Brewers' fans = the worst fans in the league, too bad you had your little window from 2018-2023 to get that Ring, you whiney babies! Couldn't do it. Cubs = 2016 World Champs and we are about to run away with the Division here in 2024. Pirates are coming back down to earth, Reds are good but not better than the Cubs, and the Cards are average.

If he's able to trade back and still get WR Brian Thomas, he'll do it.

NL Central Standings as of April 18th: 1. Brewers 11-6 2. Cubs 11-7 3. Pirates 11-8 4. Reds 9-9 5. Cards 9-10 Cubs only a half game out of 1st, Brewers better celebrate now because their little sweet reign is about to come to an end.

Trade back with Philly, since Isaiah Rodgers suspension wasn't lifted with the other guys today. Whatever that's about? Maybe the league looked at how the NBA handled Porter's gambling and are reevaluating Rodgers? Idk, probably not but seems weird he didn't get removed from suspension list. They might need to come up and get a CB. Thoughts I heard something about Jaguars trading up. Turned out to be just a bunch of hot air. Sorry, couldn't help myself. Lol.

That is exactly what I thought! 😂 I watched him and he reminded me of George Pickens with his personality.

Yes, I was responding to a post about WRs. Just WR hits. Ballard has had a lot of hits at other positions.

sounds like a Steelers WR lol

I have to say I miss the emojis on these posts because the bolded had me laughing. He was highly sought after and turned down jobs. He has also been fairly consistent and hasn't changed his philosophy, his approach was very similar to the chiefs, build through the draft and find a veteran to bridge until you find a rookie you like unfortunately he couldn't find his version of Alex Smith. I'm assuming you are just going off WR hits, because there has been alot of draft hits.

these things will be factored no doubt. we all know Ballard places high emphasis on character when drafting.

Interesting. Sounds like a maturity issue as much as anything. That can change once you see how a professional works/work with Reggie Wayne (the epitome of a pro).

Dang. Yeah, I didn't see this before my last post. Yeah, this absolutely matches what you see on the tape. Takes plays off if he doesn't think he's getting the ball. I'm not sure if he's a team first guy.

I was very high on BTJ early, but he terrifies me the more I watch him. Crazy potential, but is a one trick pony, and you have to be certain you can develop him. I would prefer Adonai at this point, but he absolutely takes plays off during runs or if he doesn't think he's getting the ball. I don't think Ballard will think he matches the culture.

For all those on the Adonai Mitchell train. @chad72posted this in the NFL draft section https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/steelers-possible-draft-target-adonai-mitchell-gets-exposed-by-scouts-for-attitude-and-health-concerns-he-s-rude-he-s-abrasive/ar-BB1lOsjW?ocid=entnewsntp&pc=U531&cvid=5baf893246f047e1a46edd25c851c1f7&ei=24

I would really like us to sign Cooper, I don't have confidence in Franklin and Speeds ability to cover which Cooper is a true 3 down LB while Franklin and Speed should be off the field on 3rd downs

I say round one , you say round 2 or round 3 . We shall see said the duck

I agree. In a normal draft that doesn’t have such a deep group of top WRs, BTJ and Mitchell would be picked much higher in the first round. They are both outstanding prospects. Which is why you can get a great receiver by waiting and not making a desperate trade up. I don’t see Ballard making such a move. If anything, he trades down slightly in the first round and gets another decent Day 2 pick. But that said, either BTJ or Mitchell would be terrific additions to the Colts.

Well, it's not that we would do much worse than him..cough cough. He is below 500 over 7 years. I'm just saying.

Trade up for D player.

I listened to the Micheal Lombardi show today. I have said my liking of Mitchell and more recently, Latu before listening to his podcast.. It was today's podcast, so I am no mirroring what he said. He thinks Mitchell is a top 10 pick and likes Latu over Turner but it's the medical for Latu. I would love Colts to make a move for either. This is the year lol.

Nope it isn't. But I screamed for years during the draft. U had Mathis and Freemey. I wanted that 3 tech. I thought if Polian had gotten that guy, we would have been unbeatable. I was all for going all in and making a splash trade. They finally got Simon and look how the D looked, and then they got Booger. I thought those moves should have been made years before they happened.

yeah I don’t quite understand all the talk about moving up. Brian Thomas Jr and Adonai Mitchell are about as intriguing to me where we sit in the draft versus giving up capital for a few guys they *may* be better. If we are moving up, I would hope it would be for Marvin and they are damn sure plus have the full encouragement from the big boss to do so. I don’t see it. I think people will be surprised if we don’t pick a receiver, but I’m not sure we will 1st round.

Seriously…. To move up for Nabors it’ll cost much more than a 3 and a Day Three pick. That offer was to move up a little. To move up as far as Nabors, the compensation would be much more expensive. Like a 2 and a 4, and maybe a future pick. Which you may be willing to do. But I seriously doubt Ballard and Steichen would go that far.

Pittman is the only definite hit Ballard has had since being the GM. When Downs and Pierce are maybe, and they're the next best thing, that's not a ringing endorsement. IMO, we'll take a WR in the first two days again. Probably round 2.

If I were to make a bet it would be on DL, but that's just based on odds. Don't see any value though. I only see one corner they'd take, a WR or TE likely only if we move up which I think is more likely this year than most but not enough with the odds.

Pittman is a damn good wr. I don't care what anyone says. The dude moves the chains no matter who the qb is. We don't know about downs yet. I'm much higher on Pierce than most. What GM has been great at drafting pass rushers? When was their pick?
