Colts Draft Visit Thread (Formal & Informal)

[philba101]

With the beginning of several College All-Star games starting this evening with the East-West Shrine Bowl, teams have already started the process of meeting informally with participating players. Teams are allowed to meet informally with participating players in between practices. Later this week will be the Senior Bowl (2/4/23). The HBCU Legacy Bowl will take place on (2/25/23) just days before the 2023 NFL Combine kicks off in Indianapolis (2/28-3/6). Starting (3/7) teams are permitted to host 30 draft-eligible, non-local players for physical exams/visits until April 19. The teams will later be able to host additional draft-eligible players at their individual facilities on their Local Draft Day. Also beginning March 7, teams are allowed to begin video or telephone interviews with draft-eligible players. The individual Pro Day schedule can begin on (3/7) as well. The NFL Draft will take place this year in Kansas City, Missouri (4/27-4/29).

Was Ballard with the Bears organization when they drafted Matt Forte out of Tulane?

This is a Ballard edge rusher built in a lab. Knowing his tape I’d say there’s like an 80% chance we draft him lol. He’s this year’s Alec Pierce.

Soon as they announced his name as he was getting ready for his 40, Ballard probably told his scouts to move him up the draft board lol.

Jones is actually from Indianapolis...

After his combine, I don’t see Yaya leaving my mock draft for the rest of the draft season…

He’s a monster would fit well as RG or RT if he can beat out Smith

I confess I have zero interest in an O-lineman who is 6’8” and 375.   Hrs a pure RT. 
 

Then again, the Eagles LT is 6’8” and 365. But the big kid from New Zealand is a much better athlete. 
 

Perhaps this is a Steichen influence?

I have to be honest, after last year's O-line performance, I don't care what size they are as long as they protect the QB better. The NFL linemen seem to get bigger every year.

Both Will Levis and Anthony Richardson will have top 30 visits with the Colts:

 

 

 

According to Dane Brugler the Colts will also have top 30 visits with Tennesse QB Hendon Hooker and Purdue QB Aidan O'Connell

^new Dayo type - big, long, athlete... inside outside versatility. 

 

 

Richardson with top 30 visit on Tuesday/Wednesday:

That red mark for the weight of Keion White is strange.  
 

285 for a DL who is 6’5” and has potential in either a 3-4 system or 4-3 is a perfectly appropriate weight.   Not hard to put on or take off any pounds.   And even if you preferred a little more or less,  they could have given him a yellow grade.   But red?    Huh?    Strange. 
 

Doesn’t add up to me at all.

I think the color designation is automatic for the position specified. He's designated as a DT here so he's in teh 24th percentile of weight for DT. If you put him in the DE category he will be green there.

Some solid names in the local pro day this year...

Here's a tracker of all confirmed visits, meetings, interviews and private workouts the Colts have had with prospects:

I think if he's there the Colts might use one of the 5th round picks on him.
