I like a lot of WRs still there, but I was talking about AJ Brown. 

 

Corner, same thing, but I was talking about Byron Murphy. Greedy Williams is a close second.

 

Safety, CGJ. Adderley will work as well. 

 

OL, Taylor and Ford.

 

I be really surprised if the pick was Williams. He's a press coverage corner that doesn't tackle

Sure he walked off the podium saying something along the lines of "that 34th pick is going to look pretty good to other teams". 

 

He knows what he has and I wouldn't be surprised if we fall further back.

 

Even thinning out the group for medical/character etc, there is a lot of 2nd and 3rd round talent available. Collecting more 2nd or 3rd round picks (maybe including early 4th) in another trade down is quite possible.

Give me three out of Greedy, Murphy, Justin Layne, AJ Brown, Hakeem Butler, McClaurin, Ben Banagu, Winovich, CGJ, Thornhill, Amani Hooker

I wonder if they have even considered Butler or Greedy?

 

They have met with the others

 

This will be interesting day

 

4 picks.

They didn't meet with Nelson last year. Anything is possible. I really think Banogu is a guy they might target. I heard the have a 2nd round grade on him.

34 - AJ Brown - perfect compliment to TY and has the potential to become our WR1 over the next few years.

 

48 - Taylor Rapp - his versatility would be a perfect addition to our safety group.

 

59 - Amani Oruwariye - in my opinion, a perfect fit for our scheme. He would provide amazing value at the bottom of the 2nd.

 

89 - Maxx Crosby or Anthony Nelson - underrated pass rushers. One that tested out of his mind with solid technical skills. The other with great physical measurements, good athleticism, and flashed elite ability to flatten and get to the QB (didn't do it nearly often enough though).

I just don't see Greedy being the pick for us. He doesn't fit our scheme or have the skillset we need our CBs to have.

Rapp could fit, but he cant play anything but in the box.

 

4.7 is barely good enough in College.

 

The other guys would fit well

I can definitely agree with that. I kind of like Thornhill more than Rapp, but I'm not sure where he would get picked.

For people who have us selecting a OT, what is the reasoning? To kick Smith inside?

We have zero depth at OT and AC is getting older

 

An OT to develop is key

 

I like Risner   

 

He could play all the positions on the OL

Who you targeting with 34/46/59

OT  (Little, Ford, Taylor) and 

WR (DK, Butler, AJ, Campbell).

Safety (Rapp, CGJ) 

Little would be a great pick anywhere in the 2nd.  all of those sound good.  so many options!

plus Greedy seems to have graduated from the Deion Sanders school of tackling

LOL

 

Sanders was better at tackling  :)      Which is NADA

 

Both you guys are lost. Everyone knows the best tackling school/program is Prime U lol funny.

What are you even talking about?

 

Exactly my point!

 

The post you responded to was my response to the hypothetical presented by another poster of "would you trade the #34 pick this year for the Browns 2020 1st rnd pick".  It was not a comment about last night's trade down; which I am assuming is what you thought the post was about.

Really hoping we pick up Thornhill.  He can do it all and I love his knack for picking the ball off. He's got great awareness, very fast and I love that 40 inch vertical.  We could have packages with Geathers underneath and Hooker and Thornhill deep. That gives us two ball hawks on the back end. You can stick him one on one with Tight Ends, plus he can play cornerback.

 

Rd 2

Paris Campbell

Juan Thornhill

Ben Banogu

 

Or

 

AJ Brown

Chauncey Gardner Johnson

Taylor, Risner or Omenihu(maybe)

Thornhill is great in coverage, but definitely needs to improve in the run game. I like him though.

 

I absolutely do not like Campbell, especially that high. He's a gadget player that offers little outside of the occasional screen. The value just isn't there, especially with Hynes providing similar value in that area.

I couldn't disagree more my friend but to each his own

You're tripping on Campbells route running but miss the fact that he's got great hands, and would be great with all those crossing routes we run.  Route running can be taught. Especially in the NFL where there's no classes to interrupt how much you spend on your craft.  He can make an immediate impact even without it. More of an impact than even some of these more refined receivers. I like him because of the high upside, speed and he's got great size for a slot receiver. He can be more than just a slot.   You're talking about what he is right now as a college player.  He can't help how they used him at Ohio State.  They mostly did that because he was a converted RB.

    • That has always been my issue going back to the Polian years. They preferred undersized players to fit this scheme. That was great when they had a lead and played indoors. The problem  is that teams started running the ball to keep Peyton on the bench. Plus, u get in bad weather and on grass, their speed is negated and they are just a bunch of undersized players getting blown off the ball. I am in favor of building a team that can play in any environment and that can run various schemes. I see flexibility with the offence, however the D is the same old. That's why I think this is an important draft defensively. Will the Colts stray from their previous tendancies of drafting players that fit the Seattle scheme or will they deviate and say draft a man corner? Last year we were all on the edge of our seats when a trade was made at 3. Will we get our qb at 4? We were all on pins and needles till they made that pick. This draft has that same excitement for me. At 15 will Ballard and company do something different? This team needs a play maker on D and I contend that is their biggest need. I don't believe they get that player moving back.  Sure u may get him at 15 but if u really want a playmaker, this just might be the year to say move up and get a guy like Mirchell and Latu who may fall because of the medical. I am not in favor of getting a wr or te. Richardson, if he is the guy, should deliver explosive plays with our current roster.  Jot a fan of Gus and this scheme, but I really don't think he has a lot to work with and Ballard kind of eluded to that in his post season pressers.
    • The move happened before the 1984 season. To put in perspective how great Luck was here, here are the top 3 QBs over 40 seasons here win wise: Regular Season as a starter 1. Peyton Manning = 141 wins 2. Andrew Luck = 53 wins 3. Jim Harbaugh = 20 wins   Post Season as a starter 1. Peyton Manning = 9 wins (won the SB in 2006) 2. Andrew Luck = 4 wins 3. Jim Harbaugh = 2 wins   Luck had 33 more wins than Jim did and 2 more playoff wins than Jim did. Luck is so far ahead of any QB (not named Peyton) regarding wins in the Regular Season and Post Season that it is laughable.   
    • I wonder whether there's anything to his reporting. Either way, I think he'd be better at safety / nickel. Even if the Colts view him as a boundary corner, I think they view corner as a Day 2 position.    DeJean definitely helped himself on his testing. I don't think the 40 time was concerning, even if I wasn't blown away by it. His explosive numbers were very good; if you watch his high school basketball clips, you'll see his explosiveness. And like stitches said, the Colts love explosive DBs, maybe even more than they love fast DBs.    And yeah, I side-eye any timed speeds when they don't happen at the Combine. There's hand timing, some surfaces are different, I've read that some tracks have a slight grade to them, etc. I don't know how they prepare all the 40 tracks, but I know that everyone that runs at the Combine gets the same surface, same conditions, etc.
