Poll: Predicting 2019 Ballard D1&2 Position Picks (draft eve)

[EastStreet]

Just a quick chance for everyone to get on record with their guesses on positions taken.

Will the "experts" be even close to being correct, or will Ballard surprise again.

[EastStreet]

Voted iDL, S, and WR. I think S and WR could be interchangeable though, and will depend on who's out there.

Damned if I know either lol.

One thing I know, some will +, some will moan, some will be happy, some will scratch their head, some will say I told you so. I personally don't care if it translates to a SB in the next 3 years.

Yeah if it's anything like last year, there will be a lot in the "* & moan" category, even more in the head-scratching category (like me), and there will be that one guy that got it right and lets us all know about it.

Same. 

Last year when I heard Nelson, I was stoked (I'm an ND fan and I knew he's very special). The second two picks didn't freak me out or anything, but I did have to go play on the google machine. I knew Smith because I see a lot of SEC football here down South, and have an Auburn buddy.

 

Didn't really know Leonard except for some casual reading pre-draft on big boards. I did think both were a bit of a reach, but I was happy as hell we got a second OL (I thought we would have taken a T), and I absolutely loved Leonard's profile/history after I read it. Didn't know if it would translate to the NFL since he was from a smaller school, but his Senior Bowl effort and game against Clemson helped me to embrace things the more I read.

I'm just ready for this to start!  Tired of all the threads where everyone is guessing and speculating.  I know it's fun and I've learned a lot, but this has been like getting the Christmas catalog (yes, I'm aging myself) 2 months before Christmas.  You can only circle things so many time and fold the corners of pages over so many times...the waiting is getting exhausting!

 

Ultimately, it's up to Santa as to what you get

I am holding out hope that a Mr. Clelin Ferrell is still on the board  when the Draft gets to our spot in first round       GO GET EM MR. BALLARD !!!!!!!!

I loved those catalogs. 

[EastStreet]

So far, trending like I thought. iDL 1st, and WR/S with the next two.

Same with the majority of "experts" out there.

[EastStreet]

The live Mock on NFL.com had the Colts picking Abrams while a few of the good iDLs were still available. I don't see it. Can definitely see a S at 26 if the iDLs are gone though.

Almost did this and then pulled the trigger on an O-lineman with #34. I'm thinking McGary.

I've got my eye on OT Roemer in the 6th or 7th, and G Bars in the 7th or UFA. I'd bet both are starting in 2020

I voted the same. Most likely scenario IMO

So Chris Ballard is Santa? No wonder my gifts from Santa were "reached" on every year! 

[John Hammonds]

I think there's a difference between "Which positions will the Colts like to pick?" and "Which positions will the Colts actually pick?"

I think most are weighing talent level within position groups vs colts need vs what will be there when we pick. 

 

I agree with what Ballard said about there being around 15ish tier 1 players in this draft, and then about 55ish tier 2 guys that are all close. that means that 26, 34, and 59 are likely the tier 2 guys unless one of the top 15 guys fall to 26. the only unknown here is who are Ballards top 15, and how he views the stack from 16-70 tier 2. iDL is likely the position due to depth of this years draft that we'd take at 26, but who knows what might fall, or not fall. WR and S, which most experts say are also our top needs should be easily availalbe 16-70. 

 

 

[EastStreet]

Top 5 thus far

 

32 total picks for iDL (25 1st pick)

27 total picks for S (16 2nd pick)

21 total for WR (12 3rd pick)

 

15 total for Edge

10 total for OT

Every other position less than 10 total votes across first 3 picks
