Ballard talked a lot this offseason about adding to the DL rotation and wanting it to be 8 deep. Even if you count Turay and Lewis as part of that rotation, I count 6 reliable DL pieces, only 2 of which are DTs, and that's if you count Autry as a full DT, and 3 of which are 30+ (Houston, Hunt, Autry, Sheard, Lewis, Turay). Adding 2 quality DL in this draft is nearly mandatory unless you want the position to be a huge problem moving forward. Yet another reason trading out with Montez Sweat sitting there gift wrapped to you doesn't make sense.

I think Ballard wanted Simmons. Mentions him going at 19.

We also have Grover Stewart and Hassan Ridgeway, who have both seen significant playing time, although i am less certain of their future success with the Colts. So i would say we have 10 guys who have all seen significant playing time throughout their careers. They may not all be starters, but they are not scrubs with no experience either. They are exactly what you need for depth. |

I'd be shocked if Ballard didn't come out of today with at least one more piece on the DL. |

I think he'll be open to moving down from #34, but like last year with Leonard and Smith, I think he'll just stay put and take whichever guy they like most. |

If I had to bet, I'd go with yet another trade:
@RapSheet There could be fireworks early tonight: If the #AZCardinals go CB at No. 33, the #Colts should be able to get a ton at No. 34 in a trade. Lot of top OLs on the board, including Jawaan Taylor, Cody Ford and Greg Little. |

Interesting retweet by Holder
https://twitter.com/RNBWCV/status/1121735626691362816 Basically, looking forward and as measured separately under four different "yardsticks", the Colts have positioned themselves to have more draft assets than any other team. Of course, this analysis ignores the fact that we don't have a 1st (though it also ignores the 2nd we picked up next year). |

@nfldraftscout Couple of "What I'm Hearing" notes: * Run on WR is expected early tonight * Cody Ford & Jawaan Taylor expected to be in today's top 10 picks * Byron Murphy will go early, maybe at 33 even * Colts could trade back AGAIN and keep playing the board |
