    I am excited to see Luck throwing to Campbell and Funchess. 

    I certainly hope Luck is the one throwing to them. I found it curious that he reportedly wasn't throwing in phase 2 workouts. I'm sure he's good or Ballard would have mentioned it.

    Irsay has +50 mil in cap space sitting there to spend on players to win this year, and he's not.  I'm not so sure he will throw the bank at Ballard as much as you seem to think.

    It's not Irsay's cap space it's the Colts' cap space and Ballard is the one choosing not to spend it. Irsay has and always will give his GM's free reign to execute their plan. He let Grigson spend all he wanted. Jim will do anything needed to win, he's never been tight with money.

    Curious if all of you guys saw the video of Montez Sweat getting drafter????  Thoughts????  I liked trading back, and I really liked it after I came across that.

     

     

    This guy's commentary is pretty good too if this is the same video....

    My thoughts? It's 2019, who cares.

     

    The commentary was not good, it was disrespectful.

  4. Props to you @stitches, you really do your homework and seem to have a passion for this.

     

    I'll agree that the Willis pick was the first pick that made me scratch my head because I was not familiar with him. However, after reading how many pundits were high on him and doing some more research, I like the pick. I watched this guy cover Purdue's Rondale Moore in the slot pretty much 1 on 1 all game and hold him to one of his least effective games all season. That's impressive.

     

    I view anything after the 4th round as a coinflip anyways so I'm not overly upset with Speed, Green, Barton and Patterson. I actually don't expect Green and Barton to make the final 53 and perhaps Patterson won't either.

  5. All the hype the Colts are getting is making me nervous. They have the talent on paper, but I'm pumping the brakes on my own expectations. The last time they were talked up this much was 2015 and that's when the wheels fell off. I think they can be tremendous but they have to stay healthy and prove it. They have targets on their backs now.

    Some were saying that he was misused at Ohio State and showed very well with routes and tracking deep ball at the combine. So maybe no big surprise ?

    There have also been a few videos floating around showing that whenever he did go deep, Haskins would miss him by a mile. The deep ball accuracy was one of Haskins' major criticisms so there's probably a few reasons why he wasn't used deep.

  7. They were never going to take Sweat because it was reported that the Colts doctors gave it a thumbs down therefore he was off their board. It will be interesting to see if he plays a long and healthy career like everyone hopes. I wanted Sweat but I can see why they passed. I wouldnt be able to live it down if I drafted a guy with a known condition and something horrible happened.

    I haven’t listened to JMV today, but I think he got the wrong guy. Everyone and their brother mocked Jacobs to the Raiders at 24. That was no surprise. Ballard would have known he needed to move up to get Jacobs. 

     

    The Ravens swooping in front of us was much harder to predict. 

    He usually has pretty good intel from people with the team. The Raven's didn't trade up to 25 though, they traded back from 22 to 25. I think a trade down was always in the cards.
