Luck will be killed in 2018 behind an O-Line that NEEDS more talent and our defense will be killed due to lack of pass rush and quality LBs. It is always a combination of Need and BPA. Always. I talk about the guys that I want to draft because while I see lots of holes on the roster, some holes are MUCH deeper than others. If we don't fill in those holes then the rest of the team will just not matter much. Regardless of where the Colts have their draft board, right OT is one of those deep holes, IMO. It needs to be filled and if it can be filled with a kid whom has the potential of coming in, starting day one and being compared to 2 guys whom have had pretty good NFL careers, then that, to me, is worth an early 2nd round pick. You call it drafting for need, I call it smart team building. But, I don't have enough data on Ballard to know for sure what kind of drafter he is. Hooker was a BPA pick. Safety was not a top position of need; Mike Adams was returning from pretty good 2016 season, Clayton Geathers was fully expected to recover from his injury and we had drafted T.J. Green in the 2nd round just the year before. While most were thrilled he was still available because he is projected to be a stud, safety was not a #1 concern. Wilson was both a BPA and need pick. We needed CB help and he was drafted right around when he was projected. Basham appears to be purely a need pick. Very few mock drafts had him going in the 3rd round. Mack and Banner? Both filled needs and both were picked right around where they were projected to be picked. Who knows BPA? Not enough data. There appears to be a fair amount of "need" rolled into all of Ballard's "BPA" talk. Walk Worthy,
