If you listened to Ballard he explained what he's looking for in a cornerback. He looks for size speed and a history taking the ball away. If you use that criteria here is a list of CB's we are probably looking at. 

Tankersly 6'1 199lbs 9ints

Conley 6' 195lbs 4.44 

Griffin 6 194lbs 4.38 6int's

King 6'3 200lbs 4.43 6 int's

Allen 6'2 215lbs 5int's

Fabian Monreau? Sidney Jones? 

My computer shut off in the middle of the post  Moreau doesn't take the ball away 3 int's. Jones 8int's  I should have included.

 

I'm not a fan of drafting a guy that high with that type of injury. If we could get him with one of the 4ths cool but I'm not feeling a day 2 pick. Everyone acts like because he was projected to be one of the top CB he will be. That wasn't true before the injury. The Achilles scares me. It sucks because Jones was one of my favorite CB's

Fabian missed time, tore his ACL early in his UCLA career and is still is a freak athlete. Amazing size, speed, and a perfect scheme fit. Great in press man with great mirror technique and strong hand usage. Doesn't have the production but has good ball skills.

IF Sidney falls to #46 he seriously have to consider taking him. A torn Achilles is far from a death sentence in this day and age. On top of that Sidney Jones doesn't rely on his athletic ability to be a great corner, he uses his great technique with his feet and hands, his plus arm length, and his instincts that are better then any other corner in this class. Even if he's a step slower, which I honestly doubt with his mentality, he still could be a top 10 CB in this league I really believe that. Then take Griffin or maybe Conley in the 3rd and they play #2 until Sidney comes back. 

I know you want Dorian in the 3rd, Id love that too but I've got to be honest I dont think hell be there. NFL scouts see what you and I see, he's probably gone by the end of the 2nd at the lastest.

I'm just not a fan of a guy who is always hurt. Out 4-6 months again.   Moreau tape I've seen shows potential but he struggles when the balls in the air. I like King Awuzie Tankersly day 2  Then Griffin and H Wilson in the 4th.  Lewis is another guy I like not sure where he's going. 

 

Johnson's name is starting to be tossed around but you never know. We need to trade back at least once.

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

      By ColtStrong2013 · Posted

      I can too. And that will tell us everything we need to know about how the view him. It will tell us their feelings on the tight end room, and what direction they pick from there will tell us even more.    but if they take him at 15, we won’t know much about what might have happened, as they will be landing someone they had rated highly and fell to them.

      Glad that’s over…    if I wanted to argue about it, I would have responded far more in depth than pointing out how you were attempting to gaslight me. I did not. Meaning I was ending my part of whatever the argument was. You “putting a finality to it” and then listing bullet points tells me it was the argument you wanted all along, which makes sense why you brought Grigson up in the first place. Bait, hook, gaslight. Almost got me buddy. You are a funny guy, Doug

      Putting a finality on an argument you want to have.   There is a theory that Ballard won't draft a OL high because ARs injuries were not caused by a poor oline.  I felt it important to note that since Luck's major injuries were also not caused by his oline, Ballard could still want to improve it like he did in 2018 simply because AR is The Franchise. And its important to point that out because there has been a running (false) narrative for about 9 years that Luck's oline was the (main) reason for his injuries that kept him out of games.  The (false) narrative is based upon, IMO, a detest of Grigson, and not reality about the facts (or strong rumors) behind the kidney laceration and snowboarding shoulder. Therefore, mentioning Grigson and the (false) narrative was germain to the point about Ballard possibly drafting Oline high this draft to protect AR. Mentioning Grigson shouldn't trigger a CB vs RG discussion, unless people reading it are gaslighted by their own reading lens.

      Colts offseason discussion / Ballard Grievances (merge)

      That is a very inaccurate description of what happened.  At this point it’s history and doesn’t need to be revisited but I will say Chloe adds value to this board and should be and is by most encouraged to post, even if people don’t always agree with her.

      Ballard pre-draft presser

      My response was in regards to another posted suggesting that the Colts need to get the pick right when it comes to picking a WR. I agree with you .
