8. Spencer Brown
9. Samuel Cosmi

If Colts trade back and get any of those nine (plus at least a pick in the third, if not more), then I'll be a happy fan.

I know Rondale Moore is a talent, but I am not sure I want him in the 'shoe. His decision to opt out and his injury history are two huge red flags for me.

I think we trade back to get a pick in the third or a 2022 pick, and I think we take Raddunz at LT. Then a CB like Asante Samuel Jr, then a pass rusher like Elerson SMith or Payton Turner..

Not sure how far you think this trade back will go but Raddunz will probably be there are 54. If he's the BPA then yea take him.


The only way I see Ballard setting a priority for a position is if there is a run on LT's in the draft. Otherwise he'll probably get one at 54 who will be BPA

I too want him to trade back and get a couple more picks. But he still needs to take BPA that is not a position of NON need like QB RB OG OC All other positions need upgraded.

He already said he is not going to force a pick for a position of need.


I Think even in the middle of the 2nd the value will be WR and CB.

I've had a long day today so I hope he trades back and does it early

I think the value of senior Bowl players has gone up bc of covid. I expect Radunz to go late 1st to mid second. He may say that. But if he doesn’t draft a LT high then he better get Erik Fisher on the phone. Also in a risky year taking an offensive lineman is a safe move with a low bust rate. If Vera Tucker is there I think we take him, the gap between tackle and guard has shrunk a lot over the years.

WR is a super risky position. 40% of 1st round receivers have not had a 1000 yard season.

BTW Ballard is on Pat Mcafree's show now

If he's on there now then they have already traded the pick I would guess

[Racehorse]

I hate all of the wait for the first pick. They know what they are going to do, so make the pick already.

Edit: I don't even see the clock for the Jags.

[Brylok]

I fully expect the Colts to trade back for more picks. I'll check in from time to time. Have fun y'all!

Is Smitty going to call all of the picks early again this year?
