Another day, another mock

1/22 Derek Sherrod T Mississippi State

I love this kid and think the Colts should jump at the chance to draft him. A top pass blocker, a willing downfield blocker and a great guy.

2/53 DeMarco Murray HB Oklahoma State

The Colts need a halfback who is a threat to score from anywhere on the field. There are a number of good one’s available – like Kendall Hunter and Jacquizz Rodgers – but Murray offers better receiving and blocking skills and legitimate 4.37 speed. He’s also a solid citizen.

3/87 Da’Norris Searcy SS North Carolina

Over the years the Colts have relied on safeties to stuff the run and Searcy can protect the line of scrimmage with the best of them and has excellent coverage ability and hands. Despite not possessing great straight-line speed, Searcy has been a very successful kick and punt returner in college.

4/119 Ricky Stanzi QB Iowa

Great kid, the type coaches think they can turn into a star. Polian knows better, but will make the pick anyway, knowing that Stanzi is in all likelihood a career backup.

5/152 Willie Smith T East Carolina

Incredible, off the charts athleticism and ability, but just seems to play down to his competition. Has a chance to be a top-notch NFL starter. Don’t blame his work ethic, he’s nearly completed a second degree.

6/188 Frank Kearse DT Alabama A&M

Another top student/solid citizen-type, but this one is a huge blocker eater. He needs lots of refinement, but “Big Spoon” could get a chance to develop in Indy.
