Let me ask you this - how many guards currently in the league would be worth the #6 pick in the draft? What about defensive players?

Apparently 1

There is no one on this team that is more important than Andrew Luck....NO ONE

If he is not in the lineup we dont win. Plain and simple.... Now with the next couple of picks I expect a RB for Mack to compliment. Which will take more pressure off of Luck

Ballard did not ignore the Oline in FA. He was smart enough to not over pay. He has an olineman that will be locked in for 5 yrs... It was a safe no brained pick.

Protect Luck run the ball.

Ballard drafted and added in FA a lot on D last yr. They will be factors in the starting lineup now that Pagshit is gone and they have a new vision on D. I am sure Eberfus has evaluated the current players and has put in his evaluations.

THink about it like this..... Dallas spent multiple draft picks putting together an outstanding line and even made an over rated Dam Prescott look good.


If we cant run the ball we will never be a SB contending team.



BTW. Who did you want with the 6th pick?

How do you know it was about paying more over the player not wanting to come here?

It's not a fucking auction!!! It doesnt always go to the highes bidder

so you are ok with overpaying for a guard, but not over drafting. That is so ridiculous, no reason for anyone to talk to you anymore.

I have a feeling we're going to be selecting a RB and WR in the second round.

What’s so hard to understand? The Colts have a lot of cap space and few players that require that money coming due over the next few years. Especially with a consistently rising salary cap. How often do they make picks in the top 10 of the draft?

Move up for Landry.

Do the Pats or Jags take Ridley, or could he fall to Colts in 2nd?

Nvm, wow Atlanta. Bryan as a 3 tech anyone?

Fair enough, obviously true I don’t know why a player chooses a particular location. But I do know what Ballard has said about free agency and seen the deals he has made. Is it a stretch to look at those and believ Ballard was not the highest bidder? I don’t think so.

Look, I think it was a stupid pick. I’m on record and there is not much else to say. Shit goes on. I’m amazed at how pissy some of you get because I’m not sucking Ballard’s dick for addressing something I think he should have already addressed. Or for valuing top ten picks over cap space - which is apparently fucking retarded too. Time to move the fuck on and see how this shit goes.

I say stay put, and acquire more talent, that is why we moved back in the first place.
