I think we'll probably end up picking at 15. I think we're more likely to move up in the 2nd or the 3rd using one of our 3 4th rounders.*
*disclaimer I know nothing about the pick trade value chart*

We got a 4th and a 6th! That is a great move for us.
If I'm not mistaken we gave up a 6th and dwayne for the Patriots 4th; We didn't get a 4 and a 6.

Who is asking for his life to be destoyed?
When you want to take away something that he has been working towards his whole life, that is in essence destroying his life.
Yes he has been working towards playing in the NFL his whole life.

There is winning and winning with class. I'm fine with the latter even if it means we are runner up sometimes. It's the entertainment industry...and about money...and alienating a very large portion of your very small (small market) fan base is not good business. We can win without players like him. Most teams do.
On this note, nothing grows your fan base like winning. While I'm sure they are well aware of the backlash that will happen with drafting him, if they feel he gives them the best chance to win, they would offset their "small market" loss.

The guy made an impulse decision as a teenager; it's on his record, it was the wrong thing to do. He had his reasons for doing what he did at the time, he apologized when looking at his decisions in retrospect. So he would even agree with all of you arguing the graveness of what he did. Its not surprising in our world today that people on the internet want someones life to be destroyed based on an incident of poor judgement, but that idea seems ridiculous to me.
We've all made stupid decisions in our life and were more susceptible to them in our younger years; Granted probably not as serious as his, but I'd like to think that your life didn't end as a result, so let's not wish that on someone else.
If he can help the Indianapolis Colts win football games, I'm all for it. Yes that would involve him staying out of trouble and on the field. All we can do is hope Ballard does the homework necessary to determine if he is capable of doing that.

They're ALL COLTS.
They! Are! All! Colts! They've all dealt with Grigson.
Wouldn't an opinion of people who have dealt with Grigson hold more merit than the opinion of people who didn't? I get your sticking point is the "Around the league" line, but honestly it seems like a pointless argument

...and another one

... and he's not done

Its definitely Pat's real twitter. Been following him for years, always entertaining.

Mcafee was clearly not a Pro-Grigson guy

Every team has its own doctors look at it and decide on the risks. I doubt this report will have much influence on where he gets picked. If he gets picked early in the second it's simply because teams are OK with taking a chance in the second, not because an unaffiliated doctor said he doesn't need a surgery.
And since we're all speculating at this point ... Based on the idea that a doctor has indicated that he would not need surgery, other doctors may see something similar and opt to take him at the top of the second round.
I can't speak to their specific reasons any more than you can, but I can make a logical connection between the two points.

I'm still hoping Jack falls to us
Have to imagine Jack will be one of the first off the board tonight with this latest report.

Its my understanding that he is not eligible for the draft and is a free agent for anyone to sign.

The Entire second half of the Patriots game in the 06 playoffs
And Most recently the Andrew Luck touchdown vs the chiefs - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLDYlmYBS_4
I don't know if I can choose, I pretty much went insane when all of these happened
EDIT: Woops didn't realize we were limiting it to the past 2 years. Definitely the andrew luck touchdown vs the chiefs in that case.
-
And yet that record is still better than the Colts'.
How'd you enjoy that game in January?
We have a super bowl since spygate. just sayin

Because they should have what we in the real world call "perspective."
To use a small sample of drunken fans from the cheap nose bleed seats at Gilette for an 8pm playoff game on a Saturday that just encourages more consumption of alcohol before and during the game as a representation of an entire region that is made up of millions and millions of people just shows a lack of perspective. It also hints at an ulterior motive, which in this case is to paint NE fans as the worst in the league.. which also just shows their ignorance.
I have not, nor have any of my family or friends, been rude or obnoxious towards opposing fans. We have tailgated and invited rival fans to drink beer and eat food with us. Sure, there is some friendly ribbing and jabs, but its all done in jest and never in a way that is meant to make someone feel uncomfortable.
Here is a breakdown that should give some perspective:
1) You went to a PLAYOFF game on the road at a rival teams stadium
2) You bought tickets in the nose bleeds, which are generally the cheaper tickets and attract more trouble makers, because security will only go into the stands if there is a fight breaking out.. they have a much higher presence in the lower sections.
3) It was a Saturday game at 8:15pm, so people had been drinking all day long in the parking lott and didn't have to wake up and go to work the next day... this just encourages more excessive drinking
4) You were wearing your Colts gear
Sure, it sounds like you ran into some real * bags.... I live here, I run into * bags all the time that are horribly rude , etc... but they do not represent the entire demographic... New England is one of the most educated regions in the United States and the cost of living here is way up there.. but its still a city, and in cities you get the lower class as well and everything in between.
Perhaps you should read this thread before you jump in.
1- Because I in fact stated that i was sideline in section 127.
2- I also said that it reflects poorly on the NFL that fans would be discouraged to wear the gear they bought.
3- I also made sure to note my positive experience with the fans
4- Real world perspective is based off people's experiences, so if they have a negative experience in the real world, then that's what all their preconceptions will lean towards in the future, its human nature.
5- At no point in any of my posts did i elude to Patriots fans being the scum of the earth and ours superior, i simply noted my experience this past weekend like the OP asked

I think he would be an upgrade based on his last season of football and our lack of entrenched/proven starters at ILB. I don't think it's likely to happen since Ballard seems to be aiming to get younger overall, but I would expect the team to at least do their due diligence to see if he may be able to contribute.
