Trade with Bills for there two firsts. 12 and 22.

1st round-

12 - Roquan Smith - ILB - Georgia - with Edwards off the board. He can start now.

22 - Harold Landry - Edge - BC - His draft value is increasing fast. While I don't think he's 3 down material like Chubb. It won't take long. Freeney didn't start for Bratske till game 8 or 9.

2nd round-

36 - Isaiah Wynn - OG - Georgia - can't lose but wynn with this pick 

37 - DJ Chark - WR - LSU - better compliment than Moncrief was. Better at routes too.

49 - Okorafor - OT - W. Michigan - excells at pass protection, decent run blocker. Still day 1 starter.

3rd round-

67 - Tarvarus McFadden - CB - FSU - similar to QWilson, not afraid to tackle runners either. 

4th round-

104 - Foloy Patukasi - DT - Connecticut - good pass rusher, hole plugger in the run game.

5th round-

140- Oren Burks - LB - Vanderbilt - I like this guy, perfect will linebacker. Started career as a safety. Most pass defenses by linebacker last year, and he started some games on the edge.

6th round-

178 - Joe Ostman - Edge - Cental Michigan - Do your own homework on this guy. Him and Landry I think we just got our future Freeney/Mathis combo. He's really quick. Stats says he's 245 but at his pro day he was 263. Would've been 1 of the fastest at combine for 40. Best at short shuttle. Led FBS in sacks, and...... Watch his highlights he has one of the best motors I've seen. Alot of tackles across field he chased down. As you can tell I really like this guy. 

7th round - 

221 - Matt Pryor - OL- TCU - Started both RT and RG. Was thinking another WR here, and this guy might be picked in 6th. 

Thank you.

If this could happen, I would be ecstatic. The only thing I would change is McFadden. I'm not sure that he would fit the scheme well from a coverage perspective. I think a guy like Isaac Yiadom from BC would be better with that pick. Overall, very well done and you get a couple of later round guys that I like as well, like Patukasi.

Was thinking instead of Mcfadden and Chalk. Getting Jaleilel, cb out of Louisville, in 2nd. Than maybe St. Brown out of ND with 3rd. Don't know if either would be at that spot, though.

I'm just not a big fan of St. Brown as high as he's being projected these days.. He has the physical attributes, but I don't feel like he actually makes plays on the ball enough. He is also mostly a body-catcher and we know what that gets you (a ton of drops). As an NFL WR, raw athleticism gets you pretty much nowhere.

 

I would much rather take a guy like Dante Pettis that isn't as big or fast, but is very polished, catches everything, and gets open based on his superb route running/technical skill.

That's why I originally went with Chalk. With the addition of Ebron we kinda got our big red zone threat. Chalk pretty lenghty too. Honestly didn't as much homework on the cbs in this draft. What I've read and watched of McFadden. Thought he would fall to that spot and be our best option.

Like the draft, but Smith seems to be a Weak side LB, (which is OK) but not MLB

 

I am warming up to somehow getting Landry, but belive he will be drafted in the high teens 

 

Robert Mathis came in at 6'2" and 235 Lbs

 

Landry is listed at 6'3" and 252 Lbs, he also had the best 3 cone at the Combine

 

Landry has the amazing speed that Mathis had

Nice...Would be hard to pass up a running back in the 2nd-3rd round though.  There are a few good ones...

Oh crap, I suck. Thought I had 1 in there. Someone suggested get more than just 2 1st's from the Bills and cause I messed up. They magically gave me a 3rd with it, and I used are pick to get Penny. McFadden should still be available with the Bills 3rd.

Good with the 1st round picks. Not into the rest of the draft. I feel like there are a lot of reaches. 

Only reaches I felt was Pryor in 7th and Burns. Ridley by most mocks is only WR going in 1st round.I could plug Kirk in there and wouldn't be a stretch.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By AKB · Posted

      Chris Ballard, the enigmatic mastermind behind the Indianapolis Colts' draft selections, continues to astound with his unconventional approach to player evaluation. Known for his ability to turn perceived draft flops into valuable lessons in resilience, Ballard has elevated the art of optimism in the face of adversity.   Take, for instance, his selection of Quincy Wilson, a cornerback whose career trajectory seemed to follow the path less traveled—straight to the sidelines. Wilson's ability to excel in the role of 'spectator extraordinaire' brought a new dimension to the Colts' bench, proving that even inactivity can be a form of contribution.   Then there's TJ Green, whose ability to redefine the term 'safety' by providing the opposing offense with a false sense of security is a testament to Ballard's commitment to strategic innovation. Green's unpredictable presence on the field undoubtedly kept quarterbacks on their toes, in excitement.    And who could forget Ben Banogu, a defensive end whose knack for demonstrating the art of camouflage by seamlessly blending into the turf has left spectators marveling at his commitment to environmental integration. Banogu's ability to remain inconspicuous during critical moments showcases Ballard's emphasis on adaptability and the importance of being one with your surroundings.   Ballard's genius lies not just in his ability to select players, but in his skillful navigation of the delicate dance between expectation and reality. His selections may not always align with conventional wisdom, but they consistently challenge perceptions and redefine what it means to be a draft bust.   As Ballard continues to forge ahead, his unorthodox approach serves as a beacon of hope for aspiring NFL general managers everywhere, including those perusing fan forums. Because if there's one thing Chris Ballard has taught us, it's that in the unpredictable world of professional football, even the most unexpected outcomes can be reframed as victories in disguise.   AKB

      Harrison Played Mostly At Safety In Mini Camp.

      He started 14 games at SS in 2019 and started 8 games in 2018 for the Jags.  I meant to post this earlier in the thread.   https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/H/HarrRo02.htm

      Colts Select Laiatu Latu Edge UCLA

      By throwing BBZ · Posted

      The additions of say Taylor, Raimann, and looking back to Leonard could be called important, savy drafting.  Our Colts have been waiting for awhile for a special, difference making player to surprisingly fall to US. Right when we really really needed it to happen, it sure looks like we got two of them. 🙏 for good health.  AR a surprise at 4, not at all.  But
