Ballard waits to get his guy at QB in the 2021 NFL Draft in this mock. There's a chance he may want to give Brissett one more year with healthy and talented playmakers around him at WR to see what he can do. 

 

Round 1 Pick 13: Derrick Brown, DT, Auburn 
Round 2 Pick 2: Henry Ruggs, WR, Alabama 
Round 2 Pick 13: Mekhi Becton, OT, Louisville 
Round 3 Pick 13: Cam Akers, RB, Florida State 
Round 4 Pick 13: Antonio Gandy-Golden, WR, Liberty
Round 5 Pick 12: Logan Stenberg, OG, Kentucky 
Round 6 Pick 11: Alton Robinson, DE, Syracuse 
Round 6 Pick 13: Amik Robertson, CB, Louisiana Tech 
Round 7 Pick 13: Nigel Warrior, FS/SS, Tennessee

Swap Brown for Kinlaw because I highly doubt brown makes it out of the top 6. I would also pick nearly any other position outside of linebacker to take in the 3rd round. Way to high for a position group where all 4 backs on the roster have contributed heavily to our top 10 rushing attack. I am glad to see you on the Gandy-Golden train though!

So my problem whenever people say “wait until next year to grab a QB”, is that it doesn’t make any sense. Too much uncertainty. Who are we waiting for? Trevor Lawrence? In all likelihood he’ll be the 1st overall pick. Justin Fields? Likely goes somewhere in the top 5. Unless you want the Colts to tank (which they never would) then it doesn’t make sense for them to wait for QBs they might not get next year.

Agreed.    
 

There ARE some nice prospects at QB that can be had later

 

They might work out.   Or not

 

You have to play the QB lottery to have a chance to win

And I think this year is the year to play. We have a pick at #13 and at pick at #34 that you can package to move up if needed. Now is the perfect time for the Colts to take a swing.

I doubt our kicking and injury woes (knock on wood) would be the same next year, and we may or may not pick in the Top 15 again. I believe the talent assembled right now plus new talent added will put us in the 20s at least next year, so make hay while the sun shines.

 

Having said that - Ballard has had the fortune of picking in the Top 15 3 times in 4 years (including upcoming draft) and has Malik Hooker and Quenton Nelson to show for it, a mixed bag for now.

      Colts have the 15th pick in the draft. (MERGE)

      By Indeee · Posted

      I'm going to respectfully disagree here. I think, regardless of what the fans might think, their lack of FAs and re-signing all our own means the Colts believe this team is truly capable of making waves in 2024, being only 1 play away from a playoff birth/division title.    I think they believe that they are a couple pieces away but clearly need a top skill position wideout to pair with Pittman and Downs. Every pick after that is fillers, depth, and/or less important needs in their minds.    You could wind up being correct but I'm sticking with my trade up scenario where the only way I'm wrong is that we find out later, the Colts could not find a trade partner or that the trade partners really wanted to much in compensation.   I'm sticking with Colts trade to with Chargers and take Nabers at pick 5.

      What is Chris Ballard MOST LIKELY to do in the 1st Round of the 2024 NFL Draft?

      By w87r · Posted

      Latest update not encouraging? Where's that at? Wasn't in that article.     Everything I have seen, has shown some athleticism has already started to come back.     I posted a couple rehab videos somewhere a month ago or so.   He is already dunking and looked very quick on take off and on his straight line running.   Can't remember if there was a change of direction in the the video but I think there was that as well.     Saying that, I think we still bring in a CB, but everything I have seen has been encouraging in regards to rehab.

      Steelers picking at No.20 probably want him to get past Bengals and Jaguars so that they can draft Adonai Mitchell, so could be an article blessed by the organization too

      I think we stay at 15, hope Bowers is there but dont think he will be. With latest update not encouraging that Flowers will be ready seems like Corner more likely to be taken over WR.  First round corner paired with Brents with Jones first corner off the bench should yield better results then last season.   ttps://www.aol.com/cb-dallis-flowers-rehabbing-achilles-084056300.htm

      I think the draft falls this way:   1) Bears: Caleb 2) Commanders: Daniels 3) Vikings (trade with Pats) Maye 4) Cardinals: MHJ 5) Colts (trade with Chargers) Nabers   Reason for my top 5 is that I think the Patriots really like McCarthy, coupled with the Brady/McCarthy Michigan thing plus the Pats need more player help, it makes sense for the Pats to trade back to 11 but still be in front of the Raiders and Broncos to get their QB   Colts trade up reason: I think the Chargers need O-line help as well as other players like WR, however I believe the Chargers can still get a top LT at 15 and WR late in round one or if they trade back into round one which I believe they will attempt to do in this scenario. Plus, the Harbough Indy connection makes this trade likely.   Even if the Commanders take Maye at 2, I still think the Vikings trade up and then grab Daniels. Pats take McCarthy.   I think this is the year the Colts finally will mortgage a little bit of the future for the wideout. I'm going to stick with this. I hope my gut is correct here, we'll see.
