FalseStart

Didn’t he blow out his ACL?

Who you have as our pick at 35?

I got: 1. Stroud QB 2. Torrence G 3. Hall DE

No particular order… 1. Will Anderson has 5 older sisters. -mentally resilient -able to handle high stress environments -humble -can take criticism… I mean coaching 2. Likes to fish. 3. 6’4 245 pound DE with a propensity of generating havoc.

Actual Quote: “For the ’23 draft, we have many options,” Irsay tweeted. “With the #4 pick, we could stay put and take a QB—-or trade up and take a QB—-OR trade down and MAYBE take a QB—-Or NOT. All options on the table, but we like our position and are very excited. Fire up!” -Jim Irsay. Fire up Colts Nation

“Start me up…brother. Chris, We’re taking Keith Richardson at four.” -Jim

Thanks to Pelt for having this as a comment in another forum. Enter your best Chris Ballard response. Wrong or Right answers…your call. Go…

I imagine Irsay has overruled CB on more than one occasion.

Remember this day when the old Ballard Draft 2 step shuffle back BPA or picks hits you. 30% chance of QB, 30% DE-DL, 20% trade, 20% CB.

That’s understood. That is why giving them the min in compensation IF we go after Lamar. I think we should go BPA at a position of need until we find our guy. It’s not Levis or Richardson. Wasted pick for at least for 1-2 years.

I would be surprised the Colts take Mr. Body Shots (Narcissism) or Mr. Back Hand Springs as the next face of the franchise. For me, Anderson or Carter or Trade back.

Not sure if this would work, but Anderson or Carter at #4 then get Lamar for (trade up from pick 35 to RD1 pick 32 and next years 1st Rounder… (2 firsts is the comp to the ravens for Lamar correct?)

Caps… Snarky. A DE can lead to a Super Bowl… Miller, Freeney, Taylor, etc… more snark… 50% of the time we get it right every time.

Brady, Purdy, Rogers, Wilson… you never know where you will find that guy

At this point, Will Anderson. If Carter is there, trade back and build an amazing defense. Find QB after Ryan’s contract ends in 2024 draft or FA. Might be able to find enough guys to replace Okereke, Moore, Campbell, or whoever we lose in FA. Cheers

C. Wentz IS available. Hee Hee... (Ducks for cover as the hounds are released by the forum) Ha... Just a little Sunday morning levity.

He could not beat out Clifford at PSU.

Their coach was a punt, pass and kick champion. Ours was a backup QB for a team that lost super bowls. Big difference zing…

2-2 in the last four games with KC

It very well might be ‘pitchfork’ time. Ha… ‘Marching’ on the other hand… doubtful

With Carter or Anderson on the board, trade back with Detroit 4/35 for 6/18… then BPA

Is Ballard okay with a QB his size getting hurt every year… out for multiple games every year… As a HS QB his size…his size is a major red flag for me. That being said, he is a baller. 1. Stroud 2. Young 3. Richardson

"Does he win" - Chris Ballard Only two options for trading to RD1 Pick 1... If someone in the vicinity of a generational talent like an Andrew Luck is there, then okay. In this draft, there are only 2 players: QB1a: Stroud QB1b: Young

Richardson in the middle/ late first with an extra second rounder, sure I might take a swing. Could be Steve McNair...Warren Moon...Big Ben could be Ryan Leaf, JaMarcus Russell, Matt Leinart. Point being, we would still get those two needed starters at positions of need. We absolutely need to get 2 impact players before the 3rd round.

Young or Stroud are the only real options in the first or at least the top half of the first. The cost in current and future picks is just too much to pay to move up for QB3 (Levi’s) that we may already have on the team. I think we should aim for trading back getting 3-4 picks in the top 40-50. Think Peyton Manning’s Denver Team (Defense) that won the SB. As for Young/Stroud, might be Drew Brees might be Alex Smith…
