I'll give this draft an A- Ballard did very well in the first 4 rounds, about as well as he could IMO. 5th round was nice as well. Where he lost me was not taking a RB before the run in the 5th round or getting Blake Watson at any point in the 6th or 7th round or as a UDFA when we had a top 30 visit with him and didn't draft one. I have to deduct a bit off the grade for that. I'm assuming we will sign a top remaining CB on a one-year deal pretty soon with some of the cap we opened up, so missing out on a CB until the 6th round really doesn't bother me. I love Latu, Mitchell, Goncalves, and Bortolini. They were either players I loved, or in Mitchell's case, a great value. Gould is a lot of fun as a WR, Carlies and Simpson have some potential. Not a fan of Abraham that much, but he can back up Kenny Moore and play ST's. I like Laulu as a raw athlete that has potential to be good with a decently high ceiling, that's the type of guy you want in the 7th. Overall, Ballard did a great job and I'm glad he went away from his normal strategy to get some players he wouldn't have gotten otherwise. A lot more production over athleticism in this draft. Looks like Steichen may have had an effect on him.

That would work perfectly if it happened.

I agree with the vet signings. We have some cap space. I think that was intentional where Ballard plans to sign FAs to fill in the holes from the positions he couldn't draft during the draft.

Slovis has a legit chance of being the no3 QB. He's probably a top 10 QB in this class tbh.

I like Strong a lot, this is the type of guy I wanted to compete for an RB spot. Absolute freak athlete!

Also, if we are at 91, maybe we cut Cox now.

Good. Glad we're giving a RB a tryout. I'll check him out.

RB too.

I like it. Flacco will only be here for a year, so it'll be nice to solidify a #3 and possibly a backup in 2025. Hoping we sign an undrafted RB or two for competition.

I had Slovis as a solid day 3 pick in the QB tier pool after Rattler. I like this signing.

Simpson does really well against TEs. I think that might be why we drafted him.

Yes. good pick here. I had him as an early 5th.

We traded our 6th to move up for Gonsalves, now we got it back.

Must have wanted Prince and got sniped.

If the Colts take Blake Watson at RB next, I will be extremely happy. We had a lot of interest in him.

That's what frustrates me. I would have much rather had Ulofoshio.

Pretty good pick here honestly. I don't know how well he plays, but I know he's an athletic freak that can play multiple positions at S and LB. He's more of a FS. Stoodout at the combine.

I can see Gould as a gimmick guy and a returner. Use him for screens, Jet Sweeps, WR runs, stuff like that. Lot of ways to involve him on offense and STs.

yes

Bortilini is an amazing pick, my last remaining C I loved in the draft.

I love the pick lol! Just not what i thought at this point!

PLEASE take an RB Ballard! None have been taken! Start a run!

He was taken late 3rd.

Great pick by the Broncos teaming Bo Nix with his receiver at Oregon.

I'm here for day 3. Absolute snowstorm here in Colorado.
