IMO #49 may be a bit high for Leonard, but if Ballard could manage to get Landry and Jackson then he might be able to gamble a tiny bit with his next pick. I'd personally prefer Jefferson due to his better size, but he may already be gone by #49. And heaven knows the Colts need LBs.....all over the field.

I want to get Miami and NE in a bidding war for #37 (& M. Rudolph), if only to mess with Big Bad Billy.

Hey Dammy, get your tissues ready ... I have heard that Joseph Addai is announcing Colts 2nd round picks ... Your old man crush was he not ? :cool:

Because just picking Nelson at 6 doesn't fix the right side of the OL. Mewhort is unreliable, Slauson is old. If they take two great defenders that's fine but not shoring up the whole OL when there are great prospects available and you already burned the 6th overall on the position group seems like a costly half measure.

Landry and Hernandez, then a RB.

Starting guards can be found on Day 3. Calling drafting Nelson a half measure is a kindness to Ballard, but defense needs to rule the day today.

Jackson, Chubb, Hernandez, Williams.......would be happy with any combination of those 3

I'd love Chubb, too. Can they trade Elway Nelson for him?

Yeah, I agree, I don't think Settle is on our radar. Look for Nathan Shepard, Hurst I love, Andrew Brown, Poona Ford, The NC ST DT's, and a couple more guys I can't think of.

But starting players at any position can be found on Day 3, right? You just have to be good enough to identify them - which is really the rub after all. Like any position, I'd venture a guess that on average, guards picked in the first round have outperformed those picked in later rounds. Do you disagree?

You might argue that the consequences of picking a bad guard are less severe than, say, picking a bad QB. That I'd agree with. But it doesn't mean that you shouldn't pick guards until Day 3.

Lots of hybrid rushers going today I bet. Hubbard and Green are probably the only 3 down DE's left. I bet a CB is definitely coming, then maybe a DT, LB, WR, or RB with 49. Will come down to their board. A guy like Nwosu would fill two roles SAM LB and pass rush.

Also Carter, Turay, OO in there as well.
