Addressing our need at WR

[coltsnation]

Considering how weak our WR corps are, and FAs getting overpaid, looks like we'll turn to the draft.  Second round looks like the sweet spot for this class and we have 3 picks, so who do we take?

WR is pretty weak overalloverall in this year's draft class. I'd feel more comfortable taking a WR in the 3rd

Would have been great to get Jarvis Landry 

[w87r]

Chark but not till 2c or our 3rd

[Trueman]

I imagine, like RB, it will be addressed later in the draft.

 

 

[MarquisJ]

man if we could snag courtland sutton with one of our second round picks wow very dangerous offense we would have

[Matabix]

I think Sutton compliments Hilton better. He's got length and height. I think he has the 2nd best hands of the group.

[danlhart87]

DJ Moore is expected to go Round 1 so if he falls to 2nd say pick 49 it would be a steal

Why not earlier?

It’s a weak receiver class and we have more pressing issues.

 

 

 

 

[NorthernBlue]

Weak WR class. I hope we still get our hands on an FA wr.

 

Still holding out hope for Meredith.

[Mr.NotSoCreative]

It might not be an exceptionally deep wr class, but weak is not the adjective to use. There is a lot of length, and some studs in there. Chark will be a beast and should be the first one taken. I really dont know much about Sutton. My picks are StBrown and Cobbs. Both have all the necessary measurables, hands, and can create mismatches and should be available late 2nd early 3rd.

Now why would the Colts wrap up that amount of money for the same position?

[richard pallo]

The WR from ND.  St. Brown.

[ReMeDy]

When I think WR, I think of this man:

 

He has a name, but we dare not speak it. I think of other things, like a 1st round guy speaking German, which proved very useful in the sack column.

We have like the weakest group of receivers & rb's in the league. Outside of TY it's very poor. Even with the addition of Grant, we STILL NEED to add 2 more receivers to bring the group to 5.

As of today, not only are we short on Quality, But also short on Quanity as well.

I guess you haven’t heard of a long term deal?

 

landry has stated he wants long term and we have a lot of cap space.

 

he is young and a top 15 receiver in the league, with a chip on his shoulder.

 

for a third round pick I would take that anyway of the week.

 

anyway it didn’t happen. I actually believe in Rogers - in the limited time he has played he has looked quite good.

 

they say a receiver breaks out in there third year so we will see what he can do.

What does that have to do with Hilton's long term deal?

Agree. Colts at least need a WR2 long-term. I think day two is the best place to get one. 

[shasta519]

There are several bigger WRs in this draft. But the guy I want is Christian Kirk.

Quantity?  No, that's no problem. We have 12 WRs on the roster right now including 3 6-3 .

At this point saying we have no quality is too pre mature.

Adams 6-1

Anderson 6-2

Brent 6-3

Hogan 6-3

Jones 6-3

Liggons 6-1

Listenbee 6-0

Smelter 6-2

Wright 6-0

There was a reason these guys were signed in the first place.

What if we trade down again with Buffalo for their #12, a 3rd this year & a 1st next year?  At 12 we might get Ridley, best WR on everyone’s board,

I don't think Ballard wants to pick a WR and come out of the first round without a player who can provide an immediate impact.

Let me rephrase that. Why would the Colts want to spend over 25 million a year for the same position?

To have good receivers?

 

Or we could just have Moncrief and Dorsett 

 

Seems like a great idea! 

 

I guess what I am saying is Landry CAN catch and also Landry CAN get open. (HINT: these are good traits for a receiver).

 

Hope this clears things up

Well I am glad we didn't sign Landry.

Also, I don't need a description of what a good receivers job is. I think I have seen one at one time or another.

This is coming from someone who just made the comment that Allen will be the #1 pick for the Browns?  And you already crown him a MVP and a hall of famer? 

[stitches]

I'm kind of surprised how many people prefer Chark to Moore. Chark is mainly a vertical threat and we already have that. Moore is a much better overall receiver IMO.

Agree, of the choices I like Anthony Miller the best 

[ColtsGermany]

I hope we can take EQ St. Brown in the 3rd or 4th round if he's still available at that point. But i think Ballard won't take a reciever in the first 3 rounds, as we have bigger holes to fill on our roster where the draft class is deeper and privides more upside even in later rounds. 

[danlhart87]

There's only 2 I woudn't mind drafting 

Pettis or Moore 

[crazycolt1]

If we don't take Jaleel Scott in the 3rd round it would be a mistake.

He has #1 talent written all over him. It might not even be a bad thing to draft him in the 2nd round either.

Everyone always wanting a big tall receiver so he hits those marks at 6ft-6in.

Go check his draft guide, you may like him.

I like Pettis also. Do you think he will be available in say the 4th rd?

Personally, I think Ridley will fall, possibly to our 2nd round picks.  He has good receiving skills, but he was a terrible athlete at the Combine.  6th percentile.  I think Sutton is WR1, Kirk and Moore are WR2 and 3...

We'll address both in the 2nd-3rd

We wouldn't waste our only 1st. rd. pick, No. 12, on a WR.  He wouldn't be BPA.  Most likely OL, DB, LB, and ER.
