    Why does this feel like Ballards approach last year, with somewhat of a doubling down effect in regards to position especially with these mid/late round picks???

    Ballard has doubled down in every draft since he has been with the colts at least 2 times every draft. I love it. It creates competition and makes the positions younger. It also make sure the vets know shape up or ship out. 

     

    I like this pick it is going to put Ballard in a tough spot.  

     

    Corners - Moore, Desir, Ya Sin, Wilson, Hairston, Collins, Tell (corner/safety)

    Safeties - Hooker, Geathers, Willis, Farley, Odum,

     

    Some solid players in the secondary are going to get cut, hopefully we can keep them on the practice squad.

  3.  Who does everyone want out of remaining in FA available? and Why? 

     

    It seems like Ballard is late to the party again during free agency, but for the better. A lot of extremely high prices in my opinion. 

     

    Here's a few guys I like with a hail marry. 

     

    Clayton Geathers S -  I have been big on him from the start. I think there just letting him shop around so he sees his market with his own eyes then we HOPEFULLY end up locking him down for a few years.  

     

    Danny Shelton DT  - Be nice to steal a pat and to get a anchor for the middle of our D-Line. He will be 26 this year. He may have signed already. I think I remember seeing it, but when I'm looking it up now it says he is still available. If he is still available this is my biggest want. 

     

    Justin Houston Pass Rush - May have a couple years in the tank may want to come to a contender and give us a discount. We need another good pass rusher and the man has been doing it consistently for a couple years or so... He is on the older side but we need some pass rush love. 

     

    Zach Brown LB  - A tackling machine. See ball get ball. Doing it will for six years. You're going to get 100 tackles, a couple sacks, and maybe a pick. If he starts, Anthony Walker keeps getting better. Could just be a depth signing so we can use more draft capital to build up these lines. 

     

    Nick Perry Edge -  nothing guaranteed all prove it. I think he's got it he just doesn't want it. EXTREMELY high risk with a decent reward(are you feeling lucky punk?)  He can't stay healthy. Maybe a change from OLB to DE would keep him healthier and hungrier. Maybe a change of scenery would help him out. 

     

  4. Going to make some BIG BOLD moves and risking it for the biscuits in the off season mock. Hopefully, going to generate a lot of positive conversations between everyone!! This one got a little more crazy than intended. Overall, the team looks pretty solid though. Some of the draft picks will probably be gone but they were all available on first-pick when it was time to draft them. 

     

    Cap Space: Roughly 107M 

     

    Colts Free Agents:

    Ryan Hewitt - 2 years 900k per year - Great blocker can play full back when we rarely use one

    Dontrelle Inman - 1 year 2M per year - He can catch the ball 

    Jihad Ward - 1 year 750K per year- He was good towards the end of the year last year

    Luke Rhodes - 2 years 750K per year - Long snapper

    Matthias Farley - 2 years 1.4M per year - Good character, adds to the COLTure, Ballard likes him

    Evan Boehm - 2 years 800K per year - good backup center if Kelly goes down

    Zach Pascal - 2 years 1.1M per year - good depth

    Chester Rogers - 2 years 1.1M per year - kick/punt returner

     

    Cap Space: Roughly 98M

     

    Trades: 

    Miami gets: Jacoby Brissett/2020-2nd round pick

    Indianpolis gets: DeVante Parker/ Xavien Howard

     

    New England gets: R3P26/Jack Doyle

    Indianapolis gets: R1P32

     

    Cap Space: Roughly 92M

     

    Outside Free Agents:

    Landon Collins - 4 years 10.5M per year - A safety who averages over 100 tackles per season. He can apply pressure to the QB.  

     

    Demarcus Lawrence - 4 years 20.5M per year(front loading contract so we can sign our players in the future years. 40M his first year) - A top five pass rush specialist. I think the longer the it takes for Dallas to sign him the lower the chances are he gets a deal done. He said he wasn't playing on another franchise tag this year. He probably won't make it to the market, but praying for the best. 

     

    Rodney Gunter - 1 year 2.2M per year - Gunter is going to create competition for our young guys. 

     

    Alfred Morris - 1 year 900K per year - Just getting a vet at that position in case an injuries occur.

     

    Ryan Fitzmagic - 2 years 2M per year - FitzMAGIC 

     

    Jesse James - 3 years 4.5M per year - Jack Doyle and Jesse James look like they could be twin brothers

     

    Cap Space: Roughly 31M

     

     

    Draft Rounds: Doing this mock draft off of the website first-pick.com

    R1P26: Deandre Baker CB Georgia - I think he is the best corner in the draft. He is physical, can cover, has ball skills, looks good in zone and man. 

    R1P32: DK Metcalf WR Mississippi - It seems like most receivers in this draft can't separate yet. So, lets get the receiver with the most potential. He can make the circus catches and use his body to block out real good.

    R2P2: Dexter Lawrence NT Clemson - A powerful nose tackle for the next decade who can push back the pocket and apply some pressure

    R2P26: Andre Dillard OT Washington State - Athletic pass protector who could make for a good swing tackle 

    R4P26: Tyrel Dodson LB Texas A&M - Coverage Linebacker with good ball skills

    R4P33: Malik Gant S Marshall - Hard hitting safety 

    R5P26: Gary Jennings Jr. WR West Virginia - Throwing Darts

    R6P26: Austin Seibert K Oklahoma - Throwing Darts

    R7P26: Ryan Bee DT Marshall - Throwing Darts

     

    Colts Roster:

    QB: Luck, FitzMagic

    RB: Mack, Hines, Wilkens, Morris

    TE: Ebron, James, Ali-Cox, Hewitt

    WR: Hilton, Metcalf, Parker, Inman, Cain, Pascal, 

    O-Line: Costanzo, Nelson, Kelly, Glowinski, Smith

    O-Line Depth: Clark, Haeg, Boehm, Dillard

     

    D-Line: Sheard, Autry, Dex. LawrenceDem Lawrence

    D-Line Depth: Lewis, Turay, Stewart, Ridgeway, Ward, Gunter

    Linebackers: Leonard, Walker

    Linebacker Depth: Adams, Franklin, Moore, Dodson

    Secondary: Howard, Moore, Hooker, Collins, Baker

    Secondary Depth: Wilson, Odum, Hairston, Farley, Gant

     

    K/P/LS/Return-man - Vinny/Sanchez/Rhodes/Rogers

    I like your thinking.  I don't think the Dolphins will be the only team to see the light.  

    Maybe Denver or Washington due to cap space. I'm hoping we get a player in return if he ends up going anywhere. I wouldn't complain about getting a pick either.

    If DeAndre Baker falls past Denver, I wouldn't mind trading pick #26 and Brissett to the Dolphins in order to acquire him. That would be a deal both teams might agree to if the Dolphins are indeed interested.

    I can get behind this but not just for DeAndre Baker maybe a pass rusher or interior D-line will fall.

    A lot of people think Brissett won't bring back much in a trade.  The fact that makes him so appealing is he is only going to make 2 million next year.  Would u rather trade up  in the draft or  take a chance on a guy who has started in the league with mixed results for a very low price? 

    Probably take a shot on Xavien honestly. Yes, the results were mixed, but I think he has "improved" every year. We had good luck with Desir and Moore. They both improved. I think he may have great potential. Personally I think that's what I would do. 

  7. The tweet is a couple days old maybe this was posted somewhere else and I missed it if so I'm so sorry. Don't know how reliable this source is. 

     

    Hopefully we throw a pick in and shoot for Xavien Howard!

    Maybe their second rounder if we are really lucky; especially considering Flacco went for a fourth. (probably no chance but I can hope for the best)

    Any other trade thoughts?!

    Interesting. Keeping Geathers at a premium (Eric Reid just got $7m/year, you're giving Geathers almost as much), not keeping Desir or Inman. Do you think they'll price themselves out of the Colts' range?

     

    I think Desir will price out. I went with Coleman because he is a competent slot veteran, and that will create competition for our young corners. 

     

    I chose Humphries over Inman. I think we could resign Inman. However, he is getting up there in age and we need to upgrade at receiver. Humprhies is a younger  600-850 yard slot receiver who has improved every year. 

     

    As for Geathers I just got a gut feeling. I'm wrong on price for him by quite a bit most likely. However, Reid and Geathers stats were similar. Geather was our third leading tackler. I think Ballard takes COLTure  into consideration, and I've read a few places where he loves Geathers around the locker room.

    By signing him for that much I think it will send a message to the locker room. We take care of our own. Hopefully, motivate our young guys to step up, and put in some work this offseason. (Wilson, Turay, Hooker, Lewis, Haeg, Mack, Kelly, Cain, Smith, etc...)

     

  9. Cap Space(spotrac) - 107.5M

     

    Our Guys:

     

    Clayton Geathers - 2years/13M(higher on him than most but Ballard is high on him as well from what I've read.)

    Chester Rogers - 1year/1.2M

    Ryan Hewitt - 1year/850k

    Luke Rhodes - 3years/3M

    Matthias Farley - 2years/3M

    Zach Pascal - 1year/1.1M

     

    Other Free Agents: We got some young building blocks and the COLTure is established. Time to target some FAs with the money we have saved up. 

     

    Danny Shelton - 3years/13.5M

    Trey Flowers - 5years/80M Were going to go after an Edge rusher if they make it to free agency. Whoever it is will be getting paid. 

    Justin Coleman - 2years/6M

    Jordan Hicks - 4years/28M

    Adam Humphries - 3years/33M

     

    Cap Space roughly: 55M

     

    Draft: I did a fanspeak mock. I doubt some of these guys will be at the pick I got them at.

     

    R1P11: Ed Oliver DT Houston - He fell so we traded our R1P26, R2P26, and our 2020 third round pick 

    R2P2: Deandre Baker CB, 

    R3P26: JJ Arcega-Whiteside WR, Stanford 

    R4P26: Taylor Rapp S, Washington

    R4P33: Isiah Prince OT, Ohio State

    R5P26: Joe Giles-Harris LB, Duke

    R6P26: Ty Johnson RB, Maryland

    R7P26: Traded to steelers for a future 5th

     

    Colts Roster: 

     

    QB: Luck, Brissett

    RB: Mack, Hines, Wilkins, Johnson

    WR: Hilton, Arcega-Whiteside, Rogers

    Hard to answer that question.

    Once the season get completely over we will find out. I think the GMs are already talking to agents but till a deal is signed we don't know who or where these players will go.

    The rumor mill will be rolling. haha

    They're best guess and opinionated questions on what you think could happen. I understand how free agency works. I just want to see if anyone has some good theories as of now before anything is set in stone. Let me give you an example:

     

    I think Brandon Graham could be a colt next year. He is getting up there in age so he may not resign in Philly and he has a Frank Reich connection. I think he would get around 6 mil or so(this is just an example).

  11. I'm making another. I really enjoy doing these a lot and I'm very depressed since there wont be colts football for another eight months. If anyone has a problem with me doing so many please tell me and I can slow down. 

     

    Cap Space roughly 122M

     

    Resign:

    Vinny 1 year/3M

    Pierre Desir 2 years/9M

    Clayton Geathers 2 years/8M

    Mark Glowinski - 4 years/14.4M

    Zach Pascal - 1 year/900k

    Matthais Farley - 1 year/1M

    Evan Boehm - 2 years/2.8M

    Eric Swoope - 1 year/750k

    Ryan Hewitt - 1 year/850k

     

    Cap Space Roughly 100M

     

    Free Agents:

     

    Trey Flowers - 5 years/76M - 30M the first year front loading hard so we have more money to sign our own guys in the future. We need a pass rusher bad and we got the money. Also a great run stopper. He has got the best chance of the pass rushers to hit free agency (hopefully, Lawrence wants out of Dallas); therefore, this pick is going to be very repetitive. 

    Tre Boston - 3 years/9.9M -Would be a great backup behind Hooker also he is big enough to get in the box and play a coverage line-backer if need be.

     

    Cap Space: 66M

     

    Trade: 

    We trade our third round pick and Mo Ali-Cox for Cooper Kupp (6'2" 208lbs). He is coming off IR (ACL Tear in November) so we can get him for cheap (hopefully). He was on pace for over 1,000 yard last season before he got injured. He is third on the Rams depth chart behind Robert Woods and Brandin Cooks. 

     

    Draft: 

    R1P26 - Dexter Lawrence DT, Clemson - A big Nose Tackle that can eat up double teams and stop the run very well

    R2P2 - Chris Lindstorm OG, Boston College - An athletic flexible guard who is good at everyone but great at nothing yet. 

    R2P26 - Amani Oruwariye CB, Penn State - A quick big body CB with ball skills. Our zone should be a good fit for him.

    R4P26 - David Stills WR, West Virginia - good size to go well with TY and fantastic hands and a good redzone threat (at least in college)

    R4P33 - Trevon Coney LB, Notre Dame - A tackling machine 

    R5P26 - Amani Bledsoe DT, Oklahoma - Dont know really anything about him but I like his name (throwing darts)

    R6P26 - Jazz Ferguson WR, Northwestern State - Another Big wideout with some great hands and jump ball ability and can get downfield 

    R7P26 - Qadree Ollison RB, Pittsburgh - A big RB to get across that one yard line when it matters

     

    Colts Roster:

     

    QB - Luck, Brissett

    RB - Mack, Hines, Wilsin, Ollison

    WR - Hilton, Stills, Ferguson

    TE - Ebron, Swoope

    LT - Castonzo, Clark

    LG - BigQ, 

    C - Kelly, Boehm

    RG - Glowinski, Lindstorm  

    RT - Smith, Haeg

    TE - Doyle, Hewitt

    WR - Kupp, Cain, Pascal

     

    Edge - Sheard, Turray, Muhammad

    NT  - Lawrence, Stewart

    UT - Autry, Ridgeway, Bledsoe

    Edge - Flowers, Lewis

    WLB - Leonard, Adams

    ILB - Walker, Coney

    SAM - Franklin

    CB - Moore, Oruwariye, Hairston

    FS - Hooker, Boston, Odum

    SS - Geathers, Farley

    CB - Desir, Wilson

     

    P - Sanchez

    K - Vinny

    LS - Boehm

     

  12. Upgrading all of these positions will improve our chances I think.

    3T/NT/DE (the entire d line we need to pressure the QB and stop the run better)  

    WR (compliment to TY)

    S (a back up to hooker and geathers (hopefully resigned to at least a prove it deal) when they get injured or possibly another one to play as a coverage LBer with the other two of them on the field)

    CB (we have two good young ones but another one would be great)

    O-Line (always need competition/depth)

     

    A healthy Doyle would help a lot as well. 

     

    Also, since our coaches will be in their second year; maybe upgrading our offensive and defensive systems to confuse other teams.
