First of all I know this topic will get so much hate because the lack of draft picks the colts have and knowing how edge and OT is a bigger need but I just got a gut that this scenario could play out. I think no one saw last year for the trade up for Taylor in the 2nd round. But DeVonta Smith reminds me of a scenario like last year.

 

I have a gut feeling if DeVonta Smith falls in the mid teens I could see this being the time Ballard trades up in the 1st. Not saying I want this to happen. I just know how everyone speaks so highly in Devonta and how much he loves football and his character is off the chart. Also in Ballard's press conference he said that he thinks there are 4-6 difference makers I wouldn't be surprised if DeVonta Smith is one of them and how he also referenced saying their not afraid of making the move up if that player is there.

You could say that about a lot of players projected to get drafted high, not just Smith.  I assume if any of those 6 players fall there is a possibility of a trade up.  Not sure who would be the most likely candidate though.  Maybe Darrisaw since it was reported the Colts virtual interviewed him several times.

Agreed but DeVonta has been the one I've been seeing the most falling in mock drafts. I do agree with Darrisaw though. That could possibly be one as well

If he gets anywhere near us then I would be looking to move up. 
 

I would move up for 2 players; Ojulari or DeVonta. 

Ojulari will easily fall to 21. To trade up for him would be dumb. We're the first team that would be interested in him at 21. Devonta I agree though.

I disagree 

 

Cowboys Giants Vikings Raiders and Dolphins could all take him

I disagree with most of those. Cowboys are going CB most likely, Giants are interested in Paye if anyone, Vikings are the one team that could, but they are probably going O-Line there, Raiders like a few LBers and O-Lineman, and the Dolphins are all over the place.

 

I haven't seen any mock drafts take Ojulari before 21 to the Colts and I've read 100s of them. We also don't have a 3rd this year. It would be a HUGE waste to trade up to take him. He'll probably make it, and if he doesn't, that opens up another O-Lineman or CB most likely.

      Update: Charges against Drew Ogletree dismissed with prejudice (merge)

      By Superman · Posted

      The roster page has now been updated, Ogletree is no longer listed as on the exempt list. So my bad, Holder was right.    Good news.

      Ballard pre-draft presser

      Was that the only good receiver taken in that draft? And did they give up multiple picks?

      Ballard pre-draft presser

      By Superman · Posted

      Yeah, I have no beef with MHJ as a prospect (I think some are pumping him up a little too much, and there's some name recognition probably influencing the way he's talked about). It would be awesome to have him on the Colts. But just like every other draft prospect in history, the possibility exists that he will not live up to the pre-draft expectations.    But during the pre-draft process, fans and media start falling in love with players. Terms like "generational talent," "future superstar," etc., start getting thrown around. And now we're talking about a prospect as if he's a lock for the HOF before he's even played a game in the NFL. That's fine, it's fun, we all do it. But that's different from actually scouting, setting a board, and making decisions for the team.   Each of us can point to a previous prospect that we loved and raved about and had them fitted for a gold jacket, but who bounced out of the league within 3-4 years. And the same is probably true for NFL scouts and decision makers. Which is why Ballard's comment today -- there is no such thing as a perfect prospect -- is so important to remember. I'm not against the team identifying a guy they really want and going up to get him, but I hope they're not just doing it with stars in their eyes.

      Would Cincy have made the SB without taking Chase at #5. I got the answer, and it is easy, it is a FAT NO. They would have never got by KC as great as Burrow is. Giving up next years 1st round pick isn't the end of the world to land a generational WR. We still have picks in rounds 2-7 if we did that.

      Isaiah Rodgers to the Eagles (Still Suspended)

      By w87r · Posted

      Definitely was, but essentially all of them received the same punishment initially.     Just thought it was curious, especially right before the draft. Has to put the CB spot for the Eagles in limbo.     Been wondering if Jontay Porter's NBA lifetime ban had any play in the decision.   Rodgers did bet on his own team.
