Locked On Colts - Daily Podcast On The Indianapolis Colts

Our first returning guest to Locked On Colts as Kevin Bowen of 1070 The Fan stops by to analyze the 2019-20 schedule for the Indianapolis Colts, plus some draft quick hitters.

This will be the first time the Colts have consecutive road games to open the season in a decade-plus. The season opener against the Chargers looms as one of the most important games.

Primetime games on the road against the Chiefs, Texans and Saints have led many to ask why no love for Indianapolis in receiving a night game in their own building? Well, Kevin says why would the schedule makers want to have any of these games on primetime? And I agree with him when you realize there's a strong chance they go 8-0.

What are the most underrated games to follow along with this year? Will the Colts finally win the AFC South for the first time since 2014? We answered all of those questions, and more, before going into the draft.

Is Kevin's dream scenario at No. 26 an interior defensive lineman, and is that the same thought for Chris Ballard?

Finally, we close with my pick from the Locked On Podcast Network Mock Draft at No. 26. You might be surprised with the pick, but he's a Ballard type through and through. We also scooped up a great prospect at No. 34 as well.

LOCKED ON COLTS 4/18/19: Ole Miss Playmakers with Zach Berry of Red Cup Rebellion

You've heard about the hype surrounding Ole Miss' four offensive playmakers with three wide receivers (D.K. Metcalf, A.J. Brown and DaMarkus Lodge) and their tight end (Dawson Knox). Zach Berry of SB Nation's Red Cup Rebellion has watched every snap of these players, so we invited him on to discuss Metcalf, Brown, Lodge and Knox.

Kicking things off with a discussion on Metcalf, who Mel Kiper Jr. has going to the Colts at No. 26 in his latest mock draft, Berry believes too many holes are being poked in his game. If he ends up with a coach like Frank Reich, he could be an All-Pro.

Brown has all the swagger you need from a wideout with the production to back it up as well. If he's on the board at No. 34, don't be surprised if Brown ends up in Indianapolis..

Lodge is being slept on, but is arguably the best scheme fit for the Colts. Likely to be selected on Day 3, Lodge could be a bargain for Indianapolis. Berry actually compared Lodge to T.Y. Hilton, and an ideal partner alongside him.

Knox is a name at tight end who has generated plenty of steam lately with his stock now in Round 2-3. Could he be the eventual replacement to Jack Doyle or Eric Ebron if one isn't re-signed. It's a possibility if a tight end is selected by the Colts early, and Knox definitely would be a solid selection.

Familiarize yourself with this group before Thursday's draft. Odds are high one could end up with the Colts, in my opinion.

LOCKED ON COLTS 4/22/19: Frank Clark Rumors + AFC South Breakdown with Matt Williamson of Locked On NFL

Are the Colts going to pull off a draft week stunner by acquiring 25-year-old EDGE rusher Frank Clark from Seattle? According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the Colts and Chiefs are the top suitors for Clark.

First off, is Clark worth the No. 26 pick? Matt and I analyze that before diving into Clark's profile on and off the field. With the Colts' cap space and a connection between Clark and Assistant GM Ed Dodds, Matt believes Indianapolis could have their best pass rush since the Freeney/Mathis days pairing him with Justin Houston.

Being a former scout for Pittsburgh and Cleveland, I asked Matt about traits he looks for in prospects along with how to navigate through smokescreen season.

Finally, we close things out with an AFC South whip around. The Colts are the heavy favorites, but how does Houston, Jacksonville and Tennessee currently stack up?
