Chap on who he’s hearing the Colts were trying to go up and get last night:

If only they had a draft pick they didn’t waste on a guy who isn’t going to play for at least three years before the Colts…

He doesn’t like Ballard so it didn’t matter what he did that was going to be his reaction.

This is also considered a very deep WR draft going well into the second round. Some are just stomping their feet and throwing a fit because they didn’t get the position they wanted tonight and it shows.

Or he knew around 11 or 12 one of the guys he wanted was going to be there at 15 and just decided to let it play out. I do agree with you he was swinging for the fences trying to get one of the big three WRs. Just didn’t work out, hopefully this is one of those sometimes the best trades are the ones you don’t make cases. I think WR is going to be one of the options tomorrow but so will corner, safety and perhaps DT or LB depending on what’s there. They need a running back too but I think that comes later in the draft than tomorrow.

I’ve been saying and I am going to stick to it I don’t think the Colts are planning to move on from MAC. They clearly like him a lot more than fans do.

The Colts last three good WRs have all been found in rounds two or three, Downs, Pittman, and Hilton. Before that it was Garçon who was a late round pick and Collie who was a mid round pick. You can find WRs all over the draft. It doesn’t have to be a first rounder like Marvin and Reggie were.

There is going to be a guy there at 46 that will help the Colts. The question is do the Colts stay at 46? I think it’s highly posable they move back a little and get an extra pick or two.

Had to be they got the top defensive guy on their board.

Bowers only went a couple of spots before them so he wouldn’t have required a big offer to go get so yeah I think it’s safe to say it was one of the WRs. Clearly it wasn’t one of the tackles or QBs so that only leaves the WRs really.

Since Mathis really.

Well they got the top guy on their defensive board since he was the first defensive player taken so yeah that makes sense it would have been for an offensive guys, had to be one of the WRs. Didn’t seem like teams were as willing to trade out like some thought they would be. Most of the trades we saw tonight were very small moves. There was no one going up more than a handful of spots.

I don’t really take that from that quote. I mean I also don’t expect Paye or Dayo to be moved this off-season either. I just think both will need good years to be retained and nothing from that quote changes my mind, especially since it’s come out Latu already works out with Paye and others on the Colts dline.

Lots of good corners and a few good WRs still there and that’s not including linebackers and safeties. Colts should be in position to get another good player to fill a need tomorrow.

Bills moved back one spot. Probably have two WRs on the board they like so move back one spot and get another pick.

Unless he was going to way over draft Worthy there wasn’t much he could do about that. He’s not the GM who traded with KC to let them get Worthy either.

It was reported he works out with Paye and others on the Colts dline. They probably didn’t need to meet with him and frankly probably didn’t think there was a chance he would be there at 15.

You got your wish! Hope you bought your lottery ticket today too lol.

I mean he made a post to tell people he was leaving. There is no reason to do that unless you are being sensational and wanting attention. If you want to leave just leave. That’s what most people do. Oh well. 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. Will Latu work out on the field? Time will tell. No one can answer that tonight so calling him a bust or proclaiming him a great player tonight is pointless and impossible to prove.

You and me both. Some just work really hard at being unhappy and then want others to be unhappy with them.

pretty safe to say the Colts knew this guy.

He let his first ever draft pick leave after four years. He doesn’t just automatically re-sign all his high picks.

That means not complaining about what Ballard did which is what this poster was going to do regardless of the pick. Pretty easy to tell if you read the poster’s posts. He just wants to rail on Ballard so fine rail.

I mean he was the top defensive player on their board who fills maybe your biggest need on defense. Sitting at 15 you just make the pick if that happens. Sometimes it’s best not to over think things and not get greedy.

That’s my point, this pick tells me that I think they are going to let Dayo walk. Dayo was supposed to be the pass rusher of the two ends in that draft. Paye was known for not being a pass rusher when he was drafted and was known for doing everything else really well. What you’ve seen in the NFL is pretty much what you saw from Paye in college.
