The Athletic had the Colts drafting Melton in 2nd and WR Polk in 3rd.
That would be incredible. I would take Polk in the 2nd I like him so much.

I've been a long time proponent of getting Tyler Nubin. However, I've backed off of him recently. Not just because of his lackluster combine, but also that he fits more of a strong than a free safety.
Cole Bishop is my favorite S in the draft. Absolute beast athletically, and he's from Utah who have amazing defenses.

Was hoping Max Melton if they go CB.
I have Max Melton as my 55th ranked player. Slight reach in the 2nd, but a player I love. Little undersized for the 2nd round IMO where we are at.

With Ballard's comment about "Georgia really knows how to play defense", do you think we'll take CB Kamari Lassiter or S Javon Bullard?
Bullard yes, Lassiter no.

There's 10-12 guys I like still for 46. I'm hoping we grab a solid CB or WR.

So, are we going to have multiple threads going during tonight's draft? Or all on one thread while we follow along?
I'm wondering the same.

Bradley is answering the question, “why is he so excited?” And he’s saying he’s excited because the Colts drafted Latu. Apparently, that’s the player he was hoping to get.Thanks. Maybe that is new slang how he said it. Just worded weirdly lol.

I don't understand that term. "It's because it's him". What does that mean?

Saw a post from Ian Rapport
who stated both the Rams and Colts were making several trade-up calls in the first round. Once Bowers was selected the calls stopped.
What happened was when the Jets were on the clock at 11 after the Vikings picked, the Bengals, Rams, and Colts all tried to trade up with them before they picked. I'm guessing the same was true with the Broncos, but they didn't want to trade down because 5 QBs were taken already and took Nix (heard Peyton say he had trade down offers but picked at 12). After that, the Raiders took Bowers.
I'm 99.9% sure that Bowers was the Colts first choice and they got their backup choice in Latu who was also their top defensive player. Balard also admitted in his 1st round press conference that he tried to trade up and it was a no go.

I do not believe he was a top 30 visit for the Colts. I have seen in a few different places that his skill set is a good fit for the Colts. Many consider him to be the top safety in the draft.
Yeah I know who Nubin is, I was just curious about the draft visits. My personal top Safety is Cole Bishop. Hope we get him in the 3rd round.

THE NBC Sports 2nd round mock draft has
@33 Bills WR's Mitchell
#34 Patriots WR McConkey
#35 Cardinals -CB Mckinstry
#37 Chargers - CB Dejean
#38 Titans - LB Cooper
#39 Panthers OL Powers-Johnson
#40 Redskins CB TJ Tampa
#41 Packers LB Colson
#42 Texans DT- Newton
#46 Colts S Tyler Nubin.
Did we show interest in Nubin? I remember Calen Bullock this early.

I would rather shoot to trade the third round pick even if it cost a extra pick next year
It would depend on the pick next year. If it's a 4th, I do it in a heartbeat. If it's a 3rd, I'd probably rather trade the 2nd this year. Of course trading the 3rd gives us an opportunity to trade down and get a pick or two back moving down from 46.

I would, it’s a fair deal, IMO.I think I would too. He's pretty much a guaranteed hit, and we have the money to extend him. Our WRs would be incredible if we did that.

Buckner having reworked his contract, Ballard is open to signing veteran free agents or trade. An example is Brandon Aiyuk, since the 49ers drafted Ricky Pearsall. Alot depends on Steichen's vision on how to max out his offense.
Would you trade pick 46 for Aiyuk if we extended him right away?

When the main 3 Wr's were off the board and Bowers was gone, I was wanting Mitchell or Dallas Turner but I am pretty happy with Latu. So, I can't complain.
I'm curious if Ballard tried to trade up for Odunze or Bowers? I find it possible that neither the Falcons nor the Broncos wanted to trade down.

Wilson another one with an injury past?
Yes, but I don't care in the 2nd. He's the best cover linebacker in the class and is extremely athletic. I'm willing to take some risks if our doctors clear him.
-
Packers pick at 41. I think we have to move ahead of them to get Cooper DeJean. They won't pass on him a 2nd time if he's there.

1.) Peyton Wilson
2.) Jalyn Polk
3.) Ennis Rakestraw

So I'm guessing with all our EDGE depth now, we're going to be rotating a ton during games. Ballard will finally have his "layers and layers" of EDGE rushers that he can use. If Bradley and Patridge use these guys correctly and they stay healthy, last year may be sustainable now.

My wife and I are both 30, but we feel like old people. I don't get the sunglasses indoors, TikTok dances, or constant selfies in public, but oh well. I suppose my kids will have a leg up in the job market when they've practiced communication skills rather than the dance of the week! 😂
I'm 36 and I don't get this either. I only have 2 or 3 Gen Z friends tbh. Most of my friends are millenials. There's a lot of stuff today I don't agree with. I'm very old-school. I don't even watch most TV Shows and movies from the last 15 years.

I think we are seeing growth from Ballard as a GM, which is what I would think everyone would hope for. He’s gone after free agents (even though they didn’t come here), he drafted a qb, put offers to move up in the 1st, and now drafted an edge that is actually productive instead of off upside. Hope it continues.I'm wondering if Steichen has had a good influence on him, or if Ballard just had a change in philosophy. It could be as simple as Latu being the BPA on defense, so we'll see as the draft goes on today and tomorrow what type of players he takes. Definitely promising to see him take Latu over Turner though. I was cheering from my house when that happened.

Kevin Bowen made a good point on the radio this morning. In the past Ballard would have taken Turner. He would have taken the high traits guy. This time he took the polished guy who was proven. I can live with that. I would have been mad had we taken him over the four big pass catchers but they were gone.
Yeah. That's why I'm happy about this pick. Latu is the best EDGE on the field in this draft and it isn't even close. That's a change in philosophy for Ballard and I'm happy about it. Still nice athleticism, but the production is that of an elite EDGE. The best case scenario would have been Bowers at 15, but he didn't make it, so Ballard made the correct decision in not trading down and getting the first defensive player off the board before the EDGE run started.

IDK. This list doesn’t excite me. So many went in the first.
Hope you've been well Chloster.
I love this list. Ton of good players still available. I would love all but Mitchell and Cooper at 46 here. Bishop in the third would be great. Trust me, there's a lot of great talent and Ballard made the right pick at 15. You know I'm 100% honest.

2024 NFL Draft Day 2 (Rounds 2 & 3) Discussion Thread ****NO SPOILERS****
in NFL Draft, Scouting, and Free Agent Talk
Posted
I have done decent research on about 200 players that any armchair GM could do lol. I have a pretty good idea of who I like personally.
