Wow!!

I like Simmons I think he can offer more to Cross than Blackmon, but would be happy with Blackmon back as well. Blackmon maybe able to still play FS but I like Cross better at SS.

Love your off-season mock. Only 1 thing we differ from. I think OG/C should be higher priority. Not depth but starter. Through FA or draft, but love your 2nd round pick.
-
If he's there at 9 I hope Ballard pulls the trigger.
Bowers
Josh Allen
Winfield
are my off season wish list, and they'll impact those around them the most to elevate there game.
Cut MAC
Resign Moore, Stewart, Pitt, Blackmon
After Bowers get Sweat, athletic freak at LB, a late round pass rush specialist, QB, CB, WR(return specialist)and IOL.

I like Mallory, but he is just a vertical threat. His blocking is pretty bad and he's not a physical player at all where as Bowers is.
I read that Bowers is a receiving threat and needs to work on his inline blocking. Mallory does block better than Granson.
I'm all in on getting Bowers, I think MHJ might be too high of a price. Bowers we may need to trade up with the Giants to get him.
-
We could already have Bowers on our team in Mallory.

His sacks may come in chunks, but his overall pressure is pretty consistent from the stats I can find.
The guy has more total pressure than Garrett on fewer snaps - how bad can he be lol.
Didn't realize, I do know most of his sacks came in 2 games. If we sign him that prolly means end of Paye experiment. Money won't be there to take his 5th year option, but this does take away a threat in our division.

I think it's about adding a quality veteran to the CB room. We kinda need that. Baker ain't it.
The DE is for the LEO position in my opinion. Get a guy like Josh Allen, stick him at LEO and move Ebukam to RDE. Paye is rotational level when it comes to passrush. If he wants to keep that spot he needs to up his game quite a bit. If he doesn't and we don't add a guy this offseason I could see us try playing Lewis over Paye. Maybe Lewis at LEo and Ebukam at RDE.
Was thinking about Allen but he gets his sacks in chunks and doesn't put constant pressure, and will require alot of money. I still think they'll ride with Paye another season, but I agree with you on him. Veteran presence in the CB room, maybe Snead. Baker is cheap, and worth another look.

Jaylon Jones, again who sits? Flowers looked great almost lockdown, Jones surpassed expectations and now is going in year 2. Moore is top 3 slot corner. Brents is only question. Baker is good at limited snaps.
Brian Burns, but who's playing time do you take?
Which FA does teams have to gameplan for? Or these just bodies on a team? I think the only positions that can be upgraded is LB(Speed is good, i think we can upgrade athletically at MLB), TE, RG, maybe S. Besides that depth at DT, OL, and a pass rush specialists.
Winfield maybe best upgrade.

I can try. As long as PFF has their stats. Anyone in particular?
Don't watch much college. I'm looking at best pass rush. We need a 3rd down specialist. Idk if they set the edge.

Out of all the years Ballard has been GM this is the year to double dip in the 1st round. I would like to sacrifice next year's picks to get back in the 1st round so they can grow with AR.

In the "2024 Important NFL Off-Season Dates…." thread I posted this as a response to whether or not the Colts should consider bringing in Chase Young:
Just for poops and giggles I decided to dig a little deeper here and include some upcoming non-Colts free agents. There's no agenda with this, I just like digging around in these numbers and thought it could create some disussion.
If you have other stats or the like you'd like for me to look up just ask.
The above example was using the players' total snaps. PFF divides these into Run defense and Pass rush snaps (and Coverage snaps if they have any). I think using the actual Pass rush snaps would be a better idea, so that's what I'm going with here.
The following is some basic calculations on how many Pass rush snaps these guys needed to create pressure (Sacks, Hits and Hurries) in the 2023/2024 season - Lower is better:
Colts players:
-
DeForest Buckner
- Pass rush snaps: 495
- Total Pressures: 52
- Snaps per Pressure: 9.52
-
Samson Ebukam
- Pass rush snaps: 450
- Total Pressures: 48
- Snaps per Pressure: 9.38
-
Tyquan Lewis
- Pass rush snaps: 259
- Total Pressures: 44
- Snaps per Pressure: 5.89
-
Dayo Odeyingbo
- Pass rush snaps: 365
- Total Pressures: 29
- Snaps per Pressure: 12.59
-
Kwity Paye
- Pass rush snaps: 410
- Total Pressures: 28
- Snaps per Pressure: 14.64
-
Grover Stewart
- Pass rush snaps: 218
- Total Pressures: 15
- Snaps per Pressure: 14.53
Lewis has been really good. But he's been a rotational piece, so it's not certain his prodcution would scale. I would like to see a lot more of him though.
Noteworthy Dline free agents 2024:
DTs:
-
Chris Jones, DT
- Pass rush snaps: 482
- Total Pressures: 75
- Snaps per Pressure: 6.43
-
Justin Madubuike, DT
- Pass rush snaps: 512
- Total Pressures: 64
- Snaps per Pressure: 9.52
-
Christian Wilkins, DT
- Pass rush snaps: 563
- Total Pressures: 58
- Snaps per Pressure: 8.00
-
DJ Reader, DT
- Pass rush snaps: 314
- Total Pressures: 34
- Snaps per Pressure: 9.24
-
Leonard Williams, DT
- Pass rush snaps: 221
- Total Pressures: 22
- Snaps per Pressure: 10.05
-
Fletcher Cox, DT
- Pass rush snaps: 480
- Total Pressures: 43
- Snaps per Pressure: 11.16
Chris Jones is off the charts man. Heard rumours he wanted $30m/year - yikes!
DEs:
-
Danielle Hunter, DE
- Pass rush snaps: 613
- Total Pressures: 80
- Snaps per Pressure: 7.66
-
Chase Young, DE
- Pass rush snaps: 480
- Total Pressures: 66
- Snaps per Pressure: 7.27
-
Josh Allen, DE
- Pass rush snaps: 513
- Total Pressures: 90
- Snaps per Pressure: 5.70
-
Brian Burns, DE
- Pass rush snaps: 379
- Total Pressures: 40
- Snaps per Pressure: 9.48
-
Jadeveon Clowney, DE
- Pass rush snaps: 482
- Total Pressures: 71
- Snaps per Pressure: 6.79
-
Bryce Huff, DE
- Pass rush snaps: 334
- Total Pressures: 67
- Snaps per Pressure: 4.99
-
Jonathan Greenard, DE
- Pass rush snaps: 405
- Total Pressures: 48
- Snaps per Pressure: 8.44
-
Andrew Van Ginkel, DE
- Pass rush snaps: 321
- Total Pressures: 53
- Snaps per Pressure: 6.06
Josh Allen and Van Ginkel (Who, I'll be honest, I've never heard of..) have done well. Both are OLBs though, so not sure how they would fit in our scheme? From his total snap counts it looks like Bryce Huff is a rotational piece a la Lewis. His prodcution might not scale.
Again, I didn't do this to prove a point or to say we need to go get player x. I just like digging around in these numbers. If there are stats for other positions groups you'd like me to look up I'll gladly do it.
Anyway you can do this for some college prospects? Love the work you do for us, it doesn't go unnoticed. Thank you.

Pittman, easy. How many times he's bailed us out.
Buck disrupts, but Grove stuffs the run, and let's the other 3 singled up.
So Pittman
Buck
Grove

TY Hilton, Reggie can get him up to speed. Still has his hands, maybe not as fast. Plus we still play Houston.

If we can get Vondre Sweat with a 2nd, I would take him. His frame would require a double team.

Thats a great question on DT
When Grover was out we got mowed over
Some folks like the ENORMOUS DT T Vondre Sweat to the Colts I think he is a 3-4 NT vs a 4-3 DT
Byron Murphy or Masaan Smith may be consideration to back up Grover, (IMHO)
What's there round prediction?
-
Ok so we take Junior in the 3rd, not bad pick if he can help ST right away and fill in his 1st year. Ready to step up his 2nd year.
We need a good road grader at DT, in case something happens to Grove. What big mass of a human coming in next year?

I feel very confident in 44 as MLB for this team, so I wouldnt want to replace him
We do need a SSLB or WSLB depending on where Speed plays
We need a 3rd outside LB and their are a few available in round 2 or 3
I like 44, but I think he's average and the system makes him look good. His coverage isn't great, but he's awesome at the run. I think out of all 25 starting spots. MLB is one position I think can be upgraded greater than any.

From my fan perspective I think we need to get in this draft
WR1
Play making Free safety
LB
I think the need for WR is 3rd now. Cross with the way he's been playing, I would put safety behind WR. When Grove went out our defense suffered alot. I think a road grader DT is priority, but don't think it requires a 1st round pick unless your replacing Grove. Only position I see worth 1st round that we need is sure fire can't miss MLB. Besides that just depth.
Who is the best MLB coming out this year?
-
What position do we need a starter, or we looking at just depth?
-
Cross!!! Looks like we may end up with Woods, Mallory and Ogletree as our TEs by end of next camp.

Blake Freeland, with his speed and being a former TE. He can actually run routes.

Yeah that whole Pittman isn't elite is so stupid.
The guy balls out when given a chance. He's not Marvin Harrison... So what...
Apparently better, more receptions than Marvin in 1st 4 seasons. Better resign him soon or it's going to be expensive.

Pick #46/ #82 What's Available Day 2? Discussion
in Colts Football
Posted
Pierce is an upgrade over Pierce this year cause of our QB. All those yards he ran without a target, he'll see more targets this year, so I'm good going defense in the 1st 3 rounds. Corner or safety next 2 rounds, or even LB.
