So disappointing, but good for him. Would've been a great Colt.

I do think it was telling that there was only one trade before the Colts selection at 15...with the Jets moving back one spot from 10 to 11. Reportedly there were more teams than just the Colts trying to move up.

Big offer & Ballard don’t often if ever collide in the same sentence ever. I think Ballard is full of shit.

Speaking of...

I nominate the Buffalo Bills fanbase for the most entertaining post-draft suicide watch after trading back twice last night.

In their collective eyes, that front office went from contenders to pussies that aren't trying to win-now. Worried too much about the future.

Fun read.

That's a good one, too. The Bills, though, have been Jazz/Knicks to the Chief's Bulls for several years now.

The fact that they traded with KC and gave them Worthy is extra salt. Worthy being the fastest man on Earth makes it even better because all of the surface level, Madden-type Bills fans are having panic attacks.

Of course, if you look at Colts social media... we just spent a first-rounder on a backup.

Nah, Latu is the alpha pass rusher the team lacked.

Good god, what idiots are saying that?

The health concerns may be legit, but are people denying his skill or potential to be great? I have yet to see anyone serious think that if he's perfectly healthy he'll be a bust or is some sort of project. In fact he seems like the anti-project.

This post deserves more than one thanks from me!

Yeah, it's really surprising that the Bills would trade w/ the Chiefs. I know we would have all lost our shit if back in the day we had made a draft day trade w/ the Cheats that looked like it fill a big need for them.
