I don’t agree on Paye. He may not be a stud pass rusher but he is adequate and he is really good at setting the edge in the run game. Don’t look at stats. Go watch film and watch how Paye impacts the run game when he is there v when he is not.
You want your first round pick to be more than adequate

All this because we don't trade for a corner who's good to very good, but isn't Sauce Gardner, to pay him $10 million dollars more than any corner in the history of the NFL? Lol
After we just drafted two good rookies last year, signed Kenny, and still have Flowers?
It isn't just about this trade but Ballard's reluctance to make any moves to bring in any difference makers.

What early picks were misses?
Nelson, Richardson, Kwity, and Malik Hooker? All hits
2nd and 3rd rds he's been even better.
Paye and Hooker was definitely a miss. Also there have been a lot of misses in the second round

Maybe UL goes for Musselman. Saw a report he was a candidate for the SMU job, if that is the case he must really want out of Arkansas.

Somebody needs to check on Ant Wright. Stay with him tonight. Make sure he's going to be okay.
Why is that?

I feel it would be harder for him to leave a conference team to come to IU if we ever come calling

How many GM' would get 8 years while making the playoffs twice and has 1 playoff win. Us IU fans wants to fire Woodson after 3 years and no losing seasons while winning 2 tournament games.

Believe it when I see it. Easy to say until you have the money sitting there in front of you.
It is the same with Morton and Gillis where both can come back but aren't coming back.

Until he he sees he won’t get drafted and how much money he will pass up. It’s a business decision to leave…and will be a business decision to stay. Nothing will change draft wise by staying another year. He will just miss out on a pay day if he goes.
He is gone and both Edey and Painter has said so

Maybe I’m wrong but Grover was one of the highest rated run stopper. I agree Ballard has hit on all the positions that aren’t what I would call game changers..but he isn’t on the hot seat. As long as Richardson isn’t a flat out bust he will get a few more years. Irsay sees him as family. I’d say he has more support in the organization than Woody has on the BOT.

Irsay doesn’t like to change coaches or GMs. He values continuity. Ballard is no where close to the hot seat…so he has plenty of time.
Good or bad it’s just how it is. Plus Indy doesnt have the money for the guaranteed contracts. It’s about the money that has to be put into escrow. They’ve spent a bunch on their own with those big contracts.
If we don't make the playoffs this year Ballard has to be fired. I understand about keeping your own if the team was a championship caliber team but I don't understand bring back marginal players. Pittman was the only one I thought that was imperative to bring back. Why bring back Grover then sign another DT and then bring back Bryan another DT. I just think he puts his premium money in the wrong positions.

Their bigs will be in foul trouble immediately and then there will be none of those pick and pop 3s. Its a bad matchup for Gonzaga.
Gonzaga starts 3 big guys and their problem is who will guard Jones.

I have never been a huge Few guy. Fine coach. Racks up wins in a safe environment but doesn’t show much when the going gets tough. The guy who I like is Tommy Lloyd his ex assistant. He got a $6 M deal at Arizona which has been far better than us for 20 years but the passion and exposure is bigger here but for our ineptitude and dysfunction. But man I’d make a run at him with $10M and not bleep around to say IU is serious. He’d be a great match here. He’s got an urgency and passion that we have lacked but he also has the roster construction and strategic skills.
Didn't they say Gonzaga has made the sweet 16 9 straight years. To me that means Few has shown a lot when it gets tough.

I think Ballard is playing the long game…looking 2-3 years out.
LOL! He is going into his 8th season so how long does he need. It seems like the only thing he cares about is his cap space but he never uses it.
If he hit more with his early draft picks maybe we wouldn't be in this situation. In 7 years he hasn't won the worst division in football and only made the playoffs twice

Ballard builds through the draft. It just is who he is. He trusts his ability (correct or not) to identify talent in the draft. I’d be shocked if we don’t take a corner with our first pick. There should be a couple elite ones sitting there. He will get a safety in the draft as well later on and then supplement in free agency after the $$ drops. There are a ton of veteran safeties available and even some interesting corners that could move over to the roll.
Maybe it is time to change his philosophy since his hasn't worked. As for CB we already have enough young ones and we need a veteran on there

$55 Million guaranteed? No way...he can ride out his career in the AFC South basement.
At least the games there 3 AFC South teams are trying to improve their teams. Ballard brings back mainly mediocre players from a mediocre team. Our only two outside free agents are a backup QB and a backup DT. We have 40 mil tied up to 3 DT's. We have one of them highest paid guard, Kicker, RB and punters but still no CB's or safeties. Pittman is pretty much the only really good player we have resigned
-
Looks like the Colts lose out on getting Snead from KC. He looks like he is going to Tennessee for a 3rd and flipping 7th round picks. Once again Ballard sits on his hands and doesn't take a chance of upgrading their team.

JMU's defense is impressive

I wish that Texas A&M was the 9 seed in Purdue's region. I think they would have a good chance at beating them but have no confidence that Utah St or TCU can.
