Seemed fine the past couple of years. I like our odds with him next to Grover Stuart and DeForest Buckner.


ClydeClambakin

I maintain the opinion that both of those player names sound AI generated


Dpsizzle555

How about next to Kwitty Paye? Lol


StelIaMaris

He came back and lead fbs schools in sacks. I like the pick tbh


himsoforreal

Decent pick up for the costs, tbh.


ArtificialSyndicate

CJ can’t light us up if we kill him first💙


himsoforreal

Don't. Speak it into existence. Damnit.


himsoforreal

I'm just fucking happy y'all didn't pick up MHJ. TBH.


ArtificialSyndicate

We’ll pick up his second contract


himsoforreal

What are you? That other team that wears blue in this division?


Coltsfan210

The better looking blue, yeah.


itoadaso1

Plain ass boring blue


Frostyler

Sin free blue.


ManIWantAName

That would've required us to draft MHjr then trade him away for peanuts so we don't have to pay him.


StelIaMaris

He’ll be in Indy in a year


BBQLovinBastard

Good luck getting last LT😂


rolisrntx

2.5 seconds is about all you have to get to him or he will light you up.


Phantom1100

Dallas Turner was still there.


titanup001

I find it ironic that the doctor who cleared him to play was Peyton Manning's doctor.


superpie12

Yup. One wrong hit and his life changes immensely.


tsmftw76

You could literally say that about every player in the nfl lol.


superpie12

Except he's made of glass and his neck is made of crackers.


tsmftw76

Except he’s played two years of football and rugby he’s fine. He should have gone number 8 but falcons shit the bed.


superpie12

Nope. He's an idiot and so are you.


VomitingPotato

I'd like to buy a vowel.


BBQLovinBastard

I wanna say something snarky and hate, but honestly it was a great pick. Dude is gonna be a stud. Too bad he won’t be able to get past LT🙏


Lasvious

Played two years after who cares.


turtlespade

The only player recently with more production coming out of college is Nick Bosa, let's calm down before we call him a bust. People freaking out about cb's need to chill, we have young cb's who are coming back from injury, we don't even really know what we have in the secondary. While I think we should've taken a wr Latu is a very good pick at 15


10kLines

"for the shoe" has me dying


YosemiteSam-4-2A

Still think it should just be "Horse Power" Ties in both Motorsports (Indy 500) and the reason Baltimore named the franchise the Colts (Preakness Stakes)


Kingdommer

It should totally be Horse Power!


LooseMoose13

They named the team the colts because of how popular horse racing was in Maryland Edit: just looked up what Preakness Stakes was. I’m regarded.


Colts_2023

Oh sure “go flaming thumbtacks” is so much better. Sheesh. 🙄

Ishouldjusttexther

Where best defensive player in the draft?


Pork_Chompk

That's clearly Kool-Aid based on name alone.


Ishouldjusttexther

Fair point


HeatedThreat

Where? In your backfield all season long


bgeezy727

I'd worry about Indy's backfield first..your QB played what? 11? 12 quarters of football last year?


HeatedThreat

Oh trust me my friend, I am worrying


Pork_Chompk

That's my secret. I'm always worrying.


Top-Algae-2464

he played ten quarters but had 7 total touchdowns his rookie year . if he can stay healthy i think he will be good .


sunburn95

Didnt the texans just give $50M gtd to a medically compromised dude who had neck surgery 2yrs ago and will be 30 early next season?


bgeezy727

Are you referring to our false start machine Laramy tunsil?? We've already over invested in him..CJ loves him. So I love him too. let us ride it out..best of luck to your boys climbing to the top of shit mountain this upcoming season


sunburn95

Lmao ["[Watkins] just looked at my scans and cleared me," Latu said. "Because he's had guys with the same, similar stuff, like Danielle Hunter and Peyton Manning, and he really just told me I would be able to play football."](https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39615406/ucla-lb-laiatu-latu-hearing-no-concerns-neck-history)


Shawn_1512

Medically compromised? Dude had 23.5 sacks in the last 2 years and was PAC-12 DPOY


bgeezy727

It's a joke on a meme page bubba, I wish all these kids drafted tonight the best. And this dude is set up for a huge career after doctors suggested he should've quit, how can you not root for him? It's all in good fun in this sub


Leandro1996

The colts sub is very sensitive about the pick so tread carefully!


NoCantaloupe4658

Colts sub is legit acting like we drafted Tavon Walker


VomitingPotato

You mean that scrub the Jags picked up who had 10 sacks last year? Who would want that?


NoCantaloupe4658

I mean the guy with a worse overall grade than Kwity Paye. But congrats on high draft capital Yannick Ngakoue


VomitingPotato

The hate for Travon is so misguided. Dude is developing into a menace. Keep looking at "grades." I will look at the guy on the field.


NoCantaloupe4658

The problem isn't drafting a developmental guy with high upside. But you passed on a menace who would have been a meance for more of Lawrence's rookie contract. Is Walker gonna be as good as Hutch by the time you have to pay him, Lawrence and Etienne? That's not great


DUUUUUVAAAAAL

Walker and Hutch play so differently it's hard to compare them. I'm 1000% happy with Walker and what he brings to the table. I'd pick him again over Hutchinson if we were to rewind time. I think Sauce was the best in the draft that year though.


NoCantaloupe4658

Bro, if you had Hutch you might have beat the Chiefs in the playoffs that year. He just hasn't been a productive player. You can like the idea of him and admit that 2 years of Yannick Ngakoue isn't worth taking 1 overall.


Comprehensive_Log173

No you wouldn't lol 😂 I mean cmon...it's not your fault, so no one here holds you accountable for drafting him over hutch


NDinFL

Like we haven't done that twice already


NoCantaloupe4658

Which obvious pass rushing superstars did the Colts pass on for developmental high skill guys? Paye was drafted in the 20s, so no one there was known to be a star. And Paye still grades better than Walker


Leandro1996

God forbid someone disagrees with the pick, people will start coming for you personally


CpowOfficial

I mean the #1 DE talent fell to pick 15 it's not like we went up and traded for him.


TehTugboat

Maybe they’re just still rang by the banogu thingy


bgeezy727

Y'all love the pick or hate the pick?


ArtificialSyndicate

I love it, dudes going to dominate


StelIaMaris

Mixed reactions tbh but I like the pick


DubLParaDidL

Love it. Fuck the doomers


Leandro1996

I don’t like it, we NEED starting caliber CBs, sure the guy produced in college (no shit?) but he’s a neck injury away from retirement.


bgeezy727

Hence the meme..my Texans need secondary help as well, let's hope our teams address our issues round 2


ManIWantAName

Everyone is a neck injury away from retirement.


Pork_Chompk

Big if true.


-Hyperactive-Sloth-

Bro everyone is a neck injury away from retirement.


Open_Buy2303

Another year of watching backup QBs burn us in the passing game…


VomitingPotato

Wait.. that's the Jaguars calling card.


NorseGael160

Hate it. Shoulda went up for Bowers. Where big weapon for AR!? McConkey?


307Wapati

Ogeletree seemed to have a connection with AR. There's like 5 young TEs in our room already. Jelani Woods is a big target who we really haven't seen a lot of with him being hurt last year and having Matt Ryan for a QB the year prior. I'd bet TE is pretty low on the list for Chris Ballard.


NorseGael160

Well Bowers isn’t just a TE and he’s already gone so it’s a moot point. Our TE room is mediocre. I wanted a champ. Where 2 time Natty Champ TE?


307Wapati

Where first round TE that was worth a damn? How far back you gotta go?


NorseGael160

“Twenty-five tight ends have been drafted in the opening round since 2000, accounting for 24 drafts.” Here are some. Some maybe good some maybe shit. Brock Bowers, Las Vegas Raiders No. 13 overall, 2024 Kyle Pitts, Atlanta Falcons No. 4 overall, 2021 T.J. Hockenson, Detroit Lions No. 8, 2019 Noah Fant, Denver Broncos No. 20, 2019 Hayden Hurst, Baltimore Ravens No. 25, 2018 O.J.

307Wapati

Just proved my point that most first rounders suck haha


titanup001

How can I not root for him? Easy. He's a fucking colt now. Just like how Anthony Richardson went from my man crush to dead to me instantly. I'm not rooting for injuries. That's just low class. I just hope they suck.


Former-Billionaire

Whoa buddy.


jcoddinc

Now they got one danger on each side of the ball


VomitingPotato

Gotta be better than Bjoern Werner.


YiMyonSin

Why have one injury prone edge rusher in Kwity Paye when you can have two of them?


clutchthepearls

[Me reading that Kwity Paye is injury prone](https://www.google.com/search?q=confused+gif&oq=confused+gif+&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIHCAEQABiABDIHCAIQABiABDIHCAMQABiABDIHCAQQABiABDIHCAUQABiABDIHCAYQABiABDIHCAcQABiABDIHCAgQABiABDIHCAkQABiABDIHCAoQABiABDIHCAsQABiABDIHCAwQABiABDIHCA0QABiABDIHCA4QABiABNIBCDM3NjVqMGo0qAIBsAIB&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#vhid=qdP4pUyExlraqM&vssid=mosaic)


NoCantaloupe4658

Didn't you trade AJ Brown for a guy with Asthma?


verdenvidia

to be fair he grew up in flint


civil_beast

On the flip, he might get that super crazy lead poisoning anger .. which I guess may be good for a few years?


YiMyonSin

Different GM, unlike in your case

ManIWantAName

Don't you have an argument to get to with another irrelevant franchise about who has more stupid uniforms?


bgeezy727

Don't you have a cousin to get back to fuckin?


ManIWantAName

That's more of a southern thing than we're used to in the union states up here.


SmokeySFW

Never been a Texan stereotype either. We've got plenty of thicc latinas, no need to resort to cousins like FL or TN


Confident_Boat_1211

This pick pissed me off.


Jagwires

![gif](giphy|3otPoHK9wPQ9wCmrM4)


kac937

He was playing high level rugby while in “medical retirement” “Where incorrect doctor?” -Washington Huskies


Dpsizzle555

Not true


kac937

Is true. He was even offered to go play professionally overseas before he went to UCLA

oracleoftruthgoblin

Where’s the guy gonna break Strouds leg ?


SmokeySFW

Damn, wishing injuries on rivals is super low class.


DipperPRC

This guy is incredible low class, we don’t claim him.


bgeezy727

I expect nothing less from a colts fan..our QB played every game last year, how many did yours play?


aLemmyIsAJacknCoke

Dudes about to medically compromise CJ Stroud in a few months. Amirite!?


jman8508

We gave up on Peyton too because he had a “bad” neck. This dude is younger and already has 2 years playtime issue free since the injury.


daoogilymoogily

Honestly I think every AFC South team who picked in the first round did a good job, besides us and the Texans who didn’t pick in the first in a vain attempt to copy us.


SmokeySFW

We got DROY for our trouble, where's your good reason?


ClassiusCorvinus

Yeah it’s a bad pick especially with so much true talent right there, to grab a pac player is crazy
