this board will still find something to bitch about, even if the pick is perfect.

I seem to remember a few folks were not happy with the selection of Kelly last year even though he was a "perfect" pick.

Some folks will never be happy.

Good ol' Nate Douchelevy:

Indy hasn't even been competitive against top passers. Center won't keep them in games. Still going to get run out of dodge over and over.

To be fair, he wasn't wrong, but the value at pass rusher just wasn't there.

They're completely out of games when Luck is getting flattened behind a suckass Center like Satele or Khaled Holmes.

Getting a Center like Ryan Kelly was a necessity to even begin to talk about improving other areas of the team.

He makes Brad Wells tolerable by comparison.

Pass rush was the most glaring need on this team last year, despite the FO's complete lack of addressing it. That said, the value wasn't there to take a pass rusher at 18 last year.

Pass rush absolutely was the biggest issue on the team this past year, however, had the Colts not drafted interior OL and had Luck gotten seriously injured yet again, that would've stood out as the bigger issue, even over the pass rush which would've been crappy, no doubt.

But yes, you're also correct that pass rush wasn't there at 1.18 last year, which makes Nate Douchelevy's comment bashing the pick all the more retarded.

Here's what a long time NFC scout has to say about each teams possible draft strategy:

15. Colts: This is where (Stanford RB Christian) McCaffrey goes. Perfect fit there. I (also) have one sleeper there: (Oklahoma RB) Joe Mixon. Longest of long shots, but I can tell you the Colts are taking a hard look at him. A lot of teams are infatuated with Mixon, but so far no team seems crazy enough to take him in the first. But I think that owner (Jim Irsay) is crazy enough to do it.

I don't expect either of these scenarios to play out...but if either did this board would explode!

Alas...Jim Irsay doesn't call the shots in these situations, although, I could easily see the Colts taking Mixon in round 2.
