Possible Free Agents (MERGE)
Zoltan posted a topic in NFL Draft, Scouting, and Free Agent Talk,
Instead of making a thread on a specific Free Agent, I figured I'd just make a thread so we can discuss any free agent that interests us.
For me I think Jordan Fuller could be an interesting free agent addition this offseason, first because I see it as a Ballard move, he's a 26 year old drafted in the 6th round by the Rams and ended up becoming a team captain. The leadership I think Ballard will like for the secondary as it's a young group and Fuller was the person directing coverages from the free safety position and we all know how important communication is at that position. Next he isn't a big name so won't be getting a huge deal (Like Winfield Jr) I imagine a 3 year deal that has an out after 2 years, I think this move would give us adequate depth at the FS position to be more flexible in the draft.
Here's PFF Summary

Nadine,Colts Best 2024 Draft Prospect Fits
Defjamz26 posted a topic in NFL Draft, Scouting, and Free Agent Talk,
Hello all,
Now that the the Senior Bowl and Combine have come and went, it’s time to narrow down the prospects that will be fits for the Colts and have a higher chance of being drafted in April. Going in to year 8, Ballard has shown and explained his blueprint for drafting players, and it’s becoming easy to see what guys will be guys he targets. Last year everyone honed in on JuJu Brent’s as a Ballard type and sure enough, he was picked. A lot of what Ballard likes has been nicely laid out by Zach Hicks in his yearly Build-A-Ballard series. It hasn’t dropped yet this year so I’m going to lay out a couple of guys that will be good fits IMO
Im skipping TE since to me it’s Bowers or Bust, as well as QB since we have AR
