DT has got to be their main concern.

 

[jags224]

yeah their line is too small

 

[Archer]

If raji and Jerry are avaible take one of them. If there both gone , take Percy Harvin or another wr/player to energize the return game.

Iv heard alot of talk about Laurinitis , be great having him but no point in having a tackling mlb if we got no dts

Cause if Jerry and Raji are gone the next best dlinemen can be obtained in round 2 is the general feeling

 

[ThunderHorse]

yea, I've also been hearing rumors that with Caldwell coming in he's tired of the original philosophy the colts have lived by where you can get guys from smaller schools who might not have shown out as much in college, maybe a little undersized, but have great motors and are just great football players.

I don't mind us getting a defense that is bigger and a little more normal, that can only help, I'd love to see some beef at the DT position, but even now it doesn't look like that's going to happen with the rumors and mock drafts having Raji and Jerry being off the board by the time the Colts are able to make their first round pick.

I look at it like this, when the Colts pick comes around for the 1rst round, if Raji is off the board, Jerry is off the board, and there is no game changer explosive Receiver on the board, I wouldn't mind seeing us trade to get an earlier 2nd round pick and possible another 3rd round pick or more. If Harvin, or someone likewise is still on the board however, I think Polian will take them immediately.

I wouldn't mind seeing us trading down though, and still being able to pick up Derrick Williams as no one expects him to go 1rst round anyway.


Then again, in the past few days I've had a sneaking feeling that even if all of the above applies, but there is still no Percy Harvin like receiver on the board, that Polian may grab the Best O-linemen on the board if he doesn't trade down...

People can't figure out what Polian is going to do anyway though, truth is, the guy is a genius when it comes to draft day,

Reggie Wayne, Marvin Harrison, Edgerrin James, Rob Morris, Marlin Jackson, Peyton Manning, Dallas Clark, Bob Sanders, Dwight Freeney, Joseph Addai, Terrik Glenn, and Anthony Gonzales...

all of these guys were 1rst round picks, now Morris may have never been considered a great in the NFL, but the guy was solid and a huge contributor to Indianapolis, especially during the superbowl run where we FINALLY benched Gilbert Gardner because he was a POS linebacker and put Morris in at the outside linebacker.

but back on point, Polian can pick them, and he picks them well and finds talent, I'll never be worried about the Colts not having enough talent, just look at how many starters he pulled from the 1rst round alone, since he's been here, the only bust we can actually consider even close to a bust is Morris, and he was a great contributor to the team.

DT if Jerry or Raji are available. If not, and Percy Harvin is somehow there, take him.

Trade down otherwise.

[Gonzo]

Oh fuuuuuckkk yeah. I been so high on this kid lately, I'd love to have him in blue.

 

[Archer]

Likewise

 

[ThunderHorse]

Gonzo can play the outside, they've already said hes comfortable there, and the guy reminds me so much of Harrison they are basically one in the same, its just Gonzo can do a lot more after the catch.

I'd love to see Harvin take the slot and really use that speed advantage to abuse linebackers, and the strength and after the catch ability to make DB's miss and get more yards.

either way, this is a win if we can still get the same DT we want in the second round.

 

[ThunderHorse]

not to mention,

Harvin in the return game = win

Harvin/Garcon returning kicks,

Harvin returning punts.

I think I just shot clue glue everywhere.

 

[ThunderHorse]

it went from Peria Jerry, to Percy Harvin, to Hakeem Nicks, to DHB, and back to Hakeem Nicks, then to Evander Hood...

now I'm hearing that Indianapolis may draft Knowshon Moreno, then again, Polian has said nothing about this and its purely speculation.

I for one think it would be a waste of a first round pick, I'm not against us drafting a runningback early, its just I don't want our first pick to be a runningback when we still may be able to pick up a bruiser like the kid from Iowa in the second round.

I'd rather grab WR or DT in the first round, or trade down and do the same...

any opinions?

 

[Gonzo]

The kid from Iowa is Shonn Greene. Kid's a fucking freak, I'd love to have him.

I so very hope that Harvin or Nicks falls in our hands, it'd be a fantastic immediate addition to our offense.
