The issue seems to be that you don’t understand our many deficiencies on D, and how effective Steichen will use the many weapons he has on offense with another season of experience. We desperately need those picks to improve the TEAM.

To add to this, I just did my 2nd version of a mock draft where I took EDGE first round. Check it out if you are interested!

I am with you, I would be happy with best DL at 15, but also happy with WR / CB

Now that I've made all my picks for the Gavin Mock draft this year, I'm going to do my 2nd version of a mock draft for the Colts. This one will be a bit different than the first. There will still be no trades in this one (I will do trades in my final installment), but I will be drafting a different variation of what I think Ballard may do. Round 1.) Laiatu Latu, EDGE, UCLA Round 2.) Ricky Pearsall, WR, Florida Round 3.) Cam Hart, CB, Notre Dame Round 4.) Audric Estime, RB, Notre Dame Round 5.) Malik Mustapha, S, Wake Forest Round 6.) Dylan McMahon, IOL, North Carolina State Round 7.) Jordan McGee, LB, Temple So I'm feeling that Ballard may go EDGE in the first round possibly with the dropoff after the first round. Latu has the best combination of athleticism and performance IMO, and despite the injury concerns, I feel Ballard may go for him at 15. Pearsall played with Richardson in Florida for a year, and I actually like him a lot anyway, could be a target in the 2nd round. Cam Hart has the measurables that Ballard likes and could start right away. Estime has the potential to be the top RB in this draft IMO. Mustapha is a nice sleeper S in this class, and since no one really separates a ton, he's a good get in the 5th round. McMahon can be a backup C for Kelly this year, and take over as soon as next year IMO. Finally McGee is a nice lottery ticket at LB that has a solid RAS score. He could be the next Zaire Franklin in a couple years and provides good depth.

Aiyuk is awesome, but I am wondering if we would have so much of our cash tied to one position (WR)

I'm actually leaning towards Ballard going EDGE in the first round more and more now. Besides Marshawn Kneeland, there doesn't seem to be any top EDGE rushers outside the first round. I could see Ballard going Latu or Verse at 15. Then he grabs a WR and CB in either order in the 2nd and 3rd round.

I honestly believe Ballard could have $100 million in salary cap more than every other team, and he still wouldn't spend in FA. He'd find a way to pay his own more or make a big trade or two and pay a guy he'd like on another team like Buckner. It'll just never happen. He thought AR was the best player in the draft last year, we drafted him at 4, and the following year in FA, Ballard just re-signed his own besides two FAs that were mid card guys and decided to run a mulligan. Ballard will never be a spender in FA.

I’m thinking we go WR back to back in rounds 1 & 2. Maybe Bowers if he’s still there. Just a feeling after hearing so much about the colts bringing in a bunch of WRs for visits. And in a deep WR draft, I’d do that in a heartbeat.

You're here talking about it

jerseys sold out in an hour.

It is and it sets the field for a potentially more active FA next year IF AR15 pans out

I do think MHJ isn’t making it past the Giants.

is this worth talking about

Buckner is probably my favorite Colt right now, so I’m ecstatic about this. I know we didn’t do a lot of external work in free agency, but keeping pretty much everyone and also giving extensions to our own guys is huge. -Resigned Pitt -Resigned Grover -Resigned Kenny -Resigned Tyquan Lewis -Resigned Sanchez -Resigned Ronnie Harrison Jr. -Resigned Pinter -Resigned Blackmon -Extended Zaire -Extended Buckner -Extended JT Those are all impact players that we have locked down for multiple years. All of that in one season is really damn impressive to me.

imo the nfls receiver friendly rules have made cbs second round and below only

Cubs win over the Diamondbacks 3-2, Brewers lost again. NL standings through April 15th: 1. Brewers 10-5 2. Pirates 11-6 3. Cubs 10-6 4. Reds 9-7 5. Cards 8-9 Cubs are a half game out 1st now. After tomorrow, they may be in 1st. That didn't take long.

Her game is like Steph Curry's and she has a great personality as well. Not sure why people don't think she is good looking either. She isn't a 10 obviously but far from ugly. She looks good when she dresses up and wears makeup. I would say a 7 but I am not picky. Basketball wise, the Fever are going to be huge now in Indianapolis. Great day for Indianapolis!

I would do that in a heart beat and not worry about Pierce tbh. Hes alright but you can find guys like him every year. It would be funny to see Reggie waynes reaction to this, hes always been in APs corner but you know he would be pumped if we got Marvin. That would be a dream come true for him

Rd 7 chiefs (already picked) 222 generals 223 raiders 224 bengals 225 chargers 226 cardinals 227 titans 228 ravens 229 raiders 230 Vikings 231 pats 232 Vikings 233 cowboys 234 colts

Good thought. I was also thinking about including Kwity. Maybe they could use an ER. There are options I guess.

I've actually saw a couple articles talking about Aiyuk potentially being moved post draft for 2025 pick(s). Best of both worlds? Keep #15, trade 2025 pick? Would be quick way for massive upgrades. Saying that, I don't think it will happen, but you never know. We definitely have a history with SF. Maybe 2025 pick and Pierce so they get immediate help at WR since they don't get a 2024 pick?

Interesting the Patriots are bringing Penix in for a visit. Makes you wonder if they are open to a trade back from #3, or are not all- in on QB’s currently ranked higher QB’s. Either way, it could initiate a very active 1st round of movement.

It feels like it’s Dejavu time for the 49er’s and Colts right now. The 49er’s issue with Aiyuk and Samuels reminds me of their situation four years ago with Buckner and Armstead. They traded Buckner to the Colts for pick 13 to solve it. I wonder if Ballard would be tempted to call and see if a trade for Aiyuk could work out for both teams again. He’s set to play on the 5th year option so his extension could wait for a year. I know he wants the extension but he might just have to play on the option this year no matter where he ends up if he is traded. If the Colts are really considering moving up for Nabors trading for Aiyuk would undoubtedly cost less. I know the rookie contract is cheaper but Aiyuk is a proven NFL playmaker. Interesting option none the less.

I definitely don’t disagree with this but ultimately I think it comes down to your appetite for risk and both strategies can work effectively. I think this is the year to trade up. What we saw from this team last year was enough to tell me with competent QB play we can be a playoff team. Get him a weapon that has a proven college track record and is a lineage player who knows exactly what it takes to make it in the NFL.
