34 - 23 Colts.

I'll be devils advocate and disagree.. I think Nelson has had a bigger impact on this team than ANY other player, Leonard included. He's changed the attitude. No longer a soft team, our line is a beast and Nelson is the head of the beast. Plus, that new attitude line protects the franchise player. I wanted Nelson at three, happy he was there at 6. Leonard is a stud and probably the steal of the draft despite being drafted in the 2nd. But NELSON has completely changed this team.

Trust in Ballard.

Nice pick.. can’t wait to hear all the “Ballard reached again” posts.

Poor Ballard.. can’t win. Building an O-line isn’t sexy. Keeping Luck on the field is better than any player available in round 2.

Jackson is a project, will NOT be a starter day one. Maybe he develops into a premiere corner, but he’s a question mark.

You have absolutely zero knowledge to suggest both players would be available later. Jones and Jackson also have flaws. Clearly, Ballard wanted Leonard and Smith more. Both picks were submitted extremely quickly which suggests CB got exactly what he wanted.

Can’t please everybody I guess, but I love the picks. I will say this though.. judging a draft when a player hasn’t played a snap and you are still in round 2 is ludicrous.

Best player available.. the drop off from 6 to 12 clearly wasn’t worth two round picks to Ballard. Id have taken Nelson with the #1 pick. An absolute beast. I’m guessing Ballard would have at three if he stayed there so it’s a huge win in my books.

Hell yes! My number one want.. start protecting your QB. Nelson is a day one starter and one of the best guards in the league!

Chubb or Nelson please! Two studs - don’t trade out!

I agree.. it’s why I said guarentees us one of Chubb or Nelson cause Broncos take the other. Mayfield, Darnold, Allen, Barkley, Chubb/Nelson

Colts trade back to 8 (add a 2nd round pick) and select Smith. Bears move up for Nelson. my hope is Nelson is the pick. I would order his jersey tomorrow.

Lots of rumours of Browns taking Mayfield at 1. I think Giants jump all over Darnold and Jets take Allen. Guarentees one of Chubb or Nelson is at 6 cause Barkley will go at 4 or 5.
