[Who gets the third RB spot?]

I think a better question is who's the 2 odd men out between: Robinson, Ballard, Tipton, and Varga?

[Who's your Top 5?]

1. Luck

2. Davis

3. Costonzo

4. Jones

5. Adams

 

Our best players at our weakest positions (OL, DL, DB) must stay healthy for us to be a complete team and not break down.

 

If we loose a guy like Hilton we still have Johnson, Moncrief, Dorsett, Carter and the TEs. 

If we loose a guy like Mathis we still have Cole, Newsome, Walden, Werner

[QB Tier]

Tier 1:

Luck, Rodgers

Brady, Manning

Brees, Rothelisburger

 

Tier 2:

Rivers, Romo

Wilson, Newton

Flacco, Ryan

 

Tier 3:

Kapernick, Dalton

Manning, Stafford

Tannehill, Smith

[Update on Colts 2 unsigned draft picks, the last unsigned players in the NFL]

Starting to get nervous... Hopefully we can rap these up soon.

[Buy or Sell]

Buy. What's a better time than now? 

 

He's got Dre, TY, Moncrief, Carter, Dorsett, Brown, Fleener, Allen, Doyle, Gore, Ballard, Herron. 

[Looking at the colt FAs, we have a lot of decisions to make]

Fleener will be closer to 4/28 IMO. 

 

Hilton will be closer to 5/60 too.

 

Also, don't forget Lucks salary for this year is already 17M, so it should only be a 6-8M jump for future years. Lots of people forget that.

[Headlines going into TC]

What will our OL look like?

 

Costonzo is a lock at LT, but everything else is up in the air.

 

Will Mewhort or Herremans play RT?

 

Holmes or Harrison at C?

Who steps up as a starter at OG if Mewhort or Herremans play RT?

[How the Bryant/Thomas contracts might impact TY Hilton's....]

I'd give Hilton 5/50 with high g's (around 52%)

 

or 

 

5/60ish with lower g's (around 38%)

[Who was with the team last year that won't be this year]

No way we get rid of Doyle. He's our FB and backup TE on a dirt cheap contract.

[What would you pay Dez Bryant and Demariyus Thomas?]

Dez - 6 years/87 Million - 14.5 annually - 36.54M Guaranteed (42%)

 

Demariyus- 5 years/60 Million - 12 Annually - 30M Guaranteed (50%)

Decent pickup for them.

[Luck #7 on Top 100]

Under the likes of: DeMarco Murray, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, JJ Watt, Megatron.. hmmmm

 

MODS: Please move to Colts section accidentally put in draft section 

[Colts BR 1000 CB Colt rankings]

Darius seems criminally underrated. Great to see the Votae recognition. 

[Offensive plays you want to see in 2015 with this roster.]

I'd love to see AJ, TY, Dante, Dorsett and Gore all on the field at once, and just gas them with a mixture of draws/deep balms while running no huddle the whole time. Keep the defense guessing.

Luck (4), Charles (2), Julio (2), Olsen (3), Watt (5), Wilkerson (2), Mosley (2), David (4), Davis (3), Weddle (2)

[Colts Have Been Connected to OG Evan Mathis.]

The four teams ESPN connected to Evan Mathis were the 49ers, Colts, Chiefs and Dolphins. I think they left out the Rams.

— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly)

Reliable source. Broke the Suh news before the tampering period even started.

[Eagles release Evan Mathis [Merge]]

Guys, he's not getting anywhere near 8 million. If a team where willing to pay him 8 million (even 5.5) they would of atleast thrown a 7th at him. And nobody did. Remember, this guy has been openly shopped for 2 years now. He'd be lucky to get 4M... I would personally love Mathis any price 2M-5M, but I just don't think it's realistic, I think our spending is over. 

 

But a OL of Costonzo/Mathis/Holmes/Herremans/Mewhort is really easy to fall in love with. Also makes Cherilus 100% expendable and still leaves us with adeqeuit depth (Thomas, Riets, Cherilus, Harrison, Thorton, Louis, Heenan). 

 

Boy... I better stop talking about this before I talk myself into thinking it's a realistic possibility

[Priorities for Colts next offseason]

Add Extend Luck to that and I agree.

[Jonothan harrison]

He's not the guy.  Holmes got an equal number of snaps during OTAs, they switch back and forth.

Right now he is the guy... Harrison is taking the 1st team snaps. Working with Andrew, AC, Mewhort and the rest of the line. While Holmes is taking the second team snaps..

[taking luck in fantasy football vs not taking luck]

You can always get QB talent in rounds 10-12. Honestly I don't even look at them until after round 8.

[Dwight Lowery isn't bad at all]

I see a lot of simalarities between Mike Adams and him.

 

Hopefully Dwight can play close to the level Mike did last year. That would be a great safety class.

[Ladies & Gentlemen your NEW RT for the Colts 2015 season....... Jack Mewhort!]

Two things:

1. PFF olineman grades are crap.

2. Why use 2013 numbers? Why not 2014.

3. PFF onlineman grades are crap.

Additionally, I think GC is a good tackle and people keep saying "when healthy". But that is the thing with GC, he has a degenerative knee disorder that means he will not be getting healthier than he was last year. All he can do is manage the pain but that won't help the loss of mobility and strength from the knee issue.

Because my point was in 2013, Cherilus was better than Costonzo (our best OL) I used 2013, because I don't think Cherilus is better than Costonzo know as he has grown.

I like PFF, I'd rather take the opinon of a unbias person/crew of people who watch every single play.

[Ladies & Gentlemen your NEW RT for the Colts 2015 season....... Jack Mewhort!]

You think Cherilus was better than Castanzo in '13?!?

 

I like Cherilous plenty,  but better than Castanzo?!?      I absolutely don't share that view......

2013 Cherilus: +8.9 overall (PFF), +5.2 Pass Blocking (PFF), 30 QB Hurries, 4 QB Sacks, 6 QB Hits

 

2013 Costonzo: +3.9 overall (PFF), -8.7 Pass Blocking (PFF), 46 (!!) QB Hurries, 6 QB Sacks, 

 

Basically showing Costonzo was a turnstyle even if the sack stats didn't particularly reflect it, thank God he's playing better. Also, Cherilus had a very good respectable year. 

[Ladies & Gentlemen your NEW RT for the Colts 2015 season....... Jack Mewhort!]

To me, this is getting a bunch of guys extra reps at RT while Cherilus isn't available. But if they go with Donald Thomas at LG and Herremans at RG, then putting Mewhort at RT makes sense. I'd just as soon keep Mewhort at LG, though.

I wish, but unfortunately don't think this is likely.

 

If we we're planning on playing Mewhort at G again, he'd still be taking some snaps at guard, it makes no sense to have someone play out of position for 100% of snaps. I would just except atleast 30% at his position he'd be playing. 

 

I could be wrong though, hope I am.

 

I'd much rather have:

Costonzo-Mewhort-Holmes-Herremans-Cherilus (healthy)

 

than 

Costonzo-???(Thomas)-Holmes-Herremans-Mewhort

 

I just think Cherilus is too good of a OL to not play if he's healthy. He was our best OL in 13' (Last healthy season)
