I was big on Trask but did more research and I'm not big on him anymore. He plays bad against good competition and will most likely fall to round 2 or 3

I could see Trask falling.  Jones would be my preference between the two.

Nelson isn't going to LT. If he was all world, the move would have been made in college. Interesting that everyone critisized the Chargers Oline last year. Rivers leaves and then enters mobile qb. Rivers needs to go. He is what he is. Jags and Texans have franchise qbs, if Lawrence pans out. Tannehil does his jobs. Getting 11 wins is going to be very tough if we go in with the same team. I would prefer to take a step back next year, new qb, to take a step forward for the future. I thought they should have done it this year. However, Ballard thought he had a superbowl team. He traded for Buckner and signed Rivers. People laud Ballard , however, I feel he values his own picks to high.

Really?

I don't support Q going to LT but I'm not ruling it out as stop gap possibility

Would u say Allan, Mahommes, Rodgers even Tanehill play behind elite offensive lines? Crap, the Browns have an elite Oline and I dont think they are all high picks. When is the coaching staff going to develop players on both the D and O line? I am not seeing it.

You're oline assessment is invalid.    You have called Kelly and Nelson average this season.

Why would ND move Nelson to Tackle when McGlinchey was the left tackle.

If Nelson was that good, they would have moved him. Is not LT the 2nd most valuable position behind qb? Move McGlinchey to guard. We are going to see teams tee off on Rivers this year without a LT. Wont b pretty

You just said they need to draft a CB and not focus on the OL 1st but now its a priority?

Pretty sure they will field a LT this year.   I don't think they are gonna roll with 4 starting olinemen

LT is a priority. I would love the coaches to develop one rather than having to always use our top picks on the Oline. 

Braden Smith is a converted guard and gave up zero sacks.   Glow was a Seahawks cast off.   Pretty sure they have been developing the oline just fine.

Wouldn't all these trade possibilities be assuming that there are guaranteed elite / franchise QB's in this draft? most the player being talked about trading are pretty outstanding players that have been the force that has elevated this team. Unless you can trade to the Jags I doubt the risk is worth the trade ...

The Colts will have an easier time prying Watson out of Houston than the top pick from the Jags.

Kelly was when u consider his monster contract. I was wrong on Nelson. That being said. I think Nelsons best year was under the Oline coach that got fired

Rodgers had 3 lineman make all pro teams. All the remaining teams have good lines. Mobile Qbs with bad lines don’t work. See Ravens, Eagles, Texans..etc

Yes, both Nelson and Kelly played good but both were playing way better the season before. There was noticeable regression.

I disagree with this.  First the pass protection from the line was even better over last year.  Second I think run struggles early in the year were product of a rookie running back and lesser running backs than Mack not the line.  Once things slowed down for Taylor the run game was every bit as good as it was last year, outside of the Bills game, and most of that running came behind Nelson and Kelly.

They did finish the year stronger but they both started a bit slower. Their PFF grades reflect this also. I agree Taylor did get better as the year went on and that wasn't just on the line his timing and vision came into a rhythm for him peraonally.

    • I think I need to clarify something…,  I’m NOT suggesting Irsay isn’t filthy rich.  That the Colts aren’t sound financially.     All I’m saying is that from time to time the Colts might have cash flow problems.  Life as a small market team.   Nothing wrong with that.  The Colts do this (The “0” singing bonus) for a reason.  It benefits them.  And I think it’s smart business.   That’s all.   
    • I don't believe any of this post-hoc spin. He took less to play home. And even if we did believe it - OK... he did take less. What about the 100 other FAs we could have gotten?      This is exactly it... it feels like Ballard is not proactive... he's grabbing to the status quo and holding onto it for dear life. Like the status quo has actually given us anything to brag about? The Texans let go of one of their best defensive linemen... to replace him with a better one. The Chiefs let go of one of their best receivers... to replace him a better one... Those are teams that are not happy with what they had(and they were better than us) and tried to actually improve. Could that backfire? Sure. But at least they are trying to compete. What are we trying for?    I wasn't the biggest fan of the idea of giving record setting contract to Sneed while also giving up significant draft compensation too. IMO you should only do that for elite players and as good as Sneed is IMO he's not quite at that level. But with that said -yes, there aren't many high level FAs remaining on the market. Because while other teams were busy chasing the high level FAs, Ballard was busy giving 14M contract to a backup nose tackle and resigning his PED implicated 31 year old starting nose tackle 40M contract.  I wouldn't hold my breath quite honestly. With the OL there was precedent of them being great previously. With this DL there really hasn't been. We've been at the bottom of the league in creating pressures and affecting the QB for years. And the personnel will be the same more or less. A lot of people putting a lot of hope into the new DL coach. I liked that hire too, but you have to give the guy something to work with and apart from Buckner the rest of the group has never been more than... solid, and in a lot of cases much less than solid.    Yep... it always comes back to this... hoping our draft picks will pan out. The problem with that of course is that over the long term most teams in the league have about the same success rate in the draft. And while other teams use all avenues to improve their team(draft, trades, FA), it seems like Ballard has resigned himself to the draft. He will draft and live or die by it. He's just too stuck in his ways and too stubborn to make any significant changes to his approach.  That's the problem with Ballard. It's never exactly doom and gloom. I am never worried with him that this team will be horrible and hopeless. I worry that it will be mediocre... forever! Which it has been. He gives you just enough hope for your to think "maybe this year... maybe this guy will get better... maybe this draft pick will pan out", but in reality we are just treading water.    Yeah, Sneed could have been good for this defense... oh well... 
    • He turned out to be very good, but at the time of the pick, I thought we could have selected other players, as we were in desperate need of defensive players. But Addison played very well, better than I expected.
    • You don’t like Jordan Addison?   I thought he had a very nice rookie season for the Vikings?   
    • Before Werner Houston took Dwayne Hopkins and after Werner Minn took Rhodes.   Werner was the turd between two very good players, one a potential Hall of Famer.
