NOW the real fun begins!

[MTC]

The draft is officially over. Here we go. 

 

Ballard predicted that about 10 to 15 UDFA will be signed. 

[Scott Pennock]

I'm predicting 1 of these guys at Corner:

Kelly - SDSU

Hill - UT

Meeks - Stanford

 

And 1 of these guys at LB:

Scales - IU

Moore - SC

 

And this guy at DE:

Arune - Tulane

 

[bertjones7]

From Jeremy Stevenson:

Who is ready for the UDFA scramble?! Potential UDFAs that interest me:

CB Quenton Meeks

CB Holton Hill*

WR Korey Robertson*

WR Simmie Cobbs Jr.*

OG Skyler Phillips

LB Tegray Scales*

DL Taylor Stallworth

LB Matthew Thomas

*Colts spent time with.

Kelly is a guy I really want as an UDFA. Skai Moore may be a better prospect than Scales, just moves a bit better.

 

Just because I'm a homer, I'd love to see us sign RB Ray Lowry from ODU. We had him in for a visit and that guy has been extremely productive, even when he became the only real weapon on that offense.

[Shive]

Stampede Blue put out an article with some possible UDFA targets for us:

 

https://www.stampedeblue.com/2018/4/28/17296672/priority-undrafted-free-agents-the-colts-should-target

 

I honestly forgot Simmie Cobbs wasn't drafted. Getting him as an UDFA would be an absolute steal.

[JRnINDY]

Hope we can get Hill, Meeks, Scales, Cobb. They all would play on Sundays for us and make this draft more bearable.

[shasta519]

Ballard gets Meeks and McFadden...and we don't have to worry about CB for a long time.

I understand why Hill didn't get drafted with the character issues, but I'm confused as to why Meeks didn't go. Big tall CB, 4.49 40 at his pro day, and good bloodlines. He's a zone corner only but he should still have value. I guess lack of speed hurt Cobb. He's a big body though. Get him in camp. Scales is a head scratch.

[Samu-Rye]

It's crazy how excited I am for the draft every year. And then this part always turns out to be the most fun.The anticipation for the UDFA, that we all personally want,then the fun of looking up the ones we actually get.

Kicker news:

 

 

[bertjones7]

First signing. I’m a canes fan as well

@flasportsbuzz: UM K Michael Badgley is signing with Colts, per his agent, Brian McLaughlin.

[SP_21]

Why do kickers sign with us every year? They're never going to Vinnys spot

[MTC]

Most teams carry two kickers during camp. 

[Bluefire4]

They can show what they got and get opportunities elsewhere, or we could keep them in mind because they know that Vinatieri is 45.

 

Brandon McManus and Cody Parkey signed here as UDFAs and they have been starters elsewhere. McManus is still with the Broncos now.

There have to be quite a few teams that would give him a much better chance to compete for the spot though.

Extended Tryout for other teams

 

  2 are still kicking today

Camp body, and we need someone to kick so Vinny doesn't wear out.

[WarGhost21]

Hercules Mata’afa is the big name I want, as well as Simmie Cobbs

[JRnINDY]

Meeks signed with the Jags that sucks for us

Hill is a guy with late 1st round-early 2nd round talent who screwed up and was suspended for violating team rules. NFL guys may still have some qualms about him, but with his size-speed ratio he might be worth a look.

 

Meeks is a much more mature, reliable guy who's allegedly a step too slow to be a pure cover CB, but who might nonetheless fit in Eberflus' zone schemes, so he might also be worth a look.

 

McFadden started out great at FSU, then sort of tailed off, but still passes the eye test, FWIW.

I prefer Meeks but would be happy with any of the 3 to add to our CB group!

[CopenhagenColt]

Gimme some of these..

 

Godwin Igwebuike, S, Northwestern

Tegray Scales, ILB, Indiana Hoosiers

Trenton Thompson,DT, Georgia

Jeff Holland, Edge, Auburn

Hercules Mata'afa, Washington St.

JC Jackson, CB, Maryland

Holton Hill, CB, Texas

Levi Wallace, CB, Alabama

Tavarus McFadden, CB, Florida St.

Skai Moore, LB, South Carolina

Matthew Thomas, LB, Florida St.

Brett Toth, OT, Army

 

Depth and special teams, and a surprise or two

looks like Meeks may be gone already, but Hill, McFadden and maybe Toliver could still be worth a look

[MTC]

According to teammates, it looks like Stony Brook safety Chris Cooper is heading to Indianapolis.

HERCULES - HERCULES HERCULES!!!!!

[GuitarMD]

Looks like Q Meeks is going to be a Jaguar, ugh...

I think Hercules would be a nice LB addition.

[MTC]

South Dakota State DT Kellen Soulek has a camp invite from the Colts.

 

 

[JRnINDY]

Holton Hill signed with Vikings....off field concerns but could have pushed to start for us.

also they signed Hurcules

[bertjones7]

Another player with big time measurables:

 

Laulile is an explosive, well-built defensive tackle who put himself back on the draft map with an impressive pro day workout that included a 4.83-second 40-yard dash (official time, but some scouts had faster times) at 301 pounds.

Can overlook his age with those measurables

[MTC]

Wow. JT Barrett is a Colt.
