    I don't see them taking another RB in the first round and essentially saying the pick of Leshoure was a waste last year. They need some help in the OL which would be better for the run game than taking another RB, IMO. I hope they take an OT in the first round and go from there.

    I think it depends on what they do in free agency and what player is available when they draft. I could see them taking an O Lineman, defensive end, or a guy for the secondary.

    Yep, CB and OL, we need some freaking run blockers if we want the chance to play in the Superbowl.

  • Damnit the Colts won. Good news is the Rams wouldn't draft Luck but would most likely trade the pick. Minnesota should win against the skins or Bears so the Colts may still get it but they play the Jags next week. Man i would be really disappointed if the Colts don't get Luck. Matt Kalil would solve a lot of problems though so it may not be that bad. Stick with Peyton for one more year and grab a QB next year such as Matt Barkley or Landry Jones. Wouldn't be a smart move to grab RGIII because he isn't worth the #1 or #2 pick.

    I don't think the Colts will keep that pick. They have far too many needs. They're an old team. With the cap on rookie salaries now, that pick is awfully attractive, and they'll great some great offers for it. Trade it to my Skins, we'll gladly overpay for it.

    I like the Rams so the Colts winning was the best thing that could have happened.

    I think the Colts keep it and take Luck. They went 12-4 in '06, 13-3 in '07, 12-4 in '08, 14-2 in '09, and 10-6 in '10 which was an overall record of 61-19 over a 5 year period. With Manning out this year they are 2-13. Almost as many losses this year as the last 5 years combined because of one player.

    You need a great QB to win in this league, just look at the most recent super bowl winners (Brady, Rodgers, Brees, Peyton, Eli, Roethlisberger) as example. There were a couple anomolies with Tamp (Brad Johnson) and Baltimore (Dilfer), but they both had amazing defenses those seasons. Before that it was Warner, Elway, Favre, Aikman, Young (or really Elivs Grbac), etc.

    If they are sitting at #1 with a chance to take Luck and give him a year or two to learn from Manning, it's their best chance to stay at the top.

    I think they will keep the pick if they can get Matt Kalil. If they can't they trade down with the Browns (I believe they have 2 1st round picks from the trade they made with Atlanta last year) so they could grab RGIII or Riley Reiff with the first pick in the 6-10 pick range. Then with their second pick in the 24-28 pick range they grab Jarvis Jones or Alshon Jeffery depending on who they pick with the first pick.

    Would the Rams grab Andrew Luck with the pick or trade it?

    No way would they take another QB. They need help on their OL, and maybe a WR.

    yeah and i wonder if Minnesota would take Luck after they just used the #7 overall last year on Ponder.

    Zactly! You HAVE to take Andrew Luck if you're the Colts.

    Of course they will pick Andrew Luck with the 1st overall pick, but they have to have it first. The Colts owner made a statement last night on NFL network stating that Peyton will be on the Colts next year if he is healthy and will take a QB in the draft

    I say no there as well.

    Agree completely. Luck will be real good if he gets to sit and learn from 4-Time NFL MVP Peyton Manning. Though they will have to change their offense for Luck IMO. They will be running more I-Form than Shotgun than they do with Peyton and probably less no huddle.

    Different styles of QBs but both, very good at what they do.

    If the Rams get the #1 pick I say trade it and get a lot of top picks if they get #2 or #3 I hope they take Justin Blackmon

    Blackman is good but he isn't elite. They should draft Kalil and trade up into the later half of the first round and grab Alshon Jeffery or Michael Floyd
