K-148

Nelson - 6th pick (1st round). Kelly - 18th pick (1st round). Smith - 37th pick (almost 1st round). And another 1st round - 2nd round pick for LT?! And then resign them all? It's too much draft capital to invest. Sometimes you have to scheme it, not overspend it.

On main page and Colts' page 65,685,217. But when you press "2021 Cap Space" it is 72,725,217.

Cheap veteran crab legs. ;)

No LT, no WR1, no TE1, no CB1, no ED1... Too much "no" to invest too much in QB position. So draft BPA, sign 1-3 high profile FA, start Eason and sign Jameis Winston to be backup.

Chris Godwin, Denzel Perryman.

So problem is not zone defense by itself, right? Even zone with cushions is legit, but not with that weak pressure, poor awareness and bad tackling.

Wasn't Legion of Boom Cover 3 zone defense for the most part?

Zone defense like speed limit. Every car can reach it, no car allowed to brake it.

Sure. But Minshew complited 19 passes to 10 different receivers. No true n. 1 receiver. It's not like some star receiver burnt our secondary playing zone.

You can't be half pregnant. So if you are not ready to field a team to play man against best, play zone.

And playing man defense is expensive. Ramsey got 21 mil. per year... to cover 1 receiver at a time. Imagine playing man against Evans, Goodwin, Howard, Gronk.

PFF graded our dline extremly poor outside of Autry and Buckner. Houston and Muhammad are in low 60's, Stewart about 55, Banogu 42. So no pressure. DBs made their part: kept plays in front of them, no big plays.

Rivers 36 of 46 = 78,3%. 363 yards total, 7,9 yards per att. Oline only 6 pressures on 50 dropbacks (PFF). Colts 22 rush att. for 88 yards, Jaguars 23 rush att. for 93 yards. Defense got 4 sacks, keep under 180 yards passing. It's not like sky is falling. We have mediocre DBs and it shows. Just like offense has new QB, new RB, new WR3 and doesn't have normal offseason or preseason games.

1. Keep Jacoby to make other teams guessing, will the Colts draft QB or not. 2. Draft QB. 3. Cut Jacoby or trade, even with our additional pick next draft. 4. Sign more FA.

Overthecap lists Brissett with 12,5 mil. dead money (pre or post June 1). Hoyer > 2 mil. pre, 1 mil. post June 1. So from financial point of view there is no reason to cut Brissett. Maybe, because of locker room?
