COLTS 2019; A New Hope, next year, again

[IndyIN]

I'm ok with that trade. I don't think the Colts are going to get wrapped up in wheeling and dealing if they wanted someone with that first round pick. Having multiple picks in the early rounds seems smart... unless you have a high 1st rounder.

They’ve got three picks tomorrow. Good opportunity to create a lot competition for spots within the building.

I'm not going to question Ballard's crystal ball at this point.
I figure the player he had wanted or projected to be available isn't there or who he wants he thinks will be available later.
He's done great the last 2 years so let's see how it works out.

I'm glad Colts made the trade. My Redskins got a much needed edge rusher to compliment a pair of big, young D-tackles.

I'm cautiously optimistic about their selection of Dwayne Haskins at QB too. I thought he might not make it to 15.

I know it's just one round, but the Skins are making moves that a real team would make. It's a big change from the clown show they usually are.

Pick #34 is CB Rock Ya-Sin from Temple.

Pick #49 is OLB Ben Banogu from TCU.

All defense so far.

I'm not understanding the Banogu pick... seems like a big reach where the Colts took him.

I loved seeing reggie Wayne talking smack to titan fans.

Pick #59 is WR Parris Campbell from Ohio State.

Side note - he was the fastest wide receiver at this year’s combine.

Pat mcafee > reggie Wayne.

Pat mcafee > reggie Wayne.

Yes, Yes he is.

Other than the one wide receiver, it’s been all defense this draft so far.

Safety in the 4th rnd.

Another safety and an inside linebacker in the 5th.

Ballard has emphasized speed with every pick.

Colts.com is listing Tell as a CB, even though he played safety in college. Typo or is that where the Colts plan to play him?

Corner is the position going around the Twitter-verse.

That's what I'm seeing.

Think what you want of Mel Kiper, but his only job has been evaluating the draft since the 80’s. He only gave one A rating this year, and it was to the Colts. There’s a lot of respect around the league for what Ballard and Co are doing.

I wish they could have come away with another DT. But I wasn't sure about last year's draft either. Ballard know what he's doing, even if he and I aren't always on the same page.

How many of Kiper's picks pan out? I looked into him a decade ago and he was wrong on every single suggested pick year after year. I've paid him no attention at all since then.

People that are good at evaluating talent have jobs working for successful teams that consistently put good players on the field. Kiper has never worked for one of those teams afaik.

He may not want the travel schedule that pro scouts have.

The Colts YouTube channel has been putting out some great content lately. This one’s a look into the draft that I’ve not seen before.
