where do you see the biggest need

 

 

Couple of points....    First,  corner is the biggest immediate need,  because that draft pick is going to start.  But that doesn't necessarily mean we're taking a corner first.    Though we might.    I can't imagine we'd take a corner any later than the 2nd round.  And then perhaps a 2nd corner a round or two later.

 

Second....  the next biggest overall position of need is Pass Rush.  We can get by with Sheard and Simon,  but in the Big Picture,  you never have enough pass rush,  plus, while we're drafting high,  we have to take advantage and draft the future starters at OLB.      Pass Rush is really the top priority,  but you asked about IMMEDIATE need.

 

Third....   another position of need is NT.    Parry is a decent back-up, but I don't see him as a starter.   I'm still hoping we sign Hankins,  but the lack of rumors connecting the Colts to him is very discouraging.   (Sigh...)

 

Fourth...    until he's beaten out,  I wouldn't have Aiken ahead of Dorsett,  but maybe that's just me....

 

Fifth...    Spence and Edwin Jackson play the same spot.   The WILL inside backer.   Replace Jackson's name with the hugely popular Morrison,  because he's the leader at the MIKE backer unless and until we draft one.

 

Otherwise,  nice job and thanks for doing this.          :thmup:

    • I just cant understand taking D line over a CB this year.  WR or Bowers would make sense to me   If the team doesnt value corners this way then maybe they should start.  I dont like to pigeon hole what we draft this hard but our secondary is a bunch of nobodies and our Dline is ok, better than ok actually.  We dont even have many snaps for a rookie unless they are a really good edge right out of the gate. A rookie DT from this class isnt beating Buckner or Stewart.
    • We see many coverage failures by all teams caused by miscommunication.  Certainly there are exceptional individuals that play CB but experience and intelligence are vital.  Flowers had size and 4.3's speed, and Jones was decent. Juju has potential but because of his size and speed he will always be successfully targeted.   We are desperate for a 4.3's stud that can cover anytime, anywhere. That was Rodgers BTW. 
    • Isaiah Land he says.     Every year it happens. The Dallas Cowboys make some tough roster cuts and we all wait nervously to see if our favorite prospects make it cleanly through waivers. Most do, but every once in a while, a team will scoop up that one guy we were hoping made it to the practice squad. This year, that player is edge rusher Isaiah Land. An undrafted free agent from Florida A&M, Land dealt with injuries his final year in college, but had a remarkable season in 2021 when he finished with 19 sacks, 25.5 tackles for a loss, and three fumble recoveries. While there is a lot to be uncovered with him, he still flashed enough to draw interest from the Cowboys. Throughout the summer, the young edge rusher had impressed and it looked like the team had found another diamond in the rough. Land was fantastic during the preseason. In three games, he finished with 10 total pressures, which was the second-most of any player on any NFL team this preseason. He also finished with seven hurries on 45 pass-rushing snaps. He only recorded one official sack but finished with a pass rush win rate of 20%. Not only that, he had opposing tackles so worried about his get-off that they were regularly jumping early. There were several instances when tackles would get called for a false start.    Might as well be optimistic about  Woods and Land contributing to our resurrection. 
    • Nice catch Stitch.  Year two of Steichen, our very functional TE group and Downs gives me very high expectations that we will be highly effective attacking the middle of the field. If we do add another WR to help complement the other side of the field, Pittman's ability to be even more outstanding only goes up. And I feel confident another guy will be added. Our offense should be very strong for 2024.
    • I'm hopeful Colts resign Blackmon and do this in the draft
