While I hate the drama bug visiting us this off season, this feels like a story we have seen dozens of times it’s just that it’s our fanbase’s turn to deal with it. There is of course a bit more nuance with Irsay’s comments added and Taylor’s agent making this seem like a publicity stunt for his own gain, but at its core this happens to teams at this time each and every year.

God I hope we don’t lose any of them 🤞

That was indeed pretty great Ngl. Thanks

To be honest we won’t really know for several months what we’re really lacking but I do think It’s fair to acknowledge that we are somewhat gambling with OL, CB, and LB. I’d say that if hypothetically this turns out to be a great draft class then our three biggest needs are a playmaking TE, an elite WR and and an elite pass rusher (if we are comparing ourselves to championship caliber contenders)

“ He's feeling good She's feeling good We're feeling good, yeah Just hanging out Just having fun We're number one Just hanging out Just having fun I'm a dude He's a dude She's a dude We're all dudes, hey”

Yeah, I’d go A- on paper. I liked the players we chose, we got some high upside depth pieces as well. There’s a ton of athleticism on this team. But the knock, I guess, would be that it’s still a gamble. For the O-line we are gambling that the high paid veterans there take a step forward and the athletic draftees will push them for a role. The QB is an obvious gamble. But frankly it’s a gamble worth taking. It’s all on the coaches now to develop these guys into reaching those ceilings. regardless, for the organization this feels like a big win. I think all these moves will help inject some excitement back into the fanbase early.

Dude I’m so with you on your energy level here haha. I’m loving this draft. 1. QB with serious potential. Check. 2. Trade back and get more picks. Check. 3. Get a corner who can be a starter. Check 4. Get a WR who can have an early impact. Check. 5. Get some O-line help. Check. 6. Inject our team with more youth and depth. Check. But that doesn’t even cover the fact that the guys they got were all guys I like and none felt like reaches. Who knows how this will all pan out. There’s no saying anyone can’t be a bust. But this is about as a good a draft on paper as I could have hoped for.

This draft has been so dope.

Man oh man. Checking the boxes. Trade downs, got a player I like at a position we need. Good times.

I really like the first four picks and don’t have much issues with the sound of the other guys either. This kind of proves the thought that even with trading back we can’t fix everything. Because my only concerns is if we have enough weapons for Richardson. But I do think protecting him and helping Taylor with a new OG still helps our offense a lot. We also could use depth a LBer imo.

Voted with the top results (I didn’t vote for Young because I just don’t see if happening). I personally want Richardson and I full accept the risk. But the upside is wild and frankly, as a fan, this guy will be so fun to watch. but I think we’ll go Levis. He also has a ton of upside, has a great arm, and can honestly run quite well too. I’m not really too sure why but he does just feel like a guy we would want, especially since Ballard is a pretty conservative guy. Levis is close to if not already pro ready. frankly I would be fine with any of the top 4 projected guys. If Stroud falls, then I wouldn’t blame the team, I think we could do great things with Levi’s, but Man, Richardson is exciting prospect.

Yeah, this is kind of how it looks to me too when I try to compare. Which frankly I like a lot out of Richardson. You never really know but I feel he is built to handle more abuse than the other two.

I personally really like it, though I still hope we trade back in the second to get two thirds and then don’t have to wait until 4th to address one of the big 3 (WR, CB and OG)

No participation from me this year but just want to pay my respects to Gavin! I always really enjoyed his insight and was one of the most vocal but analytical voices in the draft threads back when I joined the forum. I could definitely see him as a key part of the excitement that got me to stick around voice my own opinions every year. I haven’t forgotten him and don’t think I will. I love that we still honor him.

I’m personally sold. Not that I don’t have questions… He might need a year to develop, he needs to improve his accuracy a bit. But this guy is about as good as a developmental project as you are gonna get and and the Day 1 starters will probably be gone. We have the coach to develop him, we have the need, we have the QB to start while he works his butt off. I say trade to 3 and be done with it.

Doesn’t matter because we’re getting a TD here.

HAH!

Well, the Colts are undefeated this season. xD

Yes, most silly indeed, Sir

Bruh.
