NFL/IU Draft Discussion 2021

National media are idiots. They never understand what the Colts are doing. I remember a few years ago and they bashed Ballard for drafting back to back linemen in Nelson and Smith then also taking Leonard in the second who they thought was too slight of build. They didn't understand the pick of Blackmon last year because he was injured....and he turned out great. I mean look at the potential in Dayo...guy is super gifted. So what if he misses a year. They think because AC retired we HAD to get a LT. We signed tackles in FA...Sam Tevi started 14 games in front of a rookie qb who was slow to make his reads and get the ball out. There are still a couple out there that we can go after like Fischer if we feel we need to make a move. I'm not saying it's a home run but man the Colts got value with those first two picks. Heck I like the specialist TE to take Burtons role and the WR out of Charleston...kid is physical specimen....who knows in a couple years what he might be and you can stash him on the PS. Colts will win now....but if you just focus on now in the draft...you're more likely to hurt down the road. I trust Ballard way more than these sports writers. Then for example they look at their sheet and it says Bears need QB and OL. Bears select a QB and RT....well OMG they must have done great!!! Despite the fact that there are indeed question marks about Fields (who I think holds on to the ball way way too long). Forgive me if I don't trust yet another of the latest Ohio St qb's in Meyers system that makes reads simple for them but don't translate to NFL.  If something fits their narrative then well it must be great...just lazy work to me. No one digs down to find the truth in a story. It's how fast can I get my article out there...not how accurate is my work.

3 MIC players drafted and another from Cathedral. 

2 from LC and 1 from BD. We got none of them, that stops now. 

Glad someone else brought this up. Was talking with buddy yesterday. 4 Indy players drafted and not one of them was with us. Hopefully as you say it stops soon. I can hear and feel the momentum building up here...but until we consistently send guys to the league that's just going to have to be another hurdle we climb.
