2024 NFL Draft Day 2 (Rounds 2 & 3) Discussion Thread ****NO SPOILERS****

[Solid84]

Why do we have the 86th pick? Have we traded a player? What am I missing?

[Iron Colt]

TAMPA!

[RollerColt]

Must be someone we really want and can’t wait for.

[w87r]

Now traded up in 5 of last 7 drafts.

[chad72]

We’re getting Jaden Hicks then since Texans got Calen Bullock causing us to move??? Ballard has gotten his safeties consistently in Rpund 3

[Solid84]

Texans took Bullock

 

Colts pick is in.

[New Zealands #1 Colts Fan]

This is why we traded back for 2 extra 5th rounders. We can move up in the 3rd and it only cost a 6th

If he's fallen this far, his medicals were most likely as big of a red flag as they were made out to be. I'd love to be wrong!

You could be right.    But there could be another dynamic in play.   In the summer of 23, Bucky Brooks had this juicy tidbit…

 

He surveyed all teams that run a 4-3 defense.  And he reported that HALF OF THEM now view LB as a deeply discounted position.   And half won’t take a LB until Day 3.   Not before R4.   Just like RB is for the offense.  
 

Just food for thought.

Hes a good get

[ChuggaBeer]

last trade up worked pretty well 

[chad72]

Interesting!!! Matt Gonclaves!!!

[Yoshinator]

I love the player, but a round early to me.

[Iron Colt]

Ugh. 

[IinD]

Always good to draft oline.

[chad72]

Oregon WRs haven’t done well in NFL, is that why Troy Franklin has dropped?

 

Franklin is definitely worth a 3rd but we got what we needed.

[Solid84]

Interesting. They must be really high on him to trade up. I like it.

[RollerColt]

OT from Pittsburgh. Interesting. I wonder if our new DL coach had some insight?

[NewColtsFan]

Wow….  We weren’t talking about OT as a possibility, were we?   

[Colt Overseas]

Sounds like a swing guard / tackle. Depth at G is needed.

Love when ivy League guys get drafted I don't know why. 

 

 

I do too. I also like to see players from small schools drafted by the NFL.

[Solid84]

Think we're moving him to OG? I'd think Freeland is still our swing tackle.

[Pelt]

Booger seems to think he'd be a pretty good guard.

I thought about it, but thought Ballard would pass because of the run. Gonslaves is one of the last possible starters left.

Give some competition to Will Fries

Odds are our new DL coach who came from Pittsburgh has some insight into this guy.   ESPN is raving about him saying he was hurt early in the season.  (Foot/toe)

[rock8591]

Like the pick, don't love it.

 

Would have preferred Jeremiah Trotter Jr here.

[Shive]

I honestly didn't pay too much attention to the tackle class, but it wasn't a position I really wanted to address this early.

[ColtStrong2013]

No. I was looking at some guys with versatility across the line. They made it clear with this pick that they want better tackle depth. Guys are hyping him up on espn. Say if it weren’t for injury, they would have talked about him a lot sooner. Sounds like a good swing tackle. 

[runthepost]

Guess he didn’t like those DBs 

[stitches]

Haven't watched him... no idea how I should feel about it... 

[Solid84]

Well, we're up again at 86.

Well Freeland didn’t exactly show out when he played.  Now we hopefully have two capable backups.

Are you sure? Not seeing it.

[NewColtsFan]

Now hoping for corner in R4.

I do also love the small school picks like you do. 

 

I remember going to a Princeton football game when some rb had a career day. Indy ended up drafting him, I forget his name. Felt so proud for having seen him live.. Lol

Oh, hurrah.  Goncalves is recovering from an injury suffered in September.

Great point! I completely overlooked this. Partridge may have had some insight on him.

Brett Kolmann said he thought he could be a better G than T.
