2016 NFL Draft Thread

Good pick. Will be a great center for us. Still need to upgrade our putrid pass rush.

[2006Coltsbestever]

I love it! Kelly is the best Center out there. His length at 6'5 and smarts are really Great. Well disciplined, a 4.0 at Bama and is 300 Pounds. If someone bashes this pick they are reaching and I want to hear why?

Jack, Lawson, Billings...? Nope a center

Safe pick. You know exactly what you're getting with Kelly.

If the reports were true that the Jets were trying to trade up ahead of the Bills, I'd be highly upset  if the Colts didn't field the call and strongly consider trading back.  But Kelly is a good pick

Yeah.  The Jest would have been the perfect landing spot for the Colts.

[BigQandTheManiac]

BTW I like the pick though.

 

[21isSuperman]

I can't see anyone complaining about this pick.  Sure, there are some good pass rushers still available, but protecting Luck is a huge priority, and this pick makes sense. 

[NewColtsFan]

 

So pleased.    Protect Andrew,  and help with the running game too!

 

And now we can spend most of the rest of the draft building the defense.

 

I'm fine spending our 2, 3, 4, and 5 on the defense and spend a 7 on a RB.

 

Build the defense!!

 

[krunk]

I can deal with the Kelly pick and there seems to be a good chance there's some good ball players slipping into the second round.

[LJpalmbeacher2]

Good pick Griggs. Position is solidified for the next decade.

[Zazeeqo]

Dont know what happened to BPA but satisfied nonetheless

[wig]

Kelly is like a 60 degree day of a pick. Should be a really good player for a long time. 

[jvan1973]

I hope they draft an IT guy in the second that can keep the site from lagging when ever there is more than 10 people on line

doubtful but there have been a lot of surprises already

Lawson looks slow on the ESPN highlights.

Lawson to the Bills

I was thinking the same thing, it got to the Colts pick and the site just crashed.  The front office might want to invest in a few more hamster wheels to up the server speed.

[BigQandTheManiac]

Scary pick for the bills

[Saturday Luck]

Love it. Manning/Saturday is now Luck/Kelly.

 

Getting graded nationally now as well: http://walterfootball.com/nfldraftgrades.php

jets should take lynch 

[Hoosiernsavga]

Great pick and definitely a safe one with Kelly. We went from having one of the worst centers in the league to one of the best with the pick!

Luck and Kelly sounds great to me

@Nadine can we let IP know?  The site completely crashed before the Colts came on the clock

[BOTT]

Lawson looks slow

[21isSuperman]

Jets....Lynch?

Yeah that's what I've been doing

 

[21isSuperman]

Lee is one of the more underrated prospects.  There's no buzz about him, but he's a very solid player

[2006Coltsbestever]

I love our pick. Yes I want Defense but there are still potentially 3 or 4 Pass rushers out there we could get.

[coltsfeva]

I think we will appreciate this pick more as time goes on. I heard so many "experts" target Taylor Decker or Conklin for the Colts and I shake my head. If Goode and Thompson/Reich  pan out, Kelly could be the missing piece.

 

Now we need a ILB or OLB.

I thimk they might go Darren Lee?

[krunk]

Seems like Billings will be available in the second round. Although I think we will be looking for a pass rusher.

I almost feel like it was done on purpose to prevent people from spoiling the pick, it crashed right before and came back right after the pick

 

[chad72]

Love the pick on its own merit. Kelly is an example of compensating for past failures at that position by spending a high pick. 4 years it took for us to get our center of the future and now we've to compensate for Werner somehow. Let's hope Myles Jack or Noah Spence falls all the way to our 2nd round pick

 

[stitches]

Bittersweet - like the pick but my favorite prospect was on the board(Lawson) ...

Billings could improve the pass rush from the middle.  That's something the Colts have never had for as long as I can remember.

[weslo1812]

I didn't think we'd go Kelly but I'm happy with pick for sure!!! We get a center who has the physical ability and the mental ability along with being versatile. An anchor for us up front that we needed and he could really make a difference for us. Now I want DEFENSE though!!!!

[NFLfan]

Very good pick for the Colts. Vikings fans on our thread believe this is Grigson's best draft pick (outside of Luck, of course).

 

My Vikes are coming up. My guys Karl Joseph and Sheldon Rankins are gone. I want Doctson but Houston may take him. I don't mind getting Jack for an all-Bruins LB corps. We've been dreaming this and it may come to pass. Still want Doctson. 

[BigQandTheManiac]

Watch Myles Jack, Noah Spence, and Jaylon Smith all get picked before the end of the round.

[Defjamz26]

Ragland falling.

[Bluefire4]

No one should be complaining about Kelly with all the crying going on about the offensive line.
