Absolutely everyone has Ayton going #1.  What has he done?  I watched Purdue destroy Arizona.  Haarms destroyed Ayton.  I also saw him in the tournament.  He did nothing.  No impact on the game at all.  Half the time he was near the 3 point line.  Has anyone ever seen this guy dominate?  I also see Mikal Bridges from Villanova going in the top ten.  I don't watch them much, but in the tournament games I noticed Brunson, Spellman, Paschall, and of course Divincenzo went nuts.  I never noticed Bridges.  Is Miles Bridges from the Sparties a lottery pick?  It just seems this draft is super weak at the top.  Ayton #1 is truly mystifying.

Wow....you watch very little college basketball. It’s like my favorite thing to watch and cable has like a million channels showing games all over the country. Both those guys are legit lottery picks. You literally took a college freshman’s first game and judged his whole career based on it against a seasoned senior. Id compare Ayton to a young Olajuwon with a 3 pointer. Then you took like the last game of the season to judge another. Although I will admit Villanova is loaded with talent. I don’t know who you follow but these kids were legit all Americans and have huge upsides. I’m not sure Ayton goes number 1 but he is a top 5 pick and would be basically any year. What teams have you been watching because you missed a lot of great college basketball this year it seems.

I mostly watched the tournament and Purdue games, but someone who did catch my eye was Bates-Diop.  He could completely neutralize stretch 4's.  He'd be tough in the paint, and he plays smart. 

Yeah Diop could be a late lottery pick. I think bigs that stretch the defense and 3&d guys will be the big focus. So Ayton, Bamba, Carter Jr., and Bagley and both Bridges...Knox...Trey  Young and a couple foreign guys will be named to watch. Big Ten was down this year so not a lot of talent I’d say outside Diop, Jackson and Bridges. Ayton might go #1 but mostly because the Suns likely will have the top pick and they are good at guard position with Booker and Jackson at Sf so a big makes most sense.

      Ballard pre-draft presser

      By Stephen · Posted

      I think odunze, Harrison,  and nabors are all better than pittman that's for sure and there there are several  wrs better than pierce as well as well as many corners that are better  than what we have.

      Sure alot can get a 1000 yards, but what makes wrs elite are the ones who score alot and catch first downs. Colts don't have a wr on the roster that scores alot. Pittman is a wr 2 in my opinion. Pierce a wr 4 with wr 2 potential. Downs wr 2/3. Neither one of those guys are marvin Harrison  or Reggie Wayne. None of our safeties are Bob sanders. None of our edge rushers are freeney or Mathis. No Nick harpers, Kelvin Hayden, marlin Jackson, or vontaome Davis at cb So we can stand to improve  at wr, s, pass rush,and cb. We have alot of solid  guys sprinkled across the roster but very few I'd consider  elite. Buckner, Nelson, and a healthy Taylor  are among the elite. That is why I'm hoping for a game changing player in the first round. Most rookie corners aren't  that.

      Two relevant points.   Regarding the team ALWAYS going to be run first team, RB shelf life is short and JT has already played a lot of years compared to average peak time for RBs, so there aren't many years in him into the future unless he goes on like Adrian Peterson. This team was run first because QBs weren't good, was it run first with Andrew Luck? I don't think this team is going to be run-first offense ALWAYS, especially after drafting AR, while expecting him to grow to be a franchise QB-level passer.   Yes, it's all true that Jefferson got drafted at 22,Ceedee went 17, Juedy went 15 , Aiyuk 25 and Higgins 33 but GM has gotta pick the right guy at right time and other teams shouldn't get to the right guy before Colts do.   For every Jefferson at #22 example, there's a Jalen Reagor at #21. The toughest part in picking Jefferson at #22 is not picking a bust like Reagor and missing out on Jefferson. As you go away from the top of the Draft, hitting on busts is more likely than exactly drafting the perfect right guy. Drafting isn't that easy, without the help of hindsight.    Right now, We can't name which of the WRs in upcoming draft will be a good value, good return pick, even though this draft class is super, super deep on WRs. Of course, 4 years later in 2028, everyone can point out Jefferson or Higgins or Lamb or Aiyuk of 2024 WR Draft Class.
