"Landing spot"


AKB

Recommended Posts

I've been seeing a lot of NFL talking heads speaking about possible landing spots for FA and trade bait. What is beginning to frustrate me is that the colts are never mentioned. I know what Ballard said. I've seen every press conference. Please don't fill this thread with Ballard quotes. I guess I'm just tired of the media short changing the colts.

LT mentioned good spot for Hyde is with Colts.

Also heard Pugh to colts, and of course Hitchens. Watkins also but Ravens was mentioned for him as well. And a OG not named Norwell, can't remember the name but it begins with T.

I don't know which media you think are not mentioning the Colts but I see us mentioned often enough...

 

Besides....   either way, it doesn't matter.

 

These predictions have no impact -- zero -- on the real world.    Ballard will do what he's going to do and we will all analyze that for the rest of the off-season..

I hope not! 

 

Gore is better than Hyde, and I'd rather have Crowell from the Browns since they are probably picking Barkley.

You immediately compare Gore and Hyde and then mention wanting Crowell??  That is hilarious.  I would take Hyde over Crowell all day but I would hold off the comparisons to a HoF'er in Gore.  We know Gore is better, trust me the stats tell the story.

they need to go darnold or rosen at #1, otherwise both could be gone by #4.  allen, mayfield and jackson need the right teams and schemes to be successful 

 

im not saying the colts will take one at three, i think somebody like the jets or broncos would love to trade up for rosen and they are only 2 and 3 picks behind us.  the browns cant let that happen when they have the first pick

What's "hilarious" is you spouting off stats telling the story, and then providing none. 

 

Not that I care for PFF but here you go: "No running back gave up more than Hyde's 13 pressures in pass protection, and he also finished with the worst drop rate in the league at 13.2 percent. 

 

  • Isiah Crowell RB, 62.8 overall grade
  • Carlos Hyde, RB, 51.6 overall grade


This is from 2016, but still impressive

Again, I'd rather have Gore and Turbin, but Crowell is better than Hyde.

If Browns don't take Barkley, I think Giants will.

Ya hyde is also injury prone but the one knock I have on Crowell is he is fumble prone.

What hilarious is you clearly not reading my post and spoting off stats on two players I do not care about.  I mentioned Gore and "HIS" stats.  Since you wanted to compare him and Hyde, saying Hyde is not as good.  That is like saying Mack is not as good as Gore...we get it, one is a future HoF'er.

The NFC East does not look forward to that with Barkley inside and OBJ outside plus OL additions in FA, all those make a lot of sense for the Giants making a push for a SB during Eli's home stretch.

 

Lamar Jackson or Mason Rudolph in round 2 might be someone they may look at.

Cleveland will more than likely go Barkley at # 1 seeing that they can still grab a QB at #4. Rosen is probably going to go to the Giants according to some "experts" predictions but I honestly think Barkley and Chubb go 1 and 2. Which would leave the Colts in a very good situation at # 3. They could trade for a kings ransom drop down to either 4,5 or 6 who ever really wants Darnold or Allen more. More than likely if Denver and the Jets are trying to move up then Cleveland will talk. Take nothing less than Clevelands 1st rounder this year, next year and a 2nd rounder in this years draft.....

 

Trade back with the Jets or Broncos, who ever wants the next available QB (darnold or Allen, given who the browns take).....Take their first rounder this year and next year, and their 2nd rounder this year and give them the 4th overall pick and a 4th rounder in this years draft. Draft Nelson, go into the second round with 3 very early picks and end draft week with 3 possible first rounders in next years draft. 

 

annnnnnnnnnd, Now I wake up. haha

If I remember correctly ,those predictions were not even on the same planet as to what transpired last year in free agency.

There's more than zero chance that the Browns will indeed go non QB with their #1 - they are the Browns after all - but more than likely? Naaah... They will take their QB at #1 this year. More than likely.

 

Btw, you are way off with the trade down prices my friend. When it comes to trading draft picks, teams usually quite closely follow the draft value chart, which means, trading down with the Broncos from 3 to 5 would cost the Broncos cca their 1/5 and 2/8 (a bit more, maybe add an extra 6th). No next year 1st rounder or anything near to that. Trading down with the Jets would give the Colts their 1/6, 2/5 and cca their 4th rounder. Where it becomes pricey is somewhere around the 10th overall pick. If lets say the Dolphins decide to draft Tannehill's successor, that would start with their 2018 and 2019 first rounder, and some.

Depends on if they value all QBs equally. If they do, they'll still have someone they like at #4.

That's the best move for them but my guess is they gamble and either pick up one at #4, or pick up Mayfield/Allen.

those two could be good, but i think they need the right team to be successful and that isnt the browns

 

darnold and rosen would be a lot safer for them imo

they are the Browns, yes , they will take Barkley and then gamble on the QB at 4.  no one wants to go to the browns because of the organization in general, the cold - wind - and misery there.  So just like every year, the Browns will fumble the ball and choose Barkley (yes he's probably going to be great), but it's the Browns, so he will only be good there.  And again, the ball gets away and the Browns will be the Browns.

I think you need to accept the fact that 1) Ballard is not and will not be a big spender in FA, and 2) The Colts aren’t some sort of hot bed for FAs. The Colts aren’t ever going to be the team throwing cash at all the big marquee FA names. That’s a good thing though.

    • Rick Venturi today on the radio said he is more of a fan of speed with corners then what Ballard has done. He said young corners have to be able to recover from mistakes. I would almost like rodgers instead of Brent’s.
    • BBZ, what do you mean when you say Brents will be successfully targeted because of his size and speed? Aren't those his good traits? 
    • Right. But we also are expected to draft a corner, So the fact that DeJean can play either position, makes me think Ballard could have his eye on him.
    • As a Ballard type player, he seems to fit the bill.  Big 10. Excels at zone coverage. Elite athlete. Special Teams standout, Good tackler. etc. Colts may be able to trade back, and still land DeJean   Considered one of the Safest picks. Seven 2024 NFL Draft Prospects Who Are Safest Bets to Succeed at Next Level https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10113875-7-2024-nfl-draft-prospects-who-are-safest-bets-to-succeed-at-next-level   DB Cooper DeJean, Iowa   A fractured fibula during a November practice tempered any excitement regarding Cooper DeJean's draft status. So he's not been in the same conversations as the class' top defensive backs, specifically Toledo's Quinyon Mitchell and Alabama's Terrion Arnold. DeJean's profile projects just as well or better than the aforementioned cornerbacks.   Three specific attributes set DeJean's floor higher than anyone else among the back end.   First, the reigning Big Ten Defensive Back of the Year presents the positional flexibility and traits to start at cornerback or safety at the professional level, with B/R's Cory Giddings highlighting his coverage skills:   "DeJean excels in zone coverage, but he's versatile enough to play man as well. He shows a smooth backpedal and the ability to keep his leverage and quick footwork with few wasted steps. Although he transitions well, there are times where DeJean hops into his breaks; allowing a step of separation.   "When in zone, DeJean does a great job of reading and reacting to the quarterback's eyes. Pairing that skill set with his route recognition, he often puts himself in good position with leverage and positioning.   "While working downfield, DeJean has the strength necessary to hand-fight with tight ends and bigger receivers, as well as the speed necessary to carry twitchier receivers downfield. He also does a very good job of locating the ball and playing through the catch point."   Second, the high school track standout is an elite athlete who captured Iowa state titles in the long jump and 100-meter dash. Many expected him to blow the doors off Lucas Oil Stadium. Unfortunately, he wasn't ready to test in Indianapolis after being cleared a few weeks earlier.   "His acceleration is incredibly fluid and super powerful," NFL combine trainer Jordan Luallen told The Athletic's Bruce Feldman last summer. "He's the best athlete I've seen in person, pound for pound."   Finally, DeJean adds significant value as an elite collegiate returner. Big Ten coaches also awarded him Return Specialist of the Year this past season. DeJean averaged 13.1 yards per punt return over the last two seasons. A top-notch contributor anywhere along the defensive backfield and on special teams will provide excellent value in the NFL.   Potential Landing Spots: Indianapolis Colts, Philadelphia Eagles    
    • He could, but I think he's way more athletic than people give him credit for and projects way better as CB. Definitely could be a good safety, but I think if we drafted him, he fits well as a boundary corner for us.
