Well, they had 28 picks before theirs to see if they could get any trades. And it was longer than 2 seconds. I seem to recall that there was at least a commercial break between when the Bengals made their selection and when the Colts made theirs. I was several whiskies into the night, so it could have been longer or shorter, lol.

EDIT: Meant Lions, lol. Getting my cats mixed up. Maybe I did have too much whiskey lol.

What is this too much whiskey you speak of? There can never be too much whiskey.

I'm feeling much better about this pick after last night's selections. I still fear Brown is going to be another Wilfork for the Pats and I'd much rather have that no matter how good Dorsett ends up being. I do think Dorsett will be excellent and Luck should be the #1 player taken in every fantasy draft now.

Do you know how many 2013 or 2014 first rounders played in the Super Bowl last year?

That's not the point, at all!  It's about upgrading your roster, IMO!  Sure, I'll agree with the standpoint of Malcom Brown doesn't fit our system, or he is overrated, but do you think he would see significant reps and be an upgrade to what we currently have?  Or is Dorsett going to play more this year and have a bigger impact?  I have Dorsett at #3 on the depth chart, so it is likely he will, but that pushes Moncrief down, and we spent a #3 on him last year, in which we had other needs, especially since we didn't even have a #1 last year!

 

I get the future thing and all, but if you have the opportunity to win NOW, you take it, because tomorrow is NEVER guaranteed!

Nobody else had the speed to go alone with the hands that this kid has so I think he was scouts rated him as a late 1 to early second round pick and that's where the colts got him.

 

Best WR is determined by the team and the team alone. Not by Mel Kiper, Mayock or whomever.  If the Colts had Dorsett graded as the best WR then how is someone else going to say he wasn't the best wr available?  That's totally up to the team who pulls the trigger on the wideout.  To the Colts he was the best WR availalbe according to their boards.

Exactly. The Colts, based on their board,  felt that Dorsett will be a far better contributor to the team than the other D players that were available at the time they picked.

      Pick #46/ #82 What's Available Day 2? Discussion

      By Solid84 · Posted

      Don’t know, the whole college system is weird to me lol.    I hope Latu is what we need, because our pressure numbers were pretty low. He’s the best shot at improve those numbers though.

      Deebo is very physical but I think they want more of a take the top of the defense type of guy so they cannot bring their safeties down would you do a trade for Higgins?

      Loved that the colts got to pick the first defensive player in the draft! I would love to see a lb with their 2nd pick!

      The film is just incredible. He beat the blocker and ran over the running back. Just… insane.

      I loved the pick. I had him as a dark horse because of his medical and felt he may slide because of it. Honestly, when it came to #15, he never really entered my mind, as I felt they would pass on him. People asked who they wanted at #15 and in one of my posts, I said a football player. I wanted Mitchell but I also raised the idea of Latua in other posts..  I really praise Ballard for this pick. I said he needed to come away with a play maker and there had to be some amount of pressure on him to do so. Apparently, information is out there that he tried to move up and I also said, I had a feeling this was a year they were going to try and make a move. I give a lot of credit to Ballard for picking the guy who has a lot of production and if he fails, so be it. I also told people on this board that this pass rush was not good enough. Ballard's eagerness to sign Hunter should have been a sign that he felt so as well. I said to watch free agency and it will tell you what their true needs are. He wanted Hunter and Sneed. The rumor is that he wanted to trade up into the 1st and everyone is saying it was probably a receiver. That is shocking to me but once again, I will give Ballard an A+ so far, because he was willing to be aggressive.  I do Steichen is having some influence on Ballard because of his days with the Eagles and how aggressive they are in the draft. I think this shows that he realizes that he needs to have play makers to play with the elite teams and you have to take some risk to get those type of players. I have been hard on Ballard, but he has knocked it out of the park so far. He took a guy with a questionable medical history, addressed a glaring need and a position that is needed to make this defense work. Don't be mislead by last year's sack totals. This team lost a pile of games in the 4th quarter last year because they could not pressure the qb. Now he needs a wr, S and corner. I wouldn't be surprised to see him move up in the 2nd. Way to go Ballard!!!
