Tonight was the way-too-early-post-bowl-games-pre-Super-Bowl live mock over at Mocking the Draft and I was the Colts rep for our single pick. What started out as a one-round mock became a two-rounder, not that it impacted me at all. No trades were allowed.

I've been doing live mocks for a while now, and I approach with the same strategy a good GM uses: where need meets value and refuse to make up my mind on a pick or position until I'm on the clock. But, if a player of such immense value presents himself, I'm not going to shy away from him unless it is a quarterback. I also made absolutely NO considerations about who gets signed in free agency and didn't let any of those speculations influence my decisions.

Without further ado, here are the results:

It should make JZP feel better that there are those who agree with him. That's the beauty of a live mock, just like the real draft people do things you don't expect. Tyler Wilson going first overall and Ryan Nassib going 8th overall pushed a lot of players down.

I know most everyone wanted an offensive linemen. Lewan and Matthews returning for their senior years thinned out the tackle class and pushed Fisher up higher than he provides value. Aboushi is a good prospect (and one I considered), but I need to see him go up against the elite rushers in the Senior Bowl before I'm willing to move him into the first round. I also need to see more of Lane Johnson, especially since he only has two years of starting experience Chance Warmack went long before the pick, as did Barrett Jones on a reach from the Cowboys. Jonathan Cooper was available, but his injury history troubles me and while he provided value, it wasn't as great as Allen's value, especially with guys like Alvin Bailey, Travis Frederick, Gabe Jackson, and Omogorie Uzzi all likely available in the third round, not to mention tackles like Brian Winters, Ricky Wagner, Brennan Williams who could all take over for Winston Justice on the right side.

Unfortunately, all the value in the defensive backfield was also taken. My favorite corner prospect, Jonathan Banks, went early (I don't think Dee Milliner will live up to his draft position). Xavier Rhodes, the other corner I'd consider in the first, went a few picks ahead. Kenny Vaccaro, my favorite safety, suffered the same fate. I know some here have advocated for Matt Elam, but I'm not fond his size. Further, I think he'll be a factory for personal foul calls and fines in the next level unless he can display more discipline. 24 would have been a major reach for Eric Reid. Again, there is likely some safety value in the third, especially Shawne Williams, TJ Macdonald, Robert Lester, Duke Williams, and Phillip Thomas.

This is a good draft for pass rushers, but unfortunately the best were long gone even though they fell. The only pass rusher I like in the area the Colts will be picking was Ansah, and he was long gone. Sam Montgomery has some major hips issues, he is far too stiff, and lacks the ability to quickly change direction. Between Montgomery or Jerry Hughes for the role of third rusher, I'd rather have Jerry Hughes (who I saw dramatic improvement from this year). There are some decent mid-round pass rushers like Sean Porter, Travis Long, Chase Thomas, and Trevardo Williams.

In the end, I took Keenan Allen because he provided the best value, better than Montgomery, Cooper, Aboushi, or Elam. Allen is the best receiver in the class and the 12th overall prospect according to CBS. While Allen does not have take-the-top-off high end speed, he has excellent short-area quickness. Allen has excellent balance and agility and the ability to take a short-gain and get the ever-valuable YAC. Allen is a hand-catcher and plucks the ball at its crest more often than not. Allen is experience and fluid in his routes and isn't afraid to go over the middle. Allen is also and able and willing blocker in the run game.
