No honestly don’t. More just wondering out loud why you’d make a post saying you’re leaving yet… here you are.

 

seems sensationalist to me

I mean he made a post to tell people he was leaving.  There is no reason to do that unless you are being sensational and wanting attention.  If you want to leave just leave.  That’s what most people do.  Oh well.  He doesn’t like Ballard nothing wrong with that but the twisting to make sure you can hate on him that’s been done is a little over the top for me.  
 

I’ll admit Ballard has made lots of mistakes and I can understand why some are tired of him.  I just find it hard for people to be mad at him tonight, he got the top defensive player on their board at 15, gave up nothing to do it, and got maybe the second hardest position to find in football to boot.  On draft night that’s a home run in terms of value at 15.  
 

Will Latu work out on the field?  Time will tell.  No one can answer that tonight so calling him a bust or proclaiming him a great player tonight is pointless and impossible to prove.

What position?

WR. He's a big YAC guy from Western Kentucky.

[TrueBlue4ever]

Very interesting that all we had was an informal conversation at the combine. Can’t wait to hear the scout who championed him. 

[Lifetime Colt]

Seems still many good WR and CB's left for round 2.

It was reported he works out with Paye and others on the Colts dline.  They probably didn’t need to meet with him and frankly probably didn’t think there was a chance he would be there at 15.

Or legette 

I doubt he'd still be there for us, but you never know.

[wordofmouth]

To get a pass rusher like this at 15 is unbelievable! The injury should be a non issue according to the medical experts. 

I love this!

Ballard did mention YAC 

There will probably be at least one more WR. Whoever bills take.

[boo2202]

At this point just go all defense. Leave no excuses for Bradley. 

[Mikemccoy84]

I agree with defense. I think we missed on wrs that will be significant upgrades over pierce

[paoconno]

Hey All,

 

I'm a writer/producer for a station out in LA. We just did a feature on your newest Colts, Laiatu Latu. Link is below for anyone interested. He is a great kid, good head on his shoulders, in addition to being a stud on the field. You guys got a good one.

They sent a few folks to his pro day, including Jim Bob.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

If we don’t trade up tomorrow I wonder how fast these other WR will go.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Ballard will be talking as soon as these last few picks are done.

I’ll stick around to see Ballard fired then toot my own horn I guess. He’s finally went big or go home with the last two picks. We shall see how they turn out but I have 0 Trust in his process over the years. I usually make one trip to Indy and one to Nashville since it’s close but I’ll save my 3k this year.

He let the Chiefs get worthy. That's  going to be a problem  for the league

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Looks like Wiggins is gone.

Unless he was going to way over draft Worthy there wasn’t much he could do about that.  He’s not the GM who traded with KC to let them get Worthy either.

Well you have to remember the draft order will be pretty much the same. A lot of these teams in front of us already took a WR in Rd 1 so there probably won't be as big a run on WR before our pick. I'm hoping we can get Legette.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Panthers just treaded to 32 lol. What are bills doing.

Wow 

 

 

[krunk]

Just when I spoke Carolina traded up. I know they are going to take Legette.

Bills moved back one spot.  Probably have two WRs on the board they like so move back one spot and get another pick.

Or maybe you just have unrealistic expectations? 

 

He is entering his 4th year. He has gotten better every year. He should continue to get better.

 

A guy who put up 16.5 sacks last year, Trey Hendrickson, had only 6.5 sacks over his first 3 seasons combined. Kwity has 3 times that many. Hes been very good. 

 

People have to stop expecting guys to make the HOF in their early 20s. 

maybe I do, idk.  But we can agree Paye is not on Trey Hendrickson and we had an opportunity to possibly upgrade at one of the most important positions in our scheme.  
 

I’m not saying Paye is bad.  I said he’s serviceable.  But for someone like Ebukam to come in and do what he did in one year let me know we could use an upgrade.

[krunk]

Yup scratch Legette off the list

[ColtStrong2013]

What are the Bills doing…

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

So will SF now get Deebo or Aiyuk traded.

[richard pallo]

Now that the Jags drafted Thomas I think we are the prime team to trade for Aiyuk tomorrow.  The receivers left won’t make a big impact for the Colts as a rookie this year.  Trading for Aiyuk would supplant Pierce as our starter.

Lots of good corners and a few good WRs still there and that’s not including linebackers and safeties.  Colts should be in position to get another good player to fill a need tomorrow.

Too expensive 

[richard pallo]

I also think we will be trading up somwhere during the draft tomorrow.

Lol no way that happens. We’re not paying another Wr 25mil. The Wrs are gone. This will be a defense and oline draft. 

[richard pallo]

Not really.  People way over value what it would cost in these types of trades.  

[holeymoley99]

Adonai Mitchell-WR-Texas still there but likely wont drop to us.

We are not paying a quarterback who cares.  We can afford it.

I still like AD Mitchell if he's there at 46 or a slight trade down. 

[Mikemccoy84]

I imagine ad Mitchell goes first pick tomorrow to buffalo

Noway he is there at 46.

[Patrick Miller]

We haven’t had a freeney/mathis type in a long time. I hope this kid is it. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I saw today the best offer they have had for Deebo was a 4th.

Have you seen what the WR got paid last two days? Colts can’t afford that
