It's Draft Week, who's your prediction?


Recommended Posts

If I had a bold prediction it would probably be the Colts trading back ( not bold ) and taking TJ Watt (bold). Great character guy who's starting to hit his stride as a good football player. He reminds me a lot of what Clay Matthews was when he came out. A high ceiling with his floor being a long tenured good NFL football player.

I'm thinking some of the most likely likely names to hear call in the first round include (in no particular order):

 

Derek Barnett

Haason Reddick

Jarrad Davis

Forrest Lamp

Charles Harris

 

I guess if I have to pick one and only one I'm thinking Derek Barnett, if he reaches us, seems like a guy we would pick up... I will not be a bit surprised by any of the 5 names above though!

Welp.  Back in March I said Marlon Humphrey, with the question then being would he still be there at 15.  His stock seems to have dropped some since then.

 

With Conley off the board and Barnett and Harris being labeled slow by Polian (thinking other GMs might think the same way...Ballard's EDGE's in KC are speed guys), I don't think either of these two will be drafted.  Since Humphrey's stock seems to have dropped some, I think he'll be there at 15.

 

So after coming off of him earlier this month, I'm back to predicting CB Humphrey.

This has been rolling around in my head for the last week or so.  I think this could be a possibility.

Who is the one guy who, if there, and the Colts pass on him, you will be upset about?  For me that would be Foster for sure.  I just can't see how you let that guy get by.  He's everything the Colts HAVEN'T had at that position in some time.

Reuben Foster. FACT!

This!! No Brainer if he's sitting there for us at 15. Colts gallop to the podium on this one. If Bengals don't take him I think he falls to us and I'd be ecstatic!!

    • He was the 10th WR drafted.
    • Put it this way, your first post in this thread reminded me of your Raimann argument, and I figured it would come up eventually.   Regarding the reaction to Ballard if AD is a good player, meh. I don't think the main implication has been that Ballard played the game so well that he knew exactly what would happen before everyone else, and he got what he wanted. I think the argument is that whether a GM stays and picks a guy, or trades back and picks a guy, if the guy becomes a good player, it's a credit to the GM. Maybe you've interpreted that argument differently, but I think what you've said above is a misrepresentation.
    • LOL. Its not shocking at all if you bothered to understand anything about what my consistent message has been about capital being devoted to positional value...instead of Gs, ILBs, RBs, and goal keeper FSs.  When and if it would ever happen, I'd be happy.  I figured it would happen at some point.     Bust is a term used to describe a 1st round pick that went bad, and GMs should know enough about 1st round picks to not pick a bust.  That's my standard, and opinion.  QBs are an unusual pick, because so much "hope" and consequence is attached to the pick, so busts are going to happen with QBs.  GMs should never whiff on a position player in the 1st round, IMO.     What were talking about here are guys that might play better than anyone figured...which we know because 31 GMs passed on lower round guys multiple times.  The evaluation processes that all teams use....and professional pundits as well....fail to capture that lower round prospect.  So when the standardized process fails to recognize proper value, a team being rewarded with great value can be described as having good luck.
    • It was with McAfee, I did see that interview. I responded to this post with the following response when @RollerColt said something about it.    Just in case you missed this response.
    • For what it’s worth….  Ballard has done an interview in the last day or so where he said he will never make a decision just to appease the fan base.     I believe the interview was either with Pat McAfee or Rich Eisen.
