I'm curious what you guys think about DeJean. Mitchell just jumps out like a perfect fit for us and I'd be super excited with him. He's like classic top-shelf CB.

But I've also been watching/reading more of DeJean lately... I was under the impression he was an iffy prospect because I had read people suggesting he move to safety.

No way. Looks like they played off a lot at Iowa (like Bradley will call), and he looks to have some tremendous instinct/savvy. He has really good ball skills and is a really good return man (new kickoff rules). He also looks like the best tackling DB.

Athletically, he's a stud. He doesn't have the top-end speed of Mitchell (4.33), but coming off a broken leg he posted a 4.43. And every other test was virtually equal, if not better, than Mitchell's.

I'm not saying I'd necessarily take him over Mitchell, but he's extremely intriguing to me.

I saw somebody say that picking Cooper DeJean would be like getting socks for a holiday, you know it will be practical and useful, but you were hoping for more.

And that kind of sums up how I'd feel about drafting Cooper DeJean.

I would like 1 of Verse, Turner or Latu. If they draft one of them, I won't give a Rats ass what else they do. It's about time Ballard drafts a pass rusher instead of making feeble attempts to sign one in free agency !!!! JMHO

He never was, or never will be, an elite pass rusher.

That's why the Quinyon Mitchell/R2 WR (My personal choice is Ricky Pearsall) combo is, in my opinion, the best option unless they're going to trade up for someone like Rome Odunze if he falls to 8 or 9 overall. The drop from BTJ to Pearsall is not that much in my opinion, whereas the drop from Mitchell to Tampa or Melton is a cliff.

I could stomach this as well.

I like the idea of Pearsall. Familiarity with Richardson, diverse skill set, he looks the part, and he can serve as competition to Pierce (and even Downs to some extent) to continue to push development.

I like a lot about Mitchell. He sounds like a Ballard guy as well, measurable wise. IIRC he looked pretty good blitzing out of the nickel as well.

Problem is we don’t know if anyone from this draft will be either

Truly elite guys tend to go top 5

Ask me about 6 years from now, and I'll tell you who I would have wanted the Colts to have drafted with their #15 pick.

And Dayo who I think is pretty disruptive. Remember these guys go on a rotation. It’s not like Freeney out there for 60 snaps. Still never hurts to have another pass rusher.

I guess other teams are saying the Colts are looking to trade up. For shits, assume that's the case...

Who would it be for? Worried Mitchell won't be there? Actually trying to get a top WR? Dallas Turner too much of a freak to pass?

Watch them go OL and kill thousands of fans.

I could also see a smaller trade up (to say 11 or 12, which would cost 15 and 82 according to TVC) for Bowers.
