Mock Draft w/ trades

Now that Chuck Pagano is HC, I think we can expect to switch to 3-4. bbxxj wrote this and it helped e understand the 3-4 http://www.stampedeblue.com/2012/1/26/2736287/pagano-and-the-rebuilding-of-the-defense. I agree with him for most part except I don't think we will be able to get all of those FAs.

This mock IS going to trade the #1 pick since it is IMPROBABLE to have both Luck and Manning. You can't get rid of Manning so you don't take Luck.

1:1 Trade to Cleveland Browns for 2012: both 1s, 2nd 2013: 1, 3, 4

1:4 (would take RG3 - is willing to sit unlike Luck but i have him being taken by skins who trade with Rams) Solution: Trade to Panthers (take Claiborne) for 2012: #9, 3rd 2013: 3rd round - is an iffy trade but is possible

1:9 Trade to Bengals (richardson) for 2012: both 1s

1:17 Hightower

1: 22 Konz

2:2 Minnifield

2:4 Dwight Jones

3:1 Poe (if available - if not Ta'amu)

3:9 Brandon Washington

4:1 Derek Wolfe

supp 4: Ryan Miller

5:2 Harrison Smith

6:1 Kellen Moore

7:1 Asa Jackson

Summary:

Colts lose A. Luck but revitalize the D and O-Line. Mathis is probably gone via FA so drafted replacements. How Team Looks w/ starters and picks:

D-Line: Dontari Poe (NT), Antonio Johnson (DT), Nevis (DT), Wolfe (DE), Moala (DE)

LBs: Freeney, Wheeler, Angerer, Hightower, Brackett, Conner, Hughes

Backfield: Powers, Minnifield, Lacey, Bethea, Bullit, Smith, Jackson

O-Line: Costanzo, Miller, Konz (Sat. Retires), Washington, Ijalana

QB: Manning, Moore (is not long-term solution, a backup- get Qb of future with Brown pick next year)

RBs: Brown, Carter, Addai

WR/TE: Wayne, Jones, Collie, Clark, Tamme, (Garcon probably leaves)
