On the clock: Indianapolis Colts, Pick: 7.48 |
| Pick | Overall | Choice | Notes | |
| 1.16 | 16 | Sheldon Richardson, DT from Missouri | Originally we had the 3rd overall pick. My scouting department wanted Richardson at that spot over the other defensive tackles. We made a trade with Miami to get their 12th and 42nd pick this year along with their 1st and 3rd rounder next year. As we were getting ready to pick the Rams offered us two first rounders for our 12th pick as well as our 2nd and 3rd rounder. We decided to take it. We basically got 3 first rounders and a 3rd rounder for our 3rd and 66th pick. Richardson was our guy and we were still able to get him. | |
| 1.22 | 22 | Xavier Rhodes, CB from Florida State | When we moved to the 12th spot we debated on taking Richardson or Rhodes. We ended up traded the 12th and two other picks to get the 16th and 22nd. We were fortunate enough to pick up both Richardson and Rhodes. That is big for us because we won't be picking again until pick 100. | |
| 1.31 | 31 | Alex Okafor, DE from Texas | We came into this drafting hoping to add more picks. We also wanted to find several guys that can come in and compete for a starting spot right away. Our defensive line needs some help and we feel we did well in picking Sheldon Richardson to play in the middle and drafting Alex Okafor to play on the outside. Not only were we able to find two likely starters along the defensive line, but we also picked up a big physical corner back in Xavier Rhodes. We feel like we have already done some quality work in the draft. While most GMs are hoping to find starters in the later rounds, we were able to make a few moves and find three key players for our defense. | |
| 4.03 | 100 | Dallas Thomas, OT from Tennessee | I liked Thomas a lot and this was a pick my team didn't exactly like. However in my opinion Thomas is a top 50 guy who can come in and compete at Right Tackle right away or move to guard and excel as well. We need more depth, youth and competition on our offensive line and Thomas will make a great addition. When you can get a top 50 guy with pick 100 it's never a bad thing. | |
| 6.37 | 205 | Landry Jones, QB from Oklahoma | Here we are sitting at pick No. 205 and I'm a little surprised Landry Jones is still on the board. At this point in the draft I think Jones is a great pick up. He can come in and compete for a spot on the team. We need another arm in camp and we'll gladly use pick 205 for Jones. Let's hope Bill Polian is right about him. | |
| 7.03 | 209 | Jawan Jamison, RB from Rutgers | We need to add some depth at the running back position. Jawan is an interesting prospect that can provide a spark for us on offense. |
