Running backs are fine in the first round if your a SB team or close. The giants taking Barkley was dumb. But the patriots taking Michele was fine.
I am really scared at what the jags did. Especially since they have foles. He is the kind of qb that won’t lose you games. But the colts got a ton better so we will see.
I don't think having Barkley on your team is dumb, but, Taking a QB first this year if you are not sure that he will be your franchise QB is, with all of the other needs you have to address might be. As long as Eli is their QB, they need to build the team around him, if they fall flat on their face this year, then they will have a high draft choice that they can choose the franchise QB they want to build around, and have less spots to fill to help him succeed.

I loved the post draft interview into the inner workings of the draft thought process & where we are as a unit right now, as a fan it should be standard viewing, to see the mind set of our GM & head coach. I love the process that they talk about balancing Character/ Athletic ability.
Also after establishing, a locker room culture, Taking a chance on talent down the road on more high profile FA's. This is why I am so glad to be a Colt fan from the late 50's. Do I like winning? yes, but I think in this football world as a business, it's nice to see integrity is not completely gone.
Anyway that's my two cent's worth, Anybody have any thoughts on the interview?

I think he has better value as an insurance policy for us this year as a back up after already been in the system, Next year would be my guess, that he will probably get moved.

Screw the grades! let's play some football!

Unfortunately, the Patriots, N' keal Harry is a big stud that even though is a wide out, could make people forget about Gronk, down the road. With all the draft picks they had, you can't count them out this year on a reload. I hate them. darn it. lol

I seem to recall that I posted that Ballard was not going to keep the 26 and 34 pick together. So it was no surprise that it did not happen. Ballard said during the draft that he did not think that most of the value in the first round , was not worthy of wasting a first round pick over. Ballard is not as hard to predict if you listen to him. To many people get caught up in the media hype on who should go where. I have to give kudo's to Ballard for sticking to his board, and his scout information on, value for the player in the draft order. Even though we came back last year after a bad start , we still are a team that is rebuilding to a degree . That is we are still adding parts to make us dominate.

I think to many people live an breathe, to much on the media's fashionable picks, and get to caught up on individual players Vs players who fit our system and culture, that we are trying to incorporate in our system, for their value at the pick. In my opinion, Ballard is trying to keep the cap space ready for good players that we groom and make the grade from jumping ship , down the road after we groom them. Thus, less turn over for players, that fit our system, for now.

Ballard's strategy might not impress the fashionable media picks , but until proven other wise, Let's give the man his due.

Don't care about the grades no more than last year. until the season progresses this year it is a mute point. Injuries can play a major factor as you well know. We have a really tough schedule this coming year , and every game will be tougher. I hope you know that we are no longer flying under the radar., and the league knows we are not a given this year. So we are under the spot light now. It will be tougher than a lot of people realize to even duplicate last year's success.
I really think we can progress this coming year barring major injuries. I am excided on taken the next step , and have the Colts as a major player in the NFL for years to come.

He will have to if we acquire him. All the two teams have to do is agree on the compensation. Not saying they are going to agree but that is all it takes. There are enough reports out there stating we are one of the teams in discussions with them so I think it is possible.
Not gong to happen period.

Oh just past experience with you from last year with your comment on my mother from using a claw hammer on me and I told you that it was insensitive of you to use that as she was still incarcerated for that. talk about hitting below the belt? Sorry I thought you as a companionate guy. And I know you are Bott. That's why I love you, Seriously. dude.

Didn't say he was. But his value is more than a mid 3rd.
Depends on the teams desperate to give up that much. We are not!

Clark > Ford
Ballard is not giving up draft picks for this guy, period.

Lets just hope that we will reward guys who do that , and we don't end up in the Seahawks position.

I still think people are overlooking n/keel Harry wide receiver upside as an alternative to TY Hilton. He is a beast and if he was paired with TY the would be a force reckoned with I promise you. don't know how the draft will fall out but if by some happenstance we got him. It would solve our wide out problems for years to come.

I don't like to insult your perspicacity guys , but you might be overthinking everything to a point. If you use a layman's terms, it's like an analogy from star trek, It's great to be so analytical, but this is the voice of being Spock . Captain Kirks human side, saying you need to go with your gut without overthinking to much. This is the human side of the NFL not everything is going to work out on paper like you think it will. If it did then all we would need is some egghead's view and that would be the criteria of how we draft.
-
I still think if we stayed at our pick, that it wont be any of the so called fashionable players you think he might pick. so just enjoy the ride and don't get your hopes up too much on a player you think we should have on your board.

Salary cap. They're up against it this year, and they have a lot of free agents next year.
Your right Superman, That's why Ballard's approach to save some cap to sign already existing players for us is wise. The core who makes our team makes since," If they make the grade", is better than this constant revolving door of too many players you groom to be on your team to jump ship, after you put a lot time in these guys. I know there will always be turn over, but the less the better for the continuity of your team.
Who else had a Good Draft?

Giant's? totally agree. Raiders? Well after the gutting last year and the current talent on the roster now, then they could only improve, one would think.
