The one thing I don't get here is if he thought Anderson was a starter and didn't think the Colts had a 3 tech, why trade him for a 7th? Try him at 3 tech first at least.

Agreed, that is a question mark. I hate trading Anderson for only a 7 that will most likely be cut.

Another thing about Smith, they ran a lot of RPO at Auburn and he is great at blocking for it. We will see in incorporated into our O. I wonder who the three tech is? Ridgeway, Johnson, Autry or Lewis?

Wasn't there talk that they might try Grover Stewart there?

Listened to Stick to Football pod this morning. 6-7 teams told Matt Miller the severity of Hurst's heart issue and that they don't think he should ever play football again.

NT = Al Woods, Grover Stewart Both have shown good 1st step quickness in order to get into a gap before engaging. Both can accept the double team and ground rather than get put on skates. Neither are pass rush experts so they both fit the 1-tech NT well. DT = Hassan Ridgeway, Marcus Hunt, Caraun Reid, Tomasi Laulile, Anthony Johnson None are going to be great 3-tech DTs but Ridgeway, Reid, Laulile and Johnson all have the college experience at the spot and all have the right body types for it. Reid had a solid year at it in 2015 (29 tackles, 5 TFL, 2.0 sacks in 14 games) with Detroit prior to tearing his ACL early in 2016 and then starting his bouncing around the league. Hunt? If Anderson is not good for this defense then I have no ideal why Hunt is still on the roster either. DE[Flex] = Denico Autry, Tyquan Lewis Plays DE at the 7/8/9-tech on suspected running plays and kicks inside replacing the NT on suspected passing downs. I know that Ballard said in his interview that he sees Lewis as a possible future 3-tech DT but I don't know that he meant that as a full-time guy or just during passing downs or not as a rookie. I look at Lewis and I don't see a full time 3-tech body. DE[Rush] = Jabaal Sheard, Terrell Basham, Kemoko Turay Plays DE pretty much as a 9-tech and is playing the run on the way to the QB. Sprinting towards the QB on every play. My guess at a final roster if set today: DE[Rush] = Sheard, Basham, Turay NT = Woods, Stewart DT = Ridgeway, Reid DE[Flex] = Autry, Lewis Who is not on that list that Ballard said was moving to DE? John Simon. No room for him anywhere. His only postion, IMO, is DE[Rush] and that spot is too crowded. I think he is moving "back' to SSLB because that is still where I see his skill sets. Walk Worthy,

After reading this it looks to me like he did not reach for players in the way he grades them.
Obviously his BPA is different than the draft pundits. I just hope he is right.

I wonder if Ballard is still getting a feel for the draft process and if he's reaching at times even though he doesn't think he is. BPA is not real. They all draft based on a mix of where they rank the players combined with their team's needs/goals. |
