last year’s draft https://www.coltsfanshop.com/Jack-Doyle-Jersey , so they decided to try to do more this year.Colts General Manager Chris Ballard now has three second-round picks and an extra one in the future, after last night’s decision to trade out of the first round. They sent the 26th pick to Washington (which drafted pass-rusher Montez Sweat) in exchange for the 46th pick this year and Washington’s 2020 second-rounder.They now have the 34th, 46th, and 59th overall picks, in addition to their 89th overall in the third round tonight.“I’m pretty patient, I don’t panic – we don’t panic,” Ballard said, via the . “We stay true to what we’re looking at on the board, and we make a decision.”Ballard suggested more action could be forthcoming, as well.“That 34th pick is gonna be really attractive to people,” he said. “So we’ll see.”In last year’s second round, the Colts came away with defensive rookie of the year Darius Leonard, starting right tackle Braden Smith, and defensive line prospects Tyquan Lewis and Kemoko Turay.“Depth? That’s why we made the move,” Ballard said. “We thought the ability of the three [second-round picks], that’s the strength of how we had it lined up. . . .“I do not see the same depth that there was last year at the top of the draft. I think I told a couple of y’all this a few weeks ago where between 11, 12, 15, all the way to 70, I think it’s a matter of flavor, who you like and who you want. We got good players last year at the start of the second round. We think we will do it again.”If Ballard drafts as well as he did last year, it will have been worth the wait. The NFL Draft is just a week away, and the Indianapolis Colts are armed with both the 26th and 34th overall picks among their impressive arsenal. With this year’s draft class being considered deep..." Indianapolis Colts Draft CentralDraft ProspectsBallard’s Potential Big Board: 5 Top NFL Draft DT Prospects for Colts New,63commentsEDT4. Dexter Lawrence, DT, ClemsonThe 6’4”, 342 pound defensive tackle had 36 tackles Adam Vinatieri Jersey , 7.0 tackles for loss, and 1.5 sacks in 13 games for the Tigers defense, as he was awarded First-Team All-ACC honors as a junior. However, there might be some ‘buyer beware’ here, as he missed Clemson’s two playoff games because of a positive performance-enhancing drug test. Lawrence is simply humongous, but he’s also blessed with surprising quickness and light feet for such a big man of his stature. He has the sheer strength and ability to consistently command a double team and simply absorbs blocks at times—which would bode well for the Colts playmakers at linebacker such as Darius Leonard to be freed up. That being said, some question whether he’s regressed since he was ACC Defensive Freshman of the Year in 2016, and his average pass rush ability could limit him to more of a two-down run stuffer—which hurts his overall usefulness. <hr class="p-entry-hr" id="nPjHuC">Douglas DeFelice-USA TODAY Sports3. Jeffery Simmons, DT, Mississippi StateThe 6’4”, 301 pound junior defensive tackle recorded 63 tackles, 18.0 tackles for loss, and 2 sacks in 13 games, as he was named a 2nd-Team All-American and First-Team All-SEC member for Mississippi State.Perhaps the most polarizing prospect on this list with potential character concerns, Simmons has elite level Top 15 level draft talent, but carries some red flag risk with his past.He was arrested in March of 2016 for punching a woman, and while he never had any further incidents with the Bulldogs, any general manager will have to perform his due diligence to ensure he’s in fact matured from it. The other issue with Simmons is that he tore his ACL during a February workout, so a team may have to wait on him until he’s fully recovered—whether it’s even 2020. Still, the combination of speed, power, and explosiveness is quite tantalizing, and Simmons makes for one of the best athletes in this group. That being said, his instincts and awareness could use some improvement at the next level—which aren’t always easy fixes. Is Chris Ballard feeling lucky and ready to roll the dice? <hr class="p-entry-hr" id="Tcpff9">Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images2. Jerry Tillery, DT, Notre DameAt 6’6”, 295 pounds Marvin Harrison Color Rush Jersey , Tillery had 30 tackles, 10.5 tackles for loss, 8.0 sacks, and 3 forced fumbles, and 2 blocked kicks in 13 games for the Fighting Irish in 2018. As a result of his strong play, the senior defensive tackle earned AP 2nd-Team All-American honors. Tillery is well built and has exceptional power for his longer frame, as he has the strength to simply bull rush or overpower opposing offensive lineman. He also has ‘sweet feet’ and impressive lateral quickness, but he could withstand to refine some of his technique—which limits him a bit in the running game. It could mark a consecutive draft where the Colts selected a former Notre Dame star in the first round, but I’m guessing most fans of the Horseshoe wouldn’t complain. <hr class="p-entry-hr" id="Y6PSaD">Photo by Streeter Lecka/Getty Images1. Christian Wilkins, DT, ClemsonThe 6’3”, 315 pound senior defensive tackle recorded 51 tackles, 14.0 tackles for loss, 5.5 sacks, and a forced fumble in 15 games—earning unanimous 1st Team All-American and ACC honors respectively. Highly regarded for his character and work ethic, Wilkins is also the type of low pad level, strong, and disruptive defensive tackle that could simply thrive in the Colts defensive scheme. He’s a very good, maybe not great athlete, but he’s the type of player that could be a solid Pro Bowler for the next decade along the Colts defensive line. In that regard, he’s really the type of prospect that a team drafts and doesn’t have to think twice about being a highly productive pro for a long, long time. While his ceiling may not be as high as some of his defensive tackle counterparts here, his floor isn’t very far from the attic either. Careful, you might hit your head! He’s at least an easy triple if this were a baseball at-bat and looks like one of the safer picks in this year’s draft.
