Realistic Draft

Both those guys have been solid/good almost every season of their careers.

That is the type of OT we need on the roster to hold down right OT for the next couple of years and perhaps, perhaps, be able to take over for Castonzo when he starts slowing down.

I really hope we get someone at the top of the 2nd round (or McGlincy if we are trading down in the 1st round) who can lock down right OT for us in 2018.

Walk Worthy,

for me, it would depend on who else is available there. I'd be surprised if O'Neill's rated the 36th or 37th BPA at the time of the draft, and I'd expect some possibly higher-rated DBs and WRs would also be there, maybe even a higher-rated LB.

But maybe the DBs available there wouldn't be a good fit for Eberflus' defense, and I'm not completely sold on this group of WRs, so if Ballard chose O'Neill (or maybe Rankin if he's there) at one of those 2 picks, I guess I wouldn't be terribly upset. Especially if Wynn and Hernandez were both already gone. The Colts need help at so many positions, especially with the switch to the 4-3. Maybe one of the "first-round" DLs slips to #36 or #37.

I also wouldn't be at all upset if Ballard chose B. Smith at #49 if he were still available there.
