What I Would Have Done Different


Recommended Posts

Overall I like this draft the most since 2012. I would have preferred Bell over Green as being more pro ready but Green does offer a lot of upside, especially with Pagano as a coach. I would have taken Jordan Howard in 4the instead of Morrison and Scooby Wright in the 7th.

I would of strongly considered moving up in the second and losing a fourth to go

Ryan Kelly

Myles Jack

Andrew Billings

 

Billings in the third could be considered a "reach" because he went so late in the fourth, but moving up in the second we lose our fourth rounder so I'd take him there.

 

We lose out on a project OT, but I think Myles Jack is a premier ILB talent that would anchor the defense for the future. Reminds me of Patrick Willis.

I like what you did there. I wouldn't be mad if that were to happen. (Wouldn't want Billings though)

To be fair, the Colts did try to trade up into the early second, just didn't happen. Also for the trade to go through you would be giving up more than a fourth.

So you made a trade that nobody would take and took the UDFAs you wanted without competition. Got it.

Let's all be glad that it's not actually up to any of us.  Armchair QBs are sitting in an armchair instead of the executive office for a reason.

Watch Morrison the undersized slow ILB that lacks insticts play and you may change your mind. That was a terrible pick. It's the only one I have real issue with

 

I would have prefferrd Davis in the 2nd  with the trade down but I understand the thinking on Green. I think it could pay off.

 

Morrison I flat out don't get most places I saw had him as 6-UDFA. There was top 40 talent press CB Robinson from LSU. I would have rolled the dice on him. We had our choice of RB's pass rushing rotational DL. Why trade back if this is the pick

I would have gone:

1) Shaq Lawson

2) Nick Martin

3) Justin Simmons, S, Boston Co.

4) Joe Haeg

5) Tyrone Holmes, OLB, Montana

7) I don't know...maybe, Austin Blythe.  Seems like a really good value.

If that is all the thought you can think of your lame. Your broken record mentality is old and stale.

 

It's not your lame.  It's you're lame.  As in you are lame. 

 

"you're" wrong a lot in this thread

keep chopping wood!

Tell me where have you been positive about much of anything Colts related? Also you were off topic with the thread because of your need to make negative comment. You are more than likely going to be bummed out over the next few years being Grigson and Pagano will be here for a while. Just keep on being negative, it suits you well.

    • Any news on the attempted talks with Blackmon?   Worst case scenario:  we don't sign Blackmon, or any other safety FA, miss out on what few guys there are in this very non-deep safety draft, and wind up going into the season with Cross and Thomas as our best two guys.  Ewwww.
    • My follow up is about what you think is the most cost-efficient way to acquire the needed players to make the defense work as designed.    As to your point about risk, I guess... If you think specific DE prospects just aren't that good, that's one thing. I'm definitely against propping up a prospect just because he plays a position of perceived need. But I would think that if the Colts take a DE at #15, they see him as a potential game changing pass rusher, and the expectation is for him to exceed what the guys on the roster have shown so far. No one can know for sure, but that's the nature of the draft.   At corner, I just think that a fundamental reason why the Colts prefer their zone heavy scheme is because it's easier to find corners who can excel at zone coverage. So there's less of a premium on the position in this scheme, and that's by design. I also don't think the top 4-5 corners in this class fit Ballard's preferred profile. (Side point: This is not conventional thinking, but I think the order of importance in this defense is 3T, Edge, Will, FS, then CB. I think the objective is to take away big plays, funnel routes to the middle, and have rangy playmakers at Will and FS who can create turnovers. I'm not saying that's how I would build a defense, but I think that's the intention. Which also influences my thinking on Ballard's preferences in the draft.)    The scheme element doesn't necessarily apply at WR, but I think the value at WR favors taking one on Day 2, and I think Ballard's appetite for second round WRs is well established. I'd be open to drafting a WR at #15, but I don't think the Colts will do it.   So if I was an oddsmaker, I'd favor the Colts going DE or DT at #15, just based on how I think the top of the draft will fall, and the players available. I think most fans prefer corner or WR, mostly because of perceived need, but I don't see that happening. Nothing would shock me, though.
    • Ballard on Free Agency:   “No doubt we looked into free agency in totality,” Ballard said. “I mean, we looked at everybody. It kind of worked out where it ended up being a lot of our own guys, which are all good players.”
    • I know you're joking, but I hope they do sign an older vet for a year.  They young guys have so little experience, they need guidance.  I was hoping it would have been GIlly or Nelson but there's no noise there.  I think Gilmore may be headed back to Carolina.   I'd rather sign a veteran than spend the first pick on a CB.  It's a crap shoot and we haven't had the best luck.  JuJu has yet to prove himself.     I'm not buying the hype on Mitchell until he starts facing NFL talent.  The MAC isn't exactly a hotbed for WRs.
    • I’ll take Ravens or 49rs. either one is fine with me.
