The Colts announced on Wednesday that they signed defensive end Levi Bell and waived offensive lineman Lewis Kidd.
With Samson Ebukam suffering a season-ending Achilles injury, Titus Leo being carted off during Tuesday’s practice with what Shane Steichen called a knee injury–we still do not know the extent of the injury and Dayo Odeyingbo sidelined the last two practices with a calf injury, the Colts were in need of some defensive end depth.
The 6-1 – 275 pound Bell is an excellent athlete, posting an elite RAS of 9.55 and went undrafted in 2023 out of Texas State.
In his final season, he recorded 41 pressures, six sacks, and was versatile, playing multiple positions along the defensive front, and even took some snaps on offense at fullback, according to PFF...

...Bell has had a fascinating journey so far, and it’s just getting started. He was a USFL College Draft selection by the Panthers in 2023, and ended up signing with the team midway through the season.
Levi was immediately placed on the active roster, tallying his first professional sack that week against Pittsburgh. Bell fit perfectly into Mike Nolan’s defense, and finished the season with 16 tackles and four sacks.
Not only that, but Levi was one of the top graded defenders in the entire USFL. He posted a 92.0 Defensive Grade, showing up week in and week out. In the semi-finals loss against Pittsburgh, Bell notched eight tackles.
This led to an NFL opportunity with the Seattle Seahawks. Bell made an impact in the preseason, and impressed enough to remain on the practice squad throughout the year...
Some interesting videos on his youtube page...

I believe Raimann will be very solid at OT, and the rest of our OL in general, as long as Anthony Richardson is back there at QB.
However, should Flacco be pressed into service (and I pray he will not be), then I'm not really confident about the pass protection.

It is still a bit early to crown Raimann as the franchise LT imo

As it stands the Eagles are pretty loaded with CBs at the moment after picking up Rodgers then drafting both Quinyon and Cooper in the draft. There have been rumblings of them potentially preparing to move Bradberry. They are currently in need of another WR, so the question I pose is would you be ok with trading Alec to Philly in exchange for Bradberry? Or do you think they should let the current CBs on the roster battle it out? Keep in mind Bradberry is approaching 31 years of age.
No

I am alright just rolling with these RBs. Lets see what they can do. If the Colts had brought in a vet, I imagine, that player would then be slotted as no2 on depth chart, taking away reps from our existing, young backs.

Falcons tried to trade back up, to get Laiatu Latu ahead of the Colts.

5 Underrated 2024 NFL Combine Winners
https://www.thedraftnetwork.com/2024/03/04/2024-nfl-combine-underrated-winners#google_vignette
ANTHONY GOULD, WR, OREGON STATE
Oregon State wide receiver Anthony Gould put forth an underrated performance at Lucas Oil Stadium. An undersized playmaker with deep vertical speed, Gould ran the 40-yard dash in a blazing-fast 4.39 seconds. Only five receivers had a faster result. Furthermore, Gould's 1.49 10-yard split matched Xavier Worthy for the position-best time, showcasing initial explosion and burst. Gould also had a 39.5-inch vertical and 10-foot-9 broad jump.
Gould took a step forward this season, recording 44 catches for 718 yards and two touchdowns. The speedy threat also accounted for 427 career yards and two touchdowns as a punt returner. Versatility on special teams will make Gould a hot commodity on draft weekend.

I think Blackmon and Cross are the starters as we sit here today.
Could be, but I was just trying to make the point, that there is no reason to think, that these later round picks (that Ballard makes) will not have a chance of making the team, or even being major contributors.

I just am not sure the quality we are going to find today at safety. It probably won’t be much better than what we have. Ballard does always find gems at LB late though.
Rodney Thomas II is our starter and he was drafted in 7th round out of Yale. Seems none of our LBs were early round selections... So I wouldn't be surprised if upgrades can still be found in these later rounds.

Colts roster has so many young players and not many holes. It’s why I didn’t think they really needed 7 picks. It’s going to be hard to make the team if your a late round draft pick,
We need one or two LBs. there is room on the roster there. Safety roster seems to have holes. Might see a few vets let go during camp.

6'6" 330. Most reports agree he is very good in pass protection. Can play LT or RT I like the pick.
https://pittsburghsportsnow.com/2024/03/03/matt-goncalves-elevated-game-battles-star-pitt-dl/
...He’s a big (6-foot-6, 330 pounds) offensive lineman, with experience at left and right tackle, who bided his time in Pittsburgh to emerge as a team captain and starting left tackle in the 2023 season. Unfortunately, his senior season was cut short due to injury. He started all three games he played in last season, filling the crucial left tackle pivot, and he was expected to break out even further after a strong 2022 season.
Goncalves earned third-team All-ACC honors in 2022, taking 830 snaps last season, which only trailed fellow lineman Jake Kradel offensively, and he flashed the ability to play on either side of the line in the process.
He finished his career with appearances in 35 games (making 21 starts dating back to 2020), and his size and versatility should entice NFL personnel looking for a potential starting-caliber offensive lineman down the line.
He earned a 71.9 PFF offensive grade in 2022, with 76.2 in pass blocking and a 67.2 in run blocking, in 830 snaps — starting all 13 games last season. According to PFF, he didn’t allow a sack while allowing five quarterback hits and 12 quarterback hurries. In 165 snaps last season, he allowed just four pressures, three hurries and no sacks...

The past few years, it seems our defense can never stop a team on 3rd and long. Got to have a pass rush.
Latu is viewed as the best pure pass-rusher in this draft.
and since the top three WRs went very early, I am very happy with this pick.

The Colts and free agent Justin Simmons have had exploratory conversations

As we’ve seen a good amount recently, free safety Rodney Thomas II continues to creep into first-team reps. And when he’s one the field, that keeps Julian Blackmon at the strong safety spot. The Colts didn’t outright bench Cross after the Wednesday tackle of Josh Downs, but it did look like Thomas II got a few more first-team reps throughout the remainder of practice.
