Trades

[Luckynumber12]

Hey everyone anybody see grigs pulling off a sio Moore type deal to address CB depth? OLB depth RB depth 

[AZColt11]

Nah I think they'll wait and see who gets cut around the league.  First cuts are Sunday I think.  Then another round of cuts.  Some good players will be available.  And the Colts need all the draft picks they can get.

I don't anticipate any trades. I think we have some tough calls getting to 53. It would be difficult to upgrade CB or OLB for us at cuts. Not because we have great talent there but teams don't cut talent at those positions.

 

I could see an upgrade at TE3 or adding a veteran WR. We could do better than Butler at CB I think but that could be said from our roster IMO. If he stays I guess I'm missing something.

What you'll be looking for at this time of year in terms of cuts is a guy with good measurables who maybe didn't perform well due to a bad scheme fit,  or a guy who did perform well, but was cut due to  an overload at the position.  I think there will be young guys available who fit in this regard at virtually every defensive position.  Just got to look a little bit and determine the fit.   I know Grigs is going to try and hit the well again after what he got in TY McGill.

On the subject of Bad Scheme Fit guys here's one:

 

Nothing is in stone yet, but one young guy that is interesting to me is Ra'Shede Hageman from the Atlanta Falcons.  I remember a couple years back the Colts took a look at him during the draft process.  To me he's a better fit for a 3-4 defense instead of 4-3.  He's got good strength and it appears he has some quickness too because the Falcons moved him out to Defensive End this season.  I don't think the move to DE is going to work out for him to be honest.   He's got nice size at 6'6" 311lbs.  To me he's more of a 5 technique DE in a 3-4 front and can play some 3 technique from time to time.   I remember the Falcons had one of the better run defenses in the league last year.

 

Falcons' Ra'Shede Hageman could be headed to an end

I would imagine that Hageman is simply filling the run stopping DE role that Red Bryant used to in Seattle for the same scheme that Quinn brought with him.  That is the 2-gap side of the base D.

Could be. Probably right.   I thought our pass rush was bad last year.  The Falcons really stunk, they only had 19 sacks for all of last year.  We say the Colts stunk and we ended with 35

[Dark Superman]

If we were to make a trade I could see it being for something on defense or a backup RB. Would love another pass rusher or inside linebacker, but both are highly unlikely. But I can dream, right?

[Bluefire4]

No but I think we take a hard look at the waiver wire after cuts to 53.

[CanuckColtsFan]

If Hageman is available to us Imhope we grab him. He's got potential

[AZColt11]

Over 1,000 guys will be available in the next 2 weeks.  Let's see what happens.
