As a Colts fan, this pick was awkward for me.
I worked up nice hatred of Tyler Warren over the course of last college football season.
He set all the records a TE could set.
Put together one of the best seasons in college football history.
He was going to win the John Mackey Award for nation’s best TE.
In the end, they just had to give it to the Penn State guy.
They gotta get the TE award too.
C’mon, college football.
Why can’t you just give the award to the little guy one time?
Just let Bowling Green have one nice thing.
God damn it I’m getting myself worked up again.
I already wrote a whole ass Tyler Warren slander blog once.
I don’t need to do another one.
But that doesn’t matter.
We’re on the same team now.
The man who Ithoughtwas the consensus TE1 in the NFL Draft fell into the Colts lap last night.
But this ain’t no Reinhold Schunzel film*.
Ok sorry that’s the last dig.
It was maybe the most obvious pick of the night.
It went from “13.
Miami Dolphins - Kenneth Grant”, straight to “14.
Indianapolis Colts - The Pick is In”.
Not a person in Indy lost a wink of sleep over their first round pick last night.
If one of them can manage to do that, then the Colts might have something this year.
They could use a player to replace E.J.
That one seems pretty farfetched.
I’ve never been high on Shedeur as an NFL QB.
Although now that he has the whole, “everybody passed on me” thing… That’s just how the football gods work sometimes.
Good job so far, Chris Ballard.
You’re pitching a perfect game.
You haven’t had to do anything.
But sometimes doing literally nothing is harder than it looks.
At which point Schunzel feed to Hollywood, America to avoid the Holocaust.
I wanted to work that reference into our En Eff El Draft show for the Colts pick last night.
Would have been real wacky.
If I was better with words/more confident I would have done it.
Instead I just rambled nervously about Harold Fannin Jr.
It was Yom Hashoah** yesterday too.
The timing couldn’t have been better.
** Yom Hashoah is Holocaust Remembrance Day in Hebrew.
It ran from sundown April 23 to sundown April 24.
Nick Turani could have made that reference work.
