Official 2017 NFL Draft Rounds 4 / 5 / 6 / 7
 

Lots of ILB, RB and TE prospects with solidly high grades still left on the board. Not so many CBs left with solid grades.

NFL.com top rated guy left is an OG whom their NFL comparison to is Jack Mewhort. Probably about the last O-Lineman remaining whom could be better than Good / Haeg / Schwenke.

Money time, Ballard. You have done well so far; now find us a RB and some good quality depth whom might develop to steal play time sooner rather than later!

Cheers,

The RB cupboard is getting bare in this draft, Perine and Mack are the only RB's that interest me.

I would think the Bengals will release either Hill or Bernard after drafting Mixon. More likely Bernard. I wouldn't mind bringing him into the mix.

Too bad this OL class sucks so much. I'd love for this team to grab a groom-to-replace option at LT for Castonzo, given Castonzo's mileage. But I doubt that guy is in this draft class.

RB definitely today. And please please please not just a Frank Gore clone. This RB roster already has too many guys who can fight like hell for 3-4 yards but never break 20+.

I wouldn't rule out TE, honestly, if there's a good option on the board. Especially if Doyle is asked to be a featured receiver or gets hurt, there aren't a lot of great blocking options on the roster currently.

Would definitely be on the lookout for a return man of some sort. No obvious De'Anthony Thomas type guys I can think of in this draft, but coming from KC, you'd think Ballard would be about those guys who can scare other teams as a returner and still offer some package value on offense. Not sure Chester Rogers or Quan Bray are those guys.

Lol there are still plenty of decent RBs available. Brian Hill will be the pick.

Please another pass rusher, Lawson would do!!

Matt Miller mocked the following guys to the Colts in Rd 4 this morning:

RB Brian Hill
DL DJ Jones
LB Jalen Reeves-Maybin

I've seen both Hill and Jones discussed on here and they seem like good fits.

DJ Jones would be awesome!

Jeremy Sprinkle from Arkansas is a good option at TE & he is a very strong blocker.

I would just take Lawson, Brantley, and DJ Jones with our three 4th round picks. Just finish the job on completely remaking the Front Seven.

Then take whatever's left at RB in Round 5.

BPA, Ballard.

Also, we do not have a 7th round pick, traded it for Billy Winn last year.

Give them a Philadelphia welcome? You mean, like, throw batteries at them?

Yep, one final going-away present from Grigson.

Thanks man. :rolleyes:

I want Lawson in the 4th here

Exactly what I though of when he said that.

Also the stat the 2/3 of players in th NFL come from rounds 3 and later, well considering that is 2/3 of all players drafted, it's not a big surprise!

Jesus Christ make the pick already!!! Man the draft could be over in a day and a half!!

You DO know that none of our posters are making the picks, except Smitty, right?

In fact, up until 2010, the draft used to be over in less than a day.

I know, let's go back to that !!

There goes Perrine, who I kinda liked.

Fuck a the Bengals, there goes Lawson !!

Wouldn't be shocked if the Colts take a TE this round.

And Carl Lawson, who I really liked.

I hope they NEVER have the draft in Philly again !!!!!!

Appears that we just traded back.

Wonder the details of the trade.

Colts trade out of #121, get the 49ers #143 and #161.

According to the trusty NFL Drafttek Value Chart we came out ahead, so there is that.

Edit: I was hoping for a 6th or 7th just for the sake of wanting to have some interest in the last 2 rounds, but obviously that doesn't trump getting the best value possible.

The coverage of this draft has been the worst I have ever seen

I don't mind picking up another 5th rounder......

But lots of solid guys are going off the board.

Cheers,

I don't like trading back for fringe picks :cool: Could have gotten decent player here I think

Are you on ESPN or NFLN?

If these networks would worry about covering the draft instead of all of these fuckin puff pieces and guest announcers , we might know !!!!

IMO this is pretty concerning b/c we need to add 2-3 CBs for at least depth. Even with Wilson being drafted don't we only have 3 CBs on the roster (4 if you count Butler)?

I feel the draft is over in terms of drafting anyone who will help the Colts this season!

It is beginning to look that way.

I don't agree with that.

With that attitude, Haeg was a write-off last season.

There are still good players going to be selected in the bottom of the 4th through the middle of the 5th round where we have 5 picks.

They may not be day one starters....but they will come in and give quality time.

Cheers,

I think this was the round to trade up, not back. Missed on Lawson and Perine but maybe could've gotten one with a small trade up. Not many/any difference makers left now.

We still got three potentially very good defensive players so I will not complain too much here.

It is pretty bare in the draft.

CB1 = Davis
CB2 = Wilson
CB3 = Vet Free Agent yet to be signed
CB4 = Melvin
CB5 = Morris
CB6 = Butler moved back from Safety

That is a pretty solid lineup if we can get solid service out of Melvin and Morris again this season.

All is not lost.

Cheers,

I never watch the networks anymore. I watch the web broadcasts from people who actually talk about these players.

Raiders draft David Sharpe OT Florida, who I also kinda liked.

Which one is your favorite?
:cool:
