I Am Not A Draft Scout disclaimer, but it seems like a lot of the smart draft people are very high on this year's TE class/depth of TE class.
Unrelated to any of this, my one semi-concern (and concern isn't the right word, so acknowledging that up front) so far is that the Colts are a slow, old team in transition. They're transitioning out of the old part. They've yet to transition out of the slow part.
Simon and Sheard (not really counting on Mingo to do anything) are solid signings to field the defense Pagano wants, but they're not really playmakers and don't address the lack of speed & playmaking ability on this defense. They're better than the guys they're replacing, but only insomuch as they're going to be solid.
I really hope this draft unearths some real playmakers. Offense, defense, whatever. But this team needs playmakers, and it needs some speed.
If Ballard was a big part of Marcus Peters & Tyreek Hill landing in KC, I trust he gets that.
