Does it matter where he got him? People praised Polian all the time for finding undrafted guys, the most notable being Jeff Saturday, and yet some how it’s a strike against Ballard. I am sorry, and maybe this isn’t your point, but when people go but Ballard didn’t draft this guy it sounds like trying to find a technicality to avoid having to give Ballard credit for acquiring a good player.
Wow that's not at all my point. A poster seemed to state that CB had drafted K. Moore, and I simply said that he was an FA, not a draft pick. There was no hidden meaning in that, just stating a fact. I actually like CB.

Roman Wilson is tough 4.39 WR who had an excellent senior bowl week. Might be a good 3rd rounder for the colts
I really like Roman Wilson, but due to his size I think he is probably a slot receiver in the NFL. Josh Downs is our primary slot receiver, and potentially a good one. Therefore I don't see Ballard drafting a slot receiver before the 5th round, and Wilson will be long gone by then. JMO, could be wrong. He is a baller though!

Anyone know anything about the rest of the te’s left. Maybe we could find someone to replace MAC in the second or third
There are several potentially good ones left, just nobody with a resume anywhere near B. Bowers. I personally like Theo Johnson a lot, but several Ballard types will be available in the later rounds, such as: Cade Stover, Ben Sinnot, Jared Wiley, Tip Reiman (all of whom I like) & more. I would be surprised if we drafted a TE before round 4 or 5 though.

I think he was implying that if the wr isn’t better than pierce no reason to waste another second round pick on wr
I guess I can kind of get that from the post, but if so, then why did he quote me? I mentioned that there are lots of good players left, and he replied "But are they better than pierce." Would that logic apply if the colts 2nd round pick was a safety, CB, OL, etc...? Maybe I misunderstood the post?

I’m kinda wondering if Irsay is * at Ballard for not doing whatever it takes to trade up for MHjr!? Now, we just got to settle for a low end draft wr that is only psquad worthy!
Only practice squad worthy? So if a WR isn't picked in the 1st round they are only good for the practice squad? Or maybe I am misreading your post?

What does that have to do with anything? There are other positions than WR. Our offense wasn't bad last year, with a backup QB, and our defense needs help.
Is it WR or bust for you? Even if so, I bet 4 years from now, looking back, some of the 2/3/4 round WR's will outperform some of the 1st round WR's; it happens a lot.
I personally hope for a defense-heavy draft, with a few choice offensive players that fit our scheme.

I personally like this pick, but never thought CB would draft him b/c he has short-ish arms. Maybe Ballard is evolving???

...Doesn’t seem to be a very deep class after this first round.
I've heard & read the opposite. Ultimately nobody will know for a few years.

...He doesn’t like Ballard nothing wrong with that but the twisting to make sure you can hate on him that’s been done is a little over the top for me.
I’ll admit Ballard has made lots of mistakes and I can understand why some are tired of him. I just find it hard for people to be mad at him tonight, he got the top defensive player on their board at 15, gave up nothing to do it, and got maybe the second hardest position to find in football to boot. On draft night that’s a home run in terms of value at 15...
Well, his username is Boo. That seems appropriate!

He did that with Kenny Moore did he not?True but that's a bit different as he was an FA, not a draft pick. K. Moore originally was a rookie UDFA with the Patriots.

IIRC doesn't TJ Watt generally line up on the right side? If so, that would be a huge mismatch against Freeland. Maybe Braden Smith would prefer to wait until next week to return lol?

Coward....
Really? You think Shane Steichen is a coward?? That's a bit much IMHO. I'm sure that you are much bolder than he will ever be lol.
Maybe he just sees things a bit different than you?

... Of course, the 2006 AFC Title Game being down 21-3 looked bad. I was nervous watching that one lol. That was for all the marbles, I knew we would beat the Bears.
Good times! Here's a re-post of a write-up about those 2 games:
I watched the 2006 AFC title game at a small restaurant in Bangkok, Thailand, while enjoying copious amounts of excellent Thai food, crappy Thai beer (ugh, Chang!) and crappy Thai weed. Ordinarily I wouldn’t have scheduled a climbing trip to rural Thailand during a post-season run. However the Colts had limped & dragged to a spot in the playoffs, looking tired and very, very beatable. This, combined with heart-breaking playoff exits in prior years when we seemed to have much better teams, led me to think it was fine to schedule a last-minute flight to nowhere.
The day before the game I had found a restaurant with satellite TV. Nobody in Bangkok knew anything about the game, but despite major translation difficulties I managed to get them to promise to show the ‘American Football’ game, if I showed up with some cash.
The first half of the game I was obviously not happy with the results. The Thais, typical of the culture, tried to cheer me up. However throughout the second half I was visibly very excited. The Thais, always happy to celebrate, were getting into it with me, despite not knowing anything about American Football. By the end they were cheering louder than me!
The victory presented a challenge though; I was due to be boated in to a rural climbing location the next day, with limited connectivity to the outside world, and wouldn’t be back to civilization for a month. But there was no way I was going to miss my Colts in the Super Bowl, even if I was on the moon, so I went about searching for a solution.
A few days before the Super Bowl I found a beach-side bar, way on the other side of the bay, that agreed to show the big game. Of course the kick-off was at 6am Thailand time! Knowing the locals were often on ‘island time’ I was nervous that the workers would party all night and oversleep, thus negating my long-awaited Super Bowl.
The morning of the big game I woke up at 5 am, walked down to the beach, and hiked & waded across the bay to the Railay Peninsula. I had barely slept the night before, due to both nerves about the game & my partaking in the all-night beach parties. I stumbled groggily up to the bar a little after 6am, just before kickoff. I was not the only patron; in addition to a few few sleepy-eyed workers there were a handful of old, large Europeans (including 2 huge guys in Speedos) all of whom were rooting for the Bears! Boooooooooo! I may have started as the only Colts fan, but by the end of the game I had the Thais on my side, and we were all cheering away! It was fabulous!
Those were two of my all-time favorite Colts games. It was a unique way see these games, but not how I would have planned it. If I had thought we would go to the Super Bowl I would never have booked that trip & risked not being able to see the games. And in strictly a football sense, it would’ve been more enjoyable to watch the game in familiar surroundings, amid a sea of Colts fans.

Great memories! I had talked several coworkers into watching the game with me at a bar. They all left (even my girlfriend!) as the beat down was pretty bad. I stayed & ended up screaming my head off, all alone, jumping up & down, as the only person left at the bar. The next day I made sure to let everyone know what they missed.
Good times! Thanks for the stroll down memory lane!

Some of us hate this draft. Our hole got deeper in my opinion.
That is the most predictable part of the draft! I'm not on here as much as others, yet before the draft even started, I knew you would hate it.

Well one more pick, anyone think we go OL?
I wish, but starting to doubt it. We had the worst OL in the league last season. Why wouldn't we try to improve it?

I had hoped we would draft Iosivas with a late pick, but the Bengals got him. He seemed like a Ballard type.

I loved the way this draft started, but IMO it's going downhill fast. Does ballard not realize how bad our OL was last year???

Kwity? Yes or No on the Option. ** Update pg 2. Option Exercised**

Interesting! I had guessed the opposite based on his size/measurements. Thanks for the info!
As for the topic question, I say yes! That price isn't that high for a DE. I think he takes a step up this year & next.
