A Hoose Draft

[Hoose]

Thought I'd join in the fun since we're all stuck waiting to be released from purgatory and hoping the Draft gets here soon. 

My thinking on these picks: I went the no QB route; I picked two WRs though not back to back. These two draft picks would join TY; Pascal; Campbell; and Fountain. I figured Castonzo's replacement would have to be nabbed this year and that means Day 2; and picked a TE mid Draft rather than early. Also decided to roll with the DE's already on the team; if we add one I expect it to be a late FA.  I'd appreciate your thoughts. 

 

2 (a). Brandon Aiyuk, WR

2 (b). Ezra Cleveland, OT

3. Bryan Edwards, WR

4. Albert Okwuegbunam, TE

5. Michael Ojemudia, CB

6 (a). Michael Warren II, RB

6 (b) Darryl Williams, C/G

Like every pick but Edwards. Aiyuk is a fun WR, Cleveland is my favorite day 2 OT, the day 3 guys I wouldn't mind. Would take Gordon or Hurts in the third instead of Edwards as Rivers, Brissett, and Kelly won't be on the team next year. Otherwise, great job!

[Defjamz26]

I like this mock. Nice job.

[joecolts]

One of the better ones I've seen.  Realistic, well thought out and Ballard(esque)  

[MPStack]

E. Cleveland would add valuable depth to the line and eventually replace AC. 
 

Nice mock

[pacolts56]

Nice one Hoose.... only change I'd make is I'd hit us for one more D-lineman and take NT Davon Hamilton rather than Edwards at #75.

 

Your late round guys Warren and Williams are excellent picks. 

[MikeCurtis]

Good Mock..... but two WRs?
 

[coltsfan40]

Good job like pacolts says NT better at 75.

[Hoose]

Thanks for the input. Good thoughts. My thinking was that Ballard will double down on WR to make sure he gets it right. It’s the critical position of weakness on the team right now IMO. Especially since TY’s health is overly important to the O. They cannot remain that dependent on one player. So I double dipped. I do see that NT could use a shot of talent too. 

[NewColtsFan]

You might have to reverse Cleveland and Aiyuk...   don’t see Cleveland lasting to pick 44.  Think we’d be lucky to get him at pick 34.

 

Otherwise...    really nice job.   
 

Well done!

Not sure why you’d think none of our three QBs won’t be on the roster next year?

 

None of them?   I think the odds of that happening would be very low...

I meant none will be under contract unless they get re-signed. Sorry, should of clarified that.

I get that. I’d love to see both on the Colts. My brain goes WR first and I think Aiyuk is the gem who lasts past the first round......but Cleveland is a first rounder in most any other draft so it’s a close call. 

[Hoose]

The more I think about it, if I had this to do over again I’d pick Ezra Cleveland at 34. I suspect NCF is right; he won’t be there at 44. A very good WR will be around at 44 though.  And Cleveland, in any other year, would likely be a sure fire first rounder. You’re looking at Castonzo’s replacement. There are few decisions more important than that one for the Colts. 

[AZColt11]

Nice mock.  You won't make any friends with the QB club, but this fits most needs pretty well.

Great point. An OT for the future would be a good investment 

 

I think Pittman would be a great choice at 44

[Hoose]

I like Pittman too. Amazing WR draft this year to see that guy consistently mocked to the mid 2nd round. But I think he'll be there at 44 if the Colts want him.
