Stop being sensible. If it's anything but a pass rusher in the 1st this place will implode The second bombing will come if he takes a CB or a safety before a LB no matter the reach involved.

I won’t be upset at all if they take Roquon over Nelson.

I st d corrected. The. It explosion will occur if they take Nelson. Ha

Nelson is the just about the biggest waste of a Top 10 pick I can imagine, so that seems accurate.

Wait! Someone understood Puck’s post???

Shut up. I have big thumbs and this fucking phone has a mind of its own

Can’t say I’d be happy with Barkley or Nelson. But the free agent signings (or lack of) and Hankins release have put me in a skeptical wait and see mindset. It’s already obvious Ballard isn’t going to do things in a manner I agree with very often, so I’m going to try to give him the benefit of the doubt until I see the product he puts on the field. I don’t see the value of either of those two at 6, but Ballard has a vision. Hopefully he can make it reality.

So far Ballard has ....in his one draft.... done very well IMO. I'm not gonna second guess him. Grigson missed draft after draft after his first one and Ryan Kelley. So he deserved to take heat.

I'm not sure what Ballard plan is, but so far I trust his judgement and it seems like he has a plan. So I will sit back and watch and be supportive.

Players I would like to see in a Colts uniform,

1st rd Chubb... Nelson... Ward... Edmunds... James...

2nd rd Michel...LVE... Hurst...Hernandez...Price...BJ Hill... McGlinchey... Ridley....Kirk


My Guess the 1st will be Chubb or Edmunds but would be happy with any of the listed.

Getting 3 of the players listed above in the 1st two rounds would be amazing. And very possible

As far as Oline goes... I think just getting rid of Chud and his horrible offense will do wonders for Luck's health. Doubt Luck goes for 4000 and 40 anytime soon so we HAVE to have a running game but as much fun as it would be to have Barkley I think that would be a horrible pick in the 1st.

I will add that if by chance we end up with Barkley.... that will be an Irsay pick not a Ballard pick IMO

I'm convinced that if Barkley is picked, it will be Ballard's selection. I don't think Irsay's a meddler, and Ballard doesn't seem like the type who would stand for it (yes, I know its fairly obvious that Irsay saddled Ballard with some sort of requirement that Pagano get to stay for 2017, but presumably that was part of the negotiations when they hired Ballard. Its a different thing entirely for an owner to impose his draft will on a sitting GM two years into his tenure, and I'm not aware of any evidence that Irsay has ever done this type of thing)

I will reserve judgement on Ballard's 1st draft, until after the upcoming season. Hooker, Mack and Hairston were the only true contributors.
