Top 10 pick preferences
 

Eh, didn't think this should be lost in the HC thread. And bye week.

So you guys are watching CFB this season. Colts probably finish with a pick somewhere in the top 10. What are your top preferences?

Mine...


1. Texas LT Connor Williams

Woulda been my #1 or #2 to start the year, but got hurt. He's back today and freaking dominating. Not just dominating, but playing nasty.

Williams to LT lets you move Castonzo to RT and Haeg to RT. Three birds with one stone.


2. TBD pass-rusher

I honestly haven't watched Key or Chubb, but I imagine one of these guys + a late riser are the names in the mix. Anyone watch either of these guys closely?


3. Trade down

If you can't get Williams and can't get a top pass-rusher, trade down and try to grab an impact guard and athletic ILB with your top 2 picks.

I've heard good things about Landry, Key, and Chubb as pass rushers.

Pass rusher preferably

You got a favorite? I'm not a huge CFB guy so I haven't seen too many of these kids. I've just randomly seen a few Texas games this year and last so was making that call on Williams.

There's a safety from LSU, Derwin James who is supposed to be crazy good. He's an in the box, middle of the field guy. He would be a perfect match with Hooker.

What little I’ve seen of Williams has been very good.

I like Chubb a bit more, but I’m not a huge fan of either. If he stays healthy the rest of the year, I think Williams will place himself well above those two.

Edit: I’m not a huge fan of either Key or Chubb being a top 10 pick. I’d be fine with them later in Rd 1.

No I don't.

I have barely watched any college football

Most men do like their Chubb

Despite this year being a royal bitch, I dont think anyone can argue that the future of this team is Andrew Luck. We should have the best OL in football and we aren't even close yet.

There is supposedly a guard out of Notre Dame this year on the same level as Zach Martin. And their LT is a good player worth a day 1/day 2 pick.

I like the idea of a high end LT and having the domino effect improve three spots total. Though I'm also fine pushing Haeg into the Reitz role. We do need talent but we also need a cohesive scheme.

I haven't been playing attention to CFB this year so I'll just be reading draft blogs like everyone else in the world.

Quenton Nelson. Good writeup on the guy here.

Quenton Nelson is the LG- he is a monstrous man who plays with nasty nasty nasty disposition. Not uncommon at all for the play to end with his man down the field 10 yards beyond the ball and on his back. I don't think he's as mobile as Martin but to me he's more physical.

McGlinchy- dynamite LT but to me he's not the type of guy that you put there and expect the entire line to be re-arranged due to him. He's a dominating run blocking LT but not to me the prototypical pass protection LT.

To me the most enticing player on that team is Soph S / CB Julian Love. That kid goes to the ball better than anyone I have watched at that level and when he gets there a lot of really bad things happen. Already hoping he somehow ends up in our backfield some day.

He’s in Matt Miller’s top 5 as of today. But if Williams stays healthy the rest of the year, he’ll go before Nelson.

I would be fine with the best OL, obviously a guard or tackle, not center, or linebacker available.

I don't follow college football closely enough to know who that might be.

I want an all Oline draft. Or addressed in FA. but the only one safe on that Oline is Kelly and AC

If addressed in FA they need pass rush ILB and RB in that order

Hopefully some of the D addressed in FA and there are some RB that would be available FA also
