But makes me wonder why they didn't like Tillery.

Could be a few different things:

1) Perhaps they just had a Rd2 grade on him and couldn't pass up getting another 2nd and waiting to see if he fell to 34.
2) Maybe they didn't see him as a great scheme fit.
3) Maybe he was off their board due to a college suspension and some on-field incidents.

Wasn't supposed to be literal. Just a form of hyperbolic sarcasm. Sorry it flew right over.

I knew it was in jest - just saying that you could have used some of Grigson's bad draft picks for the post. He gave you many of them to choose from.

My mind went blank. That’s why I said TRich, who wasn’t even drafted by us. Getting old has its benefits: you can forget the bad and not just the good.

G: I was thinking TRich.
P: (pounds desk) Dorsett and Morrison!!!
G: only if you let me draft Banner and Basham.
P: Deal!

This is how I pictured it

Frank was pumped, saying "Four for four!" That tells me that they wanted these four guys, but didn't think that all four would still be there. I was also pumped to see they had Banogu and Okereke as kind of a toss-up, and now they get to battle with each other for minutes, or can share the field together. I know they edited out several hours of discussion to hide things from opponents and to make fans excited, but the excitement from Frank could not have n=been faked.

I noticed they edited out the EJ Speed conversation. I wanted to see that one especially after Ballard’s comments on Polian’s show.

The Colts just posted an extensive write-up on EJ Speed on their website. It has some comments from Ballard about EJ and where they plan for him to play in the defense.

He might as well have, we used a first to get him.
