Ballard wasn't kidding when he talked about creating competition.

 

He drafted Ya-Sin, Willis and Tell to provide competition in the secondary, plus Banogu and Okekere to provide competition in the front-seven.  And some of these guys have position versatility to provide competition all over the field on defense.

 

And Campbell can provide some competition for the offense and special teams.  I can see him lining up out wide, in the slot, in the backfield on 3rd down, returning kicks, running jet-sweeps...

 

Gonna be a great camp this year!

There is going to be some good players cut after training camp. It’s exciting but also sad because some favorites will probably get cut.

 

Yep.  Probably saying goodby to a few WRs that contributed last season.

This is why these types of drafts are what build dynasties.  When you have an entire team of above average talent you have depth. Now you don't need a star player to carry your team your team as a whole is just better than everyone else because they don't depend on a single player. 

 

Loving this draft.  The only question I have is on Ben simply because I just don't know the player (wish I could have seen more players this draft season ..) but if you think Ballard didn't do well this draft I'm not sure what to tell you. We got better everywhere we needed to be better at.

I would STILL bring Inman in to compete, though I doubt he'd come for that.  But I want every WR on the team to be reliable options for Luck.  We're in WIN BIG mode going forward.  Doesn't mean we don't develop, but let's start at least with players who contribute AND develop from day 1!

    • How about getting a proven commodity in the FA market? I know that assumes the player wants to be here, but money talks and the Colts have some. This D needs a solid center fielder. Simmons fits that role perfectly. If he’s gettable, here’s to Ballard pulling the trigger, even if it’s a slight overpay. The team CANNOT leave this crucial position to players who have consistently underperformed in the past (Cross and Thomas). 
    • All - this is the real question.   What do the 32 GMs in the league know that the rest of us (we're on the outside looking in) don't know?   Answer that question and you'll have what you need to analyze the choices made by the leadership of your favorite team.
    • We have the weak secondary where a player in FA can be signed for a year and get a starting job. We also have the money to afford any of them. Not too many other teams have that combination of both factors right now. Also, the draft recently happened and I'm guessing a lot of these teams want to try out their early round picks in the secondary right now. We didn't draft anyone in the secondary until the 5th round. We are somewhat desperate (not to mention Daniel Scott is out for the year again). Other teams are not at the moment.
    • Why do you think A and B are the only options?    What’s the reason for Ballard to be cheap?   What incentive would there be?    Posters like Superman and w87r have crunched the numbers.  The Colts are among the league leaders in spending.     Ballard’s is going into his 8th year.  He’s been competitive in 6 of the 8 seasons and I personally think season 1 was a tank.    Also…. Ballard always says the team is always looking to improve.  It’s now mid-June, so the Colts have 5 more weeks to sign someone before camp starts.  There are a number of FA safeties available.  Why aren’t the other 31 teams signing these players either.  They’re certainly good enough.  But it’s Ballard who is wrong or incompetent or cheap or something and not anyone else.    
    • This is a great story on Mitchell. The part in here where Mitchell explains how much he appreciates Ballard going to bat for him was awesome.
