I love this draft class

[Chromeburn]

It really was a good one. Needs on top of good value with productive, high character, A+ athletes.

Not used to PFF liking our draft class.

Normally I would say draft experts liking the Colts draft is a sign of impending failure, but I just don't see how the class as a whole could be bad. Richardson busting would hurt it a lot, but there's potential for 6-8 of these players to be good starters or impactful role players. Usually 4 is a good draft class. If Richardson hits his full potential, this draft class could become one of the best of all time.

I figure it's a good draft class when I seriously can't choose a favorite selection. Between A.) the players I really like for this team and B.) the value they got in some of these picks (Downs, Adeboware, Rush, wtf were they still available?).

If Steichen can work some magic with Richardson, man... By the way, Steichen really gives me an I-don't-fuck-around vibe in his interviews. Should be good for team morale.

This is just such a breath of fresh air for me. New head coach and an exciting draft class. No more retread QBs and if Richardson hits...watch out. Hope for the future and no more treading water. I'm am excited.

For me as an all around draft top to bottom this is Ballard's best to date! This class has a ton of potential for help this season! I think Steichen was the guy we needed to make it gel. I also think the D takes another huge leap this year.

I want to be incredibly optimistic for this classs, and I do really like the guys we have selected in terms of value and positional need. But I am also hearing that this is one of the weakest draft classes in the past decade, so how good are they going to prove to be once they get amongst the elite of the elite on the field?

I may be alone but these past 4 years of getting pumped in the off season only to shit the bed once real games start have put a damper on my being able to get excited by off season moves. I really want to but can’t get myself to believe a damn thing that this front office says when they hype up a draft class. Every year it’s incredible athletes that are going to wow us. I will have to wait to see these people actually play to get pumped. I do enjoy watching a team build happen and have big time hope, especially for AR-really like the man. Here is to hoping off season hype isn’t our Super Bowl once again.

I am going into this season with one expectation, that’s they are fun to watch this year. I fully expect AR to make plenty of mistakes, but also WOW plays as well!

With a new HC, system, and young QB that needs some growth I am not expecting to really compete for a couple years. So in the mean time be entertaining because the last couple years haven’t been.

Time will tell, but it does seem like we have a really good draft class. Would have liked to have seen us draft some IOL, but maybe Ekiyor can help make up for some of that.

On top of watchability I'll be expecting the team to improve throughout the season. At least on the offensive end. Similar to what we saw in '98 on Peyton's rookie season.
