It seems like the Colts just keeping drafting safeties hoping to hit on one.
|
I would think Blackmon could have been had a round later with an ACL injury. I wish the Colts would have drafted a left tackle instead.

From his comments Ballard clearly had Blackmon circled as a guy that he really wanted to draft and didn't want to risk him not being there in the 4th. Based on his college production, if Blackmon fully recovers from his ACL then is probably worth the pick. |
I don’t know if I like this pick. At least not with an acl tear. Seems high. Player looks good when healthy. But he will be seriously behind with the short off season and the injury.

Of course, injury is always a possibility but I wonder if Castonzo committed to playing for 2 more years when he signed that contract......lines up to what we know Rivers want to do as well (play for 2 more years even though they only aligned on a 1 year). Maybe Ballard is planning to draft a new LT next year?? |
[QUOTE=1965southpaw;160052]Ballard did a videoconference last night with the local media that I saw on FB last night. When Kevin Bowen asked him whether depth on the OL was a priority in this draft, he seemed really surprised by the question and then (I think) answered a bit defensively that they have depth on the line....Clark and the other guy whose name I can't remember. Then he said something about having alot more time before the season starts to continue to add depth. My read of all this was that he's not going to do anything in this draft re the OL.
lol, this [post didn't age well! |
Blackmon will open the season on the Active / Non-football injury list. Not surprising based on the original time line of a September / October return.

Ballard indicated that the Colts may activate Blackmon in 2-3 weeks time.
