Well, if Dammy hates the move, we can rest assured it was the right one.

He was a top 5 talent in this draft available at 26, and Ballard passed on him and didn't get a first round draft pick in 2020 for his trouble despite dropping 20 slots very early in this draft. While I'm mildly annoyed at the decision making of the front office in this instance because getting a top 5 talent at 26 seems like a no brainer to me, especially at a position of need, I'm still confident based on their past results that they'll add a quality group of players to the roster.

3 seems the most rational to me.

Your very first comment, and therefore the basis of your rationale, is one giant assumption which you couldn’t possibly know.

You're saying I can't possibly know what the medical professionals are indicating? Or that I can't possibly know whether Sweat was allowed to work out at the combine?

“Medical professionals don’t seem to think...”

We don’t know what they really think. All we have are various reports that do not necessarily true. Any positive report could just be coming from Sweat’s agent. Any negative report could have been fueled by teams hoping he would fall to them. We. Don’t. Know.

Read the whole thing. "The medical experts don't seem to think the heart condition is a big deal because they let him workout at the combine where they wouldn't let Maurice Hurst do the same last year, and some medical experts seem to think he doesn't have a heart condition at all." PROVABLE FACT: Montez Sweat was allowed to work out at the combine after being diagnosed with the condition. PROVABLE FACT: Maurice Hurst was not allowed to work out after being diagnosed with his heart condition. Using simple logical deduction, we can infer from the above provable facts that if Montez Sweat has a heart condition, the doctors who examined him at the combine don't think it's serious enough to prevent him from the strenuous physical activity of performing football drills, in part because we saw them remove someone last year from workouts for the same reason. So yes, to some degree based on their actions, we can tell what they think.

Hes a Redskin now... move on!

If Ballard just finds another Leonard and a lot of good depth at this point I'll be happy. He will add a couple more key FA signings that will be good contributors. O LINE will Gel more as will 2nd and 3rd year players grow and get better. This team will be fine.

A bit risky, don't blame them for passing

Len Bias comes to mind

Taking a look after the draft + UDFA signings, it appears to me that the Colts HEAVILY scouted Simmons, Sweat and Abram. There are 4 of their Mississippi State teammates that were either drafted (Green in Round 6), signed to UDFA contracts or invited to a rookie mini-camp tryout.
