QB Kellen Mond will not be returning to Colts
https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/kellen-mond-agrees-to-terms-with-saints
...A Vikings third-round pick in 2021, Mond was waived at the start of the regular season in 2022. The Browns claimed him and he spent that season with the club. After Cleveland let him go last August, he eventually signed with Indianapolis’ practice squad...

Malik Nabers will meet with Indianapolis
...He met with the Cardinals and Chargers last week. He was in New York, visiting with the Jets today before heading to Chicago.
After visiting the Bears on Wednesday, Nabers will head to Indianapolis.
He will meet with the Colts on Thursday, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Media reports. It is a scheduled visit not previously reported.
The Colts need another weapon to join Michael Pittman...

Lately, a lot of first sure rounders skip the senior bowl

Turner is widely looked at as the best edge rusher in this draft. It would be a reach imo to draft Latu or Verse at 15.
The latest mock drafts, by both CBS and Lance Zierlein, now have Verse being selected ahead of Dallas Turner. Latu is then predicted to go 16th and 19th respectively.

Yes, Turner may not be a great fit. However, Gus brought Yannick with him, a smaller OLB body type guy. Yannick languished as a disciplined player and run defender, so if Turner is better in those areas...you never know what the thought is. Latu looks great, but he's also a bigger guy at around 270, maybe bigger. Just not sure he's the LEO type or the bendy type to play RDE. Could be though,
An OT at 15 is very unlikely. I think its more of a play at 46. I question the longevity of the right side of the Oline, starting with C.
Latu has injury concerns

Good point about the spot though, maybe not at 15...
But we all know Ballard likes to trade back.

I beg to differ. I was speaking specifically on natural pass rush skills. Most of the draft resources I have read say Latu is the best pure pass rusher. However, its been reported, he is not great setting the edge... Time will tell.

Makes great sense to me. Thanks for the post. A few things:
My discussion of the trade up is about whether or not Ballard's team views a couple of players as standouts vs the rest. If so, then a trade up would not be a surprise to me given that he said he wants more "explosion" (wh0 knows what that means really). I'm not one of these Ballard critics who says he is simply stuck in his ways and will never trade up. If there is a trade up, I think its because there probably is a break in talent somewhere around pick 11. I will trust the professionals to make that assessment as I am not going through a bunch of players to try to second guess who should have been picked the day it happens.
With the players you listed, I don't know that a player at 46 is going to push any of those guys that much. I'd rather push Paye/Ebukam with Dallas Turner than with another second rounder like Dayo. JMO.
I also think OT is on the table at 15. I really do. If there is a stand out guy there, that's head and shoulders above the rest, why not? You mentioned Smith is probably reached his peak, and some view him as a true G anyway. Then if French could replace Kelly next year, AR will have some good young protection for about 5 years. An OT is not necessarily explosive by himself, but it would allow AR to be more explosive...and would indirectly fit what Ballard was saying about getting more explosive (there are many ways that term can be satisfied later at a press conference, LOL)
There was discussion if the Colts would even activate Paye's 5th year option. Which I believe that decision does not have to be made for quite a while yet. I could definitely see Ballard taking a pass rusher. Turner may go earlier? But I am not convinced the Colts see Turner is the best at that position. Watch for Latu at 15.
a top tier OT should be in consideration, if available? Our line may gave improved a bit last year, but honestly, they were far from stellar

No I get it. I was just saying that TEN could be more of a threat now that they are liberating their offense.
Yeah. They hired Callahan, who was in the finals for Colts HC. and Levis is like AR. Big, strong, fast, rocket arm. Ballard and Steichen have their work cut out for them to get in playoffs

Addition by subtraction. Getting their offense out of 1997 is probably worth 2 games. He'll work with BAL though.
I just meant that he always killed us

HOU is at least one season ahead of us in terms of roster build.
JAX is probably one season a way. 2023 a down year as Trevor played through injuries because of no viable backup, JMO.
TEN, probably one season below us.
On paper, it looks like 3rd in the South.
I agree. Although I'm certainly not crowning the Texans.
We always seem to loose to the Jags. (How many more times will Jamal Agnew have big kick or punt return before we learn?)
The Titans are the wildcard. New coach, no Henry or Tannehill. Year two for Levis. Calvin Ridley. Hard to predict with them

It should. It absolutely should.Houston seems to be the consensus to win the division, the other three teams closely grouped together for 2nd 3rd and 4th place.

If the Colts finish last in the division this year, does that get Ballard fired?

Looks possible that Michael Penix may slip into the top 15...
Michael Penix Jr. visited with Broncos on Tuesday, Raiders on Wednesday
...Denver holds the No. 12 pick in the upcoming draft. Las Vegas has No. 13 overall.
Widely expected to be a first-round pick, Penix had his Pro Day workout last week and is set to meet with several teams. He told ESPN that the Giants, Falcons, and Steelers are also on his list for pre-draft visits...

I could see Ballard taking an edge or Dejean at 15, then going best WR available in the 2nd or 3rd.
I think we desperately need a WR that's going to push Pierce
I agree with you here. I'd keep an eye on LAIATU LATU, UCLA
and depending on how Dejean's workout goes, could also see Ballard trading back a few slots... out of 15
WR in 2nd or 3rd round seems likely. OT and LB also possible early round picks.

Colts Extend Buckner. **Contract Details Updated Page 2, Spoiler it's Really BIG Savings**

Inside the latest DeForest Buckner deal
By Mike Florio
...Here are the full details of the deal, per a source with knowledge of the terms:
1. Signing bonus: $18 million.
2. 2024 base salary: $2.25 million, fully guaranteed.
3. 2025 offseason roster bonus $10 million, fully guaranteed.
4. 2025 base salary: $13 million, fully guaranteed.
5. 2026 offseason roster bonus: $10 million.
6. 2026 base salary: $13 million. ($10 million of the 2026 compensation package is guaranteed for injury only at signing. It becomes fully guaranteed in 2025.)
Most extensions aren’t truly extensions; the old deal is ripped up and a new deal takes its place. This deal is more like an extension, in that Buckner’s pay for 2024 remains the same as it was — $20.25 million.
The practical guarantee is $53.25 million, since the $10 million injury guarantee for 2026 becomes fully guaranteed in 2025.
The new-money average is $23 million. The total average at signing for the three-year contract is $22.08 million.
