T3 That Thursday Thang - Mock Draft - Indianapolis Colts

we're doing some new things , so we're really heavy into the draft this year a lot of analysis , a lot of mock drafts , a lot of collaborations with other draft experts so we're having a great time . On April 24th please save the date , mark your calendars Our show is going to be coming on at a special time , april 24th , at 7.30 pm EST .

It's going to be the first night of the NFL draft , the first round . We'll be live . That entire round . We'll have friends and family and collaborators and fellow podcasters in studio with us as well as in the chat , so we're going to have a good group of folks with us .

So we're excited about breaking down that first round and just having fun with it while it's going on live on our television sets . So we're going to be having fun with that . Today we're going to be doing a mock draft

for the Indianapolis Colts . We've done about 11 so far . They're all on our social media platforms and , of course , you can find them very easily on our YouTube channel at TheyCallMeMrU M-I-S-T-A-Y-U . Check it out . Give me your draft grades for our mocks . Let me know what you think about what we've done . But we're going with the Colts today .

We're going to do four rounds for the Colts today excuse me , just because they have so many knees and it really goes beyond what they say on their team site . They got tight end safety , cornerback , linebacker , defensive end or edge defensive tackle and , of course , they got quarterback issues . You see what happened with Anthony Richardson last year .

He lost his job and , honestly , prospects are not good for him to get that job back . From what I'm seeing , he may have lost the confidence of the team and the organization . As a matter of fact , there

was a point last season where he basically took himself out of a game and I think that rubbed a lot of the team the wrong way . So he's basically fighting for his job . He's still around right now because he was such a high draft pick a few years ago . So he's kind of fighting for his job .

So they're definitely looking at a quarterback at some point in this draft , I'm assuming , or via free agency . Free agency is probably a better route for them . But we'll see what they do . But we're going to go ahead and do four rounds for them . They got a lot of flux . They have the entire offensive line outside of left guard .

Quentin Nelson is basically a free agent or could be a cap casualty . So there's a lot going on there . So they have a lot of needs . We're going to help them out . So we're going to go , instead of three rounds , we're going four rounds today to see if we can try to help these guys get some help for their very , very rough situation .

So thanks for your patience on this . We're going to go ahead and go into this draft and see if we can try to get these guys some help . Initially , I'm thinking about because of where they picked . They picked 14th . I'm thinking about potentially getting Tyler Warren , if he's available , tightened in from Penn State . I mean , he's a stud .

He had about 1,300 yards in his final college season , eight touchdowns . He was fantastic . If we can get him , I'm definitely going to do that . I'm not taking this pick . I want to see if I can get Tyler Warren from Penn State Stud tight end . I think if he's available , the coach could use him . So we'll be looking for that there . He is fantastic .

I love it . I love it all . Right , good things started off really well . I'm looking at uh defensive back now because they have some real needs in this area and , as a matter of fact , they need a few things here . So I have the luxury of getting either the cornerback

or a defensive tackle . I'm going to reject this . Trade 2026 is not going to help us out this year , so we're going to bypass that . And I got a couple of options . Got my guy from Michigan , gold Blue , kenneth Grant . We need a strong defensive tackle on the other side .

Uh , honestly , this is somebody who I know fairly well , but the guys that they have , they're aging Grover Stewart and DeForest Buckner . They're kind of getting up there and I'm feeling the door . They might want to go younger , so this might be a good move . Benjamin Morris is that cornerback Fantastic ? There we got Alante Ursary out of Minnesota at tackle .

I'm going to go with Kenneth Grant . I think this is a solid pick here . Get some stability on that defensive line , some pass flushing ability , because Kenneth Grant can do that Solid tackler . I

watched him a lot in Michigan during his career there . I don't have a bad word to say about it , but then the coach would be happy with this pick . All right , I'm going to reject all these trades . I'm not doing any of that . All right , so we already got a DT . I'm going to go ahead and move on from that .

See if we can try to show some other areas . I like some of the things I'm seeing right now . I want to make sure we're taking care of the needs that the Colts have and not just me getting who I like . All right . So let's look at our defensive guys . I think I missed out on a lot of the guys that I probably could have gotten .

I'll come back to this . I like Schlesinger out of UCLA , strong side linebacker . I mean , he fits in here well because I think a lot of the guys that they have they're kind of underproducing . Zaire Franklin is a name that he's been there for a while .

He fits in here well because I think a lot of the guys that they have they're kind of underproduced in this idea . Franklin's a name that he's been there for a while , but I think he can use some help . So I'm going to go ahead and grab Schlesinger here . I think he's going to be a sturdy young guy .

He's fierce , he can move across the field and he has enough speed to keep up with some of the wide receivers . I'm not going to say he has top speed or anything like that , but I think he's a good fit here . We're going to go ahead and roll with him , all right . So we only have , I believe , one more pick left at 116 .

It's going to be a tough one because we still got a lot of knees left . We still got O-line help quarterback knees here , because definitely something has to happen at quarterback too . This could be a huge reach for us . Ooh , I don't think I'm going to take that gamble

. So I think they'll go ahead and address quarterback in free agency . I think they will . Names like Darnold have been tossed around . He's actually a good fit at quarterback here , so I'll let them take care of that in free agency . Let's look at helping out more on this defense .

They got a lot of needs still hanging out here , all right , so I am going to . We're not going to start cornerback in safety here . Some of the guys already gone . I like them more . I missed out on Billy Bowman with that last pick , so I am going to go ahead and help them out with David Walker , central Arkansas . Solid player man .

He gave him some addressing ability . They actually need that big time on this indie defense . We're going to go ahead and take him here and lock this draft down . First pick we got . Tyler Warren stood out of Penn State 1,233 yards , eight touchdowns in his last year of his college career . Fantastic player .

I think whoever's a quarterback in Indianapolis is going to love him . He's going to be a great security blanket . Kenneth Grant , my guy from Michigan , go blue baby . Strong defensive tackle man , edge rushing

ability , solid tackler man . He's really smart . He doesn't get pushed around , so I like him there . Carson Schlesinger I know a little bit about him . I mean he's a solid linebacker . He helped UCLA out a lot on the defense , definitely able to cover a lot of that field .

He can keep up with a lot of the wide receivers that I've been seeing , at least in his college career anyways , I don't know what his speed is , but I think he's going to help the Colts out regardless and David Walker is going to run at their edge . A need out there at 116 . I think this is good . Send me your draft grades .

Let me know what you think about this . I think it went pretty good . Draft grades . Let me know what you think about this . I think it went pretty good . I think the Colts are going to do really well . If I went seven rounds I probably could have helped them out with all of their knees , but they're four rounds today . Let me know what you think .
