Colts select CB Julius Brents

[danlhart87]

 

FANTASTIC PICK LFG

Brents back to Indy

[tvturner]

That's a big time pick.

 

Brents could be a monster in the league

 

Wrote this a few days ago:

 

He’s 6’3” with 34 inch arms and and had fantastic testing at the combine

 

He’s played in both man and zone schemes during his stints at Iowa and KState.

 

Ball skills are great, he’s aggressive at the catch, knows how to move his feet in zone, and is a very willing run defender.

 

Add more physicality and reps to his press-man ability, get his hips to be fluid in motion, and I think he’s got a chance to be an absolute stud in the league.

[danlhart87]

So happy with this pick 

[DougDew]

RAS wins again.

[AKB]

Indy native?

[indyagent17]

No kidding, he’s a fantastic corner. And look at all the pics that we added.

[funktacious2]

Man oh man. Checking the boxes. Trade downs, got a player I like at a position we need. Good times. 

[Stephen]

Knew we were picking brents

[AKB]

QB, CB

 

Exactly what I wanted 

 

And we still have like 9 more picks 

Brents on the big bodies Rogers on the agile shifty wideouts. Kenny in the slot

Could be used to trade up in the 3rd.

I don't know nothing this year about prospects due to obsessing with the QBs, but hopefully this guy is good!

 

 

We got a lot of picks in the mid rounds for some OL depth as well.

[RollerColt]

Great pick. We have a QB and a CB. Offensive line next?

We definitely need some OL depth, as well as depth at DT, CB, LB, and WR.

Did they add just a 4 and a 5?

[CR91]

That's gonna make people happy

What's our next pick at?

Ballard truly  is the RAS king. I think Kent Lee Platte(founder of the RAS) needs an official spot on our scouting/FO staff  

 

But seriously, seems like a solid pick that fits what both Ballard and Gus like - big(6'3, 200), long(34" arms), physical corner with explosiveness and athleticism. Not as great linear speed, but his agility is excellent. Had good ball production too... 

[Goatface Killah]

Nice pick. I like big zone corners and he is a very big zone corner.

 

I love how physical he is coming up to make tackles against the run.

[coltsfanatic24]

Great pick. Julius has great physical attributes and has displayed the versatility to play press-man, off-man, zone, and roam into the slot.

[cdgacoltsfan]

Looks like a great pick. Did he go to HS in Indy area?

[Hawkeyecolt]

I was a big fan of his at Iowa. Great freshman year.  He was injured his second year. I was disappointed when he entered the portal during his third year. Iowa has been putting a lot of DB’s in the NFL so he was having trouble immediately cracking the starting lineup when he returned from his injury.  I was happy with his success at KSU. He’s definitely a better zone corner. 
 

 

 

[James]

Wanted him at 35. Got him at 44. Added a 4th and 5th.

 

Not gonna lie. Ballard is cooking.

[Dobbinblitz]

Ballard killing it right now. Excellent player and picked up a 4th and a 5th tonight

Surprise - Brent’s RAS is 9.99

agree. realistically the team isn't carrying 11 rookies so using one or twoof these 5ths to move up(or send 2 5ths for a 4th) makes sense

Ballard typically trades down a couple times per draft but usually trades back up into the late second or early third too

4th and 5th? I thought I saw 5th and 7th. A 4th is fantastic. O-Line with that pick?

Sell me on him, besides being a RAS Lord, what else does he bring

[GoColts8818]

I like it.  Hopefully he can’t start day one.  I had a feeling the second round pick almost had to be a corner given how big of a need it was.

Or we can use one to trade into the 3d from our early 4th. 

[TaylorStillTruckedYou]

The picture of Keion being * was a delayed pic from the TV before he was selected.  They updated the pic later and he was being congratulated.

 

The original twit who tweeted it with adverse comment didn't know what he was talking about.

Agreed.  Stay tuned.

[Coltsman1788]

I like the pick. Prototypical Ballard build and traits. Dude is hands on and plays tight coverage. May get hit with many PI’s early in his NFL career until he pays his dues and refs learn & adapt to his aggressive coverage style. I like how he comes up and hits.

[jchandler7]

I like!
