Still need a running back I think beyond that I feel they have addressed their major needs. Maybe look for the best special teamer with the other pick.

I saw the Colts traded out from 155 and got a sixth rounder for it plus this pick.

Colts challenge Thomas and Denbow for end of the roster spot.

Colts have him listed as a linebacker, here is your cover linebacker.

There is your safety help.

Can also return kicks and punts something the Colts have sorely lacked for a while.

Also a returner, kieper had a third or fourth round grade on him. Ballard is killing the value with his picks.

They also have Jones who wasn’t exactly a bum on the outside last year. They now have three corners who can start plus Moore. That’s a lot by NFL standards.

That’s what you get these kinds of QBs, it’s what those who weren’t all in on Richardson on draft day were worried about. Still he’s who the Colts took so you have to use the player you took and not try to make him into something he’s not. If they wanted the QB who wasn’t going to use his legs they might as well have drafted Levis.

They aren’t going too, that’s what makes Richardson special.

Backup center who can maybe develop into more. Can also play other positions on the line if you need him too. Perfect fourth round pick.

I am guessing it was athletic comparison.

Guys he’s being compared too include Chalk and Paris Campbell in terms of the type of player he will be in the NFL. Should push Pierce for sure.

He’s done this before in terms of getting upset and showing attitude, it just so happens to be that most of the other things were things fans didn’t agree with him on like when he insisted he had no problem spending money so it was over looked.

And then keep falling. He was pretty much the last of the major WRs expected to go in rounds one or two.

Most players that make it to the NFL have had some kind of injury that is a “concern” around draft time because teams look at EVERYTHING. In this case he hurt his toe and had surgery on it and it will be fine. It was an injury it happens. That’s nothing to be concerned about. What you want to avoid are guys who are constantly getting hurt and missing time with multiple injuries. None of the guys the Colts have drafted so far fit that mold.

Pretty much my point.

As do most linemen when coming into the NFL.

Oh yeah Pitt guy. Now I follow. Yeah I am sure the Colts asked him about him.

Picking olineman is never exciting.

Why? He’s an OT not a dline man.

Some need to realize Ballard wasn’t lying when he said he liked the secondary. I get why fans don’t but it’s pretty clear Ballard doesn’t see it as the major need fans do.

No question Ballard has maximized value so far, he’s gotten a guy who should have gone higher than he did with every pick so far.

Sounds like he can play any spot but center. Perfect depth guy who if he had second round talent without his injury can push Fries for the RG spot or if Smith has another injury filled season maybe be an insurance plan at RT.

Draft people seemed to really like him. Had a toe injury that cost him most of this season. Felt he would have been a second round pick without the injury. Can play LT and RT.
