Colts showing some interest Kansas State Safety Eli Walker. They had dinner with him the other day and intend on bringing him in for a Top 30 visit. Former top JUCO safety in the country.

Can anyone even find anything on this guy?

He wasn't at the Combine and I googled him and couldn't find any actual scouting reports on him.

If this is what they're looking at for a UDFA then whatever, but this CAN'T be their solution.

There are 7 rounds of a draft and free agency afterward. No need to overreact, it's not like Ballard is announcing they're targeting him on Day 1 or Day 2.

Apparently Colts are meeting with Jeffery Simmons:

@TomPelissero
Jeffery Simmons told me he dined with #Eagles last night. Also meeting with #Jaguars, #Browns, #Colts, others here around Mississippi State pro day. Leaves April 1 for about 11 visits. Teams playing catch-up after Simmons missed combine for ACL surgery. More later on @nflnetwork

To that point, looks like Colts are eyeing another Safety:

@TomPelissero
#Colts DBs/safeties coach Alan Williams here to run drills for Johnathan Abram, among others. Abrams had dinner with Indy last night. Another potential first-round pick on display here at Mississippi State. Lot of talent.


Much as I hate #FailState, if the Colts end up with Simmons/Abrams as their top two picks then I will anoint Ballard as killing it on yet another draft.

Suh will not be returning to the rams. Should the Colts be interested?

Should they? YES
Will they? Probably not.

This. Signing Suh and then drafting Simmons and everyone calls Ballard a genius for doing so.

The best strong safety prospect and the second best DT. I could live with that. Abrams would be the best hitter they have drafted since Sanders. I can’t fully say that either would make it to 34 though. Simmons could potentially come back in November. I don’t know if you want to do that though. Conditioning and getting used to things, people that tear a knee are prone to tearing the other knee. And for a DT that is a lot of weight on there.

Still I could live with that draft, but we draft Abrams, I doubt we resign Geathers.

What do you mean? They already re-signed Geathers. Are you saying that because of that, they probably won't draft Abrams?

I don't think Geathers being signed means anything. The Colts could still sign or draft their starting SS and Geathers would just then become the 3rd safety. He'd still play significant minutes and snaps in packages with 5+ DBs, and not having to play every down would help with his health.

Robert Mathis didn't attend the combine either.
