05) Samuel Cosmi
06) Penei Sewell
07) Dillon Radunz
08) Jalen Mayfield
09) Walker Little
10) Brady Christensen
11) Alex Leatherwood
12) Stone Forsythe
13) Spencer Brown
14) James Hudson

This is just the players I watched personally, and I'll happily give a justification for each ranking if asked. Answering one ahead of time, I know I previously ranked Sewell much lower, the increase in rank says nothing about his tape and everything about his age, build, and potential. To be clear, based on the Colts needing a Day 1 starter, I would not draft Sewell for them were he available, and if Cincinnati drafts him at 5, they won't be doing Joe Burrow any favors in the first year. Perhaps down the line, but I don't think Sewell is a game 1 starter based on his film. I took Vera-Tucker out because IMO he's a guard. His kickstep is too labored and forced to stick at LT, and he can't handle speed.

From your list I'd go this is the order This is how I think they come off the board

1. Penei Sewell
2. Rashawn Slater
3. Christian Darrisaw
4 Walker Little
5. Dillon Radunz
6. Tevin Jenkins
7. Liam Eichenberg
8. Spencer Brown
9. Samuel Cosmi

Walker Little has too many question marks to go that high, I don't care how prototypical his build is. Also Jenkins going that low would likely mean Round 2 and I don't see that happening, nor Radunz coming off the board before him. Your list does show how potential pushes players up draft boards, though.

I think Jenkin is taken by Raiders as a guard

Little is very intriguing. Probably the most talented

Cosmi doesn't have as much ceiling as the others although he is pretty decent now.

I think the value of the OT's is in the 2nd round. Most are 1st round reaches.

JMO. I'm sure I could be wrong

If Colts trade back and get any of those nine (plus at least a pick in the third, if not more), then I'll be a happy fan.

I know Rondale Moore is a talent, but I am not sure I want him in the 'shoe. His decision to opt out and his injury history are two huge red flags for me.

Colts get: 34, 66

Dropping down 13 picks in this scenario would give the Colts 34, 54, 66, 98, and 105, or likely 2 of the top 50, 3 of the top 75, and 5 of the top 100 players in this draft. I think if you don't get Jenkins or Phillips, this is probably the best play.

If Indy could turn the 21st pick into five out of the top 100 by trading back only 13 picks total? Total Ballard move too.
