Colts select Braden Smith OG at 37

[danlhart87]

Keep it up Ballard build the trenches 

[Colts Hippie]

I love it!!!!! Build from the inside out.

[BProland85]

Again another player I really like on the OL who can be a great OG or possibly RT, I just thought we could have gotten him a little later in the 2nd. 

[JColts72]

Better players were there.

[HectorRoberts]

Just one hole on the line left to fill! Luck must be feeling lucky right now

[throwing BBZ]

I told you so.

[azcolt]

Another GM who tries to be clever and reaches way down the board. Love the first round pick but these two are head scratchers for so high in second round.

[Indy Fan]

Darius Leonard okay sounds good. Another guard ehhhh we have so many holes atm.

No head scratchers at all.

Most of which you will find leading directly through the oline to our franchise QB.

Have you ever, once in your time on this board posted anything remotely positive?  
 

Are you this dour in real life or just playing a role on the boards?

[Scott Pennock]

Not a sexy pick but he adds another nasty finisher.

 

The competition in that position group just got VERY interesting!

For you to know this to be true, you have to have had a peek at their board.  

 

I'm guessing you have not.

He played very well in the SEC can get a little high at times but he is going to be a great fit for us. I don't think he was a reach and it finally seems like Luck will be able to step up in the pocket and make some throws.

Castonzo, Nelson, and Kelly we’ve already invested enough high end picks on the line. O and Mewhort is coming back too.  A new OC should also do wonders since Chuck was super predictable.

[Scott Pennock]

For those poo pooing already.....he was rated as THE BEST blocker in the SEC. You can't complain about Luck always being hurt but whine about adding TWO STUDS to the oline to protect him!

No, are u the thought polics here?

 Just because i dont drink the colt everthing is great kool aid does not make me less of a fan since 1972 bub. Why don't u say same about other fans who have an objevtive opinion. And don't  question how I am. You don't know me ok.

 

 

 

 

[Gigc]

This dude is terrific. Just go watch some tape on him. he absolutely should be great for us. I was hoping we could get him. SEC blocker of the year.

[jet1968]

Good pick. Games are won in the trenches 

[Indy Fan]

Well I guess it’s starting to make sense with the defenses in the AFC South now. Titans just grabbed Landry too so our line better put it all together.

You can't invest too much in protecting Andrew Luck.

run right at him i like Landry don't get me wrong but he fell because of the production concerns in 17 which he was coming off that ankle injury. I've seen him get destroyed by that ND Offensive line.

I'm fine overinvesting in the Oline, especially since, like you said, the AFC is loaded on defense. Imagine what it will be like once we can stop worrying about Luck's health for the next five years and start focusing on the rest of the team.

[Fisticuffs111]

This guys a good talent. I wouldn’t have minded going elsewhere but now we should have a really good line, or at least we better.

 

We’re giving DeGugs a lot of talent.

A predictable response - not drinking the kool aid.  Figured it would be that or keeping it real. Also, if you'll note I said nothing about your fandom.  Just noticed the constant barrage of negativity.

 

Would please @me the next time you do have a positive thought about something Colts related.  I would like to see it for myself.

[fatboy]

I’m not sure if Mewhort will ever be healthy; another addition to Oline is in order.  We clearly need ILB now.

[Indyfan4life]

More complaining from those who constantly talk about needing to protect Luck. 

 

Logic.

 laughable.    Who would you have chosen over the ones that were taken?

Hey track every fan who does not agree with u- your colts lordship.

 

 

 

 

 

[DougDew]

I have not cared for his two first round draft choices.  I feel like he simply could have gotten more out of the picks.  

 

The rest of the picks last year were solid except the one I hated at the time, Zach Banner.

 

Leonard and Smith are really good picks for what we need, our schemes, and value.

Landry and Jackson.

He was the next best G available.  I watched him a lot down here in Bama, he’s a brawler.

 

I’m all for protecting the Franchise, even if some consider it a reach.  

[Mel Kiper's Hair]

I think Chris Ballard could draft Jesus and someone on this board would complain that his 40 time walking on the water was too slow.

Harold landry? Titans picked him up

both are gone. Landry is a Titan. Still Isaiah Oliver and Carlton Davis on the board. Both would be nice
