I don't think it's realistic on draft day, in later rounds. And in any event, it's a guideline, not a fixed formula. Oh well. Getting an extra fourth rounder sounds good to me, and the board wasn't looking that great. I'd have taken Reed, but oh well.

I am with you on Reed...but we all thought he was a top 20 guy...look how far he's fallen...we're either missing something or the dynamics of the draft have been altered because of the stacked defensive line prospects...It's been a really odd draft, that's for sure.

Surprised we wasn't all over Reed. He could and probably should have been a first rounder.

 

Based on what that 31 GMs didn't see, most of them twice?

 

 

Hack!  Poor Jets.

Reed has some agility but at the end of the day I think he is a 2 down player who I would not have touched till day 3. Way to early to draft him for me

The DTs taken thus far in round 2 are really not much different than what we already have.

Not really. It's the difference between a team with 6 picks and a team with 12.

Well, that's part of being a good front office - stack up on the best commodity in football - cheap rookie contracts(draft picks). It gives you maneuverability and it gives you the chance to take swings on multiple prospects.

You don't trade down if someone you want is on the board.

Yes yyou do, if you think you can still get them where you traded down to. It's a little something called maximizing value.

I had this crazy idea in my head that Whitehair and Billings would be gone so the Colts end up taking Nick Martin to play Gaurd/backup Center. Texans must have thought the same thing... not mad though. The forum would have gone ballistic!

None of the DTs taken yet in rnd 2 are really not much different than what we already have.

I'd take Day or Ridgeway here if we go DT/ Both are disruptive rotational D Linemen. Im also still looking at Calhoun and Fackrell

There are more than 6 good players left

nope draft is over after those 6. Pack it up....we have to fill out our team with CFL guys now lol. I'm really intrigued with Alexander. He has some attitude and swag....kinda like our CB we took last year. Might need a year but could put together a nice young core back there.

I don't care that we traded back if we weren't wild about what we'd get....

 

What I care about is that we didn't come remotely close to getting value.

 

We lost 90 points and got back 48.        Not even close to a good trade.

 

We must have really, REALLY wanted that extra 4.    (Sigh....)

    • I guess the whole question is the merits of the report. You report on his diabetes with tons of guesses and speculations and WITHOUT taking the side of the person who's been affected here and who's living and dealing with that condition. You report on the player being uncoachable WITHOUT taking the opinion of his coaches about being coachable or not(and BTW from what I've heard both from Colts and Texas coaches, this is resoundingly NOT TRUE). You report about him being immature and honestly, everything I've seen on the surface suggests the opposite. You report about his combine performance by giving it a pretty harsh reading(the video is in this thread and the account of what happened by McGinn is in this thread... People can actually go and look at what happened and make their own mind about whether the characterization of that workout was fair or not. I will just say you can represent the player stumbling in a drill and going again in various different ways and McGinn chose a specific way to represent it. It was the most negative way you could choose).    You know I had my own reservations about that outburst by Ballard at the presser, but the more I'm learning about Mitchell the more I actually believe in what Ballard was saying and the less merit those reports have in my mind. Maybe I have my own unconscious biases too, now that I have vested interest in Mitchell actually being good for us. I don't know     I guess ultimately none of it matters. AD's success or failure won't depend on some pre-draft reports... it will depend on how he handles himself from now on, how hard he works, his drive to be great and our staff's ability to get the best of him. 
    • Hmmm.   ”Healthy excuses will be hard to come by.”    Really?   Richardson, who had less than a thousand snaps in college, then had roughly 200 snaps his rookie year.  There’s one.   And Houston has Stroud who had a great rookie year.  Aren’t most media predicting Houston and JVille ahead of Indy this year?  That’s two without any trouble.     I just think insisting on a division title because a fan thinks it’s time doesn’t stand up to much scrutiny.   Sorry, just my two cents…. And often not worth that much.   
    • For me absolutely it does. If Richardson stays healthy excuses will be hard to come up with. As positive as I am with Ballard at some point we have to start winning. He bet on himself by bringing in his own home grown talent this year, what he does at safety in the coming month and a half has me worried as well. We were so close to winning the division last year with a back up QB that my expectation is winning the AFC south this year.    If they make it into the wild card game and lose then the seat is just as hot for me. If they advance further and make a Cinderella run then I’m fully back on board.
    • 3 straight losses for the Reds. They have their moments where they play well. But it’s time to be real. They aren’t a playoff team and will never be as long as the Castillinis own them and David Bell is manager.    De La Cruz is fun, but his career will be wasted on this team. 
    • Am I reading this correct?   You think Ballard’s seat gets hot if the Colts don't win the AFC South?  Really?   So if the Colts don’t win the south but make the playoffs Ballard’s seat still gets hot?    Just making sure I understand your viewpoint.
