WCG Mock Draft - The Indianapolis Colts Select...

ANALYSIS: Over the years, the Colts have made pretty well known the way they approach the first round on draft day. For this season, all signs point to wide receiver. Defensive tackle is a major weakness, but when hasn’t it been for the Colts? Ziggy Hood is a possibility, but I don’t think they’ll go that direction. Tight ends Shawn Nelson and Jared Cook both fit the Colts mold and would make nice eventual replacements for Dallas Clark while also letting them set up in their two tight end sets. I see them as definite possibilities here, especially if they don’t feel either will last till the second round. But I think the cutting of Marvin Harrison means that they have someone they’re eyeing in the draft. For some reason, I think it’s Harvin. Harvin isn’t the conventional type of player the Colts take, but paired with the smartest quarterback in the NFL, he gives them a huge big-play threat. He might not ever develop into a number one receiver, but playing for the Colts, they’ll be able to get him the ball in a variety of situations and utilize his strengths. |

What about Gonzo?
Harvin will most likely be a slot WR.

He will be...
A utility type guy, maybe a cheaper Hester version.
Payton would love to throw to him though. But doubt he will be a Colt.

Not happening
Absolutely no way Percy Harvin is a Colt. The Colts value character on the same level as talent, and Harvin is a very sketchy character. The pot issue is a big knock against him, and if you recall the Colts CUT their best DT last year because he was busted with pot.

Look at our draft thus far
Who are you taking if you’re Polian?

I disagree
I think that’s a myth. The Colts have had brought on a number of shady characters through the Dungy years. The most striking would be Dominic Rhodes, who had a long history of domestic violence even before the team brought him back a second time. But they also had Darrell Reid, Cato June, Kenton Keith, and Montae Reagor arrested in the past few years while wearing horseshoes – in addition to Ed Johnson, whom you mentioned. That’s a pretty decent list for a team that values character as much as talent, and I’d bet there are some others I’m missing.
Harvin’s drug test is certainly a red flag, but I don’t think it disqualifies him by any means. I think it’s very realistic that Polian looks at Wayne, Manning, and Clark as role models who would keep Harvin in line. But more than that, I just don’t see anyone else at receiver who makes sense for the Colts. Most of them are limited upside, more possession type receivers in the Gonzales mold whereas Harvin is probably the most dynamic player in the draft.
That said, I’m also interested in who your money is on the Colts taking.
