  1. I think we may be thinking about sitting at 15 and taking Worthy.  Apparently, he put on a bit of a route-running show at his pro day.  Anyone who thinks he’s just a forty time (a Willie Gualt-like receiver) is mistaken.  After all, he was considered an early 2nd back when his scouting reports merely referenced “very good” speed…

  2. My favorite fit for the Colts is Max Melton, CB,  Rutgers.  RAS score is 9.65.  4.39 forty.  40.5 vertical.  I thought he looked really good at the combine, and he was considered the second best CB at the Senior Bowl.  Plus, it seems like Ballard likes a minimum of 32 inch arms, and he’s one of the only early CBs in this draft to meet that.  
     

    His scouting report reads a lot like a faster Kenny Moore II - scrappy, very good in run support, and can swing inside or out (though, he’s mostly been a boundary corner).  Also, great football intelligence and instincts.

     

    If we wanted to target him in the 2nd, it would enable us to trade down in the 1st and target any WR we may deem Worthy…;)

    If Holder is to be believed, and I know some here don’t and that’s fine, he reported Ballard did try to get Hunter and had interest in Sneed dating back to the combine but they lost out on Hunter and decided not to go after Sneed after he was tagged.  After that happened he pivoted to a different plan which was to bring back his own that he wasn’t going to do, particularly Grover and Moore.  So it sounds like Ballard did try to do something different this off-season and it didn’t work out.  Will what he did work?  No idea.  All I can do is watch and see and react based on what I see.  

    Who are you referring to when you say "Hunter"?  Is it Refrow, or is there a cb named Hunter that I can't bring to mind?

  4. Man, I’m more on the fence this year than I’ve been in many seasons.  My problem is that I’m torn between targeting CBs Mitchell or Arnold in the 1st or trading down and targeting Melton in the 2nd.  We need to have a premium CB corps in our division, so we need to do one of those things IMHO.  I just think that Melton is a great value in the 2nd and has the arm length and athleticism Ballard likes.  (Arnold lacks the athleticism and Mitchell lacks the arm length in the 1st.). Problem is: it just takes one team to like Melton as much as I do before we’re screwed, since I’m not a huge fan of the CB depth thereafter.  Maybe the answer is to trade down in the 1st and take Melton there.  It would be considered a reach, but so were Leonard, Freeney, Sanders, etc.
