Defjamz First Post-Combine Mock Offseason

[Defjamz26 2,116]

I think it should be noted that the Colts won’t be able to hit every need in one offseason. I’ve payed a lot of attention to Ballard’s comments about building through the draft and not going crazy in FA. I kept that in mind when constructing this. The focus was helping the transition to the 4-3 and adding the starting pieces for Reich’s attacking WCO.

 

Re-Sign:

-Rashan Melvin, 2 Years

-Pierre Desir, 1 year

-Jon Bostic, 1 year

 

FA:

-Dion Lewis RB, 3 years

-Anthony Hitchens, 4 years

-Zach Fulton, OG 4 years

 

Draft:

 

R1,#3: Bradley Chubb, DE N.C. State- The future leader on D who will be the first key piece of the 4-3. Alpha male attitude and a bully on the field. Day 1 starter

 

R2, #36: Malik Jefferson, LB Texas- The staff has stated they’re looking for fast players on D. The Colts have lacked athletic LBs for years. Jefferson is a sideline to sideline tackling machine. Ran a 4.5 40. Can play SAM while he works on his pass coverage.

 

R3, #67: Jerome Baker, LB Ohio State- Another LB since our LB core is weak. Baker is a sideline to sideline coverage LB who can start immediately. Needs to work on physicality though.

 

R4, #104: Equanimeous St. Brown, WR Notre Dame- The Colts haven’t had a big body outside receiver (Andre Johnson was a bust signing) in foreve. Finally Ballard gets one. EQ quietly ran a 4.48 40 at 6’4” and 225 lbs. Underrated route runner as well. Sirianni will do great things for him

 

R5, #140: Skylar Phillips, OG Idaho State- An underrated guard prospect with good lateral agility and power. He’s 6’3” and 325 lbs. should be able to challenge for a starting guard spot early on.

 

R6, #178: Greg Stroman, CB VT- A long corner who surprised with a 4.48. Can run with bigger and smaller corners. Developmental corner

 

R7, 221: KC McDermott, OT/G Miami- A possible swing tackle and guard. Chance to make the roster as depth

I don't think St. Brown lasts until the 4th but if so I'm into this draft for sure.

Hope Ballard adrdress WR in free agency. If we're just planning on Hilton Rogers and a 4th round pick, were in depth Trouble

Melvin....    2 years?     Why would he sign that?    It's not clear he will sign for 3-years....   he will want more, much more in terms of years...

 

Perhaps a typo?

Interesting Day 3 picks.

 

I keep hearing that Malik Jefferson is overrated. He tested well at the combine, but his game tape is apparently poor. I have not watched many Texas games.

 

A guy I am starting to like potentially with our 2nd rounder is corner Mike Hughes from Central Florida.

Some sights have him in rounds 5-7.

I've seen him in the 3-4th so who knows like I said if he does I love this draft.
