Pick #46/ #82 What's Available Day 2? Discussion
Mr. Irrelevant replied to w87r's topic in Colts Football
That is almost a given, lol -
I think most of us (all?) hoped that we could somehow grap one of the top three WRs or TE Brock Bowers, but that’s didn’t happen. I’m happy that 1) we at least tried to move up (which means that Ballard is capable of doing it, I had my doubts) and 2) we got the top DE rusher instead which is super important in the AFC that is fully loaded with QB talent at many teams. Also, I really did like that Ballard said Latu was one of the 4 to 5 players they considered Elite in this draft. I’m warming up to this!

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. They don’t bring in guys for multiple interviews if they feel good about their character and work ethic etc. He was deemed good from the start.

Colts have the 15th pick in the draft. (MERGE)

If there is a special player that you think is gone for sure at 15, just do it. Would you? Situational of course… -

Pick 9 should give us a very good player. -

We could play here, higher up is probably too expensive. -

That would of course be the ideal outcome. Fingers crossed! -

This goes against everything Ballard would do, however it would be something that Irsay would love to do as he is a romantic. Probability is very very low though. -

Nah, Wilson is just a backup QB and the rest of the NFL goes like this on that trade: -
Hopefully he would!

Having said that, I would be more aggressive to get Richardson The best support possible from day one.
-
Yeah, one thing we have to keep in mind is that they honestly still don’t know whether Richardson will be the franchise QB we all hope he will be. If he doesn’t pan out, the organization needs the ammunition to move for a new QB so I think that is why Ballard is not trigger happy in the draft to move substantially up or spend big in FA by using draft capital. If we had Stroud, things might be different. Texans are safe to spend big as they did. Just something to ponder about.
-
Yeah, not going to lie. I'm starting to lose faith in Ballard's team building philosophy. This extreme obsession with the trenches has never really materialized in a superior defense despite the fact that Ballard has been here for many years. I think Steichen will save us on the offense side of the ball regarding team building, but I dislike that Ballard does not put a consistent premium on DB (CB + FS). Sure, he will get a good CB like Gilmore once in a while, but you can never trust that we will have a good DB when going into a new season.
-
I agree with this as I’m left with the impression that Reich either didn’t challenge Ballard enough for skill players or they were just too aligned on how to build the team (in a bad way).

Shaq Leonard blasts the colts
Mr. Irrelevant replied to Restinpeacesweetchloe's topic in Colts Football
True, but the Colts have still paid him very good money even this year that will secure him and his family for years to come so maybe he should just be grateful for what life have brought him so far and let his play on the field talk for him if he feels entitled to more. But whatever, I gues…
