Somehow… someway… I’m hoping we get Warren

Neither Warren or Loveland have stated RAS scores.

There is no way Ballard drafts either of them.

We're getting thin on the offensive and defensive line, so I'll predict we'll pick those with our first two picks. Not at 14 though, we'll trade back. Maybe we will have a pick late tonight, but most of the work will be from round two and beyond.

Just my prediction. I haven't been following along or paying much attention (or caring) much at all this off-season. I always hope for the best though.

Hard to believe we won’t get either of the TE’s.

This is always an exciting time. Last little bit of excitement before training camp.

You are correct. That’s all dipshit dumbass Ballard knows

His job is on the line the bullshit RAS scores and the bullshit sob story is all out the window…. Put up or shut up time

Did Jim Irsay say that? No? Then I don't believe it.

Fuck it, I don't know where to post this...but here is my Colts Mock Draft. Mods can move it if this isn't where it belongs.

Round 7
Choice A Orande Gadsden II - TE-Syracuse
Choice B Yahya Black-DT-Iowa
Choice C Gavin Sawbuck-RB-Oklahoma

Skattebo and Dolac are some of my favorite players in this draft. But due to Ballrd's infatuation with RAS, are probably not even on the the Colts draft board!

Also, in some cases pay no attention to the round a player was mocked...some were just throw ins.

drafting skattebo would be terrible.


immediate fan favorite type nonsense

It's round 3, so get off your high horse. Oh, yeah, because he's white he will become an instant fan favorite. Damn I musta missed that! BTW, I would also be almost as equally happy with RJ Harvey.

If Skattebo plays even half as well in the NFL as he did against Texas in the CFP he'll be a steal in the 3rd round.

My guess is that Warren will be gone long before we draft but Loveland will be there. If so then hopefully Ballard just drafts him instead of trading down.

Same. Although I'm kind of nervous with how high Loveland seems to have shot up the past week.

Hoping Campbell, Membou, and Banks all three go before we pick.

Membou and Banks might, but I'm thinking Campbell will drop b/c of his injury.

The Jagoffs just traded up to 2. Guess they're not taking Warren.

Our division keeps getting better, we better pray AR is not a bust or we are screwed!

There goes that, haha. Pats at #4.

So far so good.

Teams don’t use RAS. They have their stat guys do their own numbers.

Chicago is the only team I worry about taking him. Denver could trade up. If the jets take him over a tackle they are morons. Only a few tackles in this draft.

The Jaguars have drafted top 5 overall for almost a decade straight or something.

I thought you were talking about Jihaad, not Will. My bad.

Stupid trade by Jags!

Why does Goodell bear hug all these guys like he's their best buddy and Mr. Cool? Guy is such a phony!:rolleyes:

I'm not sure about that. Ward is only the best QB because the rest are not very good. And Hunter is potentially great, but the Jags just gave up their #1 for next year. IMO, the best players are going to the NFC, or the Raiders.

He'll probably go both ways (no homo) so it's like getting two picks for one! But time will tell if they gave up too much!

Raiders got a helluva RB with Jenty

You could be right, but eventually all these top 2 picks are going to payoff....when is the last time the Colts traded up to get a top player?

There's the third OT. Possibly the moment of truth coming up.

I don't know if the odds of him staying healthy will be very high, playing both ways.

Not every down on offense, but they will definitely work him into their offense.

Bears take Loveland

49'ers go DL at 11.

Dallas surely will take Sanders?

Is Ballard pissing his pants, or will he get Warren now?

Seems like Warren or a great DE or LB will be there.

If Ballard chooses the RAS wet dream guy from A&M I'm going to scream.

Cowboys go OL. I hope McDaniels in MIA doesn't have a hard on for a Swiss Army knife.

That would be another last second curveball like LV gave us last year.

OL is going quickly this draft.

When Goodell said Tyler I was like oh well fuck.

So Warren or Walker will be there.

I'll be thrilled with both.
