Locked On Colts - Daily Podcast On The Indianapolis Colts - FAN MOCKS: We Graded Indianapolis Colts Mock Drafts from the Everydayer Club!

Starting point is 00:00:00 Back by popular demand, Jake and I are going to rate your guys mock drafts from the Everydayer Club. Let's get to it. You are Locked on Colts, your daily Indianapolis Colts podcast. Part of the Locked On Podcast Network, your team every day. Welcome to Locked on Cults. I'm Zach Hicks. That's Jake Arthur. And on today's show, we reached out to the Everydayer Club and the Insider program associated with Locked on Colts.

Starting point is 00:00:34 Make sure that you are checking that out. the show notes below to get people's mock drafts. We wanted to hear from our everyday or club people. And we got in a couple mock drafts that Jake and I are going to throw up on the screen on YouTube. We're going to read them out for you audio listeners. And we're going to rate them. We're going to give our rankings. And Jake, there is no criteria here. It can be just purely off vibes if you want to give someone an A or an F. It can be off of real realisticness or realism, I guess, is a better word for that. So there's no real grading scale here, Jake, we're going to go completely off vibes.

Starting point is 00:01:07 But we have five mock drafts. We're going to go through over the course of this video, talk about some new players that pop up in these mocks and just go through them. So without further ado, Indie 2FLA or Indie to Florida, I guess, in our everyday air club, sent this one in where he takes T.J. Parker with the Colts first pick at 47, took Josiah Trotter, the linebacker from Missouri at 78 in round three. Then when we get into day three, took some of my five.

Starting point is 00:01:35 favorites, offensive tackle Jude Bowery from Boston College, wide receiver, Dejohn, Stribbling at 156 from Ole Miss, the godfather himself, Deonté Corleone at 214, the defensive tackle from Cincinnati, Skyler Thomas from Oregon State, the safety at 249 and at 254, I think it's pronounced C. N. Sloane Sloan, C. C.N. Sloan from NC State, the edge rush there. So Jake, what's your immediate reaction when you're looking at this mock draft? Well, first, I'm seeing a ton of value and guys that you're getting below their ADP. T.J. Parker, I think the Colts would be wildly fortunate to have him fall in their lap. That's a guy who very well might go in the first round, but for him to be there at 47th, that's great.

Starting point is 00:02:21 You're getting Trotter around behind where you and I would go, stribbling later on, Corleone later on. So, like, I really like that. I think you're getting great value. And I mean, I know at this juncture, sometimes we say it. We get it in comments all the time. No way this guy will be available here, here, here. Well, each year we get here and guys are still there around or two after they should be. So I like that. I think there's a good dose of realness to that.

Starting point is 00:02:53 So I would give that, shoot, I would give that one, give that an A. I mean, if the Colts came out with Parker, Trotter, Stribling, you got, Corleone in there. Some of the other guys I'm just kind of lukewarm on. I'm, like, Bowery's fine. I don't know that I want to take a tackle that early again, but like overall, I like that. I agree with PFS and their A evaluation of that one. Yeah, no, I completely agree it too. I would love it if the draft turned out this way. And yeah, while we're looking at it saying like, oh, yeah, there's no way to John Stribling is going to be there in round five or Trotter that late in round three.

Starting point is 00:03:28 I always go back to the year the Colts took Berenhardt, Ryman, and he was consistently getting mocked in the top 40, sometimes in the first round throughout that whole draft process. So it was always like, oh, there's no way he's going to be there for the Colts pick. Maybe they had to take him at, I think they had like pick 52 or something in that draft. Maybe they'd have to take him there. They got him all the way in like the late third round. I think it was like 78 or something they took him or 79 they took him. And he's been their bookend left tackle for, for, you know, he's going to be for the next day. decade now. So things happen in the draft that are kind of crazy. So if this scenario happens

Starting point is 00:04:03 where these players fall, I'd be a huge fan of that Corleone in round six would be incredible. I will say with Sloane from NC State, he was an edge rusher, high weight speed guy that I highlighted that the Colts could target maybe in the later round. So, you know, ideally you'd want someone better, but you'd get T.J. Parker to start it off. So, I mean, I would love this mock draft it became a reality. I like Jude Bowery a lot, the offensive tackle from Boston College as well. So, yeah, I think a good A-A-plus would be great here. Pro Football Sports Network.

Starting point is 00:04:36 Thank you for letting those players fall to Indy to Florida from our Everydayer Club. Next one here, Jake, from our guy, U-Loss, I believe. You lost. You-Loss. I kept saying it wrong. He said he didn't care how I pronounced it, but I'm going to try to get it right. You lost here from the Everyday Air Club took Anthony Hill Jr., the linebacker from Texas at 47, then got some home cooking with Elijah Surrott at 78, wide receiver out of Indiana.

Starting point is 00:05:05 Ramello Haight, a commonly mocked player to the Colts at 113, edge rusher from Texas Tech, VJ Payne, the safety from Kansas State at 156, Jake's favorite player in the draft, Eric Gentry, the linebacker from USC at 214. Zavian Harris, defensive tackle from Ole Miss at 249, and back home to Indiana to close it off at 254 with Macal, Macale Camara, edge rusher from Indiana. So Jake, first off here, I think ULoss is really appealing to you and me with this mock draft.

Starting point is 00:05:37 I think he really was appealing to us with a couple of these picks, with VJ Payne and Eric Gentry for you, Eris and his massive 6'8 defensive tackle for me. This is someone who clearly is in that everyday air club and watches our show quite a bit. Oh, without a doubt. Now, see, this isn't a mock with like a ton of flash on it, but I appreciate this. I love these type of mocks because you lost his sticking true to his own personal board here. So Anthony Hill, like, that's a guy a lot of people would take it 47.

Starting point is 00:06:10 But Sarat is someone who like, if you're comfortable that high, cool. Like, you could maybe get him a little lower. Romello height. I think that's real value there because I think a lot of times you see him like in the third. VJ. Payne, you know, obviously a guy who listens to what we have to say about VJ. Payne and his versatility, strong safety mentality and a free safety's body, he could play nickel. We've tooled around with the idea of making him a boundary corner.

Starting point is 00:06:37 Gentry's interesting. He is your favorite meme of doesn't work, but would be fun to fix up. And Zavian Harris, I believe he's maybe got, I think he had some sort of thing on his record. which I mentioned to you not long ago, but an enormous human being. So, yeah, I mean, that's good. I like when people stick through their board, even if the simulators don't like it. I appreciate your conviction, you lost. Yeah, and I think the big thing with that, too, is like, if you told me this is the draft

Starting point is 00:07:05 the Colts came away with, it wouldn't shock me in the least bit. Like, maybe Surat changed out for a more explosive wide receiver. But outside of that, like, if you told me they came out of this draft with Hill, height, VJ, Payne, I think those are very much Chris Ballard players. And I think he could easily come away with those guys on actual draft night or draft nights this next coming week. So I think it's a very realistic draft overall. I know we got some of the Indiana flavor in there to make sure that, you know, those are the, they won a championship last year, right? You got to get some Indiana players in there.

Starting point is 00:07:38 I will say with Camara, though, like, I know he's not the greatest athlete, but he is a sturdy presence that can defend the run fairly well. And, you know, if you're going Romello height earlier where he's more. between her, more of a guy who, you know, you can drop into coverage, you can rush. He's a speed rusher type guy. You probably want more of like a base end type player like Camara with him. So if you're going to do the day three thing with edge rusher, I think you've paired two guys who pair pretty well together. Two really unique frames for the defensive end position because Camara is like a sought off

Starting point is 00:08:10 guy as well. He's like, I think he's like six foot one or so. And he's got like interesting size for the position. So kind of two extremes, but I like it, you know, get unique with it. Camara is a guy that admittedly you and I probably haven't talked enough about. And we have a lot of IU fans around that mentioned him a lot. I wouldn't mind it as one of their like day three edge guys because I'm, I'm very much in favor of them doubling up at edge.

Starting point is 00:08:36 And I mean, you could do much, much worse than Camara with one of your day three edge picks. Like he's a, he's a productive player. You don't really know how he does it. He's not like exceptional in anyone. He's just solid all around. Good run defender, good pass rusher. Just productive. And that's a good player to have.

Starting point is 00:08:53 Yeah, no, absolutely. So you lost, even though Pro Football Sports Network was not a fan of this mock draft, I like it. I think they're being too harsh on where he took Romelo height and VJ Payne. And even Anthony Hill Jr., like I think at 47, it would be pretty much not like a steal, but it'd be like good value there. Getting in just a B on that, I think they're being a little rough on you there. Hating on Payne in the fifth round is crazy. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:09:16 So honestly, I go like B plus on this. Like I'm not the biggest Surat fan. And Gentry, you know, I've had my qualms with Gentry in this entire draft cycle. But like a B plus, I'd be happy with this draft classic. Again, maybe more explosive receiver in round three. But I mean, if they took Sarat, I'm like, hey, he was a pretty good player on the championship team last year. I'm not, I'm not going to complain about them taking him in round three. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:09:41 I would probably like to address Edge sooner. But I do think if you're going to wait on. it you got to pick two and i i also again i think i mentioned this the other day if you're going to double up i like to take two different styles like height is your fastball camara is just like your stout kind of basin like you mentioned so don't get redundant with too many types of one guy like even it out a little bit so i do like the fact they made up for not getting an edge super early yeah absolutely so that is two of our five mock drafts coming up we're going to get to mock drafts from Jesse and Patrick and how they featured some trades in theirs.

Starting point is 00:10:18 We're going to go into some details on those trades and how their ultimate, how their mock drafts ultimately ended up at the end of the day. The NFL draft is here where preparation meets opportunity and every decision matters. It's all about being ready when the moment comes.

Starting point is 00:11:17 All right, welcome back, everybody. and a reminder that this whole show today is basically generated from the Everydayer Club. We wanted to give everyone from the Everydayer Club a chance to kind of get their voice out there. So we sent a call out for these mock drafts just to basically give us your final predictive mock on a draft simulator. So everyone's kind of cooking with the same ingredients here. Send a screenshot in and we got some really good answers here. So if you were not yet a member of the EveryT, day or club, then go to locked on colds.

Starting point is 00:11:50 supercast.com or you can click in the link at our show notes. Obviously too late to get your mock in now. But you can still send this stuff in the, in the Discord server. We will react to it. We'll chat with you. And we always like to do a lot of things that are very everyday or club specific. So this will not be the final themed episode for everyday air club members.

Starting point is 00:12:10 So let's go ahead and move on here, Zach, to our next mock. This one is from Jesse. and we're going to introduce our first trades into it. So let me get his trade details. So Jesse traded Kenny Moore to the Cowboys for a fifth round pick. And then he also moved up 23 picks in the fourth round with the Saints. And swapped fourth and fifth rounders to do that.

Starting point is 00:12:38 So in exchange here, we have got, you know, C.J. Allen, who's kind of a faller. I don't think it's totally far-fetched for Allen to be available. Allen is there, one of your favorite receivers in the whole draft, Skylar Bell is there, Caden Curry, maybe a little early, Caleb Alarms Orr, someone we've talked a lot about, Zavian Harris and Vijay Payne, make a comeback, one of your former guys, Cade Clubneck, Riley Nowakowski, who is, again, someone who I think a lot of people around here

Starting point is 00:13:07 would love to have on the Colts, and then Emil Wagner, bringing up the rear out of Notre Dame. What do you think? I am so hot and cold with this draft. Jesse, it's like you're appealing to me with a couple of these picks and then you're killing me with some other ones. But to start off, I mean, the day two picks, I can't call this like a bad draft because I do love the day two picks. I haven't really talked about CJ Allen enough on this show just because I'm assuming he's going earlier than the Colts pick. But I mean, for me, he's neck and neck with Josiah Trotter as like my linebacker three in this class.

Starting point is 00:13:39 I really like CJ Allen. I think he is just athletic. He's fluid. He's fast. he's still just scratching the surface of what he can be. And there's just this urgency that he plays with. And I think he can be a good cover guy just with more time developing there. And then you give me Skylar Bell, who on the complete opposite end of the spectrum,

Starting point is 00:13:57 like a 24-year-old wide receiver who was uber productive the last two years, had over 2,000 total yards the last two years at Yukon. And I just think that he is so ready. I think he's just very similar to like Ricky Pearsall a couple years ago. I don't know why Pierce saw got into round one. and Skyler Bell is like a round three or round four type of player. So Skylar Bell, I love it. Caleb Alarms or in round four, awesome, great value.

Starting point is 00:14:21 I think that's round five, right? 150. Five, yeah. Yeah, Caleb Alarms or in round five. Oh, yeah, that's money in the bank right there. VJ Payne, I really like the pick. Clubneck, even there. Like, that's fine that late.

Starting point is 00:14:34 Like, don't hate him there. You'd even know Oakowski, too, towards the end of the draft. Like, you get a full back slash tight end there that can block. very, very big fan of that. My two picks, though, and one of them I can't be too upset about because it's like one of the last picks of the draft, but I'm just not an Emil Wagner fan at all. I really don't like Emil Wagner's film. He's like 290 with no power and he's not even that good of an athlete. It's just a weird film to watch.

Starting point is 00:15:00 And Caden Curry at 136, man. I can't do Caden Cury that early. Maybe if you're throwing a seventh rounder at him, I can be fine with it. but like i know he was productive at ohio state last year but it's like a lot of effort sacks there's really not much there in my opinion um maybe he can be like a jack sawyer type like soyer was actually pretty like surprisingly decent uh for pittsburgh last year so maybe he can be that type of guy uh but not a huge fan but at the end of the day like if my biggest complaint your fourth round pick i'm not having that big an issue here i love the day two picks uh so it's probably another like

Starting point is 00:15:37 B B plus for me. I really love those day two picks. And they come out of this drive with C. J Allen and Skyler Bell. Honestly, I might go like A minus on this draft because I love those two players. Yeah, I think it is hard to argue without checking those two big boxes in the first couple of picks. I mean, you get a bona fide, you know, stud Mike linebacker. You get a receiver who should be able to contribute right away, which is something we're not even really trying to put on whatever rookie they draft. We're trying to be patient and saying they're going to be a little rotational guy, but I think Skylar Bell can probably contribute pretty quick. We've talked a lot this week about Caleb Alarms Or how well he fits the Colts

Starting point is 00:16:17 and how much we think they probably like him. Caden Curry, you might just be doubling up on J.T. Tuumalo House. Because like, two of a low house film wasn't really overbearing with the physical traits either. It was, again, a lot of effort sacks, a lot of playing to the whistle and just, you know outlasting the blocker essentially so you don't quite know how we got to this statistical production he did but he got there uh so that one was solid you know i probably will give that about a b plus i think uh the highs were high on that one there were there were some lows but the highs were high i'm so high i'm much higher on skyler bell than you i think so i that's why i think i'll go i like i like him though i just don't want to go second round so like third round i'm

Starting point is 00:17:02 totally fine yeah that's totally fair totally fair next one here from patrick using the pro football focus simulator. And round two at pick 47, Gabe Ocas is who we took. Gabe Ocas. And then Jake, he made a trade in round three. I think you have the details in front of you, right? What was the trade details he made? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:17:19 So it looks like Patrick went back 20 spots in the third round of Philadelphia, who gave him a third, a fourth, and a sixth. And then he also later in the draft sent Kenny Moore and a seventh to the chiefs for a fifth round pick, which, hey, I think that is kind of realistic. sound in. Yeah, pretty fair conversation. This veteran player and here's our seventh round pick, whatever, for, you know, a sixth with Pittman, but you could maybe get a fifth out of Kenny.

Starting point is 00:17:47 Yep, yep, no, completely agree. And then with that round three pick after trading back, that took to John Stribling, in round four, Chris McClellan, the defensive tackle from Missouri, Bryce Becher in there for Jake. Yeah, I see what he's doing here for Jake there in round five. DJ Campbell as well, the guard from Texas sneaks in. Caden Curry and Cole Wisniewski, who I brought up on our mock draft Monday last time, the safety from Texas Tech.

Starting point is 00:18:12 Jaden Kennedy, a cornerback from Oregon, a very, very fun nickel player. If he's there that late, I love that pick. And then Cole Payton, to round it out here, one of the few draftable quarterbacks, in my opinion. So him being available that late, I'm a big fan of, this is an interesting mock draft, Jake. I want to get, you get your opinion in there first, and then, and then I'll be because the linebacker issue is probably the one we're going to be back and forth on. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:18:41 So I'll say that I definitely like Ackis and Stripling. When I put together my final mock, there's a very good chance I have both Ackis and stribling, probably stribling in the fourth. I like the Cajones to trade back 20 spots, was it, in the third, to get something out of that. And I like the fact, I like Kenny Moore a great deal. but if you're on the trade block up cool just getting rid of guys like trade them get them out of here

Starting point is 00:19:10 get something for them so i'm in favor of that chris mcclellan in the fourth round great value a lot of people are really really high on him kaden murkurry strikes again uh canady is one of my favorite picks in this at two 14 to get a nice little nickel corner which you need like you need a a direct backup slot defender right now, I think, and you get them in the sixth round. That's great value. And then Colt Payton is, man, that's, I'm trying to say if that would be direct competition for Riley Leonard, because that's two very mobile guys. Peyton even more so than Leonard can run better than Leonard can.

Starting point is 00:19:54 And, you know, as a passer, he may be a little more diverse of a passer coming out of North Dakota to state. Didn't have as much experience as Leonard, but Leonard was kind of an RPO short guy merchant, you know, short route merchant, but I don't hate that, that pick whatsoever. Yeah, no, for sure. You want to talk about Bryce Betcher, though, don't you? Well, I think overall I give this one like a B for me, and it's not even because I do it's a bad draft.

Starting point is 00:20:19 Ocas, I just, I'm so back and forth on if I like him enough at 47, because I think the run defense is more of a projection, and I'm scared of that, you know, run defense is been a big thing for me this draft cycle. Stribling, I love after the tradeback. McClellan, I think, is a really good pick. Campbell, that's good value. And I think there's really good value with those last two picks with Peyton and Kennedy at the end with from Oregon.

Starting point is 00:20:45 I do struggle a little bit with Betcher being your solution at linebacker. It's tough for him to be the only linebacker, I will say. Yeah, I mean, you would have to. I feel better if I knew like O'Caric was coming with him or something. That's what I was going to say. If your plan was Bobby O'Carike right after the draft, I feel a lot better about this. But with Betcher being like the only guy brought in, I'm a little concerned. But I still think there's some good value there.

Starting point is 00:21:10 I like some of those day three picks, especially McClellan in round four. I think there's some good value there. So some good stuff so far from our Colts Everyday Club. We're not just puff and smoke up their butt here either. We do like a lot of these. These are our Everyday Club guys, Jake, right? So they know what we say. They're appealing to us a little bit.

Starting point is 00:21:27 Exactly. Some of these are very much gift wrapped for us, I would say. They are. They are. And we love it, nonetheless. But coming up next, we're going to finish it off with one more mock draft that featured a ton of trades, a ton of trades, all the way, not too many, because we did put a line on it, but to get the Colts up to 10 draft picks. So we had to save this one to the very end, because it had the most draft picks among all of them. If you have ever opened your bank account and thought, where did all my money go?

Starting point is 00:22:43 That is rocketmoney.com slash locked on. All right, everybody. So we have got one more everydayer club member. trying to think of the word, but generated mock draft here that we're going to discuss. Lots of trades. I will say it's four trades. I'm not going to go over the details. Kind of a, I ain't reading all that.

Starting point is 00:23:10 Congratulations. Or I'm sorry to hear that type of situation. But it results in them getting 10 total draft picks, including a tradeback in the first round and second round it looks. But Zach, we see here. Anthony Hill still fall into the Colts here after trading back 10 spots. Yeah, I feel like we had to reload the mock draft simulator a couple times to get the desired outcome. But that's the nature of just drafting in general, right? You never know when that one in a million chance is going to happen for you.

Starting point is 00:23:40 Anthony Hill Jr. could fall to 57 for sure because crazy things happen come draft day. So we get Anthony Hill Jr. at 57, the linebacker from Texas. We've talked about a couple times already. Bit of a surprise here, though. cornerback Julian Neal from Arkansas at pick 80. I don't pay it. One of the tradeback picks acquired. Bryce Lance,

Starting point is 00:24:00 the wide receiver from North Dakota State, also in round three. Then getting to round four, Aiden Fisher, the linebacker from Indiana, Chris McClellan, who we just talked about in the fifth round. Michael Taff,

Starting point is 00:24:12 one of Jake's guys from Texas, the safety, 162, 185. We get Robert Henry Jr., the running back from UTSA. Diego Pounds, offensive tab from Ole Miss. We haven't talked about him a ton, this draft cycle, TripTrain him.

Starting point is 00:24:25 So another running back in here. We're loading up on running back in this mock draft. He gets in there in the round seven, and then to finish it off, a quarterback, Luke Altmeyer from Illinois. So what are your takes on this, Jake here? A little bit of surprise with some of the positions here, linebacker, but then corner and then kind of a project-wide receiver. Yeah, my first reaction is that Diego Pound sounds like the name that your uncle says when he can't think of DeAngelo Pond's name. You know what I mean?

Starting point is 00:24:54 You know what? Diego Pounds guy came out of Arkansas? No. It's very true. I do like how, again, this one comes with conviction, and it is that we are going to run the ball here. You got two running backs here to pair with Jonathan Taylor. You've got, let's see, you got an offensive tackle as well.

Starting point is 00:25:16 I could do without Luke Altmeyer. I do think the Colts have interest in Luke Altmire, but I would prefer for them to do it as a UDFA. There's really no need to spend an actual draft pick on them. I think your special teams gets really good here, like really good, really fast. I think Aidan Fisher and Michael Taft are two of the players I've watched this year, who I have most projected to be like really strong special teams players. And then Bryce Lance, who we talked about earlier in this week as another athletic, high weight speed guy and he's got a lot more production at North Dakota State than his brother

Starting point is 00:25:53 did as the quarterback there. So I like this one. It gives you a wide variety of stuff. And I think it immediately sends you necessary role players. And some of them I think should be able to contribute right away. Julian Neal's a guy we've barely talked about because corner only just recently became any sort of need. But again, height weight speed guy. He's a big body guy stood out at the senior bowl. I liked what I saw from Neil. He's intriguing. I know like some of the people I follow from other teams,

Starting point is 00:26:24 like the Packers especially, they really like him as a prospect for them. Yeah, no, Neil makes a lot of sense. And the Packers actually do historically draft similar types of corners that the Colts have under Chris Ballard. So that's a good shout out there, Jake. Bryce Lance is probably not the wide receiver I'd go with. But when you're picking towards the end of round three,

Starting point is 00:26:43 it's kind of hard to differentiate, like, who's going to be there. like if bell and stribbling are both gone yeah i'd probably take lance there then like i don't know who would be the better option for me there uh maybe i wait till day three and take like a josh cameron from baylor but you know eh i'd maybe lance is just the better pick there uh aden fisher love aiden fisher uh round four i'd be fine with him there again the athletic limitations are always going to be there with him and he's going to be such a good test to see if like smarts completely outweigh athletic limitations, but he is a very smart player. And I really enjoyed watching his film. As for the running backs, yeah, just get the get those big boys in there. I think both the,

Starting point is 00:27:25 I think Henry's a big dude too. I know train him is huge. Oh, so you talked about train him the other day. Yeah, train him's like 230. He's massive. I think Henry's pretty big too. Robert Henry is just the name of a power back. Like that guy goes through the eye formation up the A gap on the goal line and just pounds it in. Yeah. Whereas a three prong face mask, I can already already just see it in my mind. He's a 90s throwback running back. Absolutely. And then Diego Pounds, I had a draftable grade on him in the Indy Draft Guide.

Starting point is 00:27:55 I know some people have him as like a top 100 player. I just could not get that high on him. But if you're taking him round six, round seven, zero complaints for me. And then Luke Altmeier to close it out, I actually like Altmeier apparently more than the consensus. I did the quarterbacks in the indie draft guide. As you can tell by all of them having like six or seventh round grades on them, You could tell that I wrote up the quarterbacks.

Starting point is 00:28:17 But Luke Altmire, my sixth round grade on him was higher than most, I think, in the draft media. I don't think he's anything special. He's small and feisty as a quarterback. You know, he moves around a little bit. He can make some things happen. He just reminded me so much of Sam Ellinger when I was watching him as like the running around is not going to work in the NFL because he's not that level of athlete. But he does have a little bit of magic to him that he can make some things happen. I think he'd be a good quarterback three.

Starting point is 00:28:44 So I think these are fine way to end off a draft. But really, I think the selling points here for me are Hill, Fisher, McClellan again. McClellan is someone that we like a lot here on this show, even though we haven't talked about him a ton. But yeah, I probably go with like a B on this one as well. I like Julian Neal too. Yeah. I don't dislike Julian Neal. It's just where's my edge rusher, right?

Starting point is 00:29:06 Do we even have an edge rusher on here? Yeah, I don't think so. Yeah, this is your only B-Ly lineman. This is Jadavian Clownie submitted this mantra. is what it is, right? Exactly. Make sure. So let me say a couple things that surprised me about all these.

Starting point is 00:29:21 Not once did we get Jacob Rodriguez in there. That's true. There was no Zion Young. I don't think we had Malachi Lawrence. So like this, the most popular early guy would seem to be Anthony Hill. Yeah. Gabe Accus is another guy we've talked about early as well. But like maybe this is just an example of those guys,

Starting point is 00:29:41 they're stock rising a bit and not being available. or just the temperature is kind of changing. So I thought that was interesting. Like we started out the week with a whole thing about Jacob Rodriguez being like an easy favorite because you got a bunch more stuff submitted to you about fans telling us who they wanted to pick. And Rodriguez was like the overwhelming favorite, but we didn't get him here at all. Yeah, maybe this is the everydayer club people like hearing me on that show saying my betting favorite would still be Anthony Hill Jr. I don't know how much sway I have with you guys.

Starting point is 00:30:11 You guys can let us know in the chat. We talked a lot of Anthony Hill this week. I did a spotlight on him too. Yeah, I just, he, a little preview to build a Ballard that I'm going to try to get out a couple of this next week, guys. He checks every single box that there is at linebacker. He's the only, well, one of two linebackers in this draft that checks every single box that the Colts have historically looked for. And this is even with combining some of Luana Rumo's past history as well. So I think that he's going to be very high on their board.

Starting point is 00:30:41 We'll see if he is ultimately the pick. I still have some reservations about linebacker being that early for them. But we shall see. But thank you all for tuning in today to lockdown Colts. We'll be back yet again early next week. As Jake and I prevail, we show you guys. We'll prevail. We'll prevail in the end.

Starting point is 00:31:00 We'll show you guys our final mock drafts of the season. We've been working on our final mock drafts, our predictive mock drafts all week. I still don't have mine solidified because I go back and forth. I do too. So we will show you guys our final mock drafts that we do like predictive wise. I think if I think back, we both struggled last year quite a bit. I knocked mine out of the park last year. Oh, that's what it was.

Starting point is 00:31:24 I got like three or four, right. You had good last year. I was really good the year before, I think is what it was. It's never the same year though. Yeah, it's never the same. So we'll see who wins this year between us. But somebody usually gets a couple picks right in the Lockdown Colts host here.
