I really doubt he'll be there, but yes.

The rub is...identifying the OK pass rushers, from the blue chip pass rushers.

For instance, don't draft the next Jerry Hughes, that takes 4 yrs. to develop. BTW, that's what I think Tim Williams will be...the next Jerry Hughes.

Trade back into the 1st round or up within the 2nd round (three 4th round picks should provide fairly decent ammo) if you have a strong preference on which pass rusher you want behind him, fine. But Foster cannot be passed on, IMO.

That said, I do like several other ILB's. Hassan Reddick, Zach Cunningham, Reuben Foster, and Jarrad Davis. Damn, it'd be nice if we could somehow come away with any one of those, along with whichever pass rusher (Barnett, Williams, etc).

I don't think so. He's a 229 lb MLB that plays reckless with his body, and is often injured because of it. Plus the fact, that he seems like an idiot.

I do think (that I think) that Reddick will be an ILB in the NFL. He reminds me a lot Ryan Shazier, but with more possible upside.

To me Cunningham is strictly a 4-3 MIKE or WILL.

I gotta watch more of Davis, but as of now I would take Raekwon McMillan over him.

Since Colts need LB, S and RB from the draft, I actually wonder if there's any temptation to take Jabrill Peppers in Round 1, and figure out how much you play him & where based on how the rest of the draft goes.

Nope. None at all.

Fucking coin flip.

Cool. I agree. My point was more that the Colts cannot come away from the first 4 rounds of this draft without a pass rusher. Reuben Foster and T.J. Watt would be a great start to an LB corps. So would Derek Barnett and Zach Cunningham. So would Haason Reddick and Raekwon McMillan.

My best guess, is that we will end up with some combination of those mentioned above.
