heck just bring in Jerel Worthy for cheap after the draft if there are no better options, can't fix everything in one year, even with Draft and FA

Bennie would've been Nice:(
Any of those scenarios could've happened but more then likely it was much simpler. There's no formula to building a team, its not a cookie cutter process. Every team does it there own way, many have success building through the draft and then just keeping there own. When your GM shizz the bed with 3 1st round picks in a row its really hard to just rely on building through the draft. The money is there because we have no young players getting max contracts and none on the horizon coming up. Hankins hasn't been very productive as a pass rusher the past 2 years I'll give u that, 2014 had 7 sacks which is very impressive.
we have max contracts now?

How is 6-8 mil over paying Hankins? Before FA started that was his value, he's hurt his stock by being greedy but he's still worth somewhere in between. God I hate That excuse, "good teams build through the draft." Good teams improve their roster any way any how and by any means. Hankins has pass rush ability, you reading to much into PFF statistics last year I'm sure. Hankins will be had for a bargain price and we will be sorry
Who says Hankins is even willing to sign for 6-8 million at this point? It would seem that he is running out of options, but he also knows there are several teams left with huge amounts of cap space.....

From a Colts.com article.
" Last year, the Colts were in sub packages for around 65 percent of their defensive snaps, so the need to rely on Woods/Parry will primarily only be needed on earlier downs."
This would add up to about 375 plays. We play more 4-2.
There is still a NT and an UT in a 4-2...... not the exact same responsibilities as a 3-4 NT, but it's filled by a NT nonetheless

What I'd like to know is how the Jags, who have spending in the last 2 seasons like they spending monopoly money, have more cap space than us who have been penny pinchers the last 2 seasons?
And how do players agree to sign there(historically one of the worst franchises in sports) AND players not want to come here?
well, for one, there's no state income tax in FL...... and they do tend to have more money than TB and MIA

LOL the folks saying "get it through your head, he doesn't play Nose, so the team isn't even interested"

I'm especially intrigued by Stewart, I am going to have to look into it, and try to find out what base Defense he played in at Albany..... certainly has the size to play 3-4 Nose.....
Strengths
Powerful, NFL-ready frame with thick lower half and evenly displaced weight throughout. Jolts opponents with good initial pop that can knock blockers off their spots. Carries brute force in upper body with natural anchor to fight back against double teams. Showed off impressive straight line speed at his pro day. Athletic big man who will coast on blocks before flashing eye-opening reactive quickness disengaging and making tackles when runners try to race through his gaps. Bull-rush specialist able to create some pocket cave once he starts rolling downhill.
Weaknesses
Needs to play with better coordination between hands and feet. Lacks consistent feel for down blocks and double teams. Can be a little slow to set his anchor. Pad level is too tall. Improved bend and leverage would help generate more consistent results at point of attack. Rolls into initial contact rather than crowding and working with a quick punch-and-control technique. Raw and unskilled as a hand fighter. Slow to discard smaller blockers and allows them longer rides than they deserve. Face-up rusher lacking the upper body flexion and go-to move to slither into backfield.
NFL Comparison
Deon Simon
Bottom Line
Stewart's girth, power and potential could lead a team to take him on the third day as a developmental run-stuffer capable of playing on the nose or at three-technique. Stewart is still very raw, but additional technique work could unleash a much more capable interior defender as he has the traits. The jump in competition will take some time to adjust to, but like other small school interior defenders before him, Stewart has the potential to work himself into a more prominent role within the first two or three years.

We historically sign and roster at least a few UDFA every year, for the last Decade plus...., we also have many positions to fill on the roster this offseason. With that in mind we must be a pretty enticing team for any undrafted guys this year. I thought I'd put together a list of the guys that intrigue me if they do go undrafted, and see what everyone else thought about these potential targets....
Grover Stewart DT, Albany State 6-4 347
Ralph Green III DT, Indiana 6-3 313
Jack Tocho, CB NC State 6-0 202
Treston DeCoud, CB Oregon 6-2 206
Fish Smithson, FS Kansas 5-10, 201
Damien Mama, OG USC 6-3 334
Rushell Shell, RB West Virginia 5-10, 227
Elijah Hood, RB North Carolina 6-0 232
James Onwualu, OLB Notre Dame 6-1 228
Tashawn Bower, OLB LSU 6-5 250
Garrett Sickles, Edge Penn State 6-3, 261
Isaac Rochell, DE Notre Dame 6-4 280
Ifeadi Odenigbo, Edge Northwestern 6-3 258
Ricky Seals-Jones TE Texas Tech 6-5 243
Justin Vogel, P Miami (FL) -4 219

Just now, gacker65 said:
Sheard played 16 games started 8 and got only 5 sacks.
Simon played in 16 games and got 3.5 sacks.
I will wait to see if Simon can play Sam OLB, but Sheard is not a pass rusher.
What seems to be overlooked is, Ballard now has to hit on 3 day 1 starters for the Defense and 1 has to be an impact player to make this Defense competitive. Otherwise we are looking at what we have been watching for years, a good Offense and a so so Defense.
I don't think anyone thought he'd have every problem solved in one offseason, that's not a likely scenario for any team with such a poor draft record as we've had for years..... Even if you could plug the roster well enough to guarantee a big season, we'd be in the same spot in few years as the FA's aged or needed resigned..... no one wants that do they?

You sound like a Ballard apologist and he hasn't really even done anything yet.
keeping an open mind about someone who 'hasn't really even done anything yet' makes one an apologist? Things must be awfully narrow in from your viewpoint....

I highly doubt he'll go RB round 1 or 2. Probably 3 or 4 is my guess.
Since we have only excerpts of Holder's interview, and no real context..... perhaps since Irsay acknowledged needing several years of drafting to build out the team, when Mr. Irsay spoke of getting a RB sooner, rather than later, he simply meant "sooner" as in THIS year, as opposed to a future off-season?

None honestly. They were necessary signings so we could field a defense, but I see most of them as stopgaps until we get some better ones. Sheard can play the Walden role but we're gonna need to upgrade the other ones eventually.
I'd be pretty surprised to see Sheard in the Walden role, unless we get a day 1 starter at rush backer, which is entirely possible, and even desirable...... if we don't then I think Simon will be in Walden's edge setting spot... Sheard the weak side.

I find it hard to believe they think Sean spence is better then brown
Hard to argue that the team didn't see Spence as a better VALUE than Brown, as of today anyway....seeing as they signed Spence, and have, as of yet, passed on Brown, no?

Brown picking between raiders and dolphins. Wants 6 mil a year. Not sure why the colts wouldn't paid that
If they had any real interest, I'm sure they would..... they obviously aren't of the opinion he would be worth the investment for this team....

he's an ILB, transferred to Albany. undersized at 6-1, 235
-
not really.... Ballard COULD decide he's happy with S/S....... I agree with you though, he'll take a rusher early, because this is hopefully our highest draft pick in a long while, and on top of that...... Pass rushers are not acquired as free agents...... they just don't come free if worthy....

what an entitled wuss.....

difference is ballard dosent give big money to average players
oh, Grigson definitely overpayed...... witness this link, people then thought he overpayed greatly..... hindsight being 20-20, he definitely did.
-
2 minutes ago, NewColtsFan said:
I think Grigson would've made ALL the moves except maybe trading Allen.
But the FA moves are very Grigson-like so far. Inexpensive to mid-priced free agents. So far, nothing huge or super expensive. It used to drive people here crazy, they HATED that.
Now that Ballard is doing it, so far it is GENIUS!!
Signing Simon and Sheard is fine, just as signing Jean-Francois and Walden were fine......
-
yeah, I changed my mind on that post-achilles-news...... no way i'd do it with that significant an injury, and yes, he is slight of build to begin with

Oh man, Local station that covers UW sports is reporting a torn achilles? if true, that sucks....
Hankins visited Colts today (merge)

That's what I'm thinking, Ballard probably wanted 3 years, and Hankins wants 1 and then a chance to cash in next year, same scenario we had with Poe.....
