Nice player but is he a “Colts Guy”. I think the character, professionalism, maturity, along with a whole host of other traits play a significant role in the draft selection. (For the Colts Organization) if he is there, and if Ballard’s team concluded that he is not our guy, we would trade that pick.
There was a time early in Luck’s QB tenure that Oline help should have been made a priority…. With the talent on defense this year, and considering the needs other teams have, it’s a great opportunity to grab some BPA type talent at positions that might have gone earlier than expected. We have enough TE… give the WR room another year… sure up D and O line. Add depth at CB, OLB, RB, etc. 2 cents…
RD1: Newton DT or Murphy II. DT
RD2: Cooper OLB or Beebe OG
RD3: Trice DE or Zinter OG
RD4: Hart CB or Sinnott TE
BPA...WR, CB, DEFENSE
As for April 8th...
I'll see you on the dark side of the shoe... (Pink Floyd I believe)
Not using a 1st round pick on a mid-major guy. I want to see consistent production against top tier talent. Bowers had that in college. Also MIGHT help with another outlet so AR does run as much thinking he is Christian Okoye.
Not sure if I would want Ballard to get to clever. BPA with a few of these 1st round graded players that fell
S, OG, CB, LB…
Branch S
Avila, Torrence G
Porter Jr., Brent’s CB
Sanders, Simpson LB
Mayer TE
Trade back: 2 of the following
RD2: Torrence, Avila G, Branch S or Sanders LB
Mayer TE, White DE, Simpson LB, Laporte TE, Bergeron T, Brent’s CB etc…
CB in FA…
