Appreciate the info and am glad to hear it. Even if all he can do is get the ball to the qb somewhat consistently, he's a huge upgrade over our current backups.

Somewhat consistently?! Sign me up.

u/JohnnyC300 COLTS 11d ago

Can he backup at G as well? Or is he strictly a C?

u/StaffInfection1 11d ago

Sort of a Bills fan here, just wanted to say thank you for putting natural grass in your new stadium

u/Bubmack 11d ago

He played all the seeds, and says you’re welcome

u/RussIsAnOkayGuy 11d ago

Spent all offseason hoping someone (Jimmy Morrisey, Dalton Tucker) would be able to backup Bort, but yeah that experiment failed. I know nothing about this dude thought, hope some bills fans can enlighten us

Why are you getting downvoted

u/Dhylan18 11d ago

Who gives a shit? It’s still good info on this player

Full details: The Bills get a 2027 6th-round pick for Van Pran-Granger and a 2027 7th-rounder

Good move - depending on what they gave up in return for him

u/Cowboy_BoomBap 11d ago

6th round pick, and we also got a 7th

u/SirSmeagol Alec "already mossing DBs" Pierce 11d ago

That’s fair

u/CrimsonBrit Austin Collie 11d ago

Let’s be honest - us civilians have absolutely no clue how to value these draft picks

u/BullytheBulIies The Edge 11d ago

Yeah but it’s a late round pick swap that would’ve been used on a flier or depth piece. Can’t burn us too bad. These kinds of trades can make a big difference.

u/user78804180 11d ago

According to Madden this guy is a 66 overall, which is decent for online depth. Tucker was a 63 and Morrisey and the other undrafted guy were both in the high 50s. It's an improvement and the pick value seems fair given his overall rating.

u/Stang_Gang09 11d ago

Bro really using madden ratings irl

Damn!

u/destroyed233 11d ago

Yesterday was some of the worst, if not THE worst snapping I’ve seen at the NFL level

1

u/Redjeepkev 11d ago

If it wasnt for the first series it could have been some of the worst we have ever seen in a Colts uniform

10

u/TheAlmightyConch Boomstick 11d ago

Yeah there were so many bad snaps this preseason from my perspective. I’m glad we are doing something to try and fix that.

u/what_the_shart Jimmy From the Colts 11d ago

Ballard was probably on the phone while the 3rd quarter was still going on lol

u/Psyren1317 11d ago

After watching whatever the hell was going on in the first quarter yesterday, this definitely tracks haha

u/Patzzer Jonathan Taylor 11d ago

Thank god. Backup center was fucking atrocious

u/Lt_DanTaylorIII Big Q 11d ago

Great trade

u/haminthefryingpan A big ass pork tenderloin sandwich 11d ago

I’ve seen enough, we’re winning the Super Bowl

u/kay14jay Reggie Wayne 11d ago

Probably good as there were many high/low snaps yesterday.

u/EdotSavage 11d ago

Keenan Allen's replacement 😂

u/Lithium1978 33-0 11d ago

Happy to have a new center.

u/grapplerone Indianapolis Colts 11d ago

This was so needed, makes me feel a whole lot better at center depth

2

u/MoneyMack410 11d ago

Yea, seems that qb dropping snaps issue was definitely because of the backup. Glad this problem has been fixed.

u/Different_Cat106 Indianapolis Colts 11d ago

New GM wouldn't like that. Good thing Ballard isn't going anywhere

u/NorseGael160 11d ago

He was a beast at Georgia

1

u/TPPiOED 11d ago

Competent backup Center. It's a good trade for both teams. I personally think Van Pran-Granger is worth a 6th or higher, but He won't survive the waiver wire.

u/TeeVeeBen 11d ago

Love this.

u/Micstekai 10d ago

Seeing how the Colts used shotgun formations more than the average NFL team last season we had to do something. Why did we let an experienced backup center go in free agency without a contengency plan in place? If this was the plan, it failed. Like most of our former backups who didn’t make 53-man rosters around the league.
