  1. Very excited about the soon to be 36 year old Jackson. I'm surprised he's still available . I probably won't sleep until Ballard pulls the trigger on this one.
  2. I'm thinking he ends up trading down to around P 25 . By the charts , that would net us a late second rounder. We would then have approx. picks 25 , 46 and 60. Maybe then trade a 3rd or 4th to move up from P 60 ? Obviously this all depends on how the colt board breaks out in the first 12-14 picks.
  3. Do you think Ballard values Latu over Verse and Chop Robinson ? I;m thinking Verse goes before Latu as his combine numbers are off the charts. Robinson also has what Ballard values but his production probably pushes him down a bit. Maybe mid 20's ?
  4. Since Ballard thinks the FA period is for suckers , the most interesting part of this almost 130 page thread is our dogs.
  5. https://share.icloud.com/photos/0f9qI9Zf3eoyEnEkgbd97wLbQ Mine looks like a guinea pig. I won't say what my wife paid for this thing. Should have named it Kujo as it rips us to shreds. You have 2 fine looking hounds. Not sure that photo link will work as I never tried this kind of posting of a photograph
  6. We had a Golden Doodle that made it to around 15. We now have a 2 month old Golden Doodle that is a nightmare to take care of. Thing goes into attack mode 2-3 times a day . Never had a dog like this and it's tough on my wife and I as we have reached our 70's. Smart and funny dog but brutal...
  7. You get the second rounder by trading your 2025 first . Or something more complicated like this years 3rd and next years 2nd and a tad more. But pretty much will be significant 2025 draft capital.
  8. Cap "room" is really not the issue. Not only are the options you mention available , the Colts could also structure a contract with a large signing bonus , large 2nd or 3rd year roster bonuses and a small first year salary. Next year the cap will go up and we won't have any big cap casualties like we did this year with Shaq.
  9. I already admitted you were smarter than me , what more do you want ? I really didn't think your post was all that informative or funny. I basically read it quickly and saw Simmons mentioned and decided to comment that it won't happen. BTW.. the Colts could afford him by SIMPLY setting his first year salary low and extending probably just one player. Also have the MAC contract and won't have 8 mill in dead cap like we did this year. I'll try to get some help reading and understanding you post so you won't be posting how I'm missing the point .
  10. Never said that your post said "hey the Colts are going to sign Simmons." But whatever... you're just too intelligent for me to follow , so I'll give it up.
  11. Didn't "miss the point " as your post is hardly above anyones comprehension level. I was just commenting to the your thought that some Colt fans think Ballard might still sign Simmons. Comprende ?
  12. Ballard is not signing Simmons. take it to the bank. Look for a journeyman OL and maybe a DB that is not highly sought after.
  13. I must have read this over 100 times in the last few years. It is posted over and over during the FA signing period . The post usually read something like this... " we didn't pursue those top tier CBs as Ballard prefers to build through the draft." It just occurred to me that that makes no sense. What does how you spend your cap money , have to do with "building through the draft. " Yeah .. now and then a team trades picks to acquire an elite player.The Rams did so previous their last SB . But for the most part , every team values their draft picks. I don't see how Ballard's free agent approach has much to do at all with how he values his draft picks.
  14. Just found this on Blackmon... Bleacher Reports Jordan Schultz reports free agent S Julian Blackmon is visiting with the 49ers. Blackmon met with the Bills last week and has “several suitors,” according to Schultz. Blackmon totaled four interceptions, 88 tackles, and five TFLs for the Colts last season in what was arguably the best year of his career. While it’s possible a deal between Blackmon and the 49ers gets done, it wouldn’t be surprising if he met with a few more teams before settling on a landing spot.
  15. Yeah... maybe it was Edwards or Blackmon ? Only visit I saw Blackmon take was Buffalo and they signed Edwards. I'm thinking Blackmon or Diggs. Then a pretty good O Lineman and a small piece here or there.
  16. I could re-post a thread I put out a few days before the FA period began. I said "everyone better be prepared to be disappointed ." Ballard would overpay for his own and not bring in any of the players we were hoping for. " You can argue the point about "over- paying" but those contracts have to be considered "top of the market " deals . These players did not IMO give the Colts any "hometown discounts." I mean LOL on this signing . We spent 14 mill on a back up DT because this guy played so poorly . Now as we are waiting on Snead or another top CB or at least a good safety and what do we see? Fuller having dinner with the Chargers and Ballard resigning the guy he paid 14 mill to replace. If I were the Colts , I would have waited a long time before I made this signing public. I'm not and never will be a Ballard basher , but I feel like a fool as I keep checking the various sites looking for FA signings. I can't say Ballard as "messed" up as I don't know who he wanted , who he went after and also did players he wanted have no desire to come to Indy. Just saying that this sucks....
  17. We really do need to sign 2 safeties and I think Edwards and one of the 2 you mention is not out of then question
  18. Stats are decent over 100 tackles 5 passes defended. It's a typical Ballard signing . Serviceable player that maybe gets signed to a one year deal. Gives us a little depth and the room is pretty empty. Hard for me to believe Rodney Thomas is being counted on to make the team this year. So maybe all Colts figure they have presently are Cross and Scott ? R Harrison is now a LB... correct ?
  19. I doubt Ballard will not make a move on a FA DB ( CB or S) until close to draft date. That would be crazy.
  20. I don't think his post is worth a response as it's nonsense.
  21. When I tweeted I was told the two sides were progressing towards a contract being done. They hit a bump, and if they can't get over it that's the reason the deal doesn't happen. I still think they find a way but it's a waiting game right now. The NFL offseason is wild, things can change in a blink of an eye, which tells you how confident I was yesterday to put that out at all
