It looks like they clearly intend on adding 1-2 WRs and maybe 1 RB via trades\ free agency \ waiver wire.
They will probably cut 1-2 guys from the current defensive line

I’m very concerned about the quarterback we picked, that 53% completion rate is very concerning. I think if somehow Turner and Steichen manage to turn him into an average passer it would be a miracle. I can see them doing a lot of bootleg, RPOs, anything to avoid his weaknesses, but it may not be enough.
Dawns on the other hand looks fantastic, and if he doesn’t turn into a great WR I would be surprised. I can’t be in more awe about the way he moves on the field and how he catches the ball, it’s beautiful to watch . If we can’t get Marvin JR next year, Dawns could be a great consolation prize, maybe more than that.

Rush looks like a good player. My impression is that whoever scouted the DBs for this draft for the Colts deserves a bonus

This guy looks like he needs some good coaching and some body work in the fitness room. I think quick pass rushers who can go low are going to be a problem for him.

Looking at highlights he looks like an ordinary back to me, but up to him to compete for a spot on special teams or practice squad

From watching the highlights he looks like a smart player to me, who identifies the play and and closes quickly towards the receiver or the ball carrier

And thats one of the dumbest things ive ever heard.
You have nothing to back that up other than just a gut feeling based of clearly never playing football at any significant level. This isnt fantasy football. Its actual football played by real men. Not those digital impressions you manipulate on your TV. A 6'5" 330lb behemoth that can move certainly has an impact in a real football game. Anyone who has played a down knows this.
The Colts are proof of this for gods sake. Thier horrible interior line has held them back for going on 10 years now. Our line started regressing towards the end of Mannings career in fact.
Just because you have an internet connection and time on your hands doesnt mean its a good idea to pretend you know about things you clearly dont know about my friend. Go do something else.
Wow! You are such a keyboard warrior.
Whatever your frustrations or problems are, remember, I’m not the one who caused them.
I thought this was a message board
where different opinions about football and the team we all cheer are accepted and debated, not a cauldron for intolerance and personal attacks.
Ok, and as I’m going to make sure the door doesn’t hit me in the you know what (anticipating replies after this), I’ll give you the honor of knowing first that this is my last message on this site as I’m closing my account. I hope everyone is happy, enjoys positive news, and lives in harmony. Peace!

I didn't miss the point my friend. I just happened to disagree with it. The crux of your argument, which you reiterate above, is that Nelson is not a play maker or game changer or "difference maker."
I respectfully disagree, and the tape don't lie. To compare Nelson to any offensive lineman drafted by Grigson, including Kelly, is to miss the mark.
Nelson was one of the best players in the entire draft, irrespective of position. And I disagree that elite OGs in today's NFL are overrated from a value perspective. QBs are now being smothered with pressure up the middle, a point I alluded to in my initial response. The ability to take away an opponent's ability to be multi-dimensional with the pass rush is a game changing factor.
Nelson is also the best pulling OG in the Draft. With the scheme our new coaching staff is employing, the ability for powerful, athletic OL to execute pulling blocks is essential.
If you still disagree with everything I've set out above after reviewing the tape and studying the scheme our new coaching staff plans to employ, then I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.
You're 100% entitled to your opinion, and I respect the fact that you decided to share it. We all don't have to think alike on here. Discussion makes a message board. Take care bud.
I think you missed it, I just don’t value the guard position in the 1st round, period
I don’t have much time to argue on message boards, but I would just say this to hopefully add a little bit of clarity, and then we may agree to disagree.
If you take Nelson out of the game and replace him with a guard half as good, I don’t believe it makes much of a difference statistically in terms of points scored by the offense (1 or 2 points, if that). And that’s in terms of points, not even talking about winning.

There is a youtube video of every Auburn offensive snap in Georgia game. Smith performed very well on most of the plays, so he looks like a good guard.
Unrelated, but the Auburn RB looks good too. Whoever drafted that guy got a good one.

As someone that has watched Nelson play every game the past 2 years, I can say that I'm very low on your ability to evaluate offensive line talent.
With all the pressure that comes up the middle in today's NFL, and with the need to have talented guards that can pull to create a rushing offense, Nelson has the ability to make a gigantic impact. He's going to help protect the franchise QB and hopefully he's going to help create a respectable running attack for the first time in the past 5-6 years.
In other words, cheer up. Oh, and go watch some tape. Not 4-minute YouTube highlight reels. Entire games.
You and others completely missed my point. For whoever cares, I am convinced Nelson is a great guard, potential Pro Bowler, and All Pro teamer.
It’s just that the impact of his position is not high enough to justify a top 10 draft pick. I believe in the first round an NFL team should pick so called “difference makers”, which are usually top players who pass, catch passes, or help stopping the pass (pass rushers, DBs, athletic linebackers). The availability of top such players drops significantly past the 1st round.
Now, this narrative of protecting Luck has been around since he’s been drafted. Grigson drafted 4 linemen 2 years ago, more before that, and where did that take the Colts? You still hear how the Colts line sucks. For O line you need continuity, good line coaching, and a QB who understands where the pressure comes and gets rid of the ball quickly. Colts had none of these. They did have that during Manning years for the most part.
One more thing, my opinion has no impact on how the Colts play, so I don’t get why fellow message board members get so upset. If you are happy with the Colts draft good for you! It’s the offseason, when all sins are washed away, and all NFL fans find renewed hope and optimism.

He just said he stopped following the draft, when did he say it ruined his day? He is probably being fed grapes, and being massaged in a great big palace by beautiful women for all you know lol. It was underwhelming; it's not like that guard is going to make a huge impact.
Lol, thanks for you support, man. I really didn’t mean to rain on anybody’s parade. And you are correct, it didn’t ruin my day, I just lost interest. I can’t stand how other teams pick players that can make a difference (good linebackers, pass rushers, wide receivers, DBs) while the Colts picked a future Pro Bowl guard that won’t make any difference between them winning and losing.

Being a fan of a team is great and fun and supposed to be that way. However when you let something as little as not getting the guy you wanted effect the outcome of the rest of your day is kinda pathetic.
You are pathetic, think about it.

This pick is so underwhelming that I stopped following the whole draft. I just check the list when they are done.
This guy, as impressive and good as he is, he is is not going to make any difference for Colts being a winning team.
I’m very low on Ballard right now, and after the bad judgement he showed with McDaniels debacle, picking a guard at #6 can only make things worse.
-
The truth is that it’s really hard to get excited about Luck’s return just based on (optimistic) words from Ballard and others associated with the team, need more than that.
-
At this point I’m afraid Brissett is our long term QB, as something is going on with Luck they don’t tell us.
-
Excellent schedule, most games at 1:00 PM, it helps players get into a nice routine.
Bye week in the middle, what else would they want!
As for the predictions, nobody knows. Based on the record last year few people who like to look knowledgeable have the audacity to predict a *itive 2028 record for the Colts. I hope they are one of those teams who make a great jump from one year to next.
-
Glad to hear! It’s a little bit a surprise he wanted to do this now because he appeared to be displeased with how he left the team.
-
Boy, I’m glad I’m busy with my life and I don’t really live and die with the Colts because I would find this situation even more frustrating than already is.
I really hope Colts, Luck and company don’t think they can treat fans like fools because that would be ... I don’t even want to think about it.
-
I hope Colts pick Minkah Fitzpatrick (he is fantastic) or Tremaine Edmunds.
-
A lot of competition for RB spots
-
I like this guy, what the Colts need, a good route runner with excellent hands.
-
I really liked him against the Patriots, the game in 2017 in which Cutler played well and Miami won.

This is one guy I really want to come to Indianapolis. Huge upside.
There is a 11 min video on Youtube with someone breaking down his plays. He looks really fast, shows good effort, and knows where the QB or RB is and gets off the block nicely and goes after them.

Ha, ha, amusing how the guys most people were talking about are already gone, Norwell, Robinson, Hitchens.
