Devin Bush with 41" vertical:

 

Cameron Smith is way more athletic than I thought. I liked him a lot last year but he didn’t come out. Could be a nice day 3 pickup.

Charles Omenihu, who has been a riser in recent weeks, didn't test well for a 4-3 DE. He will probably have to play inside, or a 3-4 DE.

[Colt Overseas]

Jerry Tillery had a good day today. Looked fluid enough as an athlete which would be his biggest knock. If Ballard want's him, he might need to take him at #26 with the Pats needing iDL help as Brown and Shelton being FA's this month. I was watching him chat with the media, he spoke quite well. He had a dirty game a couple of years ago as a freshmen, but I don't see any character concerns with the older him.

 He lacked fluidity in the drills IMO.

Agreed and on tape

[SouthernIndianaNDFan]

Brian Burns looked very impressive to me, really stuck out...and I've been seeing Jerry Tillery terrorize defenses all year, so nothing new seeing him kill it lol

[ColtJax]

Brian Burns might fall to us, he's a very fast athletic DE/LB that would be fantastic.

[krunk]

I think Burns will still be available at 26.

That's false. If you measure something and it comes out to 1:4 it's a 1/4 NOT 2/8. Reason being is there's four 1/4's in one inch

i dont follow you, there are also 8 1/8s in an inch.  i was talking more about math problems than measurements though.  if you only have 4 of something then you wont get an answer in eighths anyway

I am on board for him at #26 if he is available.

[Defjamz26]

Trayvon Mullen is the CB I want, and that 40 time only helps. If not him, I like Oruwariye, who also ran fast.

He's one of my favorites. There is a real chance he will be in my top 10-15 players at the end of process. Something I heard that I don't know how to evaluate - reportedly some scouts in the league have concerns about his dedication to football. He's supposedly "too worldly and has interests outside of football"... I never knew how to evaluate this type of stuff... On tape he's a great prospect. 

[chad72]

For a Day 3 CB pick, Iman Marshall of USC intrigues me. He is very much a play off the WR type of CB that can occasionally be called to play press that he is not great at but good enough at, and would fit our system real well, I feel.

So, bottom line, it would come down to his interviews, and I am confident that Ballard and folks would have their work done right at the combine on that aspect. 

 

I don't have access to the full article but can someone with NDInsider access tell us what this says:

Combine interviews aren't long enough (for teams, but more than enough for players! ) for most to get a true evaluation of the player.

 

Most likely, anyone the Colts might draft in rounds 1 and 2 or possibly in 3 will be brought in for a personal workout.  Those are very important to most GM's/Clubs.

There they will perform (without a pre-set script) focusing items that fit our scheme, and a go through a detailed interview (especially if there are some red flags).  Betting Brian Decker is involved on those.

 

Then we'll bring in someone (or 2) we have no intention of drafting early as a smoke screen. And might draft one early without personal workout.

Byron Murphy looks really smooth in his on-field drills.

[Boiler_Colt]

The safeties are showing out. Abram, CGJ, Thornhill, Savage, Hooker having good days. I'll be surprised if the Colts don't address safety this offseason.

Chris Ballard's quotes from the combine:

 

Quote

Chris Ballard: #1 thing there's gotta be a sense of humility, to where they want to get better. They can take coaching, they can take criticism. You'll sit in a room with a kid, and you'll show him things he's doing wrong, and how he reacts to it, whether he reacts defensively, or does he say, 'you know what, those are things I really need to improve on'"

 

 

 

 

[krunk]

Are there in any backs in this draft that have a game similar to Michael "Burner" Turner? Same size and speed profile.
