    I understand supporting and being a fan of Hurst, hope he can have a long career, but personally I’m glad we passed on him and got some extra picks in the process.

    I’d rather Ballard take a player that fails based on other reasons. A pre-examined medical condition is something he knows now, so I understand passing on him. Hope the best for Hurst though as well. 

    What a great start to the draft!!

    It’s like we’re playing Bridge with Ballard. He doesn’t play well with others, so here’s what he tells us:

    “I’m holding all the trumps, so you declare yourself the *, and we win the hand.” 

     

    We don’t know what he knows. Maybe he misses on a pick and they don’t perform. Then we can show our distaste. Right now, none of us know better, so let’s chill out. 

    52nd pick: Indianapolis Colts select DE Kemoko Turay

    What's killing me is that a bunch of us spend the offseason watching film, evaluating players, doing mock drafts, and talking about players. Come draft day, people come out of the woodwork screeching about how terrible these players are and "who is that?" If you don't you know Kemoko Turay is, I don't think you have any reason to be upset at the pick. ESPN and NFL.com have him rated lower than where he went, so obviously CB doesn't know what he's doing. /s

     

    I really like him, even though I projected him a bit lower than where we picked him. He needs some refinement, but I think in a year or 2 he could be a really good DE for us. Keep in mind that we have some bodies at DE and don't expect to be contending this year, so taking a guy that should be hitting his stride when your roster should be ready for contention is setting yourself up for the long haul.

    I deleted it from your comment, but Guices fall had me okay with passing on him. A projected first round running back rarely falls that far. He could work it out, but he could also not and it’s a wasted pick. Mack turned out to be a great pick (imo, just give him more carries and coach him more to go north and south )that has potential. 

     

    As for the forum, I probably got too worked up. People have a right to their own opinions, sometimes it just makes me mad to see blatant hate where it is not needed. There is always a nervous energy behind every pick, we all feel that. 

     

    My guess about Ballards draft strategy this year is that he likes the front 7 talent in those early rounds, but thought there was a drop off. I also believe he thinks that the skill positions were not as strong this year, and has just as good a chance  to find a starter in rounds 4-7 than 2 and 3. Just my opinion, but there is a plan we are not seeing because we aren’t the ones in that war room
