2017 Draft Thread
All draft related sh*t goes here.
With that said, I hoping Derek Barnett or Rueben Foster falls to us at 14. Solomon Thomas anyone? |

Corner back will be a better value for us in the 1st, Unless one of the good OLB's fall... Or maybe Foster with the recent surgery

I'm okay with Dalvin. It's obvious that Indy will need a rb at some point. Soon. Would you rather spend money on a gamble (Lacy/Latavius)? If Foster is available and Indy takes Cook, I'd be a little annoyed/surprised. But if Foster is gone, Cook is a better long term prospect than the pass rush specialists available. Pass rushers can be found in free agency, top franchise rbs are much harder to come by. Cook in the 1st and Tim Williams in the 2nd would be fine with me.
It all depends on FA too. I would be okay with Ballard flipping a 4th or 5th for Kendricks, signing Ingram, Hightower, and Berry. Also, I would be okay with Ballard spending a 3rd on Mixon if Foster is somehow available in the 1st. And Hasson Reddick in the 2nd. |

Some NFL teams have nearly twice the amount of cap space to invest in free agents as the Colts do. If Ingram hits the open market, you can expect that someone will end up throwing $15m - $20m in annualized cap space his direction because, well, they can. I think the possibility of signing someone better than, say Walden or Okfor in free agency at OLB is mighty slim. We NEED to draft pass rushers, Period. Dot. The. End. And you get the best possibility of them being impact ones at the top of the first round. Cheers,

Ezekiel Elliot made everyone lose their minds this year. Yeah, he was great. I think he probably made Dak Prescott look better than he actually was, they should've split that award. But Jordan Howard was 2nd in rushing, a 5th round rookie. Murray is a former 3rd rounder. Ajayi and Bell were 5th and 2nd rounders respectively. Remember 2015's "franchise RB" that everyone lost their minds over? His name is Todd Gurley and he ran for less than 900 yards with a 3.2 YPC average in 2016. Well behind our own Frank Gore. Doesn't seem like much of an investment right now. Have you seen our defense? We have zero linebackers that make a difference. Zero. Walden is an aging complimentary piece and the rest are just guys. We weren't just not sacking the QB, we weren't pressuring him. We weren't covering TEs or RBs. We weren't even attacking gaps and stopping the run. The middle third of our defense is DESTITUTE. This idea that pass rushers, the leagues' second-most-rare commodity, are somehow easier to find than RBs is bonkers. You literally have two 5th rounders in the top 5 last season. Our offense would be marginally improved with even the best RB in the NFL added to the roster. No RB is going to be the focal point of this offense, we have Andrew Luck. But drafting a defensive playmaker could completely revolutionize our defense. Drafting a RB in the first would be a bad decision for this team. |
