1.32: Who Should The Indianapolis Colts Take? (1 Viewer)

[Sigmund Bloom]

a DB, a WR, a DT, an LB

a DB, a WR, a DT, an LB

If Ted Ginn Jr, Dwayne Bowe, or Robert Meachem doesn't fall to them, I hope Justin Harrell does. They absolutely DO NOT need to take a DB in the 1st rd. The Colts scheme doesn't require the Colts to spend a top pick on a DB (The Colts brass don't value DBs like other teams do), and the depth they lost can be made up in the later rounds. The Colts already have 2 players (Jackson and Hayden) that will fill in nicely for Harper and David, so it's depth they need, and they don't need to get it in the 1st rd.Edit: As far as your choice, Steve Smith, I'd be alright with that pick. Also, A Gonzalez for the slot would be nice, but I don't think I'd want him that high.

 

[djcolts]

Harrell or Smith would be fine with me. I don't know enough about Harris - but if the Colts take him at #32 then I'd feel OK with that. I really don't want to see the Colts take CBs until their 7 mid-round picks.

I said this week I expected Anthoney Gonzalez to be the pick at #32, but that was before I saw the Dayton Daily News report that the Colts want Justin Durant badly and would likely pick him at #32 because they think the Bears or Bengals would take him in round 2.

The most likely thing is that the Colts will pick someone out of left field, and their draft grades by the national pundits will average out to a "C-", and the actual draft a few years later will be re-graded a "B".

Thus is the genius of Bill Polian. I used to get so mad at him for drafting shrimp DBs, but I must say that some of those picks, along with others have proven to be better later than on draft day.(Edge over RW, Clark in the 1st rd, Wayne late 1st rd, Addai, Sanders early 2nd, Jackson last year, and I'm sure I've missed a few, have been down right astonishing).

 

[theedge]

I agree Bloom. WR in the first. Unless Jarret falls, I like Smith then Gonzalez. They can get a decent DT in the 3rd,,,,,, Ryan McBean? Polian has had success finding servicable Cover 2 corners in the mid to late rounds. They will be fne with Jackson and Hayden as starters. The same is true with their LBs. Brackett, Morris and Keiaho. With no pressing needs that can be filled by an elite player I can see the Colts going with 2 WRs, 2 or 3 CB/S, 2 DTs, LB, OL.. If Corey Simon returns I believe they will only take 1 DT and could take another OL or RB.

 

[The Vision]

I'm not sure what they intend to do about the Simon issue although they can't be pleased with the way that it went down.

As for the 32nd pick I did think they would go LB but WR is obviously a glaring need as well so I would be happy either way.

WR at #32 makes perfect sense because of the value that will be there at #32 in a deep WR draft and the need. Of course if DT Harrell is there all bets are off. I doubt if a LB graded that high will on the board, so for me, it's either WR or DT at #32. God forbid they take a DB or TE. Yes, they need a couple of DBs for depth (take later), but that's it, and you don't take one at 32. I also hope they don't select Greg Olsen. Knowing Polian, he might just do that, and who am I to argue since his picks have mostly been right on the last few years.

- no "for sure" with any position with Polian picking. See Wayne, Reggie and Clark, Dallas

 

[djcolts]

According to Coltpower.com - Aaron Moorehead has re-signed with the Colts. It might (slightly) lessen the WR need.

 

[chook]

I was mulling over this pick while trying to get to sleep last night. I kept thinking how much of a perfect match Steve Smith would be to this offense, then come on here and read that Bloom agrees.

If the Colts do take him, I may even consider reaching for him with the 1.07 pick. It just seems like a match made in heaven and once Marvin moves on, Smith & Wayne will continue to give the Colts one of the best 1-2 WR combos in the league.

 

[Colin Dowling]

I would be shocked if Harrell is available. Jarrett, however, should be.

 

[Guzalot]

The short answer is: The best available player.

Frankly, I think the Colts will trade out of the first round if at all possible.

My post from the other thread."I am hopeful of getting a DT, but I also don't see the 1 gap 1st rounder there @1.32

I will give a list of 6 I think we end up with one of:

Ted Ginn Jr.

Anthony Gonzalez

Jarrett

Beason

Harrell

Tyler

We'll see.

I would love to have Lynch if he fell to us, but I don't see it happening. Also, Olsen would be sweet, again, I don't see him getting to us either."

We all know TE and RB aren't positions of need for the Colts. However, if Lynch or Olsen fell to us there, we'd have to consider it! I'm hopeful of moving down from the 1.32 but I doubt anyone is willing to give up much to move into the late 1st.

With Polian's ability in the middle rounds, I'd take a 2nd and 5th for 1.32. Someone may jump if a player like Harrell or Branch were to fall to 1.32. Ofcourse, I'd rather see the Colts pick one of those 2 guys there.

I now see one of the following as the Colts 1.32 pick if they don't make a trade:

Harrell

Anthony Gonzalez

Bowe

Robert Meachum

or in the unlikely event any of these fall, I think the colts take them without hesitation in my order of preference:

Poszlusny

Ginn Jr.

Branch

We'll see.

Be prepared for the possiblity of Justin Durant being the pick at #32. I know I'm giving a lot of credence to the Dayton Daily News, but this was the only article I've seen anywhere that had any claim of insider knowledge of what the Colts are actually thinking of doing - and it reminds me of the article I read a couple of days before the 1999 draft that the Cotls wanted Edgerrin James.I won't be around to eat any crow until Sunday night.

Why @1.32? I barely have him in the top 100! I think they could get him in the 3rd. That would be one hell of a reach! I know BP is a master of this stuff, but there are better players to be had.

They explained that they that the Bengals and Bears also have strong interest in Durant (I assume the article meant 2nd round interest). I'm not saying they should do this at all. I'm just saying watch out for this possibility.

It could just as easily be a "leak" by the Colts about a player they know two other teams would really like to get with their 2nd round pick. A pick the Colts currently don't have...I'm just saying...

Ding! Gonzalez it is! I'd have rather had Branch or Poszlusny, but I'm betting long-term Gonzalez outperforms Ginn Jr.I think we over-paid for Ugoh, but oh well.
