Although I posted a link to the article, it doesn't mean I agree with it, you all; just as I stated in the OP. Ever entertain an idea without accepting it? It's the hallmark of an educated mind

I say no unless he's a natural at the position https://www.stampedeblue.com/platform/amp/2018/7/9/17550962/colts-should-give-quenton-nelson-shot-tackle

Luck's gig is in jeopardy

I love the Nelson pick at #6. I was on the Chubb train, but I've warmed up to Earl Grey. Thank, God, the Browns took Ward at #4, because Denver likely would have snagged QN at #5. Imagine how different the draft would have been for us then. I'm not certain, but I suspect the Colts were looking at Will Hernandez in R2/3 pick, but the Giants cashed in instead. I would rather of had Will, but I'm happy with Smith Edit: we're going to need a nickname for this OL

I predict 8-8. This roster still has a lot of holes. Some of the draft picks will not pan out. The injury bugs will eat away at what little depth we do have. Another draft+ spending some FA money next year will make us the surprise team of 2019. And oh yeah, Nelson is a probowler in his rookie season

I think our draft was better than the Cowboy's. I do agree with NYG at the top though.

I'm buying into Ballard's philosophy of quality guys in the trenches with frigging Andrew Luck directing traffic. This roster did have more potholes than the streets here in Indy, so I'm okay with a 2-3 year plan of building through the draft. We're already close to being better than any of the Grigson teams

Obviously, Colt's brass feels very strongly that he will return to elite status. In fact, looking at the results of the draft, I would say, they're all in 100%

Maybe we should have stuck with the 3-4 for another year just to have time to adjust to all of the monumental changes? We just allocated a great deal of draft resources for the offense whilst cutting serviceable parts on defense. That cupboard will be pretty bare on defense, in particular when we start losing bodies to the war of attrition that is the NFL regular season.

Castonzo-Nelson-Kelly-Slauson-Smith Versus Glenn-Lilia- Saturday- Scott- Diem Are we close yet?

Smith has played some on the outside. Maybe he's projected at RT

Kind of a reach on both picks. Could have been had later?

Nelson is the kind of Big Ugly we need to shed our 'Soft-team' label. Not a sexy, head-line grabbing pick, but a necessary one

People in the know and around the league were flabbergasted when Irsay hired Grigson. Then they couldn't believe the "Luck" he backed into having a quarterback like #12 for Andrew's whole career. We're talking about what should have been a decade's worth of job security. Grigson is plain and simply not good at all. If he was even an average GM, he would still be employed as GM by the Colts.

I wonder how much mental prep and film study he's been doing during all of this down time. You can always work on some aspect of your game even while incapicitated.
