Some notables remaining; :cool:

WR Hakeem Butler
S Chauncey Gardner-Johnson
CB Julian Love
EDGE Charles Omenihu
CB Amani Oruwariye
WR Emanuel Hall
S Amani Hooker
S Deionte Thompson
WR Kelvin Harmon
EDGE Anthony Nelson
EDGE Christian Miller
RB Justice Hill
DL Renell Wren

I like what Colts are doing defensively so far. I still have questions/concerns of course -- I don't see a consistent pass rush yet and I think another safety is mandatory -- but I love the concerted effort to get more multiple for Eberflus. On paper, this is a team that is better suited to cover the MOF, and can probably generate more pressure schematically with its LB corps than it did last year.

My biggest remaining questions:

1. Edge rush. I think they'll crush the pocket well, but so far, this draft is still asking me to place a lot of faith in Turay.

2. Safety depth. I have no issues with Geathers/Hooker as starting tandem, but you need to run with 3 good, consistent safeties in today's NFL -- or at least have a consistent dime option of some position -- and I don't trust Geathers to be healthy enough or Farley/Odum to be good enough to give me that magic number of 3.

3. X receiver. Nothing we didn't know, but so far, still a lot riding on Funchess being an answer. Good news on offense is that Colts have ample options over the middle, and a healthy Hilton (knock on wood!) will always stretch the field on one side. But I would like to see someone who can potentially unseat Funchess, at least at some point this year. No, I don't think it's wise to bet on that player being Deon Cain.

4. Are they really deep enough at OL? I think they almost have to draft Day 2 OL given future question marks, but more to the point, there is very little OT depth on this team.

5. Who is the returner? Chester Rogers did an admirable job last year, but I really don't want it to be him.

Strongly agree on 1, 2, and 4. WR is fine right now and they’ll probably add another guy to compete tomorrow.

5 is taken care of. Parris Campbell is the return man.

Who is playing DT on this team? Are they running Margus Hunt out there every down?

I’m sure they’ll add a guy tomorrow, but I wonder if they’re counting on Ward to some degree. They could also dip into free agency post draft and add some rotational pieces.

I have a feeling we’ll see them take a QB in the 4th or 5th round tomorrow. Stidham, Jackson, and Finley are interesting options to back up Luck starting in 2020.

A few more names to watch out for:

TE Foster Moreau
S Jaquan Johnson
WR Preston Williams

QBs:
Jarrett Stidham, Auburn
Tyree Jackson, Buffalo
Clayton Thorson, Northwestern
Ryan Finley, NC State
Gardner Minshew, Washington State
Brett Rypien, Boise State

They did resign him. And he's tall enough that even if he doesn't get to the QB, he makes him move to throw around him.

Still a lot of intriguing EDGE options left: Christian Miller, D'Andre Walker, Jalen Jelks, Carl Granderson, Maxx Crosby etc.

I agree about adding safety depth, but there are some intriguing guys there as well: Amani Hooker, Chauncey Gardner Johnson, Deionte Thompson, Chase Hansen.

X-Receiver, yeah I would like to see a guy that could stretch the field there as well.

Agree about the OL depth as well, especially at center or multidimensional Joe Haeg type guy.

I think the returner might be Paris Campbell. Chester Rogers roster spot is definitely in jeopardy.

My biggest concern is that we didn't draft a DT, and it's barren wasteland for DT's the rest of the draft. I don't like Renell Wren as an option either. I don't like guys that fail to produce until their senior season. It's not like he was playing at Bama.

I gotta believe that Nate Hairston needs to step it up to keep his roster spot. At the very least, I hope I never have to see Chris Milton trotted out onto the field on defense.

You think they carry three on roster? :cool:

Just seeing the name Chauncey Gardner makes me chuckle every time. Parents must have been huge Peter Sellers fans. I bet their other kid is named Dr. Strangelove.

Nope...they will try stash one away on the PS.

Wr and safety appear to still have some good talent available

Well, Suh is still available in free agency...

Colts remaining picks.

Rd 4, 129
Rd 4, 135
Rd 5, 144
Rd 5, 164
Rd 6, 199
Rd 7, 240

Followed by UDFA’s.

I’d take him but Ballard seems to be about character matching this team so I doubt we’ll sign him but DT has to be addressed or we better jump out to a lead every game

Damn I hoped Hakeem Butler would somehow become a Colt, really liked him. :cool:

Bengals select QB Ryan Finley, this kids decent. Perhaps Dalton will not be a Bengal QB of future. :cool:

Saints Cornerback Marshon Lattimore Called Kyle Murray a midget lol

Saints traded pick 116 and 168 to #Jets for pick 105.

They're picking Safety Chauncey Gardner-Johnson. :cool:

Colts trade up :cool:

As I’ve said before, I liked Gardner-Johnson a lot but the Colts had plenty of chances at him and didn’t take it.

Wonder if we’re taking Hooker at Safety here though...

Must be someone they really want steep price

Oakland trades: Pick 109.

Colts trade: 129, 135.

With Pick No. 109, the #Colts take S-Khari Willis (Michigan State).

Ouch.

Head scratcher to me :cool:

Nope, Khari Willis, a Safety nonetheless, however.

NFL network is so far fucking behind.

Not that big of a sacrific

His athletic profile is really uninspiring.

Not everyone needs to be Malik Hooker, but the Colts already have Matthias Farley, you know?

My first WTF of the draft :eek:

Definitely going after team needs. Don't know much about him, but the Colts must love the kid.

The trade follows the trade value chart. Ballard could have asked for the Raider's 7th rounder to be included but otherwise it was spot on.

Espn or abc?

Another senior bowl standout. All the TE’s at the senior bowl said he was the toughest DB they played against. Gave them the most problems.

Yeah, my bad it was ESPN.

Team captain
Best games were big games
Sure tackler

From Mel

They are raving about the Colts draft on NFL radio. Said they worked out every safety in the draft.

Yes just hate trading up I guess :cool:

Yea team leader gave epic senior speech, whatever that’s worth

Insurance behind geathers don’t know if he’s better than Farley or odum
