[Bluefire4]

Not a fan of this one.

[Jackie Daytona]

[DougDew]

We have best nickel corner in league

[Bluefire4]

A lot of safeties are coming off the board day 2. 

[DougDew]

He's a FS now.  But maybe CB has different plans.

3 safety looks, I’m talking about 

[Jackie Daytona]

It'll have to grow on me, but it seems like we're just replacing guys that don't need shoved out the door yet.....

FS/CB with torn ACL ... interesting...

[Riversrun]

Damn good player Chris picked up very good draft happy so far .

[PrincetonTiger]

Like it

[New Zealands #1 Colts Fan]

Loved his highlight tape. Seems he fell due to tearing his acl

[Jackie Daytona]

There will be some cuts we can pick up at OL reserve, etc.

Let’s hope our OL stays healthy. 

[Freenyfan102]

Crap still need a QB

[John Hammonds]

Just to say it - We're gonna threaten/push a safety with an injury problem... with a safety with an injury problem.  Yup.  Ok.

[chad72]

Damn Patriots might get Trautman  

[RollerColt]

Not too bad of a draft for us so far. 

[shasta519]

Two guys I liked in Cush and Lewis just went...damn.

 

Blackmon seems like a big

reach...before you add in the ACL tear. Ugh

[Aces101]

Versatility in the secondary - nice to have.

Its more like CB having vision for the future.

 

I dont think Ballard will pay Hooker his $10m+

 

OR Mack $8-$10m

 

No one is forcing them out the door yet, preparing for their exit.

 

They could be traded still.

 

I just think Ballard will never pay a Safety or RB those kind of cap hits. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

We might of got a steal here. If hooker doesn’t show up this year someone is waiting in the wings. If he plays nickel he could be a backup for Moore.

 

Eason must of bombed his interviews. But with all the FA not many teams need QB.

[Lucky Colts Fan]

They completely glossed over the pick on TV...

[Bluefire4]

Patriots fans still booing Roger on zoom is funny

Yeah, sounds like Blackmon does at FS what Hooker doesn't and visa versa.

 

Great tackler.  Great man coverage skills.

 

Help for the secondary.

[funktacious2]

Lol, yeah, this one was very unexpected. He's ranked 193 on ESPN, so a full 100 spots higher than where we nabbed him, but obviously we had to have seen more in him, so we'll have to see. Admittedly we do need safety depth and I think Hooker is one of the more expendable FAs next off-season. So if we luck out and get a guy who can replace him, then this is worth it. Of course the the worst side is if this guy is a bust lol. 

[John Hammonds]

Three defensive players for the Patriots.  If Tom Brady hadn't left the team already, he certainly would have today.

oh, okay, that's not so bad. He's a guy I never looked into so I was puzzled we took a guy who had been ranked so low at 85. This makes me feel a lot better. With Hooker and Willis, he has time to get healthy.

After Burrow and Tua, shaky QB class. Plus best FA QB offseason in a while.

Ballard loves his underdog picks

@BCoop since you want to put confused looks on my post when I asked who is the player, Why dont you explain to me who the player is. His name doesn't ring a bell to me like Shawn Taylor or Ed Reed.

[Riversrun]

How long to rehab the ACL ? 

[Bluefire4]

I love the toughness Blackmon showed in the run game for sure. Not afraid to get involved there at all.

 

I am concerned with the coverage ability however even with the ball production. His instincts are below average at the moment and he moved from cornerback to safety because he was bad in man coverage.

 

I thought he had some upside, but don't think he was worth a day 2 pick especially with the serious injury.
