So much better talent available.

[colts89]

bad

[TKnight24]

 

[MarquisJ]

I thought there was way better talent available looks more like a reach for need rather then BPA imo

[JColts72]

Very bad, better players on board for d and line.

[danlhart87]

I'm unfamiliar with Braden but Leonard was good pick 

[SteelDragon]

Kind of a reach on both picks. Could have been had later?

easily

[Bravo]

Yikes.  Going for need I guess. Ballard I thought was a best player available guy.

[lance_m8]

I am all for protecting luck but taking landry or guice or Jackson there would've been better than smith

[Colt Overseas]

Good players but i feel we reached slightly as i think both would have been there at 49th overall.

[VaAllDay757]

That smith pick has me confused

[Boiler_Colt]

Love the Leonard pick. Smith pick was puzzling but hes a darn good player.

[CR91]

Love the leonard pick. Had him on my mock, but why another G? I guess we're not sure about mewhort's knee

Unreal how fans say nonsense like this.   I'm guessing you watched zero minutes of either player

[Mr.Debonair]

Cmon people you can’t question the almighty Chris Ballard

[austriancolt]

Leonard is a great pick you will like it. Don't like the Smith pick with James Daniels, Harold Landry, Josh Jackson still on the board.

[ColtsAC]

Ballard loves to show he is smarter than everyone else...ala Grigson.

[BlueCollarColts]

Leonard and Smith are probably instant starters here.

Ballard said he loves Mewhort. No high on Smith tbh.

[VaAllDay757]

Well it ain't looking good for the josh jackson pick or oliver either

[shasta519]

A * day 3 LB and another G...just wow.

No..must fall in company line like big brother..no disagreements...yeah right.

[a06cc]

No the GM knows what he is doing. Trust the process folks please. 

[lance_m8]

would we have been able to get one of them at 49

[Calmack]

Leonard pick is good. Smith is highly questionable. I wanted Guice or Jackson.

leanord was projected to go in the second

[Mel Kiper's Hair]

Smith is a 1st team All American and All SEC. So he must be a scrub! We are bringing in 2 All Americans on the OL Protecting Andrew Luck is going to happen finally! Good pick!

[lance_m8]

I am happy with leonard but smith seems like a reach and ballard was set on Hernandez or smith and Hernandez was taken so he took smith

[backshoulderfade]

Our O-line is going to be huge. Castonzo 6'7 Nelson 6'5 Kelly 6'4 Smith 6'6 Mewhort 6'6

Doubtful on Leonard, maybe Smith? Didn't see a ton of talk about him. He was a 1st team All-American though so who knows.

[SteelDragon]

Smith has played some on the outside. Maybe he's projected at RT

I couldn’t be happier with these picks. Two players I think can make an immediate impact and possibly future pro bowlers 

[Rally5]

Love it, finally serious about building and O Line!

Very good oline prospect, better at run blocking than pass protection,  very strong.

[Steamboat_Shaun]

I’m not super familiar with either guy, but no matter how ya slice it, we just drafted 3 starters in a row, & have another pick in this round.

[MikChiken]

Yeah. They aren’t sexy picks but Ballard is building the o-line for luck. This could be the first year we have a good line. Leonard pick was a reach but he’s a good player with a high ceiling. Trust Ballard.

ESPN said he would be a RT, but who knows.
