed in his limited snaps at ILB. He's a thumper who plays the run very well. Davis has tons of potential to blossom in a new environment. He's got pro bowl potential. He'll be a nice depth piece but will also compete for a starting spot. 

 

- Korey Toomer OLB, 2 year 4M - 2 annually

Toomer played rarely for the Chargers. He only played 266 snaps in 2017, but logged 50 tackles and an impressive 80.2 pff grade. Many think with more snaps he could blossom into a high quality starter. Toomer can come into a situation where he gets to compete for snaps and earn a starting position if he plays well enough. He'd be a very good fit in the 43 OLB. 

 

- EJ Gaines CB, 4 year 38.5 M, 9.6 annually, 19M guaranteed 

Gaines is a great scheme fit for the Colts. At 25, Gaines is still very young and is a very talented CB. He was traded from the Rams to the Bills when he broke out due to the new zone scheme he was playing in. PFF gave him a 87.4 overall grade, ranking him 14th of all CBs. Gaines could come in and be our #1 CB in our new 43 Zone scheme. 

 

- Aaron Lynch DE, 1 year 2.2 M

Lynch is extremely talented with tons of potential but a number of character issues, etc. This is a gamble. Lynch could thrive in a 4-3 given his athletics and natural skillset. This would be a good landing spot for him as he is just a depth piece, any issues and ties can be cut. Fully risk/reward. 

 

- Justin Ellis DT, 2 years 3 M, 1.5 annually 

Ellis played well in Oakland, he could come in and provide a good fit as a 43 DT providing nice depth and a wholesome rotation on the DL. 

 

- Dion Lewis 2 years 11 M, 5.5 annually 

Lewis can come in and start in a rotation at tailback for the Colts. He's a gifted pass catcher with decent vision. Lewis is a matchup nightmare and can be an above average starting tailback for the Colts for the next 2 seasons. 

 

Cap: 23M

Draft: 

Colts trade pick 3 to NYJ for 6 and 2 2nds. 

1: Bradley Chubb, DE, NC St. 

Chubb is a gifted edge rusher with lots of potential. He can be that guy in the 43 system providing constant pressure being a terror off the edge, at 6'4 275 he's very athletic and can win at the point of attack. Chubb will plug right in an be a stud for our new, young, athletic defence. Chubb will be a blue chip player if in the right scheme, he's a true talent. 

 

2: Isiah Oliver, CB, Colorado 

Isiah Oliver is a pre draft process riser. At 6'1 he's good good size and impressive ball skills. He will excel in a zone scheme and has the ability to play both outwide as a boundary CB and as a slot CB. He provides the needed versatility to our young D. He'll slide right in and provide a great young defensive backfield with Wilson, Gaines, Hooker and Gaethers being 21, 25, 21, and 25 respectively. 

 

2: Billy Price, OG, Ohio St. 

Price is a tough guy, he's both a nice run and pass blocker. He's a hard worker, he's developed a ton in his years at OSU. He can slide right in and start at RG, rounding out the new OL. 

 

2: Malik Jefferson, OLB, Texas

Jeffersons an athletic monster. He's 6'4 with good size for a LB, and is very fast. Jefferson had his ups and downs at Texas but has a ton of potential to become a Telvin Smith caliber linebacker. He's a developmental guy but if he's developed properly he's got the potential to be a monster. 

 

3: Nick Chubb, RB, Georgia

Chubb may fall due to a poor finals performance. Chubbs a physical runner with upside to become a thumping tailback similar to Kareem Hunt. Chubbs got potential to be a starting tailback but needs to work on his explosion and vision. 

 

4: Simmie Cobbs Jr., WR, Indiana

Cobbs is a big bodied WR at 6'4 has the potential to grow into a strong boundary WR. Many think he may fall due to being on the slower side but he's got the potential to be a strong option out wide. 

 

5: Korey Robertson, WR, Southern Mississippi

Back to back WRs for the Colts? Yep. They've already really adressed all their other large needs thus far so this is BPA. The Colts have reportedly shown interest in Robertson. He's a small school kid who broke out this year putting up 76 catches for 1,170 yards. He's got a thick build but has the ability to play both inside and outside.

 

6: Eddy Wilson, DT, Purdue

Wilson is a surprising prospect. His stats are disappointing but plays better on tape. He's powerful and quite agile. Despite this, he probably came out of school a year early and has some character/off the field issues. He's got potential but needs to be developed very closely. 

 

7: Ryan Izzo, TE, FSU 

Izzo is a blocking TE who has pretty good hands. He is a solid number 3 TE. 

 

 

Lineup: Overall, this mock is the Colts bringing in as many guys that can play as possible. The D gets younger and more athletic, the linebacking corpse gets way deeper and more talented and the pass rush is brought to another level. The defensive backfield is young and fits the new scheme. The RB corpse becomes a legit rotation, the OL looks as good as ever and the WR corpses gets more versatile. It all depends on the health of #12. 

 

Lineup:

Costonzo - Goode

Norwell - Vujnovich

Kelly - Pearson

Price - Haeg

Fleming - Clarke

 

Luck - Brissett 

Lewis - Chubb - Mack - Michael 

Hilton - Lee - Cobbs - Robertson - Rogers

Doyle - Swoope - Izzo

 

Chubb - Lynch - Hunt

Hankins - Anderson - Ellis - Woods - Ridgeway

Sheard - Simon - Basham

 

Toomer - Walker - George

Hitchens - Davis - Morrison

Jefferson - Mingo

 

Gaines - Oliver - Wilson - Desir - White - Hairston

Hooker - Green

Gaethers - Farley

The only issue I have is I doubt both chubbs will fall far enough
