Now the 34th and 44th loom large

[indyagent17]

Assuming we sign Rivers to a 2-3 year deal we still need to hit on our two second round picks

 

WR Mims, Aiyuk, Shenault  Our top 3 in 2020 Hilton, Campbell and Pascal

 

CB: Diggs, Gladney, Terrell  Our top 3 in 2020 Desir, Moore and Ya Sin

 

Or do you all see a different direction here?

[Orioles22]

Perhaps tight end over corner. I wouldn't mind using both of those picks to trade up if Ballard likes a receiver around 20-25.

[BProland85]

Prospects I like for the 34th and 44th picks include WR Justin Jefferson, OT Austin Jackson, OT Josh Jones, WR Jalen Reagor, WR Tee Higgins, QB Jordan Love.  

[MikeCurtis]

I was thinking the same thing

 

we will have a shot at a starting WR and CB at these picks

 

Good ones

 

Part of me STILL wants an OT that we can develop (and maybe go to RG for now)

[CoachLite]

There are a lot of excellent choices. Too many to choose from. Wait until the pick comes up.

[Hoose]

WR at 34; TE at 44; QB at 75. 

[indyagent17]

Of course this all depends on what happens in free agency

 

[Shepman]

We double down on DT and grab WR

[CR91]

Corner is not even in my list of needs. You go WR at 34 and QB at 44. I'm think Reagor and Hurts

[Indyfan4life]

Who’s to say we don’t trade back into the 1st? Not saying we will by any means. But I think the option is there. 
 

Have we even discussed such an option yet?

According to the value chart pick 34 is worth 560 points, and 44 is worth 460 points. This would give them a combined value of 1020, which would get us to the Falcons 16th pick, which is worth 1000 points. 

 

 

[shasta519]

My take...pass catchers (ideally two WRs) and a QB (if one slips) through Day Two. That simple.

 

If there is not a QB they like...then either another pass catcher or OT...perhaps they like Madabuike as much as I do.

IF Ballard is going to move up...like from #34...then I think future picks are used. That #44 pick is a primo spot for a playmaker.

[Barry Sears]

Not sure who would be worth moving up into Round 1 for in exchange for these two picks in the second.  If any of the 4 QBs aren't drafted in the first 12 picks after all the QB shuffling that's going on, then they might just be there for us with that 34th pick.

[Yoshinator]

I like Kmet at 34 and Aiyuk at 44. If we get Anthony Gordon at 75 to sit a year as well, the start of the draft would be perfect.

Unofficially, just a 1 year deal.

 

But if the Colts need another year, and he performed well enough, they can get him for a 2nd year.  PR won't go to a 3rd team under those circumstances.

I love the idea of double down on another DT..... and I would not put it pass Ballard if there is a DT that he likes that is on his big board.

[NannyMcafee]

Trade back up to the falcons spot and draft Kinlaw. 

 

But honestly I'd be okay with staying put. I think it's time to continue drafting above average depth to starter in the next 3 picks. 

 

This year is already exciting.

You and I are thinking along the same lines - Denzel Mims at No.34 and Cole Kmet at No.44, draft Anthony Gordon at 75, and Day 3 can be used on drafting for defensive and offensive depth.

I would be happy with this .......

 

This offense needs a TE and a WR.... It early enough that both should be first year starters

 

We need a future QB.... I’m a HUGE fan of Gordon

 

I still think we need some real depth at OT..... maybe round 4,5,6

[danlhart87]

Trade up for Love even if it means losing future 1st if he falls past 20.

 

If not take Ezra Cleveland

[FalseStart]

I like Raekwon Davis DT... same kind of player as Buckner and was coached by our new D Line coach at 44 or 75... I like Marlon Davidson DE... Akers RB, Johnson WR, Claypool WR/TE, Kmet TE... Taylor RB, Arnette CB, Cleveland OT and on and on...

[yankeeclipper]

2nd round  QB, WR/TE.

Honestly, I think Jefferson and Love are FOR sure gone by end of first round. Jones and Jackson may be as well.  Reagor and Higgins could be there at 34.  

 

I'd be happy with Higgins, Mims or Reagor as far as WR in one of those slots and Jones or even Cleveland at 44.

[will426]

Hope we go WR OT or DT (AGAIN)

[2006Coltsbestever]

I hope we go WR at 34. Rivers needs another weapon.

That's my gut reaction too, but you know what would be cool is if Campbell shows something this year. That alone makes a big difference imo.

I have a feeling Hines will have a huge year with Rivers at QB so that will help too.

All pass catchers will be having better years. I was so looking forward to year 2 of Hines with Luck after almost setting rookie records... .... sniff sniff... could have been so good. 

 

Ebron probably wants to come back now. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Maybe Mimms will be there at 34 the next we bring funchess back.

I bet he regrets quitting. Rivers loves his TE too. He was crying on Twitter how much he missed his boys.

Rivers only had one TE above 100 yards last year, and was 4th in total yards in the NFL... So he can do just fine with only one primary TE.

 

I'd take him (Ebron) back though if we don't draft a guy like Kmet or Okwu....

He probably burnt a bridge with Chris/Frank though... 

I also think Alie Cox could surprise many....

I think we will see more Cox too. He had that broken thumb the second half after Ebron left. I think Doyle will have a good year. 

[Two_pound]

Right now I have Mims at 34, Terrell at 44, and Brycen Hopkins at 75. Then Akeem Davis -Gaither in the 4th round. But there is still over 5 weeks to before the draft.

I forgot Sproles played with Rivers originally and Hines has been called our version of Sproles.

I mentioned it in a recent thread. I don't know what to seriously think about it. After we had Buckner and Rivers I had a strong feeling we might be looking to package our 2s and a future 2 to move back into the 1st and maybe grab Love, Herbert, or Eason if they fall. But the more I think about these moves I'm now leaning towards thinking the opposite and that we want to use those picks on the best options to have impacts now. WR, TE, and CB make the most sense to me based on need and value. I'm thinking we target a QB in the 3rd or later if at all. If we choose to keep Brissett and eat his contract hit, we could just wait until 2021 to get a QB if no opportunities present themselves.
