Wow, one of the best mock drafts I have seen that actually intelligently discusses team needs (located here (http://inkonindy.com/2017/02/19/indianapolis-colts-seven-round-pre-combine-mock-draft/2/)).
Summary:
Rd 1 = OLB Derek Barnett, Tennessee
....(Alternate Picks = 5-tech Taco Charlton or OLB Takkarist McKinley)
Rd 2 = CB Jourdan Lewis, Michigan
....(Alternate Picks = CB Condrea Tankersley, Desmond King or Tre'Davious White)
Rd 3 = ILB Anthony Walker, Northwestern
....(Alternate Picks = ILB Kendell Beckwith or Raekwon McMillian)
Rd 4 = RB Kareem Hunt, Toledo
....(Alternate Picks = Wayne Gallman, Jeremy McNichols or James Conner)
Rd 4 = SS Lorenzo Jerome, St Francis
....(Alternate Picks = Rayshawn Jenkins or Josh Jones)
Rd 5 = FS John Johnson, Boston College
....(Alternate Picks = Jadar Johnson
Rd 6 = WR Travin Dural, LSU
....(Alternate Picks = Fred Ross, Shelton Green or KD Cannon)
About my only gripe with the mock is that I think we probably need to spend our 6th round pick on whichever best available punter is in the draft. I don't love the free agent punter class this season and while one might be okay, we need to replace McAfee.
Anyway, that draft would not suck for the Colts. A bit light on the LB picks perhaps but focus on the areas we need to focus on.
Cheers,
