We NEED TE and LT BUT Dean is falling and is a plyer, put him next to Leonard....hard to pass on that

Filled all 3 needs...quite a night.....

[DiogoSales]

WR/TE/OL

 

Nice!

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Ballard should be speaking in a little bit. 

[TaylorStillTruckedYou]

Really good draft and off-season after a slow start "Picasso"

[Hark]

Addressed WR, TE and LT. Very well done, Mr Ballard.

[Solid84]

Good pick. Like it. Definitely a need!

[IrsaysArmy]

Looks like Ballard did some magic tonight. 

[DaColts85]

I like the picks overall. Went for pure athletes. Stuff you can’t coach. 

[coltsfan_canada]

Yes Yes Yes

Good night fellas Chris Ballard has filled all our needs. 

 

WR

TE
OT

I’d like to take a shot on David Bell here but we won’t. 

I have seen his projection as low as 6th round

[cdgacoltsfan]

I love Ballard!!!!

[holeymoley99]

We can def draft bpa tomorrow.......

[Moosejawcolt]

Older prospect but has upside because of how new he is to football and how smoothly he moves on the field. Strong hands that are very accurate. Lateral quicks are lacking. OT was major need. Could add strength. This is tremendous value. (Chris Trapasso)

It’s kind of sad. Sometimes a guy is just good at football.

Has there been a run on QBs? Is Ridder still available?

Atlanta took Ridder with the 73rd pick, right after the Colts selected TE Jelani Woods.

Bell is an odd case. He catches every thing but he’s a bit small and SLOW . But plays faster than his numbers show. There’s also the selfish side of him too. I’ve seen some mocks with him as high a mid 2nd and as low as you say, 6th round. 

[holeymoley99]

Willis is falling hard, Dean as well (medical)

[Shive]

I could see us possibly trading up into the back end of the 3rd or early 4th to take Woolen. I think he fits the trend of drafting these athletic freaks that need refinement and he was a top 30 visit of ours.

Didn't they say Marvin  Harrison  was slow?

Woods has the physical attributes to become a good NFL TE.  He needs to work on his blocking and route running but at 6'7" 250 pounds and good speed he could be a nightmare for LBs and safeties to cover.  The Colts might have a good NBA basketball team at WR and TE now.

I like the  pick. The only thing is this. I cannot think of any pass catcher making an impact in the NFL at that height.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Now we have hopefully a solid starter and backup at LT.

Yea.

There’s been a couple near 7 ft that made some big impacts. But I think it’s been a while

He's not that good. Very long  delivery and very raw. Not a good combo.

[Lancer1]

IIRC, they said the same thing about Jerry Rice but one thing was for sure - if he had the ball and you were chasing him to the end zone, you weren't catching him!

Selfish?  Living in W. Laffayette for a few years usually humbles folks.

exactly what i wanted, a good competition at LT between Pryor and a promising prospect.

Honestly, I can't think of a 6 foot 7 inch player. I know Steelers drafted a wr at that height and he failed years ago.

Just a blurb in a report I saw on him a week or so ago. Mostly centered around him not playing in their bowl game.

I admit even I'm surprised he has fallen to the 4th, but much more surprised that Corral has as well. So much for all the draftniks who insisted "teams will reach for QBs!"

[AKB]

I feel like guys that are that tall have their knees targeted a lot.  I feel like that was the main issue with Mo when he kept getting injured from the knees down.

Harold Carmichael from the Eagles in the seventies and Calvin Johnson from Detroit are two names that come to mind but you are right, it is rare to see a pass catcher with that kind of size.

Carmichael from the Eagles was like 6-8 or 6-9, he’s in the HoF
