Looks like the Colts will get 2-3 starters from the 2019 class. Willis has been the best pick so far but Oke hasn’t been terrible. He needs to keep working on his game to improve on his deficiencies and he will be alright. The wildcards are Rock and Campbell. One of them will come thru and be a contributing starter. If both work out this is one heck of a draft class. -

Yes, I'm willing to give it another year to really judge this class. I think RYS and Oke can be solid starters for several years to come on this team. The covid offseason didn't help them at all. We got good value from Willis later in the draft. I think we've seen him pretty much hit his ceiling, but he's a solid player and think he can remain solid for a while. Campbell is a stud athlete and has just gotten downright unlucky with injuries. He's a high character guy and a solid worker. If he comes back and can stay healthy, I expect him to be a big contributor to the O. Speed was very solid on STs last year and I expect him to get LB snaps this coming season, especially if Walker leaves in FA which I think is pretty much inevitable at this point. I know there were some rumors last year that Banogu wasn't performing well in practice (well 'Flus said this to the media). I am not ready to give up on him yet, but I don't think he's going to pan out to what Ballard had in mind. Tell looked very promising as a rookie. Hopefully when he comes back from opt-out he'll be on the right trajectory and can contribute again. Green, Barton and Patterson are all still in the league and frankly as 6th and 7th round players, it isn't like we were expecting much from them. Then, let's not forget we got Ashton Dulin as an UDFA that year. He's been very solid on STs and though not given much opportunity at WR, he's shown speed and ability to extend the field. I won't be shocked to see him make the 2021 roster and continue to excel on STs while seeing a bit of an increased role as a WR. -

There's no doubt that 2020 wasn't the best for the 2019 class. Rock, Banogu and Okereke either stagnated or regressed in their development. They've all got big 2021 seasons ahead. Bobby in particular I'd like to see emerge as a quality starting MLB in this league, he has the ability, but his play was mediocre last year. I think with Banogu, Ballard just blundered here with this pick. I think he'd admit that, we saw in the 2020 draft him going for experienced established collegiate stars in Pittman and Taylor. He had the idea of playing Banogu as a hybrid SAM but that never came to fruition, probably because they didn't exactly have a plan or a defined role for him. Now were just have two 3rd down speed rushers (Turay) vying for the same limited number of snaps. So even if Banogu starts improving, he might still have trouble seeing the field. I think if he had any sort of trade value, Ballard would just trade him, or he will just drop him out of the 53, and let someone take him off the roster like what happened with Basham. But hopefully we see something from him this year. Willis as pretty good this year. He is seems like a hard worker and is improving each season. I like him as the starting SS. I was really disappointed for Parris Campbell. In the Jags and opening few snaps of the Vikings games, he looked really good and a big part of the offense. The thing about Campbell is that its not because he is injury prone. All his injuries have been in different areas of the body in different circumstances. Knee, hand foot, hernia,.. just downright rotten luck. Hopefully we get him back and playing at a high level. -

Ok that's a good point man. I'm curious about your opinion on this one. What if you had a guy like Okereke doing James Farrior like things? You've got a good FS. I see both sides of this argument. It's an interesting conundrum. Solid push every single down with a little trickery. Also if you have a solid running game it makes play calling so much easier and whoever you put in there is going to have an easier job. Just theorizing man.
