If it takes Andrew more time to shake the rust off. Would you be ok with the selection or not? Impressive stats the past few years and had a great senior bowl week. I just remember Jacoby taking some hits last year and surprised he got up from a couple. Don't want to be left in the Scott tolzein era again.

I like both Mike White and Luke Falk (Washington State).  I think both will be around in the 3rd round, and maybe even into the 4th, if you cross your fingers.  (Just say No to Tolzein)

 

I like Luke Falk as well at the top of round 3. He will not last till round 4.

The same Phillip walker that couldn't beat out tolzein or Morris. No thanks

 

When you're an undrafted free agent rookie QB, you're not supposed to beat out a 7 year veteran -- even Scott Tolzein.

 

Walker is in competition for the 4th QB spot.  That's all.  He could easily get beat out by whoever we sign this year as an undrafted free agent.

If Luck is not ready for the season, and JB gets hurt in game 1, then you've pinned your hopes on Kaaya, who fell to round 6 and is no longer with the  Lions.  So I looked again-

 

“Sources say the reason why Kaaya slid was a combination of bad tape and questions about his personal makeup. Teams felt that Kaaya’s junior year tape was very shaky, and as a result, he was graded in Day 3 for many. Kaaya demonstrated poor vision and mobility, which led to a lot of taken sacks. Teams also felt that Kaaya lacked leadership skills, and all teams want leaders at quarterback. Sources didn’t like that Kaaya was very focused on his draft standing last fall rather than being focused on winning the next game for his team. All of those factors combined to Kaaya being a late sixth-round pick.”

 

Give me Lauleta, White, or Falk please.

I doubt we'd spend a 2nd on him either but we're bringing him in for an interview/workout. So I think it's pretty clear that Ballard is at least considering drafting a QB.

 

I could see us taking him if he falls to the 4th or 5th though, especially if we get a couple extra picks in a trade back.

I suppose Ballard might consider spending a 6 or a 7 on a QB who somehow slips down the draft a few rounds.

 

That's possible.

 

But spend a Day 2 pick on a QB?      No,  I wouldn't think so.

 

All that terrible writer that ColtsBlueFl found is not only known to whoever wrote that,  it's known to all GM's, including Chris Ballard.   And yet, at the first chance he got,  Ballard signed Kayaa late last year.    And,  Kayaa is still on the roster.    Maybe the kid has grown up.    Maybe the kid has done better. 

 

I think the chances of Ballard spendig a Day Two pick on a QB who might never play a down for the Colts is pretty close to Slim and None.      Late Day 3?     Possibly. 

 

I think the first FIVE ROUNDS are spoken for.

 

Is a rookie QB going to be much better than Brad Kayaa who has been in the NFL for a few years?    I don't think so.

 

If you're on your third string QB,  you're pretty much screwed anyway.    We're not giving up a potential starter for a guy who might never play a down.     I don't see that happening.

      Chris Ballard on Pat McAfee Show about the draft

      By Restinpeacesweetchloe · Posted

      There won’t be anyone to sign if they want that long. But they will probably see what happens in OTA. Personally I don’t think colts have a time line. They are on diggs and Simmons schedule. It’s up to them when they feel like signing.

      Colts select Adonai Mitchell WR Texas (Merged)

      By Two_pound · Posted

      I watched the Kansas St.-Texas game from 2023 today and Mitchell was outstanding in that one. One long td(47 yards), another long reception(37 yards) and he had excellent blocks on CJ Baxters' 47 yard td run and two other excellent blocks that sprung runners for huge gains. If you had only watched the first half of that game while scouting Mitchell and saw nothing else you would have taken him in the top 10. That is how impressive he was in the first half of that game. I'll add this also, when watching Texas games from last year watch Mitchell BLOCK. I'm no scout and I don't watch 100's of hours of film, but from what I've seen of him at Georgia and his one year at Texas I don't know how he fell to number 52. Welcome to the Colts Adonai, I hope you burn up the league this year! Go Colts!

      I was referring muscle-wise not his actual weight. Compared to the start of the season where imo he looked smaller, I think he added a lot more muscle

      But he carries it well.   Honestly I doubt he’s that big now….   One would think he’s in good shape now that he’s being active for the first time in roughly 6+ months.     Im just thinking out loud….

      CJ also made comments about being glad he wasn't drafted by Indy and how Indy is boring. I know he has the nice "humble beginnings" story, but he's making himself feel like a villain early. You don't want to annoy people that might be your future coworkers or employers. It's a bad look.
