Warhorse Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 So the one position that gets picked sometimes higher than they are likely ranked at, is the QB position. I studied as many mock drafts as I thought were legit to a degree, and here is what I found. This is the number of QB's taken before our selection at #26... PFF - 2 Draftsite - 4 TSN - 4 SBN - 3 NBC - 4 Draftwire - 3 Draftek - 3 Walters - 3 CBS - 3 NFL - 4 SI - 4 So the consensus is that at least 3 will be taken, and D Jones is the last one that might slip in before our pick. What my question is....what are the 13 picks (not counting qb's) you truly feel will be gone before our pick ? I would like to add those 13 to the at least 3 QB's taken, and know that we would one of the 10 that remained. Just for fun...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyld Stallyns Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I have been thinking along these lines as well. But more to the point of how many players can get drafted in top 20-25 so a above avg defensive line talent falls to us. I figure if: 3 QBs, 1 HB, 2 WRs, 2 TEs, and 3 OL get drafted that is already 11 offensive players drafted. Plus, I doubt now that we draft an EDGE round 1 so if Bosa, Burns, Gary and Sweat all get drafted that is 15. But to answer your question Nick Bosa, Kyler Murray, and Quinnen Williams all are locks to go Top 5 Josh Allen, Jawaan Taylor, Jonah Williams, Devin White, Rashan Gary, Ed Oliver and Dwayne Haskins are most likely Top 15 TJ Hockenson and Noah Fant probably will be gone before we pick. And Brian Burns to make 13 i also think DK Metcalf and potentially one more receiver will be gone as well as OT Andre Dillard and Drew Lock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyld Stallyns Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Listening to Stephen Holder’s podcast Horseshoes with Holder (Stampede Blue) he was talking about a discussion he had with Chris Ballard at the owner’s meeting. He touched on 2 interesting topics from the discussion. Talent in this draft and whether or not the Colts might consider carrying 3 QBs on the 53 man roster. Ballard told Holder that ALL these mock drafts are going to be wrong when it’s all said and done. In Ballard’s mind there are only 14 elite talent players in this draft. The next group of players could be drafted mid 1 to early 3rd. Which means the Colts won’t trade up unless a player Ballard sees as elite falls. Ballard didn’t have to trade up to get Hooker in 2017, but that is a prime example of a player that fell where Ballard might have traded up from 26 to get. Holder asked about whether the Colts would consider carrying 3 QBs on the roster and Ballard said the only way that happens is if they don’t think they can sneak the QB onto the practice squad. Holder suggested that if the Colts drafted a QB to replace Jacoby Brissett after he leaves in free agent next year that they might carry that QB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holder suggested that if the Colts drafted a QB to replace Jacoby Brissett after he leaves in free agent next year that they might carry that QB. I have always felt that GM's use tiers. Top tier (Ballard indicates 14 this year), and I think the second tier is much larger. It cracks me up to see fans argue about a player going 26 rather than 34, as if it was a bad value. So many factors go into the long term success of a player. Slot is about how they get paid, but it's all development after that. I would guess that the biggest difference between top tier and second, is fit. Every player drafted in the first three rounds are nearly all outstanding athletes. But the ones that can play in any system, indoor or out, are those top 14. I think the second tier....you have to make sure the fit is right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldfishwars Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Hi guys We're voting on the Colts pick at 26 in the draft section. It would be great to have your thoughts and votes. Thanks GFW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyld Stallyns Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Did this mock on The Draft Network mock draft 1-26 DT Christian Wilkins 2-34 WR N’Keal Harry 2-59 CB Julian Love 3-89 TE Dawson Knox 4-129 WR DeMarkus Lodge 4-135 S Zedrick Woods 5-164 EDGE Jalen Jelks 6-199 LB Ben Burr-Kirven 7-240 EDGE Austin Bryant I really wanted to go OL but never found an OL I liked. If I was doing a 3 rounder not using TDN I probably would go Wilkins/Tillery/Simmons in round 1, Harry or A.J. Brown in round 2a and probably Love or S Darnell Savage round 2b Some of the Josh Jacobs stuff coming out makes me think it’s possible we might take him at #34 if not a WR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyld Stallyns Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I’m going to go see Avengers:End Game tonight. I agreed to go before I realized it was draft night and tickets were purchased. I do have off work tomorrow so I set up the DVR to tape the draft. I also shut off all notifications on my phone so I don’t get any accidental spoilers. I’ll be watching the draft tomorrow morning to get caught up for tomorrow evenings rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyld Stallyns Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Colts traded pick #26 to the Redskins for R2 P42 and a 2020 2nd rounder Colt’s 2nd rders tomorrow: #34, #42 and #59 2018 - 4-2nd rders 2019 - 3-2nd rders (for now) 2020 - 2-2nd rders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to see who we pick! I say OT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyld Stallyns Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 For some reason I posted that the round 2 pick from Washington was #42, it’s actually #46. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will it be a WR? What is your guys read on what ballard will do if he doesnt trade down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyld Stallyns Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 We could end up taking a WR, I would personally want AJ Brown or either CB Byron Murphy or Rock Ya-Sin (Greedy Williams is more man coverage and we play more zone). Ballard, Reich and Eberflus have a rotation that they want on the DL where they have “8 starters” so DL is a possibility. Ballard also hasn’t ruled out OL as well, “you don’t stop looking at OL because you have 5 good starters”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
