I think I saw a tumbleweed roll across the forum earlier. This time is interesting because of the possibilities and the calm before the draft.

 

My favorite movies is Star Trek II so there is something to debate lol

 

seriously, I think this is going to be one of the most anticipated drafts since 2012 we have added a lot of "B" players that may come into their own or not. We are getting younger for sure though and I am very anxious about what Ballard comes up with over that weekend.

Tbh, I haven't followed the draft much in the past but I have looked at a lot of mocks this year. I actually see names that I recognize and I have an idea who I think we should choose but I'm probably way off. Anyway, I am really excited about this draft and what it could mean to the COLTS. :rock:

Wasn't Star Trek II labeled the Wrath of Khan? My uncle's wife bought a Miniature Pincher years ago and named it Rascal. So when I would visit them I would always call it the RASC of KHAN because that little 7 pound dog would try and bite your finger off if you put it out there lmao

I tend to research players after the colts select them. Sometimes our colts choose people I never heard of. Obviously you hear a lot of names and learn a lot before the draft. But it's mainly hype until draft is over. 

I've taken this route as well. I was looking at alot of guys last year then the only one we grabbed that I looked at outside of Kelly was Green. I'll just save some time this year and wait lol

I was also making fun as this thread was no doubt turned into  a lightweight.

Ehhh.. you tried. There's just not much more to talk about right now. We've pretty much beaten everything to death. April 27 can't get here quick enough to spice the board up again.

The original Godfather and Patton are two very good movies.  They are from back in the 70s.

Haha, what a coincidence! I'm watching The Godfather on AMC. Because things have slowwwwwed to a crawl on the board, I've not been as active, so I was just catching up on some posts and read your post as I'm watching Don Corleone survive five.

 

For real, this time before the Draft (after pro days) is like this hazed-filled purgatory where no one knows where they'll go and the information stream just cease, except for mock drafts. Without Draft prospect activities (Senior Bowl, the Combine, Pro Day, visits, etc.), there is only speculation left to entertain the waiting minds and posters have to get creative to fill the time.

 

What gets me laughing during this purgatory are all the Mock Drafts posted by professionals during this time, cause they seem to get more varied as they collect more information on prospects. So it goes to show that NO ONE knows whats going to happen on that weekend since there are at least 32 opinions that matter and NO ONE person understands them all. -One would have a better chance winning the Powerball & picking a flawless NCAA Bracket vs. predicting the NFL Draft with all it trades and pontification.

I'm left to reading WalterFootball only because they change their mocks every three days for no reason that I can figure.  At least its an update.

I've passed some time drafting on Fanspeak with various boards, being AMAZED at where they have prospects going, then I seek out those websites to see why? or what made them rate their grades.

 

Some of it looks like it's done without reason. But everybody has an opinion... until they get hit in between the white stripes.

But I also think this draft is weird in that there are a lot of good players who are probably in the 15 to 80 range depending upon how severe you judge their strengths and weaknesses, so its no surprise that mock drafts this year can look different from site to site.

It looks like I'll miss out on watching the draft this year unless it rains, stinks too because I've been watching a ton of tape on players. I'm not one that does mock drafts. This year especially since there's gunna be alot of good players around where we are picking
