2024 NFL Draft Day 3 (Rounds 4 through 7) Discussion Thread ****NO SPOILERS****

[CardiacColts]

That is a solid pick up! Love it! The draft has gone much better than I could have anticipated. Really liking the talent we are bringing on board.

[w87r]

Our trenches are loaded. Both sides.

[Mike06181]

Wisconsin oline are solid picks. They are well schooled on oline play

Nice Tanor is stud 

Absolutely. He was one of "my guys" as well, so I'm content.

And still have (3) 5ths. 

 

Its only going to get better.

[RollerColt]

Hey, I actually predicted we’d go for a center in the mid rounds lol. Not often I’m right about that!

The best way to counter Stroud and Houston. I’m very happy with our draft.

Well Ballard did say he liked oline depth in  mid rounds

[Solid84]

Love Bortolini. Great pick by the Colts. They are knocking it out of the park so far!

[Defjamz26]

McCormick went to the Steelers but that’s okay since we got Tanor.

Wisconsin OL was very penalty prone and Tanor was part of the issue.  Just now had to go back and double check his history.  Had 5 penalties in 2022.  To me that’s never a good sign on a shorter college career compared to 16-18 games in the NFL. 

[Stephen]

We are pretty good at finding  undrafted free agents that make the team as well so we may still get a steal after the draft.

What about 2023

[Solid84]

Guessing Sparano is pretty happy at this point!

Definitely with Covid and bonus year going to be plenty of good players who go undrafted.

Good pick to fortify the IOL but McCormick would have been my pick. 9.96 Ras and is nasty

I see them in a similar light. There’s not a huge difference in their skill set IMO,

Team still had issues but Bortolini only had 1 penalty on a stunt play this season from what I can find.

I really liked McCormick too and probably would have preferred him, but I like Bortolini about as much, so I'm fine with the pick.

That's  improvement and I'm good with that

Covid shortened season for a lot of these kids.  Kind of scews some of these stats but welcome to the Colts got to keep the faith in the draft process.

Man if I only had 1 mistake at work I would be a first round pick 

[Patrick Miller]

Would anybody be surprised if we grabbed a running back with the next pick?

[Solid84]

Nooo, 9'ers took Mustapha..

[RollerColt]

It’s a TE party in the 4th round, 4 taken so far!

[TigerColt]

I’m happy with the pick. Was a sneaky need. 
I’m a big fan of the safety from wake forest. Old school tone setter

I could definitely see us use one of the 3 5th rounders on one.

[RollerColt]

Bears taking the Iowa punter in round 4. That’s interesting.

No. We need one

[TigerColt]

I like the Rb Davis from South Dakota state

[Solid84]

Wow, Manu in the 4th. I honestly thought he'd be like a 6th or 7th rounder

Yeah... reportedly we had interest in him too. I think we brought him to top 30 visit too.

The only thing I’d change about @Dr. T contest is give the full credit for a round, whether Ballard moves up or down in a specific round, like from No.46 to No.52. This results in both you and @BlueStallion not getting the full points and only alternate round points. 
 

To me, it adds to the strategy of choosing someone early Round 2 or later Round 2 thrown into the choices based on whether Ballard moves up or down. If it’s technically a round up or below, I understand not getting full points.

Agreed. Couple of years back, I conducted Dr. T's contest concept in Vikings forum and had changed one thing as you said. People loved it.. 

[Defjamz26]

 

[stitches]

A run on RBs is happening... hope one is left for us in the 5th...

A year of S&C will be good for him to bulk up a bit.

[rock8591]

Need a playmaker at RB and LB.
