Tough decisions coming next offseason

Davis mewhort and moncrief will all be free agents

 

Mewhort imo is the most important to resign just for his youth, production, and our need to have that continuation of the same line together to protect luck.

 

Davis needs to have a big year imo to be resigned. He's battled injuries the last two years which has hindered his production, but he's still performed at a high rate, however he's going to be 30 and Wilson could give us reason to move forward without Davis.

 

Moncrief has the talent to be a one no question, but he's yet to put it all together. He's tremendous in the red zone, but seems to vanish during the course of the game and has dealt with injuries as well.

 

I want them all to be resigned, but I'm not sure if that will be the case.

I honestly believe the most important person to resign in that group is Mewhort. I wouldn't be surprised if one of them got an extension before the start of the new year. We could up their pay this upcoming season and save us money in the future. We aren't going to use that all of that 16-18 million anyways. 

 

Moncrief IMO will be let go UNLESS he produces a season over 1,000 yards 7+ TD's. Ballard has already went after Ashlon Jeffery. He will be a FA again next offseason. If Jeffery has a good season, I wouldn't be surprised if we go hard after him again. 

 

What I hope is, Mewhort, Moncrief, and Davis all play great and we resign all 3. 

 

But my guess is one of the 3 will not be here this time next year.

If I'm Ballard, I'd even consider re-signing Moncrief and Mewhort this offseason.  Get your young and talented players locked up and keep your nucleus together.  Davis, I'd be more patient.  I'd want to see how he does this year; can he overcome his injuries, can he play more consistently, how valuable is his mentorship to the new and young DBs on the team?

The Colts should be fine, cap-wise, next year. They should have more than enough to keep all 3 if they choose to.

If Moncrief doesn't have a better season than last year even though he was awesome in the redzone I would move on recievers are a dime a dozen Mewhort I would keep Davis needs to have a resurgent season to be resigned if he cant stay healthy this season I would move on.

Mewhort certainly.

 

I think I would want to wait and see how Moncrief and Davis do.

I hope he doesn't go after Jeffery after a good season.  He would cost a lot of money then.  

 

I don't think Moncrief has to put up 1000 yards.  That is #1 WR numbers in most offenses and we don't need Moncrief to be the #1 guy.  But we do need a solid #2 to take the pressure off Hilton.  If Moncrief can put up like 700 yards or so next year then he's a guy to consider bringing back.  TD's are fluky so I don't think the number of TD's matters as much.

I honestly believe that Moncrief needs to have a season that exceeds what he has done so far. If he doesn't provide actual proof he can be that difference maker type of player then it's time to use that money on other players and move on from ones who have that high potential label but haven't yet realized it yet. I like Moncrief but at some point you have to kill it to keep playing. We know his agent will spin it that he is producing #1 stats and needs big money. Can't give that if he doesn't break out this year. Average stats are not enough.

 Hard telling what Ballard will decide to do regarding the 3 Grigson acquisitions. However, Mewhort & Moncrief are two of Grigson's better draftees, who, also fit the mold of the team that it appears Ballard is attempting to assemble, so it would be nice if they are able to be re-signed...

i think you try to get deals inked for Crief and i would see how Mewhort holds up this season. David on the other hand i don't think you need after this season if its a true Youth rebuild and retool movement. If we can get him on the cheap but i don't see Davis as the type of corner they will want long term. Also would like to see whats the smallest corner on the roster 3yrs from now both in height and weight.

    • I like Latu, but don't you think there's a significant number of teams that are scared off by his medical? And then a couple more who will downgrade him because of his age?
    • yeah pretty much what I figured.  If they are going to start mixing up coverages and running more man coverage, then sure grab a CB in the first.  If they're going to continue being a mostly zone team regardless, then no, no round 1 CB.
    • The mission is to build something that has us competing with the best of the best. This is a season for AR to get tuned up.  Who do you think will be the right guys on our roster now to take us to an AFC Championship game?  It's not Smith, Fries, and we likely can't get there with more than 2-3 of our current back seven.  I would offer Buckner to the Bears as part of a trade for 9. Eberflus wants to have a great D so maybe he bites.  Then hopefully trade back 2-3 spots for a good pick.  I'd love to come out of the draft with Latham and the Dline guy.
    • I think he's a little overrated as a corner prospect. Doesn't mean I don't like him, I do. But I was hearing about how incredibly athletic he is, people were talking about him like he was a lockdown defender, then I watch him for a couple games and I don't see that. So at first I was pretty down on him. Then I went back and watched him with my expectations much lower, and I see what he has to offer.   He's definitely athletic, but not the standout, premier athlete people were making him out to be at first. Watching his high school basketball videos helped me contextualize his athleticism, there's plenty of burst there. He has some struggles flipping his hips and staying connected late in the down. He's feisty and physical, plays the run with enthusiasm, tackles well, and he has explosiveness. He's better in shorter areas when he doesn't have to try to keep up with a receiver with elite speed. I know he ran 4.43, but it wasn't a pro day, it was a private workout. I discount timed speeds at pro days, and definitely at private workouts. To me, he's closer to 4.5 than 4.4, and that's what I expected when watching him play.   To me, he's a safety/nickel prospect, not a boundary corner. And if he were looked at as a boundary corner, I think his arm length would probably disqualify him for the Colts, at least in the first round. And I think the Colts already view corner as a Day 2 position. He's said all the right things about playing multiple positions. And while I don't know how the new rules will affect kickoffs, I think it makes sense to have good options at returner, so that helps his stock as well. But I think the second round is the right range for him. If we drafted him, I think we still need a boost on the outside.
    • Personally….  I’m hoping and praying you’re wrong.   I don’t even think Murphy is a Ballard type of player. He’s not tall or long or rangy or athletic.   He’s a 6’1” 300 pound ball of muscle.   I’m not saying he’s not a good player, he is.   But CB has never drafted or signed a player with that body type or athletic background.      Is it possible the Colts draft Murphy?   Yes.  I’m just hoping it doesn’t happen.   I’d be scratching my head forever.   Just my two cents.
