It's not difficult to see why a team would pass on the guys available at 26. All have question marks.

 

If the Colts don't really love any of them...which obviously they didn't...there is nothing wrong with the trade. Especially considering the Colts also have the 34th pick coming up.

 

Time will tell who is right but calling the move "dumb" is a heck of a stretch. 

Its dumb until proven otherwise all I can say is he better hit on those second rounders.

"In other words, a team could trade a fourth round pick in 2017 and reasonably expect to receive a 2018 third round pick on the market. A current fifth is worth a future fourth. No one really wants future seventh round picks because they hold almost no value.

This valuation of future picks is a representation of time value of money, which means that a draft pick now is worth more than the same draft pick in a future year."

 

What do I win

 

Ballard just mentioned in his press conference that he liked picking up a future 2nd.

 

You better send him this article quick. I don't know where he came up with his logic for assessing the trade value of draft picks but it must not be Pats Pulpit. He needs to understand how to properly value these future draft picks before another trade like the one made tonight is made.

And the people complaining sound like toddlers.

 

We should just wait and see how it turns out, but nope, it's draft night, so of course the forum is full of :HFire:  :HFire:  :HFire:

I LOVED the trade down. Was praying Ballard got future picks since they are worth more next year and we can "stack" drafts. That's how you sustain winning.

Anyone think we take DK now with three 2nd round picks?

I hope not.  I don’t get the hype around him.  Honestly, if they go WR the guy I hope they get is A.J. Brown.  He reminds me some of Reggie and I think that’s what the Colts need to go with TY.

Not an argument.

I get the impression Ballard wasn’t really in love with anyone there.  This is what you do if you aren’t in love with a guy when it’s your turn to pick.

The trade back is solid. I have a feeling we will select an OT with one of those picks in RD 2.

That’s where I thought Ballard was going earlier this week when he talked about the LT spot.  He seemed to be hinting AC isn’t the long term answer there.

Picking up AJ Brown and Chauncey Gardner Johnson, or Juan Thornhill in Rd 2 would be real solid. If not AJ then my boy Paris Campbell or Andy Isabella.

AC is 30. Of course he isn’t the long term solution.But getting someone to develop that can take his spot in a couple years is smart.

After the job Ballard and his scouts have done so far I'm surprised at all the belly aching.  We will tear up the second day.... Just watch.

As soon as I saw trade down, I knew what was coming. The entitlement astounds.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMET:

 

 Maybe we should at least wait until the draft is over before we start getting so emotional that we start turning on each other...... WHOOPS......: too late!

Yeah that doesn't work here

Say the Colts come out of this with the following:

 

34.  OT - Ford or CB Williams or CB Murphy 

 

46. S - Rapp or DE - Winovich or WR - Brown 

 

59.  CB - Love or CB - long or WR - Bonkin 

 

plus have a second rounder next year?  

 

I think most would have signed up for that at 26, 34 and 59 without the trade.

    • One of the great things the NFL does is getting people to believe they aren’t rich.   The league made 17 billion dollars in 2021 in revenue.  The average NFL team is worth 5.1 billion dollars.  These guys aren’t broke or strapped for cash.  They can afford these things.     For what it’s worth Holder is reporting that the Colts made the decision not to go after Sneed and then gave that money to all the guys they re-signed last week and had they gone after Sneed it would have been as the expense of some of those guys, specifically Kenny Moore and perhaps Grover Stewartt which tracks with Kenny at least being the last of the group to re-sign.  Physical money wasn’t the issue.  The Colts simply made a choice.  
    • Who has the best RAS score?
    • Frankly the whole Grigson era turned me off of making all the bold moves people want.  He would and they almost always blew up in the Colts faces.  He was saved by the fact he had Andrew Luck and he was just too good to be bad.  Ironically I think if Ballard had had Andrew Luck for his whole time as GM we would be looking at another golden era of Colts football and it would be have been interesting to note both came with the philosophy of build through the draft and reward your own.  Oh well if ifs and buts were candy and nuts we’d all have a Merry Christmas.
    • In 2015 the Colts were considered winners of free agency. Granted there were a few good signings, but we haven't been the same since. Ever since then, I've been completely fine with not signing free agents. 😅
    • Feels like a good time to issue a reminder.  Two years ago, J’Ville spent a fortune in FA.   That was the year they surprised the NFL giving the little WR, Kirk 4/72 which had incentives into the $80’s.   And J’Ville went on to have a good season.    Many here showered the Jaguars with applause and wondered why can’t the Colts do that?!   But here’s what they forget….   In the 10 years BEFORE that one, no team spent more in FA than the Jaguars.   $1.4 BILLION dollars.  That’s billion with a B.  And I think they had one post season appearance to show for it.  So most years Jacksonville “won” free agency and they had almost nothing to show for it.    So when @GoColts8818 says the “winner” of FA typically doesn’t have a very good season, he is correct.  It was his comment that triggered my memory about Jacksonville’s lost decade.  Thanks, GC!
