To some degree that's fair, but IMO a lot of it had to do with weird drafts that made it really hard to draft anyone but the players we drafted. For example, in the Hooker draft there was a leaked photo that suggested the Colts had him ranked no. 4 on their board(I had him no. 3 on mine). How do you pass on him at 15 when the Eagles got the pass-rusher right before us. And Hooker was actually playing great football before he tore his ACL, and has been solid to good after he returned. In the Nelson draft we had linebackers and safeties drafted around that pick. I guess the solution would have been to not trade back and get Bradley Chubb, but honestly...
I think I prefer Nelson + Braden Smith + Kemoko Turay + Jordan Wilkins + Rock Ya-Sin. IMO that's not close. We got amazing value. The best guard in the league, top 5 RT in the league, promising pass-rusher and CB. We did well in this trade.
The roster will always be a work in progress... players will come and go, but I don't think we are far off, especially when considering the type of money we have and the picks we have. We should be OK... as long as we hit on the QB we draft IMO.
This is indeed the voice of reason.
well said.

I would be totally fine with Kinlaw, although I still feel we could trade back a bit and still get him.
After his showing in the senior bowl... we may be LUCKY to get him at 13

I am just glad you did not go WR with No.13 because I do not believe it gives us good ROI in a deep WR class, IMO.
I’m in total agreement with this statement. Be prepared to get nailed to the cross for sharing it.

That is reasonable.
I have no insight to their draft board. It very well could be that it turns out to be a repeat of 2019 where they had so many players rated close together that a trade back to get an extra pick made sense to them.
But I just believe blanket statements like “stay awAy from position x” in round one are pointless. In this case, WR is a glaring need. Plus who know how they have their board stacked. It may just be an instance where need and BPA lead to the same guy.
I’ll give you that we could use some fresh blood at WR.... and I would not object to CB double dipping in later rounds on them. But we should really get our future LT and the interior DL in the early rounds, but I’m just stubborn that way. There may even be some interesting prospects that go undrafted at WR it’s so deep. But I’ve been wrong before. Calling me reasonable is quite the compliment on this forum... so cheers for that JS.

I gotta go with B. Just wish Pittman or Claypool was in B but Brown is a win win and I’m in the Love camp.

Ballard waits to get his guy at QB in the 2021 NFL Draft in this mock. There's a chance he may want to give Brissett one more year with healthy and talented playmakers around him at WR to see what he can do.
Round 1 Pick 13: Derrick Brown, DT, Auburn
Round 2 Pick 2: Henry Ruggs, WR, Alabama
Round 2 Pick 13: Mekhi Becton, OT, Louisville
Round 3 Pick 13: Cam Akers, RB, Florida State
Round 4 Pick 13: Antonio Gandy-Golden, WR, Liberty
Round 5 Pick 12: Logan Stenberg, OG, Kentucky
Round 6 Pick 11: Alton Robinson, DE, Syracuse
Round 6 Pick 13: Amik Robertson, CB, Louisiana Tech
Round 7 Pick 13: Nigel Warrior, FS/SS, TennesseeI like this

what if at the time of their pick, a WR is the highest rated player? You would pass for what they have rated as an inferior player.The receiver pool in this draft is very deep. If the wideout was the last elite player I had rated as such on the board I may pull the trigger but if all things are equal I’m going trenches. That mindset can change from draft to draft but in 2020 IDL isn’t as deep as WR. And I’m not opposed to going OT if he’s borderline elite.

This.... if we can sign a difference maker like Jones then we can pick a wideout in the first. Another DT in the second. If we can't sign Jones then I would only trade down if Brown AND Kinlaw are off the board.

No receivers in the first round...... please and thank you.

Don't hate it...embrace it. This is a loaded class...and being able to get TWO of them is better than one.
I’m and old school trenches first guy Shasta. If I embraced it I would definitely need a shower afterwards.

What do you think?
13) Indianapolis Colts: Yetur Gross-Matos, EDGE, Penn State
The Colts are building something special along the defensive line after signing Justin Houston to a mammoth six-year contract last offseason, and pair him with Gross-Matos, who has elite bend and explosiveness off the edge. As a junior at Penn State, Gross-Matos produced 9.5 sacks. He has the chance to be an ideal complement to Houston as they race to AFC South quarterbacks such as Deshaun Watson and Ryan Tannehill.
The problem is he won’t be there at 34 and I would hope Chris goes after Kinlaw or Brown at 13. Plus I want to see his previous drafts edge guys develop a little more ie Ben, Kemoko and yes Lewis as I would almost put him back on the edge as IMO he’s struggling a bit at IDL

I can't see us trading back if an elite graded player is available, but the right offer could do it.
CB will attempt fixing our interior DL and he won't wait for the draft to do it.
I agree and hope you’re right. I would hope he spends money in FA if for no other reason than signing Chris Jones. Then in the draft try and score Brown or Kinlaw and then double dip on that position a little later as well. Then.... we’re on our way, IMO.

IDK. He’s good but similar to what we already have in Hilton and Campbell. Need a receiver with size AND speed.
True but Hilton is getting older and banged up on the regular of late. As much as I hate to say it Chris May need to double dip on receivers this draft.

I love the Raiders trade because that gives us the opportunity to trade for Carr. Hopefully our 34th would do it and we can still get our DT at 13. I am of the belief that Brady is going to the Chargers for part of the same reason Tua goes to the Chargers. Brady generating excitement in a new stadium and city. Then the Chargers don't have to take a QB at 6.
The only FA QB I would even consider is Teddy B as I think he could be our long term answer IMO. That being said if we draft one we just may as well roll with JB, CK and the rook and see what shakes out. We’re not one player away anyhow so no need to be desperate and start swinging at pitches in the dirt.

I think this is the pick for us as well... unless Brown miraculously drops there.
like you said it’s a huge need and I’m always going to choose a good “big ugly” over a good diva wideout.
In the first round....to clarify

Not sure why I just thought of this but I just realized Ballard hasn’t selected an offensive skill position player in the first 3 rounds in any of his three drafts. Understand this is not a criticism. Just hit me and I thought it was interesting.
With the lack of good offensive line play in the NFL of late... you could make an argument that OL is skill players

You did right. We need depth at tackle anyway. Might be some udfa’s ala Hentges to be had.

I went with IDL as priority 1 and 2. Not sure if that falls within your parameters. If its strictly about position (and not numbers within a position), freely make the change to IDL, DE, FS and recompute. My first choice is IDL, IDL, and DE.
I think we give our young players at DE, CB, and SS time to grow. I don't think FS is necessarily a priority and as much as getting two or three new players along the DL, and I don't expect the Colts to do anything there, but I like what I see from the young CBs, LBs, and Willis as to not draft anybody at those spots. In addition to the DL, we need more offensive skill positions than more young defense, IMO.
I did the same thing. A couple of good ones and our D could look a lot different

Dobbs seems like a pretty smart cat. That’s why I can’t imagine him working for one of the worst owners in the NFL. He does deserve a shot just for putting together the legion of boom.... I hope Jimmy takes care of him.

For me, QB, OT, and WR in that order.....
Even though I noted the assumption that AC signs a 3 year deal, I still think it's incredibly important to take an OT this year. We have zero depth there.
Same here!
