What are you on about? They talked to him at the combine, I think a scout also talked to him earlier. And Chris Ballard had tons of questions on his medical status, go listen to Ballard’s press conf.

Hard to tell. IMO it's close, but I really do think we need to give AR more help, so if it's close... go with WR.

I’m concerned that they never even talked to this guy. Makes me wonder just how thorough they were on his medical Yes. Paye is just fine. Now with Latu lining up opposite of Paye, look for teams to funnel away from Latu and right into Payes hands. Interesting. Too blurry, what’s it say Well looks like Ballard pleased Jared this time

We tried. It’s been reported we were the highest bidders on at least two FA players and lost both

Would you rather have a top rated safety/linebacker or the 10th rated receiver? With how many receivers flew off the board, the value there gets pushed back until the 4th/5th. I was hoping for a good one to fall but knew better because the top 7 or 8 are really talented. I don’t know how we go into the season with what that WR group. It needs something at some point.

Agreed on Roman. He's faster than Downs though, but doesn't get separated as often. I wonder if AD is off the board because of character and Ladd is off because of injuries. I'd be okay with Franklin. If Burton is cleared character wise, he's the best WR available. Might be #4 WR in this draft, but his character concerns are massive. I loved Tez, but completely fell off after the Senior Bowl. He terrifies me now. I'm seeing Denzel Mims, and I LOVED Denzel. I don't want to make the same mistake again.

So who are we picking today?

Who are they?

Yeah, it's possible it gets depleted and it seems like we are in the middle of a run right now... but keep in mind that projections are that there might be about 17-20 WRs taken in the first 3 rounds. The position is truly deep in this class! I think we will get a good prospect either way. True... it won't be one of the top tier guys(most likely, unless AD drops?), but still.

Maybe that’s the case most years but you had 7 Wr’s go off the board in rd 1. Maybe a couple more before 49. To me that’s a big drop off. This year is different because you had so many runs at the position. Just look at the best available, most are OL or defense. That’s because the talent pool at receiver got hammered in Rd 1.

This is not who I would pick but rather who I expect the Colts to be interested in from the remaining players: - Cooper DeJean - AD Mitchell - Troy Franklin - Kool-Aid McKinstry - Edgerrin Cooper - Jaden Hicks - Jackson Powers-Johnson (!!!) - Ennis Rakestraw Jr - TJ Tampa

I think he just says these things to appease the fan base at this point. Seems like every time something big is expensive expected he has some excuse. I’m not really upset about not picking the player I wanted. I think he could’ve traded down a few spots and got Latu. Was hoping for a Rd 2 Wr but that river is dry.

Good call on your EDGE guesses. But wouldn't Turner have been our better pick? Are you comfortable with Latu?

Cooper DeJean Kool-Aid Adonai Mitchell Xavier Legette Keon Coleman Tyler Nubin

Wilson IMO is too much like Downs. Not sure we would want to pick another predominantly slot player. IMO the players that make the most sense at WR are - AD Mitchell, Ladd(he again plays a bit of slot, but he's also a bit more versatile, he's played about 75% of his snaps in other alignments), Troy Franklin - he can be a Z for us... Jermaine Burton?!? if he's cleared character-wise?? I like Malik Washington but he's predominantly slot too so not sure he's a fit here. BTW... this guy is projected as a day 3 pick... but because of the general lack of that type of player after Troy Franklin(fast Z) I can see him being pushed up... maybe get drafted mid-late R3 - he's like budget version of Xavier Worthy- Anthony Gould. Maybe DeVontez Walker? Although he had such a bad Senior Bowl, I'd be surprised if Ballard goes for him.

While having 6 QBs go in the first 12 picks pushed some talent towards us... it probably also contributed to it being extremely hard for Ballard to trade up. It's just way too hard to make teams move away from QBs or to outbid teams who are bidding for their QB. I think 5 was probably our best chance for trade up... Arizona reportedly completely shut down any offers - they just wanted MHJ and they took him. 5 was probably our best chance, but it probably was way too steep of a price. Giants probably didn't want to move from Nabers, division rival Titans not great trade partner, Atlanta... wanted a freaking QB for some reason?!?!? Then Bears got their dream player drop to them and IMO that was probably the last chance we had.

I wouldn't mind if we traded up early if we picked one of these three players: 1. Texas A&M LB Edgerrin Cooper 2. Iowa CB Cooper DeJean 3. Texas WR Adonai Mitchell

Round 2/3 Wishlist 1. Texas A&M LB Edgerrin Cooper 2. Iowa CB Cooper DeJean 3. Texas WR Adonai Mitchell 4. Rutgers CB Max Melton 5. Michigan LB Junior Colson 6. Western Kentucky WR Malachi Corley 7. Minnesota S Tyler Nubin 8. Iowa State CB T.J. Tampa 9.Oregon WR Troy Franklin

Finally CB drafted a Edge with production, not only high RAS. But then it's a guy with big injury concerns. Anyway....any player can get a serious injury on any given play. So, welcome to Indy! Give everything you have on the field and stay healthy! Gotta find a DB and WR in round 2. Think DeJean is still on the board?! Round 2 is probably where his value is.

Hill has been replaced.....worthy is rice's replacement

"Need two to tango." That's why you dabble in free agency occasionally, Chris, because, you know, you can't do everything in the draft.

For round 2 TJ Tampa, CB Edgerrin Cooper LB Max Melton CB This WR class is very talented I would wait until round 3 for WR

I thought this was the most obvious lock it up pick for Ballard. Polianesque pick. if he was available at 15 he was taking him. I actually thought he would go top 10. steal of the draft

Paye hasnt even had a year 4 yet. His first 3 years are WAY better than Hendricksons first 3 years.
