Ravens are found to match anything any team would offer.

So we would take a guard at 4 lol.

I think people need to calm down.  Look it up. Teams that have traded to thr number one pick....its not pretty because that team is picking out of desperation.

Ballard has been too busy working out a deal for lamar

 

No, people don’t understand that trading for Lamar is equivalent to trading about 4 mid- 1st first round picks given how valuable our pick is. 
 

I would do it in a heart beat if we picked No. 15 or lower.

 

If I’m Tennessee, NE, Washington, TB, etc, I’m doing it.

My main issue with the Panthers jumping in front of us is that it creates a situation where Ballard will essentially have to be smarter and seeing something that two other teams (possibly three if someone trades with the Cardinals) are missing in order to come out of this draft with our franchise QB.  

 

History from the past 6 years has shown things don't usually end well when Ballard has tried to play "smartest guy in the room" instead of being aggressive to make something happen. 

 

Rationally, I would be more optimistic about the selection if we had our choice of the top 4 rather than being at the mercy of other teams selection or Ballard's supposed unique evaluation skills. 

 

But, who knows, maybe his thinking all along was not to select a QB unless a specific one fell to us and he will go BPA at 4,see what happens in the draft next year.

I actually agree with you on this post. Jeff George, Michael Vick and Jared Goff are the picks used on teams trading up to 1 on a QB. Vick was electric as a player I’ll admit, but history generally isn’t on the side of the team who trades everything to go to 1.

I really don’t think Ballard can survive putting off QB when we are sitting at four. You realize how bad that looks.

He'll be a LT. Even with those short arms. Lol

He is going to be a guard and that is what scours project him as.

I feel bad for Shane Steichen today. He just got a front row seat to the Chris Ballard show and it’s a snoozer. 

I would hope Steichen agreed with this decision. But who knows.

For all you on the edge and slinging mud at Ballard over this trade, perhaps you can answer this. When was the last time a team that traded up to number 1 overall and took a QB, was led to the super bowl by that QB?

 

Does Eli Manning count or John Elway?

Yeah I agree. I hope we go Anderson at 4 (if available) now, and Hooker at 35 (or in a mini trade up). That option I was discussing yesterday is now a possibility.

So Ballard should just sit back and wait for hooker then watch another team draft him before 35.  You guys act like he will just be there at 35.

Yep! Burrow had that one good season at LSU and the Bengals screwed up and drafted him. 

 

Burrow basically only had one season. Redshirt, injured, transferred, National champion

Ballard will do what his boss tells him to do and Steichen will tell Irsay who he wants.

Frank will pray on it then tell his GM who he saw in a vision.

I'm betting it is Stroud.

That's great. If he's so pro ready, what's his record vs the SEC? How many 4000 yard seasons does he have? How many seasons does he have throwing more then 20 tds?

 

You seem to have another reason for disliking this guy. 

 

What are you thoughts on this trade? Should the Colts move up to 2 or 3?

2 is out of the question. No way the Texans would trade with us. 3 I guess depends how much the colts like whomever is left between Young, Stroud, and Richardson

Okay. Why do the Colts have to draft a QB? Why not draft another player like BPA?

 

(I'm moving this away from Will Levis bashing.)
