Anyone but Terrion Arnold
I know he’s a popular choice for mock drafters, but I’m not seeing it. As far as I’m concerned, his 4.51 40 time is a big problem. He might be fine in a zone scheme where his lack of deep speed can be covered up; but if we ever make a coaching change and bring in someone who plays more man, he’ll be little more than a speed bump to elite opposing Receivers.

I’m tired of watching Cornerbacks whose skill set mostly revolves around giving a ten yard cushion. I’m tired of letting opponents complete 80 percent of their completions. I’m tired of making rookie journeyman Quarterbacks look like the second coming of Joe Montana. I’m tired of ancient, mediocre, vanilla zone defenses that opponents have had a quarter century to solve. |

The problem is that he’s not big enough or strong enough to jam Receivers at the line. He might well excel at covering crossing patterns and underneath routes; but, he just doesn’t have the top end speed to cover elite receivers on deep patterns. Right now, sure, the Colts employ a zone scheme. But, if Gus Bradley’s D lays another egg in 2024, he’s probably gone.

I wouldn't hate an Arnold pick. but, I would damn well hate a trade back for a Kool-Aid pick.

I would be shocked if both Mitchell and DeJean weren't higher on Ballard's draft board than Arnold. Both are bigger, faster, and have a higher RAS score than Arnold.
