Who would you draft?

Grant Delpit plays Safety. Delpit has all the tools, but is a poor tackler IMO. I would be ok with re-signing Geathers to go along with Hooker and Willis then find a CB in 3rd round.

If Shenault is there at #34 I grab him and then QB Jalen Hurts with our next pick. Let Hurts sit behind Rivers a year or two and step in.

The knock on him is he doesn’t generate a lot of separation and he gets a lot of contested balls thrown his way. He is currently training with Houshmanzadah, like a number of WRs and Joe Burrow. Word is he looks great there and Housh called him a taller AJ Green. Is that just hype, or is he undervalued in a deep class?

Here in Tiger country he has many fans for obvious reasons including productivity, physicality, and speed. Two traits that those who follow him closely that might appeal to Reich is 1. the kid is supposedly high character and 2. he stays invested in every play as an excellent downfield blocker.

I'd like to see Indy take Jalen Hurts. Lots of upside potential and he could learn from Rivers and Brissett.

The only way I'd want the Colts to take Hurts is if they planned to create a Taysom Hill role for him. He doesn't have the accuracy to be a long term starting QB.

They said the same about Lamar Jackson.

The question is when we would have to take him.

If it is with #34 or #44, then I don't know that I am interested. Lots of good WR, TE or CB choices at those spots who have the ability to start immediately.

However, if we can get him with our 3rd round choice, then I am all for it.

I am hoping for OT and NT choices in the 4th/5th rounds. We need O-Line depth and a NT to rotate with Stewart.

But a developmental QB in the 3rd? Yeah, I could be good with that.

I wonder how many "developmental QBs" actually develop.

I think Morgan of FIU will develop nicely. I hope we get him.

A name to keep in mind draft day is James Morgan of Florida Int. Supposedly several teams are interested including us. We have been vetting him. So likely a later round pick spent on a QB.

My worry is we will end up like the Vikings the last couple years. Squad good enough to win the super bowl, can’t find a QB to lead them there.
