That is a solid pick up! Love it! The draft has gone much better than I could have anticipated. Really liking the talent we are bringing on board.

And still have (3) 5ths. 

 

Its only going to get better.

Hey, I actually predicted we’d go for a center in the mid rounds lol. Not often I’m right about that!

Our trenches are loaded. Both sides.

The best way to counter Stroud and Houston. I’m very happy with our draft.

Well Ballard did say he liked oline depth in  mid rounds

Wisconsin oline are solid picks. They are well schooled on oline play

Wisconsin OL was very penalty prone and Tanor was part of the issue.  Just now had to go back and double check his history.  Had 5 penalties in 2022.  To me that’s never a good sign on a shorter college career compared to 16-18 games in the NFL.

What about 2023

We are pretty good at finding  undrafted free agents that make the team as well so we may still get a steal after the draft.

Definitely with Covid and bonus year going to be plenty of good players who go undrafted.

Good pick to fortify the IOL but McCormick would have been my pick. 9.96 Ras and is nasty

I see them in a similar light. There’s not a huge difference in their skill set IMO,

I really liked McCormick too and probably would have preferred him, but I like Bortolini about as much, so I'm fine with the pick.

That's  improvement and I'm good with that

Covid shortened season for a lot of these kids.  Kind of scews some of these stats but welcome to the Colts got to keep the faith in the draft process.

Would anybody be surprised if we grabbed a running back with the next pick?

I could definitely see us use one of the 3 5th rounders on one.

The only thing I’d change about @Dr. T contest is give the full credit for a round, whether Ballard moves up or down in a specific round, like from No.46 to No.52. This results in both you and @BlueStallion not getting the full points and only alternate round points. 
 

To me, it adds to the strategy of choosing someone early Round 2 or later Round 2 thrown into the choices based on whether Ballard moves up or down. If it’s technically a round up or below, I understand not getting full points.

Agreed. Couple of years back, I conducted Dr. T's contest concept in Vikings forum and had changed one thing as you said. People loved it..

    • OOOps! "Edition" not "Addition", lol!  Mods please correct my faux pas.
    • I had actually never seen the specific comments about diabetes until this Destin article...or Part 1 of this Bob McGinn article for that matter. I knew some things were said though and Ballard didn't like it.   But now that I have read Destin's article and McGinn's article, I just don't agree with the narrative Destin is pushing here. He's trying to portray AD as a R1 talent who was unfairly treated by the rumor-mongering media, which caused teams to not draft him until R2.   But we all know it doesn't really work like that anymore. And McGinn's article has additional not-so-flattering comments from scouts during AD's Combine workout (not just his diabetes management or coachability). So we know a glimpse into what some scouts were thinking back as far as the Combine, which was well before McGinn even published this article in mid April.   The bigger picture for me is "man, that sure seems like a lot of discouraging comments from scouts." And McGinn didn't have an agenda...he just happened to have more material on AD Mitchell than others and he published it.         
    • I think I was wrong in my guess here. On later inspection, it seems like the more likely situation is that the part about his diabetes is still in this article, but it's just hidden behind a paywall.. 
    • That could have happened. Could have been a HIPAA issue too.   But I think the fact that these other quotes existed (even if they were put in later) adds necessary context to this situation. It wasn't just AD being the victim of some smear campaign that somehow heavily influenced NFL teams...as seems to be the narrative. Instead, there were also concerns among different scouts (assuming it wasn't one scout) about other aspects, including his Combine workout.   So we know what some thought...and we know what happened. 10 teams drafted WRs before AD. Yes, 3 of those WRs were going earlier than him no matter what, but 7 other WR-needy teams opted for other WRs. And even Ballard actually traded down with him on the board. It seems fairly safe to assume that NFL teams didn't have him as a R1 WR, or top 5 at the position, for reasons beyond a couple comments from anonymous scouts. 
    • Cardinals need to sweep the Marlins in their 3 game series.  At minimum win 2/3.   It's a chance they cannot mess up.
