Sounded to me like he was saying they would of took Levis of Richardson went 3rd?
You get that vibe?
He said there was other guys?
Now that I rethink, probably would of been Will Anderson.
One would hope that it would have been Anderson… even with hindsight, it would have made more sense to trade back to somewhere in the top 10 with someone looking to take the top non-qb player in the draft, than to take Levis as the 4th qb in as many picks…

Yeah there is a difference between drunkenness and beer sales during the game. At cold outdoor stadiums those people are hammered when they get there
The op made the title to be funny but there is a difference
I was the OP and the one you quoted. Lol. And yes, i was being funny and sarcastic at the same time. I think they probably do hold their weight in beer sales, but mostly because it's cheaper than most places. There's a reason the drunks drink before the game...
I've been to more games at Lucas Oil than i can recount, and I really can't tell you an instance where I was around someone drunk. I know that there probably were at every game, but nothing like what I see posted online. I've never seen a fight at lucas oil like i see weekly posted online at what seems like the same stadiums -

I was reading where the Chargers are picking 5th and interested in Bowers.
But if the pass and go WR, Bowers could easily fall to 15
I'm not sure about easily, but there are probably a couple teams in front of us with bowers close to the top of their board but could very well get their top guy. I don't see the Chargers taking him at 5. That would be a risk, when Harbaugh puts heavy emphasis on the trenches. Them passing up several top tackles in the top 5 for a tightend doesn't seem to be likely.

If the Fever get Clark, I'll watch women's basketball. She is the 2nd best woman player I have ever seen, only Cheryl was better.
It's not if. She wouldn't have announced if a silent deal wasn't done, in my opinion. There's little chance she doesn't know exactly what the plan is. This isn't just about basketball, as she will make less than $100k on the court. This is about how the Fever can accommodate her as a superstar, which she is. She will bring viewers in both in attendance and television. I'm assuming the league will have to take advantage and work on network deals for Fever games.
I haven't watched too much women's basketball outside of the local high school level, but she is like nothing i have ever seen. There's only been one player that can create with the kind of accurate range she has, and that's steph curry. I don't see a way it is going to be stopped at the next level. Sure, slowed down some. She likely won't score 30 plus a game, at least not right away. But on the Fever, she will be playing with last year's 1st overall pick as well, 6 foot 5 Aliyah Boston. So she'll be able to be a Haliburton style point guard for the Fever that will have opportunities to facilitate, but with more range. Her passing ability is very underrated. She reminds me of Lebron at times when he's willing to not be involved much in the offense because he is drawing so much attention defensively, or finding an area on the floor that is open. But when she has the green light, she is dangerous.

Indy has the first draft pick?
Yep

Brandon Fiske- DT transfer from Western Michigan to Florida State. Met with the Colts- performed huge at the combine, running a 4.78 40 at just under 300 lbs. met with the Colts- scored a 9.98 RAS (insert Ballard salivating meme). Originally projected 3rd round, now most likely 2nd with potential for sliding at the back end of 1st round.

As they should. And even if they love the current group, that doesn't mean they shouldn't draft Bowers if he's there at #15 and is BPA.
I don't think he'll last that long, but if he does, it's hard to imagine that he's not at the top of our board.
there may be several they have at the top that many aren’t expecting to be there. There always seems to be a head scratcher or two in the top half of the draft. -
I find it ironic that the day after Ballard emphasizes they like the TE room and implies that blocking tight ends are the hard ones to find/ones sought after, seemingly everyone important in the organization is meeting with Brock Bowers…
don’t kid yourself, they are doing their research on the kid in the event he lands in their lap…

I wouldn’t count out Bowers being available at 15. Pitts was a generational TE prospect too and drafting him top 10 hasn’t worked out for the Falcons. Plus I could see 4 QBs go top 15 and at least 3 OTs and WRs as well.
I agree to an extent. But the falcons and the lions are on opposite ends of the spectrum. Ben Johnson is a legit play caller. Pitts in Steichen’s offense would be better than Pitts in the hot mess that is Atlanta. Tight end production is about proper utilization.-

Let’s play devil’s advocate on Brock bowers for a moment.
with the lions 34th pick of the 2023 draft, they pick Sam Laporta, tight end out of Iowa. Here is a draft analysis of Sam.
LaPorta doesn’t have an elite-size profile, but he does have elite-testing athleticism. One of LaPorta’s key strengths as a tight end is his catching instincts. Overall, LaPorta is a bend-don’t-break blocker who occasionally loses control with his lacking strength, but he consistently fulfills his assignments and brings solid effort. He’s also versatile with his alignments. He can function as a lead blocker, and with his athleticism, he can also block on the move and work in space.
now Bowers-
Brock Bowers is a rare, explosive play threat from the tight end position. Anytime he touches the ball, he could go for a house call.
Bowers has exceptional burst and speed. He tears away from most defenders once he gets the angle on them, and he rarely gets caught from behind.
potential, but he's feisty. Bowers works his tail off in the run game. Bigger, stronger ends can still overwhelm him, but he makes them work for it. Bowers is far more useful as an on-the-move blocker out in space or at the second level.
Bowers isn't exactly built like a traditional Y tight end, but that's OK. Everything he offers athletically more than makes up for lack of ideal size. Bowers is a truly special player with the ball in his hands who can instantly transform any passing game.
Sam LaPorta had one of the best rookie years ever. Similar sized and not known for his blocking, he proved that effort and willingness to improve goes a long way. I would take a Sam LaPorta in a heartbeat, and so would most teams… It’s why I don’t see any way Bowers falls to 15. He will bring effort at blocking, and he will be a game changer in the passing game right away. If he falls to us, we would be silly not to take him, imo.-

That coincides with the report I read about Bowers. Blocking is not his strongest attribute. Adequate at it for the most part in college. At the next level he’s going to have to get better at I would think.
and if he’s the athlete he is cracked up to be, he will.
I think would rather have a superb receiving tight end bulk up and get better at blocking than try and develop a strong blocker but weak receiver into an all around tight end.
If college’s can take a receiver and make them a legit linebacker, or a tight end and make them a legit offensive tackle, then an nfl team should be able to take a top receiving tight end whose only knock is marginal blocking ability and make him into an all around stud. The effort is what matters… Bowers isn’t lacking in that aspect. Bulk him up and mold him into a game wrecker.

After hearing Ballard talk about how hard it is to find a TE who can block I really wonder if he would take Bowers at 15. I just read that’s the worst part about his game. All of our receivers can block. Cox is currently our only TE you can count on in that department. You would think a player drafted as high as 15 would be excellent in all aspects of their position. In such a deep draft you would think a more complete player at their position would be available at 15. DT, WR, ER, CB ? I would be tempted to go there first.
the only thing that makes skeptical to an extent is that it could be smoke and mirrors in the event someone with the ability to get in the 10-14 range of the draft might be eyeballing him to trade up for. If he falls to 15, it might be hard not to take him. He’s that good of a prospect. However, he’s not a player they are going to look to move up for, in my opinion. I don’t think they are looking to move at all. I think it’s most likely they look to sit put and take whoever is at the top of their board. They might maneuver their board a bit based on the strength/weak points of the draft (example- receiver depth at every level may not put some of their top receiver targets over, say a defensive tackle/pass rusher that they view as the same caliber). But I look for them to take the top player on their board at 15. So if Bowers is there, which he may very well be, I see them taking him because of what he can do for the offense.

Maybe I just really want to keep that 15th pick. Is sneed really worth a first? I don’t recall many CB trades where CB get a 1 at in return. But with the deep WR class what you propose here could work well. Doesn’t sneed need a new contract soon too? He is still young so I would be ok with it but that 15th pick would sting.
you might be, but does Ballard?
if he feels he can get the same caliber of talent (especially if thinking receiver early) then trading back and gaining a premium player at corner isn’t a bad thing…
I honestly think he would sweat more over giving up a potential 2nd next year than trading back in the 1st this year. That’s just based on past moves. He likes those 2nd day picks… But it’s not to say he wouldn’t trade back again from late 1st to acquire more…
I think Snead should be taken seriously. Especially considering what looks like we are losing Moore. A cornerback room of Snead, Flowers, Brents and Jones is well upgraded, imo.

Im sorry, I don’t see any comment on blocking tight ends. What did I miss? Can you elaborate?On the TE room: “I think their skillsets are kind of different. Do we have an elite tight end like a Kelce? No. But what we have is a good room, with some pretty good players that all have a different skillset from Mo Alie-Cox to what (Kylen) Granson brings. We thought (Will) Mallory offered something different. Not having Jelani Woods, who we had big hopes for with him being hurt all year, this new staff doesn’t even know who he is. They haven’t had a chance to really work with him. And we think he has some upside. We do like the room. We like what it has to offer. They’re all a little different. The hardest guy to find is the blocker. I know we all pay attention to the ‘F’ and you all want the dynamic playmaker but the hardest guy to find is the the guy that can block on the edge.”

Seems like we are a small market team with an owner that cares about money. Surprise… why is anyone shocked? It’s the same concept I’ve been arguing about for some time. We’ll bash Ballard for not hitting free agency hard, but as he said- it’s a two way street. We can offer money, but they can turn it down. Damnit- if we only brought a daycare and fresher food in, we’d be able to get those second tier players making the big bucks!

I mean, Sneed is one of the best corners in the league.
Did it with Buckner. I wouldn’t bet against him doing it again…Especially with the comments on the receiver depth at every level.
could we see a defensive lineman or two in free agency, perhaps a safety. a pittman tag/extension, a premium corner replacing Moore with the 15th pick, a receiver on day 2, and o-line depth?
Seems like a good possibility.

If he gets tagged, he can at least go talk to some other teams and see what the market is saying. Meanwhile, he'll already know the Colts best offer.
Will he though? -

Letting your only vet at corner hit FA is a huge mistake.
I think you are overreacting big time. He’s letting him test the market, which he’s done plenty of times. If he wants to go somewhere else, what are you to do about it?-

agreed.
seems like a post where the op wanted to post something colts related, but that’s all that was on the google search.
