Because he is undersized as a LB prospect I don't see him going top 10. To me, he is expected to be drafted top 20 at best. If Ballard made a deal with the Bills, he could be had with the 22nd overall pick in my opinion. Or at least right around that spot. The 12th pick should then be used to try and get Quenton Nelson.

Nelson at 12 and Roquan at 22... in what universe?  These are two of the best players in this class.

 

I'd take Roquan top 10 without hesitation.

In what universe is roquan the best or second best player in the draft?

Smith will be drafted top 15 for sure.  He is tops among his position.  Edmonds is the only guy that might be taking ahead of him.  Nelson is also a top 15 player.  If we trade Buffalo for the 2 first's you would be looking at maybe Nelson (12) and then Evans or Vander Esch (22), but this would be somewhat forcing the position into the value of the pick..

Nelson will likely be long gone at 12.   Almost no chance.  He may be gone in the top-5, but certainly top-10.

 

Second, Smith ran 4.5 at the combine weighing 235.   He's not the 225 pounds he was listed in college.

 

In other words,  he's not too small anymore.   The trend on linebackers is lighter and faster.   Smith is now perfect size...

 

And Smith is likely top-15...   he'll be long gone by 22...   please start reading reputable websites! NFL.com is ...  FREE!!

I'd take Roquan at 12 in a heartbeat. Of course if Edmunds isn't there.  And at 22 I'd take Hernandez or Vander Esch.  

 

Having Smith at the Will and Vander Esch at the MLB is my dream... the only better dream would be Edmunds and Smith with Smith having some type of miraculous fall to 22... Lol. And late in the 2nd (another part of the Bills trade) we take Jefferson or Baker and have our 3 linebackers for the next 5 to 10 years.

      Taking a poll on Richardson and everyone's views...

      By RollerColt · Posted

      You’re right. You have every right to have your opinion.    Odds are stacked in favor of failure more than success in the NFL. Sustained winning is hard. Avoiding injuries is hard nowadays for QBs… More than likely due to the odds the Colts will be continuing to search for a QB in the future.    It is what it is.

      How can you watch Colts games with so many injuries to top players?

      By RollerColt · Posted

      I’m sorry you feel this way. I’ve struggled with it in the past. I’ve made a post a few weeks back but it bears repeating:   I used to get irrationally angry watching Colts games. It was bad. It was violent. Looking back, it was embarrassing.   What finally changed for me was seeing the look of fear in my little children’s eyes staring up at me with tears. It… washed away my cares for the Colts. That probably sounds bad, but I no longer care as much about what happens with the team. It was one my entire persona. It was as if my own personal happiness stemmed from the team’s success.    All I can tell you is that at some point you’ll learn to separate the Colts from your personal identify.    There are other things truly more worthy of your worries and stress than a football team. I promise you.    Be well and cherish life. I recently lost a great friend in NC due to the horrible flooding. Life is too short to waste it away fretting over the Colts.

      By Yoshinator · Posted

      I had to start a thread on this that some people may feel is stupid, but it's something that Colts fans go through every year more than most teams it seems. How can you, as a Colts fan, watch week after week, without letting it bother you that so many top players seem to be out every week for us? I couldn't even care to watch last year knowing AR was out most of the year and that Minshew was our QB, yet he wouldn't either be on the team or the starter when AR returned. We had the same issues with Luck a lot, AR is injury prone early in his career, and Taylor is missing time too.    I just can't have fun knowing Taylor is out this week. It hurts as a Colts fan, it hurts as a fantasy player who owns him, it just lowers any level of interest I have when he is the one that is holding this offense together. How is AR supposed to develop when his RB is out like this? All the players that are out seem to be important players like Moore, Paye, Taylor, Ekubam and Brents for the year, and of course whenever we try to run it with AR, he gets hurt.   I just don't see how Colts fans can continuously stay interested when we seem to get the worst injuries to the most important players. Please help me with this. Maybe you guys have a viewpoint that can help me. I'm just so over the injuries that seem to happen to our top players every year, and we don't have a chance to compete or develop anyone. Ruins my fan experience.   Thanks.

      Just reading through the comment there is a lot of bickering.    Honestly any completely unbiased opinion/viewpoint with an understanding of football would say the sample size is not near big enough to make any fair determination of what AR is. However what we have seen thus far health and play on the field is not good, not good at all. By all metrics the only QB worse is Bryce Young.   There solved it

      Update: JT ruled out for Week 5 with ankle injury

      By Yoshinator · Posted

      Well, I'm probably not paying attention to the game Sunday with Taylor out. Besides a small start last week from Richardson, Taylor generally has to carry AR in these games in order to sustain drives. Don't see it happening with Goodson/Sermon. Not only that, it's not even fun in bestballs I have Taylor in where he's out because I can't score points with Taylor. It makes us worse in reality, and it makes my teams much worse.   Lose/Lose.
