I've seen talk in Colts forums (not just this one) that says the Colts need to stack talent and not just picks. So this mock addresses that strategy. Traded back a few times to get 6 picks in the top 85. Opinions?
26. Adonai Mitchell, WR Texas
54. Trey Benson, RB Florida State
56. Ruke Orhorhoro, DT Clemson
57. Payton Wilson, LB NC State
82. Max Melton, CB Rutgers
85. Will Shipley, RB Clemson
234. Prince Pines, OG Tulane
2025 DAL 6th
Didn't realize I had drafted 2 RBs until done, so, probably wouldn't have done that. But Shipley was the best talent available at that pick. And he is a great receiving RB, which could've helped vs Texans in the last game.
Absolutely... Ballard just is very high on... himself. He likes the guys he has liked before and there is noone that likes his guys like he likes them(thus he's the one resigning them)...
My soccer team is in deep financial trouble and can't afford much of any new signings of substance so when asked by reporters about his roster our coach said "If you can't have what you like, you better like what you have". I feel like that with the Colts. Except there is no financial reason for the Colts to limit themselves like that. It's purely philosophical approach by the GM.
