6. Tevin Jenkins
7. Liam Eichenberg
8. Spencer Brown
9. Samuel Cosmi

Walker Little has too many question marks to go that high, I don't care how prototypical his build is. Also Jenkins going that low would likely mean Round 2 and I don't see that happening, nor Radunz coming off the board before him. Your list does show how potential pushes players up draft boards, though.

I think Jenkin is taken by Raiders as a guard

Little is very intriguing. Probably the most talented

Cosmi doesn't have as much ceiling as the others although he is pretty decent now.

I think the value of the OT's is in the 2nd round. Most are 1st round reaches.

JMO. I'm sure I could be wrong

Jenkins as a guard would be such a waste. The athleticism and technical skill is much better suited outside.

My quick rankings by position of need.




CB. This is going to be a much higher priority than most people think.

1. Patrick Surtain
2. Jaycee Horn. My favorite player
3. Greg Newsome
4. Caleb Farley



OT. Same as I posted above

1. Penei Sewell
2. Rashawn Slater
3. Christian Darrisaw
4 Walker Little
5. Dillon Radunz
6. Tevin Jenkins
7. Liam Eichenberg
8. Spencer Brown
9. Samuel Cosmi


WR.

1. DeVonta Smith
2. Ja'Marr Chase
3. Jaylen Waddle
4. Rashod Bateman
5. Rondale Moore
6. Kadarius Toney
7. Terrace Marshall Jr.

Edge Very weak class at the top. Probably 4th rounder here


1. Kwity Paye
2. Jaelan Phillips
3. Joe Tryon. OLB but could play DE
4. Gregory Rousseau
5. Azeez Ojulari
6. Carlos Basham Jr.
7. Micah Parsons
8. Jayson Oweh


TE. Only really 3 that I've seen. This is a very big need IMO unless they trade for Ertz

1. Kyle Pitts. I think he may be the best player in the draft behind Lawerence
2. Pat Freiermuth
3. Tommy Tremble

LB Only one I care about is Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah and I would absolutely love the Colts to take him at 21 but he wont be there

I would not at all be surprised by a safety early.


As always JMO

If Colts trade back and get any of those nine (plus at least a pick in the third, if not more), then I'll be a happy fan.

[Racehorse]

I know Rondale Moore is a talent, but I am not sure I want him in the 'shoe. His decision to opt out and his injury history are two huge red flags for me.

[Chromeburn]

I think we trade back to get a pick in the third or a 2022 pick, and I think we take Raddunz at LT. Then a CB like Asante Samuel Jr, then a pass rusher like Elerson SMith or Payton Turner..

Not sure how far you think this trade back will go but Raddunz will probably be there are 54. If he's the BPA then yea take him.


The only way I see Ballard setting a priority for a position is if there is a run on LT's in the draft. Otherwise he'll probably get one at 54 who will be BPA

I too want him to trade back and get a couple more picks. But he still needs to take BPA that is not a position of NON need like QB RB OG OC All other positions need upgraded.

He already said he is not going to force a pick for a position of need.


I Think even in the middle of the 2nd the value will be WR and CB.

I've had a long day today so I hope he trades back and does it early

Colts get: 34, 66

Dropping down 13 picks in this scenario would give the Colts 34, 54, 66, 98, and 105, or likely 2 of the top 50, 3 of the top 75, and 5 of the top 100 players in this draft. I think if you don't get Jenkins or Phillips, this is probably the best play.

If Indy could turn the 21st pick into five out of the top 100 by trading back only 13 picks total? Total Ballard move too.
