   Drafting Braden Smith might be the most underrated move of Ballards tenure so far. Smith came in as a 2nd round rookie who had to change positions and he's been really good.

 

 Nelson is a total beast.

 

I'm looking forward to watching Okereke make a leap forward in year 2.

And let’s not forget that Darius Leonard NEARLY also made thus list.  He’s 24 today and for a few more mo this.

 

But he turns 25 in late July (7/24).

 

Close, but not quite. 
 

The Colts are getting younger, more talented,  and more athletic.  Everything you want thus team to be.

I totally agree they’ll be fun to watch.

I agree, it has definitely been slept on. Starting to get some respect though.

 

Leonard pick is right there with it, but because he gets more pub, I'd agree with Smith.

Hey Leonard came out of nowhere and blew everyone's expectations out of the water and we've all been raving about him ever since, he's a great player. Smith is quietly becoming an above average RT and very few people are even talking about him. I think he deserves more credit.

I think the scouts who watched him in college would beg to differ about him coming out of no-where.

      Trade for Marston Lattimore

      By Nate! · Posted

      I would but would want a deal where it was a third round pick, but couldn’t see Saints doing that.  Woukd have a high end CB and still have our top two picks

      With the Next Pick drops Tonight!

      nice     Edit:   Also both the trades mentioned here pretty much followed the draft value chart.     Talking trading up to #38 from #44 and offering a 4th   Difference in #38 and #44 is 60pts(avg 4th round value)   Ended up trading up to #41 from #44 for a 5th.   Difference in #41 and #44 is 30pts(avg 5th round value)

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

      Our defense will never be GREAT as long as we play * defense by having corners 10 yards off the ball on 3rd and 3. And an unbelievable unwillingness to blitz more than 4 times a game. And also, it doesn't matter who is in the secondary if the front seven can't stop the run(we can) and get to the passer(we did ok getting to the passer, but we need more blitzing from lb'ers). Our first pick should be an offensive lineman like Fuaga, Powers-Johnson, or Barton. Then target a receiver like Polk, Pearsall, Washington, Corley, or Roman Wilson in the second or third rounds. As much as I would like to get Bowers I just don't see it happening. And we need a very good linebacker to go along with Speed and Franklin.

      Yeah, could very well be. I think I remember Ballard said he did it to have more flexibility when asked. if it is Paye, I would rather see him play out the year before extending.

      The idea of DeJean going in the late first round is due to his instincts and overall very competent play in nearly all aspects of DB play.  Cover 3 FS is more valuable, IMO, than a cover 2 FS.   Contrast DeJean's overall RAS and talents with Hooker, who was only good at being a single high deep guy...especially his rookie year where he picked off bad QBs for a while...and DeJean at 22 or later with a 3rd round pick gathered from a trade down is a much better decision than Hooker was at 15.   BTW, Blackmon had the same ACL injury as Hooker and did well as an overall S as a rookie, but wasn't a single high speed guy, and is probably still a better overall S now than Hooker is in DAL...both having the exact same injury years ago.
