I am at the point where I don’t think WR is a high priority position for the Colts in the draft. It was a fun thought when we were in line to get MHj, if we can bring in Devante Adams in the offseason, then great! I’m all for it. But if the Colts pay Pittman, Downs has more than proven he is a stud and should get better as time goes on. Pittman and JT are going to be getting too much money at that point to use our first rounder on another guy that is gonna demand the ball.
As I see it, here are our draft priorities
CB CB CB DT (we eventually need to get cheaper and younger here) LB (Ballard is so good at drafting these guys. Get us another guy before Speed and Franklin ask for the bag) Guard (RG is looking pretty solid, but we’ve seen what happens when we ignore the position for too long) WR/TE/BPA (if Bowers or Nabers falls to our spot then I think those guys would be really smart picks. Especially Bowers with how featured TE was when AR was in. But at the same time if a stud Pass rusher fell then I’d be fine with taking that guy.)
Honestly this just feels like another trade back year for Ballard, so I’m not getting my hopes to high on the 1st round anyway.
Ballard has never drafted a need just to fill a need for the sake of it
