5 Bold Predictions for Indianapolis Colts in Free Agency

I would take Knighton over Suh also. I read though that he said he's willing to take less to stay there. But that might be the usual lip service. I think chapman would be good rotation or back up but he hasn't shown he can be the guy in the middle. He was completely taken out of the NE game by their back up center. 1v1 at that.

I don't think Suh will come here. . . he wants to go to a big city.  

 

I'm mixed on him.  His talent would make our defense a lot tougher. . . But the guy is almost guaranteed to cost us one game by committing a 15 yard penalty at the wrong time.  

 

I think we should sign a RB in FA and get one in the mid to late rounds of the draft.

 

I wouldn't put big money on receivers honestly.  I think the biggest name I would go for is like Eddie Royal.  But no sense going after a guy like DT.   The thing for me is that a big name and big money WR isn't going to IMO help us win as much as improvements elsewhere.  With a big name WR Luck could put up huge numbers of yards and touchdowns. . . but if you ask me Luck can succeed in bringing us wins with just some decent WR's, a run game and a defense.  

 

Luck will get his no matter who the receivers are.  Look at the game against KC in the playoffs, that was an absolutely terrible cast of receivers outside of Hilton who they doubled up on and Luck still got yards and got us the win despite the defense allowing us to go down by quite a bit early in the game.

 

Don't get me wrong I'm all for re-signing Hilton and I'm not talking about going bare bones on receiver.  But if we're gonna go all out for a star, I don't think it should be at receiver.  Honestly I think I'd rather have Suh. . . If we're gonna spend big money on a FA it should be on a top OL that is a great run blocker or a top defensive lineman.  

 

Guys I'm interested in FA . . .  

 

Iupati

Royal, Crabtree

Ridley, Gore, Lynch (if Seattle lets him go for cap reasons) 

Knighton

    • You think the Ed Dodds you see in edited clips here is the same as the Ed Dodds who interviews with teams?   I don’t know you or anyone would think that?      He’s very much respected around the NFL which is why multiple teams ask to interview with them most every year. 
    • I was too hahaha  Why’s that
    • Round 1 - #15 A. Xavier Worthy, WR, Texas B. Brian Thomas, WR, LSU C. Brock Bowers, TE, Georgia   Round 2 - #46  A. Edgerrin Cooper, LB, Texas A&M B. Marshall Kneeland, DE, Western Michigan C. Jaden Hicks, S, Washington State   Round 3 - #82 A. Troy Franklin, WR, Oregon B. Darius Robinson, DE/DT, Missouri C. Ben Sinnott, TE, Kansas State   Round 4 - #117 A. Jalyx Hunt, DE, Houston Christian B. Mason McCormick, OG, South Dakota State C. Malik Washington, WR, Virginia   Round 5 - #151 A. Beaux Limmer, OC, Arkansas B. Tanor Bortolini, OC, Wisconsin C. Isaac Guerendo, RB, Louisville   Round 6 - #191 A. Decamerion Richardson, CB, Mississippi State B. Qwan'tez Stiggers, CB, Toronto C. Nick Gargiulo, OC, South Carolina   Round 7 - #234 A. Millard Bradford, SS, TCU B. Mark Perry, FS, TCU C. Dalton Tucker, OG, Marshall   BONUS: Will the Colts trade the #15 pick this year?  A: Yes, they will trade back.  
    • Yeah... Richardson needs players who can separate and who can get open deep. IMO "give the inaccurate QB a contested catch receiver with large catch radius" is one of the tropes that hasn't proven to work well. Contested catches have about 50-55% success rate even with the best of contested catch receivers and with relatively accurate QBs... now if you think AR's accuracy is not good, drop that rate even more. The best way to give a relatively inaccurate QB better chance to complete passes is to give him a WR who separates and and who is open so the QB would have more of a margin for error to throw the ball a little behind or ahead or a little higher or lower than ideal. (we are not talking about uncatchable balls here... those will be uncatchable for anyone really). In that regard, one thing I would agree about is - we need WRs who have good hands and have good ball skills.   And this is ignoring that AR has indeed been pretty good with his accuracy on passes at intermediate and long range. His biggest problem coming into the league was the short stuff and he was already showing improvements in that deparment before he got injured.    And Worthy is the WR who created the most separation from anybody in this draft :   
    • Richardson  accuracy  on deep balls is his strength.  Hence why you pair an elite deep threat in worthy.
