2017 Draft Thread

Would have been nice to start the off season with a win, even if it was just a coin flip.

I'm hoping Foster falls to us after the surgery and the confrontation that got him sent home

I'm not so sure I want him now. The combine incident, the injury history and where i saw where one scout says he's not a MIKE LB, that he's a 4-3 WILL scares me.

Florida State RB Dalvin Cook tested as ninth-percentile SPARQ athlete at the NFL Combine.
Tennessee RB Alvin Kamara had the highest SPARQ score of any back in Indy, hitting the 79th percentile. Cook was at the opposite end of the spectrum, struggling in the three-cone drill (7.27), 20-yard shuttle (4.53), vertical (30.5"), and broad jump (9'8"). He did run a solid forty (4.49). Still, it was a concerning weekend for a back considered a potential first-round pick. According to 3 Sigma Athlete's Zach Whitman, no running back who tested as a sub-10th-percentile SPARQ athlete has been drafted in the first round in the last 17 years.

I...would take Dalvin Cook in the 2nd round. Flame away.

I really don't get your infatuation with Cook? There are possibly10 RB's in the draft who could have better NFL careers and still be drafted later than Cook.

With all the needs on defense the Colts cannot draft a RB earlier than the 3rd round. They just can't.

Sure anybody COULD do better, but I watched a lot of him at FSU (I hate Florida State, so I watched plenty rooting against them) and I think he has what it takes to be truly remarkable.

The bottom line is, I think he's absolutely nasty and he'd absolutely take our offense to the next level.

That said, I'm of course as aware as anyone of our defensive needs. I'm also hoping that Reuben Foster's little meltdown where he had to leave the Combine drops him to us at #15.

With the 15th pick ... Bobby Boucher Linebacker
