Year 25! Dr. T's Annual Colt's Draft Contest for 2024

[IndyEV]

Final Rough Draft…

 

(Yes on trading up a few spots)

 

Round 1 - #15(trade up)

A. Terrion Arnold-CB(ALA)

B. Dallas Turner-Edge(ALA)
C. Nate Wiggins-CB(CLEM)
 

*Unless Colts trade up to take top WR,  Defense needs more help all around. I think Bowers(Jets)/QMitchell won’t fall to 15 and Colts could trade up for Turner!

 

Round 2 - #46

A. Bralen Trice-Edge(WASH)

B. Kool-Aid Mckinstry-CB(ALA)

C. Braden Fiske-DL(FSU)

 

*Kool-Aid could maybe fall this far if teams were to still question his foot injury, and Colts should take him here if they go Offense rnd 1. I think Trice would be an absolute steal here even though his measureables weren't great at the combine. He was though one of the most productive Ends in the country last year. Fiske is a Bjern clone that I wouldnt want Colts to draft, but I can see them doing so.
 

Round 3 - #82

A. Malachi Corley-WR(WKU)
B. Javon Bullard-S(UGA)
C. Khyree Jackson-CB(ORE)
 

*Corley, I can see as a perfect fit for Colts here. He’s not a top level wr in this draft, but just under that level. Good YAC wr that reminds me a little of Garçon. I put Bullard/Jackson this rnd even though they may not fall this far, but Colts have visited with them.

 

Round 4 - #117

A. Audric Estime-RB(ND)
B. Brenden Rice-WR(USC)
C. Mason McCormick-OG(SDSU)

*Most have Colts taking the LVille rb, but I would love them to take Estime! Even though Im a homer with ND players. He would be a great #2 rb behind our OL! Colts should also take a chance on Jerrys kid with hopes of some similarities of his pops!

 

Round 5 - #151

A. Zac Zinter-OG(MICH)

B. Roger Rosengarten-OT(WASH)
C. Luke McCaffrey-WR(RICE)

 

*McCormick/Zinter/Rosengarten would all fit well with OL depth here. Im not 100% sold on if Kelly will ever be at his best ever again, and I still dont like the depth at RG/RT. Smith needs to remain healthy all season long! This is an extremely important year to keep our QB healthy when in the pocket! Also, why not take a chance on a McCaffrey? Hopefully Luke can be as skilled as his brothers!
 

Round 6 - #191

A. Kitan Oladapo-S(OREST)

B. Edefuan Ulofoshio-OLB(WASH)

C. Tory Taylor-P(Iowa)

 

*Colts should continue their streak of drafting a player whose name we all cant pronounce correctly in this round! Also a perfect time to draft Punt God if Rigo continues to struggle!
 

Round 7 - #234

A. Jordan Travis-QB(FSU)
B. Joshua Cephus-WR(UTSA)
C. Frank Gore Jr-RB(SMISS)

 

*Travis would be a good replacement for Sam In practices!  Also, Cephus could be a steal, even though I think he’s had some serious off the field issues. Finally, Gotta try and get Frankie Jr unless the 49ers draft him! 
 

 

 

I am all for the Colts bringing in any IU/ND players for udfas! Aaron Casey could be one, or even Gus Bradleys son at QB.

Final edition, call it a less penalty driven team draft.

 

The Colts trade up on Day 1.

 

Round 1

a)       WR Rome Odunze (Washington) – led all receivers in CFB in pass interference call draws with 9 in 2023.

b)      LCB Quinyon Mitchell (Toledo) – Only had 3 penalties in the last two seasons.

c)       WLB Edgerrin Cooper (Texas A&M)

 

Round 2 

a)      OL Cooper Beebe (Kansas State) – Jack of all trades OL No matter where Cooper Beebe lines up, he produces elite play. At right tackle in 2020, he was a PFF honorable mention All-Big 12 honoree. As a left tackle in 2021, he was named first-team All-Big 12. In 2022 at left guard, Beebe was a second-team All-American.  Beebe's 94.0 pass-blocking grade over the past two seasons led all offensive linemen in college football. During that span, he didn’t allow a sack on 770 pass-blocking snaps.  Beebe is the only FBS guard who ranks in the top five in both PB (4th) and RB (2nd).  He still hasn’t allowed a sack since the 2020 season. 2023 earned college football midseason all-America First Team.   Very few penalties throughout his career.

b)      FS/NCB Javon Bullard (Georgia) – only had 5 penalties in college.

c)       SS Jaden Hicks (Washington State) – 2023 PFF TOW 2 honors. Leader on defense that off to a strong start for 2023 earning a 90.1 PFF grade in coverage with one interception after 3 weeks, dropped another but forced 4 incompletions.  Great field and anticipation skills along with ball production.  Versatile can align up in FS, SS, LB, or nickel.  Only had 3 penalties in 2023.

 

Round 3

a)       CB Khyree Jackson (Oregon) – 2023 PFF TOW 4 honors.  Jackson had a decent Senior Bowl Week and is best in Zone Coverage. Jackson’s got excellent height we covet at 6’3” with great weight at 203 pounds, with ideal arms 32” and the span of 78” and good 4.44s-Forty.  Only committed 4 penalties in 2023.

b)       DB Dadrion Taylor-Demerson (Texas Tech) - only 7 career penalties with 200 tackles, 57 stops, 11 pressues, 3 sacks, 16 passes defended, and 10 interceptions.

c)       LCB Kris Abrams-Draine (Missouri) - 2023 PFF TOW 4 honors.  After 6 games leads all FBS players with 8 PBUs (1.8 PDPG) while adding 3 INTs.   10 combined interceptions and (7) forced incompletions are the most among Power Five CBs while only allowing 11 catches all season. 2023 college football midseason all-America First Team.  His 86.8 coverage grade is 5th highest in the FBS allowing just 107 passing yards and 11 receptions on the season.

d)      SWR Malik Washington (Virginia) – Josh Downs 2.0 and only committed 4 total penalties in five years (52 career games).

 

Round 4

a)      RG Zak Zinter (Michigan) 2022 PFF Week 5, 11, 12 TOW Honors. 2023 earned college football midseason all-America Second Team. Wasn’t called for a single penalty on 649 snaps.

b)      FS Cole Bishop (Utah) junior if he declares – After 5 weeks in 2023, targeted 13 times, 4 catches allowed, 2 INTs, and 4.8 passer rating allowed.  Had a decent Senior Bowl week. Ejected for a targeting penalty.  In 3 years only allowed 7 penalties.

c)       RB Isaac Guerendo (Louisville) – 9.97 RAS

 

Round 5

a)       WLB Michael Barrett (Michigan) PFF TOW 7 honors, round 5 projection had an outstanding year with an overall 90.6 defense grade only behind Edgerrin Cooper.  An 82.5 run defense grade, a 93.5 pass rush grade, and a 77.0 coverage grade.  Didn’t commit a defensive penalty in more than 1800 defensive snaps.

b)      SS Malik Mustapha (Wake Forest) – Zero career penalties

c)       SS Kitan Oladapo (Oregon St) – only 4 accepted penalties in final 30 games.

 

Round 6

a)       Edge Jalyx Hunt (Houston Christian)

b)      WR Ryan Flournoy (SE Missouri St)

c)       Edge Javontae Jean-Baptiste (ND)

 

Round 7

a)      LG/C Michael Jurgens (Wake Forest) – Only one of two guards in the Power Five with an 80.0 PB and RB grades.   After 10 weeks has an 86.5 PFF grade with his 90.0 run-blocking grade is nearly 5 points higher than the next-best guard.  2023 earned college football midseason all-America Second Team.  Only committed 3 penalties all season in 2023.

Possibly Final Final Draft…

 

(Yes on trading up a quite a few spots)

 

Round 1 - #15(trade up)

A. Terrion Arnold-CB(ALA)

B. Dallas Turner-Edge(ALA)
C. Marvin Harrison Jr-WR(OHSHT)
 

* WTH…Colts trade up to take top WR(MHJ) based on all the recent fake rumor mills. Defense needs more help all around though. I think Bowers(Jets)/QMitchell won’t fall to 15 and Colts could trade up for Turner also!

 

Round 2 - #46

A. Bralen Trice-Edge(WASH)

B. Kool-Aid Mckinstry-CB(ALA)

C. Braden Fiske-DL(FSU)

 

*Kool-Aid could maybe fall this far if teams were to still question his foot injury, and Colts should take him here if they go Offense rnd 1. I think Trice would be an absolute steal here even though his measureables weren't great at the combine. He was though one of the most productive Ends in the country last year. Fiske is a Bjern clone that I wouldnt want Colts to draft, but I can see them doing so.
 

Round 3 - #82

A. Malachi Corley-WR(WKU)
B. Javon Bullard-S(UGA)
C. Khyree Jackson-CB(ORE)
 

*Corley, I can see as a perfect fit for Colts here. He’s not a top level wr in this draft, but just under that level. Good YAC wr that reminds me a little of Garçon. I put Bullard/Jackson this rnd even though they may not fall this far, but Colts have visited with them.

 

Round 4 - #117

A. Audric Estime-RB(ND)
B. Brenden Rice-WR(USC)
C. Mason McCormick-OG(SDSU)

*Most have Colts taking the LVille rb, but I would love them to take Estime! Even though Im a homer with ND players. He would be a great #2 rb behind our OL! Colts should also take a chance on Jerrys kid with hopes of some similarities of his pops!

 

Round 5 - #151

A. Zac Zinter-OG(MICH)

B. Roger Rosengarten-OT(WASH)
C. Luke McCaffrey-WR(RICE)

 

*McCormick/Zinter/Rosengarten would all fit well with OL depth here. Im not 100% sold on if Kelly will ever be at his best ever again, and I still dont like the depth at RG/RT. Smith needs to remain healthy all season long! This is an extremely important year to keep our QB healthy when in the pocket! Also, why not take a chance on a McCaffrey? Hopefully Luke can be as skilled as his brothers!
 

Round 6 - #191

A. Kitan Oladapo-S(OREST)

B. Edefuan Ulofoshio-OLB(WASH)

C. Tory Taylor-P(Iowa)

 

*Colts should continue their streak of drafting a player whose name we all cant pronounce correctly in this round! Also a perfect time to draft Punt God if Rigo continues to struggle!
 

Round 7 - #234

A. Jordan Travis-QB(FSU)
B. Joshua Cephus-WR(UTSA)
C. Frank Gore Jr-RB(SMISS)

 

*Travis would be a good replacement for Sam In practices!  Also, Cephus could be a steal, even though I think he’s had some serious off the field issues. Finally, Gotta try and get Frankie Jr unless the 49ers draft him! 
 

 

 

I am all for the Colts bringing in any IU/ND players for udfas! Aaron Casey could be one, or even Gus Bradleys son at QB. 

****(Had to change MHJ instead of Wiggins rnd 1!)
