Good, that possibility is off the board.



Hines is plenty explosive and doesn't have fumblitis. Wilkins breaks off big runs all the time and doesn't have fumblitis.

No, just would've preferred the Colts not waste so much draft capital.

We seriously are getting upset by the lost of a 5th round pick? Really?

It is pretty rare that a 5th round pick stays on a well run NFL roster past a year or two. For every Robert Mathis there are 100 Nate Hairston's, David Parry's or Jonathan Newsom's.

Ballard obviously felt like he needed to get in front of JAX to make sure he got the guy he wanted. The only reason to move up is if you WANT him.

Trust in Ballard; trading a 5th to secure the services of a guy he obviously wanted is a no brainer.

It was a waste of a 2 and a 5, not just a 5.



Not always. I was relatively happy with last year's draft. I rarely had a problem with Polian drafts until the late 2000s.

This is another classic Ballard guy. Extremely smart, extremely productive, durable and reliable.

I did not realize that he ran the fastest 40 of any running back.

So, you are betting right now that Ballard and his staff have selected Ron Dayne part 2? Trent Richardson the 2nd? That the pick was completely wasted.

Dang, why don't you have a job with an NFL team? Able to predict the future!

They took a Day 3 guy at 41 is what I'm saying. Again, I hope he proves me wrong, but a RB with a fumbling problem and high mileage is like a WR who can't catch or run routes. Why would I care how good the positives are at that point?

Also, I find it funny that some here always bring up my "obsession" with 40 times and you're using a 40 time as justification for this pick. Edwards-Helaire ran a 4.6 and I'd've taken him over Taylor in a heartbeat.

A Day 3 guy? On what planet?

Round 5·Pick 3 (149)

Round 6·Pick 3 (182)
