I'd lose it if Danny Shelton fell to us!!

Don't think it can't happen.  Between his 5.63 at the combine and some recent skewerings by popular analysts, I could see him as this year's Sharrif Floyd in that regard.  In 2013 he was at DT projected to go 3rd overall by the Raiders, who traded down and Miami chose Dion Jordan at #3 (OUCH!).  Floyd fell all the way to Minnesota at #23 and he's turned out to be a pretty good player.  As fate would have it, we drafted Werner at #24.  The knock on Shelton is his lack of speed and the idea that he'd only be a 2-down player for a 1st round pick, but if you want to stop the run, there's a good starting point.

Yes, but I don't see him falling all the way to 29. If he falls into the 20's and Grigson really wants him he may have to move up a few spots to get him.

      pretty much my thoughts.  I would like for us to grab Simmons.  Impact vet who could come in and perform.

      To the bolded, it can definitely matter who signs someone first if both GMs are interested in the player. The issue is, the public usually doesn't know if a team that doesn't sign a player was interested in him because the GM isn't going to publicly admit he "missed" on a player. However, it happens a lot more than people think.    We see it as Adams didn't want to play here or some other reason, but it could have been Ballard didn't offer enough. That's been a pattern for a long time now that's repeated itself and Ballard has admitted that he places a price on a player and won't go over that. So a big possibility is Ballard is just cheap and players are signing with other teams for more money.

      The only one I really want is Simmons and he likely doesn't want to go through a camp as he doesn't have to. It allows the team to have a better feel what they have. If the staff is concerned and he's available then I think it's an option

      Nelson: AR is a freak

      Maybe at a pro level but I’m guessing they battle the same issues. When you lose weight it’s never just all muscle or all fat.  The three years I played I would lose at least 10lbs through the season. Wasn’t able to lift like I did in the offseason bc something always hurt. Nearly half of the weeks were mostly stretching and cardio trying to let the body heal.

      Im not expecting anything from the Colts ant least in the short term.  Assuming the Colts are even interested in either Simmons or Diggs I think those guys will wait for camp and an inevitable injury.  That will motivate teams to up their offer.   And that would — in theory — include the Colts.   I’m not expecting anything from the Colts until Aug 1 at the earliest.      I’d like a signing, so I hope I’m wrong and a quality signing happens sooner than later.
