Well today was fun, too!  I think my favorite pick of the day was blocking TE Eldridge, but frankly because they're Colts right now... they're ALL my favorites!

GREEN APPLES AND ROAD APPLES

Positive and Negative Analysis

• Bob Kravitz (Indy Star) You just can't criticize Polian during the draft, and notes Hughes as a prime example of a great fit
• John Oesher (Indy Football Report) reminds us that Polian doesn't reach for players (though I'd kinda like to ask about Pat Angerer)
  
• Mike Chappell (Indy Star) The Colts went all defense in the first three rounds
• Dan Arkush (ProFootballWeekly.com) Even if the Colts whiffed on their draft selections, they're getting two #1 equivalents back in Sanders and Gonzo
  
• Paul Kuharsky (ESPN) reviews the picks of McClendon and Eldridge.  After getting caught up in what may have been one of Polian's smokescreens here and here, he realizes the potential ruse around Fisher.
• Nate Dunlevy (18to88.com) talks about the O-Line smokescreen and what we've learned in this draft
• Phillip B. Wilson (Indy Star) The Colts get their first offensive pick of this draft, a blocking TE, and finally a returner
• Michael Marot (AP) issues a story he was probably sitting on for days
• WISH-TV (Channel 8) The Colts are happy with their draft
• Graham Couch (Kalamazoo Gazette) QB Tim Hiller jumped on the chance to sign with the Colts

• Richard Sandomir (NY Times) The new format is here to stay, though I also read the third day may be done in a city different from the first two
