2013 NFL Draft/FA


Recommended Posts

NoOne would give up a draft pick for him.

Were you one of those fans upset because we cut Pro Bowler Addai?

No I was neutral on the Addia release, Injuries and age caught up with him,. Also considering Brown has one year left on his deal and its past the trade deadline your right but my point was get him a competant O Line to run behind he would be decent I think which he proved last year even though under different circumstances. Maybe he is better in a Zone Blocking system but he was outgaining Ballard in yards and ypc with Ballard close in the same carry attempts at the time, I love the power running game but also like the playmaking threat that Brown is, He is fast enough to score from anywhere on the field on 1 touch. I like the combination but suspect either Brown or Ballard can both carry the load

Good backs play good even behind average lines.

4.8ypc and 3.9 is good in my book but going with your opinion Trent is not a good Back because he averages 3.5 ypc? Or Darren Mcfadden is not a good Back all of a sudden because he is averaging 3.4 ypc? Backs have to get plenty of carries to be affective

As far as free agents these are the people that I would like the Colts to look at.

Ryan Clady first-round talent at left tackle

Jake long first-round pick at left tackle

Levitre a guard from Buffalo

DeShawn Goldson to replace Tom

I think we let Franey walk and replace them with Anthony Spencer

we draft the defense of and out of BYU Ziggy 6 foot seven 270 pounds

with our third and fourth pick we take the best available player.

Also remember that were going to get Ben healthy back from an ACL injury

we also should get Josh Chapman back and healthy with fillia and Drake

Costanzo could make a transition to right tackle if Clady or long can be signed.

I think this shores up a lot of inconsistent play on the offense of line as well as adding depth to the defense of line.

If there's any money left maybe take a run at Connor Barwin. This also gives us depth at the outside linebacker position.

Now I understand that depending on how the money goes and does type of things you don't always get everybody on your wish list but just a thought

This will all change depending on what the Colts pick up in Free Agency, but i do not think any draft pick spent on a pass rusher or lineman is a terrible pick for this team. 

That's all I am looking for mainly, a few new big hogs for Andrew or the D'Line and a pass rusher or two to replace Freeney in the 3-4.

    • I just thought I would take this opportunity to brag a bit about the fact that I had the opportunity to chat with Peyton at the Masters last week for about 5 minutes.  Truly a bucket list experience and I must say, he has the Southern Hospitality that one might expect but wow- did not expect to run into him and it was quite the experience.  It just had to be the one place left on earth where cell phones are banned, so no picture opportunity unfortunately.   I told Peyton that my first Colts experience was riding to Buffalo in a blizzard when the Colts were 14-0 and they benched him only to lose that game. I said thanks for my first Colts experience being one where he was riding the pine.  He laughed, apologized to me and said that if it was up to him he would have been checking down in that snow storm for 4 quarters.  He thanked me for the support, and was asking me a bit about myself, where I am from, etc.  Quite the gentleman! I think it was obligatory for him to be nice to patrons while he was wearing his Green Jacket, but none the less....a great experience meeting a childhood hero. Lynn Swann walked up to us while we were talking and shook Peyton's hand.  I joked that now was the perfect time for a 10 yard slant- and then slid into the bushes like Homer Simpson with humility.    Unforgettable experience everyone!   Would love to hear some of your Peyton stories from over the years, since it is a bit of a slow time of year before the draft! Let it fly Colts fans  
    • I agree.  I think this is another one of those over-hyped QB classes that will probably never perform to the level of the hype. But -- teams still need a quarterback.  And will convince themselves that that must take one of these quarterbacks.  That it's the only solution to their problem.  If I was forced to choose, I would probably go with Heisman winner Jayden Daniels.  I'm concerned that Caleb Williams may have some personality issues to go with his lack of measurables, even though he shows strong ability to improvise.  Drake Maye has the measurables, but I have questions regarding the level of opposition playing at UNC.  It's not the same as playing the equivalent of the Crimson Tide every single week.  JJ McCarthy is "good".  And he's been successful.  He led his team to a BCS championship.  And?  I see him in the same mold as AJ McCarron.  Supremely successful in college, but not good enough to be The Guy in the pros.
    • Right. KC was also a perennial playoff team prior to Mahomes taking over. The Colts are a fringe playoff team at best, until we see if AR can lift the roster.    And to your point, Veach took over the summer before Mahomes’ rookie year. Hard to compare how KC’s FO approach with Dorsey at GM (for several years) vs. when Veach took over. It seems like Ballard has been more like Dorsey and Veach might just operate differently from both of them.    If Ballard wanted to follow the Veach KC model, he sure waited a long time to do it once Luck retired. 
    • DeFo was an aggressive move.   But I wouldn’t classify Wentz or Ryan as aggressive moves. Getting Stafford would have been an aggressive move at QB. Wentz was cheaper and PHI was looking to dump him. They didn’t even budge from their initial offer to PHI  And Ryan sort of fell in their laps after they dumped Wentz. 
    • I think most important option is missing in the poll : No One.   I think it's a fairly average QB class that it's okay to not like anybody enough to draft him. There's no one QB that Wows you with their pocket passing Caliber or pure athletic traits or good combination of both. It's like a tweener class of all those abilities, having lop-sided combination of above said skills.    And, this poll, rather than forcing to pick one QB, needed that extra option to express staying away from this QB class.
