  1. Chargers-Patriots trade: 34th and 137th for 37th and 110th. Falcons-Cardinals trade: 35th and 186th for 43rd and 79th.
  2. True, but getting a bunch of late round picks is not going to change that. Don't know what they got in return here.
  3. Donโ€™t know, the whole college system is weird to me lol. I hope Latu is what we need, because our pressure numbers were pretty low. Heโ€™s the best shot at improve those numbers though.
  4. You have no idea, lol. ๐Ÿ˜‚ I thought: There's something about Latu you just can't pass up, but Ballard will go for athletic upside, so Turner. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ
  5. Yeah I was thinking that too - it may just be a case of him being better than everyone else at this level. Edit: Dammit, I'm out of reactions for the day, lol. We haven't even gotten to the draft thread yet. Sheesh.
  6. Well, looking at his RAS you'd think X, but PFF has him with an ADOT of 15.1 in 2023 and 15.7 in 2022 which I don't think really matches with what you'd expect from a typical X? I think he's intriguing, but I'm not sure he has the speed we want.
  7. I like Jalen Coker as well. He's not as speedy as Franklin or Gould, but then he also has 30 lbs on them.
  8. I think they've overestimated how much better players get with coaching. I mean, a lot of these guys have been playing football since they were kids and have been coached since then. If the light hasn't come on by the time they get to the NFL why should it all of a sudden happen now? I'm not saying it never happens, because there are numerous examples of it working out, but if a guy has 5 years of college football experience and he's still just relying on being hyper athletic (just an example).... Anyway, let's not let this devolve into Ballard grievances. Go Latu, go Colts!
  9. This I feel has been his biggest flaw as a drafter and I'd be REALLY happy if they start valuing production more. Hope it's a new trend. He also said they had 4-5 guys with true elite grades and Latu was one of them. Edit: Ballard also mentioned they have a good relationship with Chip Kelly (HC UCLA), so they had a lot of inside information on Latu - explains the lack of meetings.
  10. I could see a Ryan Flournoy on day 3. He's one of those RAS guys.
  11. True, but he's a YAC monster and I'd love to see him as our returner. We do need a guy behind Downs since McKenzie walked.
  12. I LOVE the Latu pick! He's going to make a difference day 1.
