This seems to be the same thought as many:

"

Guard Quenton Nelson was the surest thing on the offensive side of the ball in this year's draft.

He has the size, strength and experience to dominate immediately at the NFL level, and the Colts needed a player just like him as they try to get back on track by supporting Luck as best they can. 

In the No. 6 spot of the draft, that's an utter steal. "

But, but but he was picked 6th!!  My God what an injustice to the football shade tree GMs.

He could become an all pro and an all start but Ballard should have never taken a guard at pick #6. It's a travesty. :mindblow:

Yes, it was terrible value.  We could have stayed at 3, taken Chubbs, and then traded our entire practice squad for Nelson, Edmunds and a pony that Blue can ride at half time.

Yep, and then we could of used our #3 spot on waivers to pick up ten more players that were dropped and replenish our practice squad, thus getting Nelson, Edmunds, and a pony for free! :)

You can be my GM when I buy my NFL team one day.

What do they mean experience? I get that he spent lots of time cooking up at ND, and is as close to pro ready as one can possibly be...but how do you have experience before you even played in the NFL?

I'm just guessing but the experience probably means against top competition sue NFL type techniques with NFL type line coaching.  We have seen guys from small schools with Nelson's size and strength, we have seen guys with nelson's size and strength but the coaches let them rely on their size and strength rather than coaching them on the finer points of being an offensive lineman., etc.

 

But like I said that is just a guess on my part.

    • There’s been a lot of comments made by Ballard lately that they are always planning a few years out, while the coach is pushing for players that can help now. So it’s a balance. He’s made comments that the goal is to protect and provide weapons for AR. The talent at the top of the draft seems like there could be a couple really good offensive lineman falling down to us, with a run on receivers and skill players. I don’t necessarily see that, I think there could be a run on qbs, tackles, and pass rushers with the obvious 3 receivers before we pick. That could potentially push all corners, as well as Bowers down to 15. But say, both corners and Bowers go top 15, who does that push out? Most likely a talented tackle. They can either trade back or take the highest rated player on the board, which would provide swing tackle depth, and a plan for if Smith is injured/isnt re-signed following 2025. Some are speculating it might be best to move Smith to guard in that scenario. 
    • I don't believe this would ever happen as the price would be much too steep. The only way this is even a remote possibility is if the Pats do not like Maye or McCarthy . Then this would also need the QB needy teams to feel the same as NE . The value of Maye , if he's a franchise QB is multiple firsts. IMO , you can't give up that for a WR
    • Happy Draft Day to the folks who are in Indiana! (And east coast) lol. If this actually happens today I don’t know what I would do. Pipe dream or not, I’m READY for this draft to start! 
    • Kirk did have the Vikings at the top of the division in the 2022 season at 13-4. He was injured last year. Oh well have fun with your new QB.    You act like I don't know Vikings football, comical because I like the team and follow them a lot. You and @NFLfansay Kirk doesn't know situational football. In 2022 he was the best situational QB in the league. Vikings were 11-0 in games decided by 3 points or less. It is because Kirk handled most situations right. You don't go 11-0 in games 3 points or less and not be a smart QB. 
    • Maybe I am the one who will end up with egg on his face but I just don’t get why people think the Colts are actually going to draft an olineman with their first pick.  Nelson and Kelly returned to their pro-bowl playing status.  Raimann looks to be a very good young left tackle and the Colts have made it pretty clear they see Smith as one of the most underrated tackles in football.  They aren’t drafting a right guard in the first round, Nelson was exception, and even then Fries held his own at right guard last year.  They aren’t going to draft a guy who isn’t going to start next year either in the first round.  The starting oline is probably the least of their worries going into this draft.
