[2013 Colts New FA/Mock]

We need to acquire Reggie Bush for 3 or 4 years though FA.

 

Addai only had 1000 yards rushing in his first two years with the Colts.  Donald Brown has never rushed for more than 700 yards in four years.  The last Colt to perform well running was Edgerrin James.  At least with Reggie Bush you have a duel threat of a 1000 yard runner and an excellent receiver 300+ yards but expect 4 fumbles a year. 

 

I don’t know about the rest of you, but 3 good years of Bush putting up over 1000 yards from scrimmage is better than what we have had recently.   Vick Ballard is signed until 2015 and Donald Brown is a FA after 2013.  With signing Bush we can trade Brown now for a third round hopefully to the Lions which have the 5th pick.  This would make up somewhat for not having a second round selection this year and the Lions are already looking at Bush but doubt they can afford him due to cap space limitations.

Blood your probably right about over estimating Bush's value. He will command more than 4.5m cutrent base, realistic value more like 6m with a 4 year deal. Still leaving us more cap money to spend in FA.

For the draft:

1) LG Jonathan Cooper or Barrett Jones C/LG

3) SS Jonathan Cyprien or FS/SS Bacarri Rambo (drug free?)

4) RT Brian Winters or RT Brennan Williams

5) OLB Keith Pough or OLB Sio Moore

6) CB Tyrann Mathieu

This year and next we will need to replenish linebackers, cornerbacks, safeties, and running backs.

We should have over 40m to sign. Saved 20m on releasing Freeney plus few others.

I can see us sign Reggie Bush 8 - 10m

Kenny Phillips 4m

Cromarti 4m

Levitre is wishful plus few other DE/LBs like TB Michael Bennett

Ideal to spend 20m easy in FA

Hopefully Ben can return to OT despite high hopes we had for him past two years. Coopers an interesting draft pick but his history of too many penalties may costs the club more. Have concerns abouy the weight of Alabam's RT weight next best option is Alabama's center who's got experience at multiple positions.

Levitre may be the best FA option available to us.

What about loosing Manning? We should get a 4th round comp pick even a pick from Dallas Clark?
