The best news I read today was that two teams ,the Titans and Raiders ,are looking into trading up to the 3rd pick.  That tells me they are eyeing AR because they both have starting quarterbacks on their rosters which is the perfect situation for him.  I’m hoping one of them makes the move.  That will leave Levis and Anderson at our doorstep and I would be very happy with either choice.  AR is the riskiest pick of the top four in my mind so I’m hoping we pass on him.

Well, looks like you are off the Lamar train so you're at least making progress.

Pretty long winded way of saying "I don't know". I think sometimes people are so desperate to maintain the image of being in the know that they're too scared to simply say "I don't know!"

much respect to those who answer honestly, and admit they know nothing

Seems like Brown being at Richardsons pro day may not of meant as much as we think. Turns out Brown was already in the area scouting in the SE. 

 

If Morocco Brown was in the area at the same time as the Florida pro day, that was 100 percent NOT a coincidence.  Brown is NOT an area scout.   
 

His unofficial title these last two years is Executive in charge of Finding Unicorns.  He’s trying to find rare and unique talent.  Richardson certainly qualifies as a Unicorn.   Whether he’s good enough is another story.  
 

So Brown is free to go wherever he wants. Brown being at the AR Pro Day was deliberate.  The only thing we don’t know is what is Brown’s evaluation of AR?   Could be two thumbs down.   Or it could be Brown believes in him.   Or somewhere in the middle.   But Brown’s opinion carries more weight than most.

OR.   he was there to see O'Cyrus Torrence.    And AR15 just happened to be there 

 

A guard at pick four. Hmmm.  Never haha

Brown was at the Georgia pro day. He is the top guy they send outside of scouts. He apparently was already in the SE watching pro days. Now whether he could of went KY and chose not too we don’t know.

I’m simply saying it was not a coincidence.   He gets to set his schedule (I’m sure working with Ballard).   I’m just saying it wasn’t random.   The Colts have a plan and they execute it.   Brown’s opinion carries extra weight.

Why do you think Barstool sports has a good evaluator who does their Mocks?

 

Lots of websites do mock drafts.  It doesn’t mean they know what they’re doing.   
 

There is no one close to Sauce Gardner in this year’s draft.    It was a shock that Ballard spent pick 34 on Rock.   And now you want him to spend pick 7?!?   
 

Why?

I like Porter Jr a lot! I doubt they take him cause QB is a bigger issue.

 

I would think if this happened they dont think highly of the QBs

 

Most mocks even from top experts are garbage

 

I did one the day before the draft last year and only got like 3 to 4 out 32 correct

Interesting. I've heard from a few sources that Levis may freefall on draft day. We'll see if that happens.

If he falls past Minnesota which I highly doubt would you trade up from 2nd if Colts pass on QB at 4

Yes, I did a ton of mock drafts recently, and in a few where I took Anderson at 4, Levis fell all the way to 29 to the Saints before being taken. I would definitely trade up a bit before that and get Levis. Probably trade 35 and a 3rd next year to move up for Levis.

Well, I read the article and it was terrible reporting he said the only starter he knows of is Kenny Moore on defense and that is laughable. He either knows nothing or is an * and or didn't do his homework which is probably closer to the truth.

If that's true then I can see Ballard trading back. But it'll be at a risk because there are a lot of teams needing a young strong-armed QB and we could miss out.

Wait a minute.

 

If Brown was at the georgia pro day I'm pretty sure he was taking a close look at Stetson Bennett.....

That’s because you and most fans judge mocks by the most unreasonable standard imaginable.   Matching teams with the correct player.   The thing is, it’s a magic trick, a party trick.   I’ve never EVER judged a mock by that standard.   It’s a waste of time, it’s meaningless. 
 

Any argument that the worst mock is almost as good as the best mock is your tip you’ve made a bad argument.   If the guy doing Barstool sports has a mock almost as good as someone at NFL.com that your tip you’re judging by a highly flawed system. 
 

The only standard I’ve ever judged a mock is by how many players go in the round they’re predicted to go in by highly informed people.   Every year I get a minimum of 24 correct.  And sometimes as many as 28.  Are the right players going where they’ve been roughly predicted.   Same for rounds 2, 3, 4 and 5.  

 

I think any attempt to argue the worst mocks are almost as good as the best mocks is a nonsensical argument.

    • I almost spit my coffee out reading this a few times, lol!  I love sarcasm and I especially love it when there is some truth to it!  Well played Sir!
    • I guess the whole question is the merits of the report. You report on his diabetes with tons of guesses and speculations and WITHOUT taking the side of the person who's been affected here and who's living and dealing with that condition. You report on the player being uncoachable WITHOUT taking the opinion of his coaches about being coachable or not(and BTW from what I've heard both from Colts and Texas coaches, this is resoundingly NOT TRUE). You report about him being immature and honestly, everything I've seen on the surface suggests the opposite. You report about his combine performance by giving it a pretty harsh reading(the video is in this thread and the account of what happened by McGinn is in this thread... People can actually go and look at what happened and make their own mind about whether the characterization of that workout was fair or not. I will just say you can represent the player stumbling in a drill and going again in various different ways and McGinn chose a specific way to represent it. It was the most negative way you could choose).    You know I had my own reservations about that outburst by Ballard at the presser, but the more I'm learning about Mitchell the more I actually believe in what Ballard was saying and the less merit those reports have in my mind. Maybe I have my own unconscious biases too, now that I have vested interest in Mitchell actually being good for us. I don't know     I guess ultimately none of it matters. AD's success or failure won't depend on some pre-draft reports... it will depend on how he handles himself from now on, how hard he works, his drive to be great and our staff's ability to get the best of him. 
    • if he is healthy and they make the playoffs in spite of, say, Houston being the 1 or 2 seed in a loaded afc, you think Irsay would contemplate firing him? That would mean we took another step forward and AR proved he could stay healthy and play ball. I don’t see his seat being hot in that scenario at all. I see the organization being fired up with that and ready to hit the offseason hard to take the next step forward. 
    • Hmmm.   ”Healthy excuses will be hard to come by.”    Really?   Richardson, who had less than a thousand snaps in college, then had roughly 200 snaps his rookie year.  There’s one.   And Houston has Stroud who had a great rookie year.  Aren’t most media predicting Houston and JVille ahead of Indy this year?  That’s two without any trouble.     I just think insisting on a division title because a fan thinks it’s time doesn’t stand up to much scrutiny.   Sorry, just my two cents…. And often not worth that much.   
    • For me absolutely it does. If Richardson stays healthy excuses will be hard to come up with. As positive as I am with Ballard at some point we have to start winning. He bet on himself by bringing in his own home grown talent this year, what he does at safety in the coming month and a half has me worried as well. We were so close to winning the division last year with a back up QB that my expectation is winning the AFC south this year.    If they make it into the wild card game and lose then the seat is just as hot for me. If they advance further and make a Cinderella run then I’m fully back on board.
