With the eighteenth pick in the 2016 Buffalo Rumblings Community Mock, the Indianapolis Colts, and general manager Blown Coverage, have selected Cody Whitehair, offensive lineman from Kansas State. Here's what he had to say about the pick:
This has to be quick because Andrew Luck is holding an actual gun to my head. I flirted with the idea that to even have a prayer in the playoffs, that front seven needs drastic improvement. But Andrew Luck's health is a priority right now, and since Ryan Grigson is incapable of actually using his first round picks on players that can actually play football, much less have any effect on winning games- the task falls to me to clean up the mess.
Josh Docston is tempting, but Cody Whitehair is the guy I have pegged to help the interior of the Colts line. StampedeBlue.com has him as one of the top guys that all Colts fans are hoping is the pick at 18, so that is good enough for me. I was going to go RT, but the editors on there are actually making articles making fun of people mocking Tackles to them. I considered Ryan Kelly, but in the end, Whitehair is the better prospect, though Center is arguably more important than Guard.
