That’s because they were clearly targeting Edgerrin Cooper. Packers are a threat to win it all in the NFC, lots of young talent 


Clearly?   I don’t think anything is clear. I think Ballard has numerous options and can go in any direction.

Why do so many GMs prefer lower round picks?


Note that the 2 trades Bills did, they didn’t mind giving Day 3 picks and their number of picks stayed the same.

 

 I dont think teams are valuing late Day 3 picks much

The more picks you have, the higher chance you hit on some of them

 

True but the farther back you select, the greater chance the player will not be successful. My former GM Rick Spielman loved 6th and 7th Rd picks. While I liked him a lot, I did not like when he traded back so frequently. He was a lot like Ballard in many ways.

That's a little early for Maason Smith. Athletic freak that looks completely lost on the field. If he puts it together he could be amazing, but he's shockingly raw.

Getting 2 more draft picks in return for moving from 46 to 52 is pretty good.

Three of the guys I would of liked in this round are gone: Powers-Johnson, Lassiter, and Cooper. Maybe we can still get Junior Colson. There are a lot of really good players yet. lot's of O-line, linebackers. No need to panic people.

Not terrible comp

I laughed silently at all the mock drafts, that trade back and get extra 3rd round draft pick... Like, many guys wanting MORE, MORE day 2 picks by trading Down. 

 

Let the reality sink in.. you get picks in the range 140+...

 

Because, if a team tried to trade up, they'd give more. If Colts try to trade down, initiating the offer, the other team is gonna give their least favourite picks.

    • You are missing out a rather LARGE piece of the puzzle in your factoring here. We had last season's win numbers with GARDNER FREAKING MINSHEW at QB practically the whole season. Love the guy and what he did for us last season, but he isn't exactly a world beater at the QB position. AR brings such a different dynamic to this offense and teamm, Shane is going to be chomping at the bit to get started this season. The sample size we saw from AR last season was small, but it was definitely encouraging - especially considering we were all expecting him to be much more raw and inaccuarte. He basically red-shirted last year, learning the NFL game and in Steichen's ear the whole time, while learning the playbook inside out.  Our team has fundamentally stayed the same as last season, which damn near won the AFC South with Gardner at QB for the love of god. Now we add AR to that mix, as well as some very interesting additions in Mitchell and Latu who could have very meaningful impacts. The fact that we are so under the radar is almost laughable - AFC South isnt going to know what hit it. 
    • Great points!  I would assume the Irsay’s would conduct the interviews. If Steichen is given more control he would as well or the new GM could decide his fate like Ballard did with Pagano. Several ways it can go and we are a few years away from it even happening so who really knows. I’m hoping none of it matters and the team becomes a true contender and this discussion is merely killing time. 
    • I would say "hire the best who's available for the job". If all the good / great GM candidates are gone, you're stuck hiring someone like Grigson (or maybe someone from this forum).   I often wonder, who's the best candidate to hire for an impossible job? Someone who can make the impossible, possible?
    • I agree.  Hire who’s best for the job.  But that doesn’t mean the guy who is easiest is automatically the wrong choice.  Easiest can also mean best.   It depends on your perspective.  
    • I’m in, can’t believe how fast this year is going.
