Moncrief 552 Posted April 10, 2012 If Mark Barron or Harrison Smith were there at our selection in the second round, would you take one of them? I realize we signed Zbikowski Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alfred87 24 Posted April 10, 2012 Mark Barron will likely not be there, but if he is, I say take him, he is a playmaker and a top 15 talent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moncrief 552 Posted April 10, 2012 I said safety so I had to give the people more than 1 choice. I understand Barron is a top 20 talent. I wanted him in the second earlier in the year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dan 765 Posted April 10, 2012 Only Barron because it would be a great steal. Otherwise no way - we have greater needs and everybody else would bee a reach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

funktacious2 592 Posted April 10, 2012 Even though I'm a fan of Best Pick Available, Safety is one of those positions I'd make an exception for. I'm sure someone just as talented and we need more will be there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MTC 6,204 Posted April 10, 2012 I wouldn't take Harrison Smith at 34. We have bigger needs.There are talented wide receivers at 34 such as Alshon Jeffery, Mohamed Sanu, and Stephen Hill. Reuben Randle will be there but I find him extremely overrated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coltsfanatic24 1,028 Posted April 10, 2012 if jenkins,fleener,hill,barron all fell to us i would still take mark barron. barron would fill the void left by bob sanders that we need. i dont think he'll make it past the bengals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coffeedrinker 7,100 Posted April 11, 2012 If a safety is the highest rated player on your draft board you most definitely take him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coltsfanej 253 Posted April 11, 2012 Yes on Barron. I would like him there... Maybe run some D with 3 safeties in to help with defending against 2 TE sets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coltsfanatic24 1,028 Posted April 11, 2012 Zbikowski?zbikowski is a godd ss but barron is much better and a big hitter. barron is the best ss prospect since seantaylor.he has the speed of a cb but he's also as big as some lb's. zbikowski 5'11 205lbs 4.8 40, barron 6'3 220lbs 4.47 40.

And Barron is hardly the best S prospect since Taylor. Earl Thomas, Eric Berry? Early first rounders. I think it's a waste to draft a S at all this year.

BOTT 12,074 Posted April 11, 2012 Zbikowski? i like tom z, but he has been a career backup. this reminds me of last year when people got excited about tommy harris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nobody 3,243 Posted April 11, 2012 i like tom z, but he has been a career backup. this reminds me of last year when people got excited about tommy harrisHe's played a lot of FS behind Reed, and got pushed out of SS by pollard. If he sucks, we can draft/sign a S next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gthatch15 4 Posted April 11, 2012 the colts do need a safety but its not a top priority. Our top needs go (assuming we draft Luck) CB, TE, WR, O-Line, RB. Pagano could make Barron into a star but to me, the colts should go with Fleener (if he's there), Josh Norman, Stephen Hill, or Reuben Randle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy 2,104 Posted April 11, 2012 No, we have Zib, and it would be silly if we signed him just for him to backup. It's not a need if you ask me. There are some players that are great and they fill a need like Fleener or some CBs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carlos Danger 984 Posted April 12, 2012 I'd take Barron in a heartbeat. Safety is a need and Harrison Smith is good, but there will be more value at #34 at CB and WR, IMO. If there were another DOMINANT safety available I might be tempted to take him if Jenkins, Fleener, Hill, and Jeffery all went in the 1st. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fvantagio 134 Posted April 12, 2012 Mods, please change the title of the thread to "Would You Waste The 34th Pick?" in other words, why would we?Because Barron has the potential to be a play maker in the secondary which would give us the best safety tandem in the league. Which could go a long way in improving the defense. Also the fact that we are 3 years away from being real SB contenders so its best now to pick up on superstar talent even if it isnt the biggest need, since we cant cover all the needs this draft anyways... But besides that, nothing i suppose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OZOC01 52 Posted April 12, 2012 Barron will likely not make it out of the 1st round. Besides, as several fellow posters have already pointed out, the Colts have more pressing needs than safety. The Colts should be ok with Bethea and Zibikowski for this season. Zibikowski already knows the new defensive system the Colts D will run, so that will help out the other DBs. Colts need to go WR; Stephen Hill or Mohamed Sanu (unless CB Stephon Gilmore is avaliable)... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Warhorse 3,458 Posted April 12, 2012 Yes to Barron, won't be there, so moot point. I also would take Trent Richardson, but he won't be there, so also moot. Point is, there is no point in including Barron.By need....TE, CB, OG.By draft depth....WR, 4/3 DEBest player available or trade down? That is the question.

CCH 250 Posted April 12, 2012 No, but I think Harrison Smith and Mark Barron will be great NFL players one day. We have bigger needs, I just hope someone picks them up before the Patriots do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Peytonator 2,585 Posted April 12, 2012 I have my doubts about Barron. I don't watch film or anything like that, but his size reminds me of Taylor Mays who a lot of people were enamoured with. He has been nothing but a bust. You want your Safeties to have range in the passing game, an ability to play one half of the field in the deep zone. If you're going to draft him to play in the box, that tells me your front 7 isn't doing its job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moncrief 552 Posted April 12, 2012 Im asking because its not out of the realm of possibility. Safeties don't typically get taken in the 1st. I realize Barron will, the guy has to much potential. I just wanted to ask because given all our needs would you take a Mark Barron in the second. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
