The RBs started running the 40... 

 

I will be posting some notable times... 

 

Ryquell Armstead 4.46

Nick Brossette was slow at 4.72

Miles Gaskin 4.59

Damien Harris 4.58

Darrell Henderson 4.53 -> 4.37 in second run !!!!!!! 

Justice Hill, 4.40.... he also jumped 40 in the vertical jump

Elijah Holyfield 4.79??? damn? 

Montgomery - 4.64... not amazing, but good enough. 

Miles Sanders 4.50

Jordan Scarlett 4.49

Singletary 4.66 - not good for his size.

Dexter Williams 4.56

James Williams 4.58

^i think James Williams is a sleeper. Would definitely take a look at him in the mid-late rounds.

Trayveon Williams 4.51

Myles Gaskin's well-rounded resume has always impressed me, can run and catch. If he were 10-15 lbs bigger, he might be a certain Day 2 pick. Now, there is a small chance he slides to Day 3. I would not mind drafting him with our 4th at all.

Yeah he is. I'm turned off by his skinny legs and ankles, but if he does well in agility testing, I might have to give him another look.

They should add new measurements... "ankle diameter" and "calf radius" :D

Don't say that too loud, they might hear you and take it seriously. And if Mayock has any say, they'll start measuring the "bubble." :woah:

James Williams is incredibly well-rounded back. He played in a system that practically never runs the ball and still had 12 TDs in his last season running the ball... he also had 84 catches for over 600 yards and 4 TDs as a receiving back in his senior season... again those are a bit inflated because of the offense he played in... but... it does show he can catch the ball and he was relied to catch the ball. If he's available in the 5-7th round... I'd pick him without much hesitation..

I really like the idea of drafting someone like Charles Omenihu in the 2nd round. He could be an ideal replacement for Jabaal Sheard as that LDE that sets a strong edge, he is outstanding against the run, has great power and length. There is good upside too as a pass rusher, he has good get-off, motor, long arms and came bend pretty well for a big guy. Looking forward to see how he tests.

He has those Darius Leonard arms...

He looks similarly rangy too... he doesn't have the same type of insane production coming out of college, but that's why he won't be drafted in the early second most probably. Lets see how he tests this weekend... 

 

Edit: I just checked his statsheet for the season - he actually does have pretty good stats - 94 tackles, 7.5 TFL, 3.5 sacks, 5PD, 2 FF... why is he not being talked about more in draft conversations? @NewColtsFan give us more on Okereke. What are the worries about him and what do you think are his best attributes?

it's hard to tell from this post, you were taught what, to reduce or not to reduce, that is the question?

 

 

 

The only time you don't reduce is when the measurement is a 16th.  If I need a cut at 13 1/4 it's 13 1/4. It's not 13 2/8 th. 

 

All this measurement talk is humorous. Not that I smoke  but that'd be funny. Calls dealer, hey bro....let me get a 2/8 LOL....

yeah, not much else to talk about at the moment.

 

In construction it's a 16th, apparently for the cattle call of the combine it's an 8th.

Has anyone read the scouting report on NFL.com for this guy?  Sometimes I don't know what Lance is thinking when he types these things.  Here is an example from the Metcalf, weaknesses.

Rushes through pattern ingredients rather than developing their flavors as a route chef

Does Metcalf have the off the field issues like Boston?

No. By all accounts he's a very impressive young man with great work ethic and his teammates seem to love him too(I've heard several interviews of Ole Miss players heaping praise on him). 

 

The biggest knocks on him are his injury that cut his season short(medicals will be important, but reportedly he's been cleared for football activity already and he will participate in all the tests and on-field drills. The other knock on him is - limited production and limited route tree.

I hope Butler shows good speed I'd love to have him here just don't want him shooting too far up the board 

 

If Butler runs anything under 4.5, he won't be there for us at No.59. You can't teach size and the punishing attitude that he plays with. 

 

Can someone tell me if the official times seem to be consistently lower or higher than the recorded unofficial times?

If he runs under 4.5 I'm drafting him at 26 without bating an eye... If he runs under 4.5 he might not be there at 26 for us to pick him.

Honestly wasnt high on WR at 26 but I agree now seems the D players that could fall have questionable traits like size and struggles in Run D

Great, then there would be discussions of whether or not cankles would justify a player going in the top 10. 

Well you see those with candles really have the potential to blow up.....lol

Fant equals Ebron.

 

They play the same position.   Do the same things.    You still want him at 26?   Just asking....

Kaden Smith comes out a year early and runs the slowest time of any tight end.    For a smart Stanford guy, he sure made a dumb decision.    

 

Cost himself $$$$$!!

Fant is faster than Ebron(4.51 vs 4.60). I don't think I'd draft him because I think there is a good chance there will be someone else I like better or about the same at a more premium position. BUT... if we did draft him, I would absolutely be cool with it. I think he's an elite talent at the position. 

 

BTW I don't think they do the exact same things. I think Fant is a much better blocker. He's not liability on blocking downs like Ebron. I think Fant can do similar things to Ebron as a weapon while having reliable hands AND being able to actually be used on running downs. He's definitely not dominant run blocker, but IMO he's OK at it.

WR Michael Tutsie ERFA – 840k?   Of the above really like to see the Colts resign Ronnie Harrison, Dayo Odeyingbo, Kylen Granson, Dallis Flowers, and Segun Olubi.  In order to free up cap space it wouldn't shock me to see Braden Smith traded.  Not ideal but only way at this point in time to see freeing up available cap space.  Would love to add OC Connor Williams who is still a free agent but suffered an ACL injury late in 2023.  Before his injury Williams ranked as the 3rd best OL in 2023 in zone-heavy scheme.  Recoding a league best 92.4 run-blocking grade on zone concepts and equally impressive in pass protection allowing just six pressures on 280 pass sets.    No doubt the Colts love speed on their offense.  Jonathan Taylor was recently listed as one of the fastest players in the NFL last season.  Then the Colts drafted Anthony Gould who in 2023 Week 3 hit a top speed of 21.6 mph.  As UDFAs the Colts then brought in NC State Trent Pennix who in Week 6 clocked the fastest time by a TE at 20.6 MPH but also is a capable RB.  Colts also added QB Jason Bean (Kansas) who in Week 9 clocked an impressive 22.4 mph T5 fastest player in 2023.   Mock Draft   Round 1 WLB Harold Perkins Jr. (LSU) - As a true freshman led all LBs in Power 5 with a 91.0 pass-rush grade and second among all LBs in the country with 18 QB knockdowns (sacks/hits) and tied for second in the country with 4 *.  In 2023 as a true off-ball LB he struggled as a run defender but flashed in coverage, 81.1 coverage grade.  At the end of 2023 now recorded 27 TFLs and 13 sacks with 7 forced fumbles.  Made 2022 college football all-America Freshman Team.  In 2022 his 87.6 pass-rush grade by true freshman is 3rd best since the 2014 era, behind (Rueben Bain Jr-2023 and Myles Garrett-2014).  2022 PFF TOW 11 honors.  Like JOK, Perkins has a chance to win the Butkus Award.  Both JOK and Perkins have similar builds and ran a 4.42s-forty.  Do expect Perkins’ stats to dip if he does move to MLB and probably drop him to Round 2 grades much like Edgerrin Cooper in 2024 Draft Class.  Quick to drop into zone and covers enough ground to be Tampa-2 MIKE but some feel better suited as a WLB maximize range/speed.  Expecting Shaquille ‘Darius’ Leonard 2018-2021 vibes along with JOKs 2021-2023 production traits.  Both were drafted in Round 2 but should been first rounders.  Perkins replaces EJ Speed.   Round 2 Edge/RDE Elijah Alston (Miami) –Alston was an All-Sun Belt selection in 2023.  In 2023 he had a 91.0 overall grade and 90.5 pass-rushing grade based on 235 pass rush snaped while at Marshal Alston also racked up 36 QB pressures, 5 sacks plus 24 defensive stops during this period.  By mid-November Alston was ranked 4th best (Marshawn Kneeland was #3) Edge behind #1 Latu whom the Colts selected in Round 1.   2023 College Football All-Sun Belt Team.  Looking forward to the Cal game and how he does against RB Jaydn Ott, RT Victor Stoffel, and LG Rush Reimer.  Duke’s new RT Micah Sahakian matchup is another one would like to see.  RB Quinton Cooley (Wake Forest) who transferred from Liberty and earned 2023 College Football All-CUSA Team is another key matchup.  Finally, TE/WR Oronde Gadsden II of Syracuse could test his coverage skills.  The Colts done well and am looking forward to seeing Paye/Latu tandem then creating another one with Odeyingbo and Alston.  Ebukam will be a FA after 2025 but could be cut/traded save cap space.  Close build to Ebukam and Leo with 2” taller than Avery with Avery an upcoming FA and no guarantee we can resign Odeyingbo with the minimal cap space currently projected.   Round 3 LT J.C. Davis (Illinois) - The New Mexico Lobos ran a zone-scheme concept 318 times in 2023 and Davis was on the field for 316 of those snaps where he helped the team earn a 91.5 rushing grade with 58 explosive runs.  Davis is well-rounded earning a 78.6 inside-zone run grade and a 78.4 outside-zone run grade.  See how well Davis does after transferring the Big 10 this season.  Overall, 82.4 run-blocking grade in 2023.  Comparison Illinois Isaiah Adams was drafted #71 by Arizona and was ranked 8th best zone OL in 2023 and Davis was 5th best.  In 2022 Davis earned a 66.8 overall PFF grade and in 2023 had an 87.1 pass-blocking grade.  If the Colts do trade/cap release Braden Smith than Davis is a high target to hopefully take early to replace him.   Round 4 TE Jalin Conyers (Texas Tech) - In 2022 Conyers forced 21 missed tackles which led all TEs in the country.  Plus, ranked 4th in receiving yards after contact (170).  As a redshirt freshman in 2021 had a 73.5 pass-blocking grade while playing at Arizona State.  Conyers can be elusive with the ball in his hands.  In his first season was used heavily as a run-blocker (2021) and excelled as a blocker ranking him 4th in the Pac-12.  Back in August 2023 Rick Spielman said he may be the best run-blocking TE in the class behind Cade Stover.  Considered a true Y TE efficient at run-blocking and can catch with run-after ability.  Spielman said last year would have had a Late Day 2 grade, while Ryan Wilson says Rounds 3-4.  Potential to be a red zone monster in the NFL if he continues to grow his game.  Last year Round 4 was where tight ends were drafted and expect the same again in 2025.  Replaces Mo Alie-Cox.   Round 5 Edge/RDE Anton Juncaj (Arkansas) – 2023 College Football FCS All-America Team while at Albany.  2022 PFF grade of 75.1.  2023 final defense grade of 91.3, run defense 87.4, pass rush 90.6 and 68.5 coverage grade and racked up 55 tackles (34 solo), 21.5 TFL, 15 sacks, 3 PD and forced 5 fumbles.  Key matchups against RB Ollie Gordon II (Oklahoma St) the Reigning Doak Walker Award Winner from 2023 and projected first rounder LT Kelvin Banks Jr (Texas).   Round 6 Rover/SLB-SAF Justin Barron (Syracuse) - 2023 College Football All-ACC Team.  Defensive Captain. 6’4” 231 pounds had 0.5 sacks, 3 *, 1 FR, 1 INT, and 8 PDs in 2023 (81.4 PFF grade).  In 2022 had 64 tackles and 5 TFLs.  Reminds me of Jaylon Carlies whom the Colts just drafted in Round 5P151.  Key matchup versus Cal and RB Jayden Ott.  WR Eric Singleton Jr (Georgia Tech), WR Kevin Concepcion (NC State), WR-X Ricky White (UNLV), RB Desmond Reid, TE Justin Joly (UConn).  Solid in zone coverage.   Round 7 SS Mishael Powell Miami (FL) – Powell transferred from Washington.  In Week 8 he clocked 21.0 mph.  In 876 snaps in 2023 Powell played 477 in the slot, 165 in the box, and 122 at FS finishing with a strong 73.9 coverage and 69 defensive grades.   Potential UDFAs ·         QB KJ Jefferson (Arkansas) - 2023 PFF TOW 2 honors ·         R3-UDFA RT Jalen Travis (Iowa State) 6’7” 310 pounds - While at Princeton finished with an overall 80.7 PFF Grade and 9th best OT in D1 (89% pass blocking and 75% run blocking grades). – Much like OT Tyler McLellan (Campbell) signed with Chargers, project to UDFA in 2025.  See how he does at Iowa State against better competition as he graded slightly behind Kiran Amegadjie (Yale) who was drafted in Round 3 P11 by the Bears in 2024 NFL draft.  Listed as backup behind Tyler Miller. ·         LT Adam Karas (Air Force) - After 9 weeks Karas has an 83.9 run-blocking grade and an overall PFF grade of 87.4.  Overall, 86.3 PFF grade with just one penalty and 1 QB hurry on 296 total snaps.  Decent height 6’4” ·         RT Josh Fryar (OSU) -
