Overall, it's a pretty solid write-up. But these national media reviews are always tainted to me when they mess up on details. He lists the competition at safety, yet doesn't mention Delano Howell, who is the most likely to win the job. Minor nitpick, but whatever.

Yeah, as I said in the opening post, Power Polls are useless. But they give us something to talk about during this dead time. That said, IMO we should be above Baltimore and NO.

BTW, I'm not sure Howell is the likely favorite now that we have Adams.

I think he is. I just rewatched the games he played in, and I like how he finds the ball in a controlled manner and still brings a pop. He can man up reasonably well. To me, the coaching staff has put him in position to start. Still has to perfoem in camp, but I think he's the favorite.

I hope he does well. Pretty small sample size to judge. And he didn't last long as a starter.

We were spoiled with Bethea, he was there every game. Between Howell and Landry, we better have decent backups considering their injury histories.

That may be true, but most of the ravens comments are how they are better than the colts because of these rankings.

All I know is I think the Colts will win the AFC South easily. I do believe the Ravens are greatly improved, but you have to see how the team jells. To be honest, the off season shenanigans of some of the Ravens players worries me.

      Ballard pre-draft presser

      By rockywoj · Posted

      In 2011 Falcons selected WR Julio Jones with 6th overall pick from Cleveland Browns, giving up a package of 5 draft picks … Atlanta's No. 27 overall 2011 1st round pick, their 2012 1st round pick, 2011 2nd & 4th round picks, & a 2012 4th round pick. Ergo, there’s precedence.   I remember at the time thinking Atlanta was crazy to give that much up.  I also remember thinking a couple of years later, Falcons have a star receiver, one of the best in the game, so did giving up so much really matter?   I also remember the hype surrounding a Julio Jones at his time of being drafted, and he was NOT touted as being as sure fire as Marvin Harrison Junior currently is.  Also note, if the Colts trade up, the team dropping down is not dropping down as far as Cleveland did back in 2011 (6 to 27) as compared to, say, 4 to 15, so it might not cost quite as much as Atlanta gave up.   i am inclined to say pull the move up trigger.

      Colts have the 15th pick in the draft. (MERGE)

      Yeah I was unclear on that, my bad. To me there's a difference between total resources and 1st round picks. Meaning we'll have a high end cap hit on the lines typically. But I don't think he's shown he's opposed to drafting any position group in the first

      Here's what I think.  He told us what he's going to do, or at least expecting to do. He said: "We're gonna trade back (three times)"  He loves the OL in the class. (yes, he said you could get one in round three, BUT I expect one higher) Asked about weapons for a young QB: He said,  "protect them. block; keep them safe." Look at all the teams in the playoffs, they can protect. "Andrew used to tell me, "just block for me; I'll do the rest" "Do they want a superstar receiver? YES, but block for me; keep em blocked." Oh yeah, and there's a corollary to that. There are two ways to beat a great QB (offense); one is pass defend, but the other is sacking and disrupting. So, I'm guessing we trade back in the first for more picks; we are just as likely to pick an early round OL, DL as we are a CB or WR.   and with that, I hope we end up with Brock Bowers
