Same. I thought you announced Torrence before I heard it on NFL Network but maybe not. Sorry.

Oh no problem, I always like to see some Mel Kiper early but overall pretty close in quality. Wonder what viewership numbers nationally are ?

It would be tempting. 

No it wouldn’t because you are inviting a QB controversy and even in the best case scenario where him or Richardson works out you are wasting a top 100 pick which is just dumb when you have as many needs as the Colts do.

Have not done as much watching positions other than QB this year, but they seem like reaches compared to consensus boards. 

 

I thought so too. It seems that a lot of top talent have dropped.

Hi Tom! You like your draft picks? @TomDiggs

 

 

I have to admit that I thought the 2nd round went as well as possible for the Colts

 

Everyone knew they had to get a CB or two this draft. And knew it was a deep draft at CB but some really top-notch guys were falling.

 

I had a very, very slight preference of Ringo to Brents.....but Brents was always, always, always the more likely Colts player w his traits.

 

So you put him in a secondary where he can be coached up by Milus and i think its a fantastic pick

 

To get an additional 4 and 5 just for moving down 9 spots is killer.

 

I still would like to see another CB and then interior OL and slot WR help.

 

But we are loaded in mid round picks with (2)  4s and (4) 5s

 

That is a lot of dart throws for Ballard and team and also those 5s make it easy to move up in the 3rd if someone we have high is lingering.

 

Happy so far

hmmm would you give two 5ths for Hopkins…

I guess... I would prefer for us to invest into the future and young players more on the timeline of Richardson, rather than for the now. We are not competing this year ...

It's possible the return would be much lower than anticipated. For example Amari Cooper went for a 5th last year... 

That’s true plus I guess he won’t have many suitors since he seems pretty set on moving to a contender at this stage of his career

    • I gotta say you make arguments that you’d never accept from your students because they’re so superficial.      So saying Ballard has been mediocre to bad is tissue paper thin.  Why hasn’t Irsay fired this mediocre to bad GM?  Because he signed off on what Ballard did each year in real time, not after the fact.   Irsay knows Ballard has an eye for talent.  And as Ballard freely admitted in January, the Colts haven’t had more success because he failed to get the QB right.  These aren’t excuses, but it IS badly needed context — which you’d realize if you weren’t always looking for new ways to hate on CB.      As to what you and Moose “supposedly said”  there’s a simple way to verify.  Go to the Day 2 draft thread of Friday April 26.  It was between 3a and 4 my time when I saw it.  I believe it was recent.  Just add 2-3 hours depending on your time zone and you can see your conversation with Moose.   What was so astonishing, what makes me “prattle on” as you put it is how you two ever thought you were right?!?   Given your career choice you jumped to conclusions I’d like to think you’d never accept from your students.   Why you thought Ballard didn’t know more?  Why you thought you two knew better?   Ballard not only knows more, he knows dramatically more.  As I said in another post, he shared the tip of the iceberg.  He doesn’t share the part of the iceberg that you can’t see.  The 90 percent.  The absence of curiosity is stunning given your occupation.    Now, at the bottom of your post you brought up a new line of attack on me and I have no idea what you’re talking about?   I’m not an optimist?   Since when?  Based on what?   In my 12 years here, only 1-2 posters have ever made that claim.   So what are you talking about?     Finally….   You can stop calling me Sir.  It’s normally said with respect.  You don’t respect me at all.   I’ve extended olive branches publicly and privately, and both have been rejected.  Your choice.  So calling me sir is intended as an insult.   It’s old and boring.   Move on.   I don’t know why you “enjoy engaging with me”.   You take a beating.  But if that’s what you’re in to, be my guest.    Sorry this went so long….       
    • He loves you, you just don't know it (sarcasm) 
    • Cubs actually won one - beat the Giants finally.
    • Jared, put $50 on the Lakers to win it all. They are getting +4000 odds, you would win $2000, if you lose, you lose just $50. Hear me out, those odds will drop bigtime shortly because I think the Lakers will make a huge move to bolster their roster.    LeBron wins his 5th tying Magic and Kobe, Lakers tie Boston with 18. Perfect ending because LeBron looks like a hero + he just beat Kareem's record too. 
    • So….  You’ve been absent 7-10 days (more?) and you’re back looking to start not one, but two fights!  Okie-dokie!      If you want to call me names — fine.  I’d simply respond that my knowledge is counter-balanced by those who THINK they know a lot, but clearly don’t.   On to your other post.  That one is longer, and so will be my response.
