  1. We don't have a need for Solder. We got AC who's actually better, and younger. We gotta bring in some interior offensive linemen. No need for a T. If we could land Norwell and Kline to play G we'll be set. I'd bring Mewhort back to play RT personally, but I'd feel fine with Haeg, Good, and Clark battling for the RT spot with 4 really good-great starters everywhere else. Plus those 3 guys's development.

     

    I could see us bringing in Amendola, and I'd like that signing for the right amount. We have to bring in a big 6'2-6'4 stud WR like Allen Robinson to pair with TY, but we also need to bring in a 3rd WR too. At least a vet to battle it out with Chester Rogers. Jaron Brown comes to mind. But Amendola would kill it with us in the slot. Robinson Hilton, Amendola would be a dominant trio, and Rogers would be perfect as the 4th receiver.

     

    As for Lewis I'd love that signing. But I mean we really need a true feature back to pair with Marlo Mack. Mack is legit IMO. Will be a perfect number 2 RB IMO.

     

    Amendola is the most likely of the 3 IMO. And I don't want us to be signing 30 plus year old FA's 1 vet like DA would be great mixed with 4-5 big time young FA signings. He can still ball and he'd provide some leadership and bring a winning mentality with him.

  2. I'd love to get D-Lawrence. But no way Dallas lets him go, and if they do. You got him severely under paid. Joyner is pretty under paid too, and we don't have a need for him. We need a Malcolm Butler, Trumaine Johnson type.. And Paul Richardson should get more money than that. Then we don't need to waste the 3rd pick on a RB when we can get a guy literally just as good in the 2nd or 3rd RD. We need to sign Andrew Norwell, Josh Kline for the OL. Allen Robinson at WR, then Malcolm Butler and Avery Williamson on D. Draft Chubb, and a week 1 starting ILB and RB in RD's 2-3. Then a WR or DT in RD 4.

  3. Luck back and 100% WITH some big time players added in FA and a big time draft. Maybe a SB contender, at worst a really good playoff team. IF we do those things along with a 100% 12. If we get Norwell and Kline Luck will finally have a monster OL protecting him. Which will also help his game mentally as well. Give him a big target like Allen Robinson opposite TY, and a good RB to pair with Mack and our offense is top of the league. Barkley looks like he's gonna be a superstar to me, but we don't have to waste the 3rd overall pick on a RB when you can get a stud RB in the 2nd-3rd.. Where were some of the best backs in thee NFL drafted ? Bell - 2nd. Johnson from Arizona. 3rd ? I think. Maybe 2nd. Look at this past draft. Hunt and Kamara were both 3rd rounders and they're better than the 2 taken RD 1. And this is a really deep RB class. Yeah Luck needs a stud RB. But he can be had in the 2nd-3rd like I said. The other thing is defense. We can get our own Miller, Mack, etc with Bradley Chubb. Then we can get a star RB, and a day 1 starting beast ILB in the 2nd-3rd. Re-Sign Melvin. Bring in a couple FA's like Malcolm Butler and Avery Williamson and we'll be stacked on both sides of the ball. Assuming both Melvin and Woods pick up where they left off, and Hooker, Farley, and Wilson all take big steps forward. We could have a top 10 defense to go with a top 2-3 offense if not the number 1 offense.

  4. We will have the most money to spend in the entire NFL. Probably close to 90 million in cap room. This is what people don't get, and I've said this 119 times and counting. When you have a young franchise QB YOU CAN turn into a contender in one offseason. Don't realize why some don't realize this. But you add on top of us having that young, elite, franchise QB. Pair it with the 3rd overall pick, and 80-90 million in cap room. Easy. So. Is Andrew Norwell a superstar ? Heck yes. He's an all pro, he's young, and getting better every season.  Is he Martin or Osemele ? Na. NOT YET ANYWAY.. But who cares. Make him the highest paid Guard in the NFL.  He's an ascending player who's already a top 5-6ish G, and on this contract he'll probably reach a whole different level and become known as one of the 2-3 best interior OL in the league. Then bring in somebody like Kline as well. Bring Mewhort back if he's willing to take a cheap 1year deal and have to fight  for a starting job......At RT. Which honestly I think he would be even better at. He's solid when healthy. He's just not ever 100%. A 1 year deal to earn a big payday would push him...So...We'd then have Mewhort, Haeg, Good, Clark battling it out for the RT spot. I do NOT want to see us use a high RD pick on the OL considering where we're picking in each RD. And especially when we can just sign a couple star caliber G's in FA. Problem solved. IMO drafting a OL early would be dumb when we can use those top 2-3 picks on EDGE, ILB, and RB and just sign a proven young all pro caliber G. We have the chance to get our own Von Miller, Kahlil Mack type EDGE rusher this draft. We need to continue to build a beastly young core on defense.

     

    Castanzo - Norwell - Kelly - Kline - Mewort........Then Haeg, Good, Clark, and Person as the backups.  That's not just an improved OL. LOL. Na. That's a top 3-5 OL in the entire NFL.

     

     

    I was pleased with what we done last year. Adding quality depth, Some young players like Simon, Hankins, and even Sheard. He's what ? Like 28 ? But Simon and Hankins should have their best years on their current contracts. Simon was balling out before he got hurt. Ballard showed the knack to find gems in FA like the addition of Woods who I absolutely loved, and could maybe be our starting NT for the next 2-3 years.. He played at a very high level this season. He seems to have had a good draft, as I see Hooker being a top 5 safety in the league. Wilson being a really good CB. Maybe a number 1 caliber CB. Hairston who IMO will be a really good nickel. I think Basham will be a good pass rusher. Mack will be a beast at RB. Then who knows what we have in Stewart. Point is he had a solid first draft for the most part.

  5. 1) I love Rogers. I think he has some major potential. He's shown it on the field, and next year he'll have Luck throwing to him and 2 years of experience. At the very worst he's a great 4th WR. At best he turns into a stud number 2 caliber.

     

    2) I'm always upset with Crief. He plays soft, and he don't ever seem to give it 100%. I expected MUCH more by now. But With Moncrief I'm still scared to let him go. Here's why. He's still very young, and as we know it takes some players 3-4-5 years to put it all together. He hasn't played with a healthy 12, or been 100% healthy himself since his 2nd season when it looked like he was breaking out. (733 yrds, 6 TD's) He's shown what he's capable of when he goes all out and has 12 throwing to him. He wont get anything more than a 1 year deal from any other team, and that would probably be to come in and compete for the 3rd WR spot, and lol. The final reason I'm scared to let him go is basically what I've said. The fear he'll breakout somewhere else and we'll have a major regret. I mean the kid does have as much POTENTIAL as any FA WR available. Its just who knows if he'll breakout and realize his potential or continue to be mediocre.

     

    Final thoughts. We have to bring in a stud to pair with TY. Robinson, Landry, Gordon or Bryant maybe ? We gotta sign one of the big time guys. Then if Moncrief accepts our offer. Bring him back on a cheap 1 year deal and let him and Rogers fight it out for the 3rd spot. Draft a WR in the 4th-5th. If we don't bring him back I'm hoping we bring in 2 guys. Maybe 1 FA, and a 3rd-4th RD pick to let battle it out with Rogers ? 2 FA signings ? Personally I'd rather go the FA route, then draft a WR in the 4-5 range and not in the 3rd. So sign Allen Robinson. Then a guy like Paul Richardson would be ideal. But there's a lot of really good options, and will be more after some guys get released. So my preference is Robinson and Richardson if we let Moncrief go. I want Robinson bad. He would be a top 10 WR with Luck IMO. But say we land Robinson, if Richardson is too costly to spend on a number 3 WR I Wouldn't mind Ryan Grant or Jordan Mathews. But Hilton paired with Robinson would be an unstoppable duo with Luck throwing to them.

  6. Bring Mewhort back on a cheap 1year deal to play RT. Re-Sign Melvin.

     

    Andrew Norwell OG

    Josh Kline OG

    Allen Robinson WR

    Paul Richardson WR

    Avery Williamson ILB

    Malcolm Butler CB

    Jerry Attaochu (Cheap, could be a big time steal, depth)

     

    Chubb RD1, Star ILB RD2, Stud RB in RD3 and we're set for the most part. Maybe hit big on a 4th or 5th rounder. We just gotta hit big time in the first 3 IMO, meaning 3 stating, star caliber impact players.

     

    We got the cap room to turn things around over night with a healthy 12 coming back, and an actual coaching staff. We get a superstar caliber G with Norwell, another very good G in Kline. Mewhort would probably be better at RT and shouldn't cost much for 1 year. We'd without a doubt have a top 3 OL if not the best. Robinson gives us a major complement to TY. Robinson IMO is a number 1 type WR. Richardson as the number 3 would be unstoppable. Hilson, Robinson and Richardson at WR. Doyle, Travis, Swoope at TE. Mack and a rookie at RB. Then finally a 100% healthy and confident Andrew Luck throwing them the ball, with a beast OL protecting him, and an actual run game and Its on. Then on D we get a shut down CB, and a very, very good all around ILB. If we hit big with our first 3 picks we'll have 3 rookie starters. And I'm talking like Kahlil Mack, Jordan Hicks, Kareem Hunt, type rookie year impact. (Going by RD lol)  We're solid on he DL. Williamson paired with a star rookie, sideline to sideline ILB and we're set for years. Chubb, Simon, Sheard, Attaochu, and Basham who should be much improved gives us a mean pass rush. Hooker and Fraley at S with Geathers as the 3rd S, and dime ILB. Should get snaps everywhere. Butler and Melvin shutting down WR's, with the help of a really good pass rush, then Wilson and Hairston IMO will be much improved in their 2nd seasons, and IMO both will be good to very good corners. They'll be fighting for the nickel spot.  

     

     

  7. Thoughts on Pugh first up. I want Norwell BAD. AND Kline ????

     

    Luck coming back

    New coaching staff

    Up and coming young players (Hooker, Wilson, Hairston, Basham, Ridge, Anderson, Mack, etc.)

    80-90 Million in cap room

    High Draft Picks

     

    We should be a tp 5 team assuming Luck comes back, with a stout OL and we bring in the right players in draft/FA..

     

    Trade JB for a 3rd and a 4th.

     

    Draft Chubb. He's a stud EDGE rusher. 12-15 sack Miller/Mack/Houston type game wrecker. He's what I've been wanting. He'll be a day 1 wrecking machine. Then draft a big time sideline-sideline coverage ILB in RD 2, RB RD3, WR RD4, WR RD5, then BPA at whatever position after. Maybe we'll get a stud in RD's 4-6.

     

    Bring Crief back on a 1year deal. Melvin back on whatever. Maybe Melvin has put it together and turned into that star number 2, borderline number 1 CB. And bring back Mewhort on a 1year deal to play RT. Between Mewhort, Haeg, Good, and Clark we will be solid with 4 beasts along the line. No worries there. Mewhort and Moncrief aren't worth more than a 1year prove it deal IMO. Mewhort would probably be better at RT anyways if he can stay on the field and not be a sissy.

     

    Throw buckets of money at these guys and Sign

    Allen Robinson WR (1year)

     

    Andrew Norwell G (Big money)

     

    Malcolm Butler CB (Big Money)

     

    Josh Kline G (pretty big money)

     

    Avery Willimson ILB (pretty big money)

     

    Jerry Attaochu EDGE ( Cheap. Another 24 year old. Shown big potential in the past. Cheap upgrade over Mingo, and could breakout with 10 sacks)

     

    Ryan Fitzpatrick QB (Cheap backup QB)

     

    Kevin Pierre-Louis ILB (Backup money, still only 24, very athletic and has potential)

     

    5 pretty big signings, but we have the cash to do it.

     

    That's studs via free agency.  Guys who will change our team day 1. We should be a 10-11 win team. Give Luck that OL, with those weapons, and a D like this and it'll FINALLY be on. Willimson is a beast. Paired with a draftee we'd be set. Then Chubb and Simon at OLB, with Sheard, Basham (Who may be a surprise next year btw) at OLB.

     

    This is just half a double s and quick, so draftees may not add up other than top picks. I want 2-3 rookie starters though.

     

    DE Henry Anderson / Hassan Ridgeway

    NT Al Woods / Grover Stewart / 5th-7th RD Pick

    DT Johnathan Hankins / Margus Hunt 

    OLB Bradley Chubb / Tarrell Basham / Jerry Attaochu

    ILB Avery Willimson / Kevin Pierre-Louis

    ILB RD2 Draft Pick / Anthony Walker

    OLB John Simon / Jabaal Sheard

    CB Malcolm Butler / 4th-6th RD Pick

    SS Mathias Farley / Clayton Geathers

    FS Malik Hooker / 5th-7th RD pick

    CB Rashaan Melvin / Quincy Wilson / Nate Hairston

     

    Wilson, Hairston, and the draft pick fights for the nickel spot. It's Wilson's IMO. He'll show out year2. Anderson should really breakout, along with Hooker, Farley. Chubb should be a monster from week 1 on. Whatever ILB we get in RD2 should be a monster like we've been needing along with AW, We could have a top 5 front 7, AND a top 5 secondary.

     

    QB Andrew Luck / Ryan Fitzpatrick

    RB Marlon Mack / 3rd RD Pick / 4th RD pick

    LT Anthony Castanzo /

    LG Andrew Norwell / Denzelle Good / La'Raven Clark / Joe Haeg

    C Ryan Kelly / Mike Person

    RG Josh Kline / Joe Haeg /  Denzelle Good

    RT Jack Mewhort / Joe Haeg / La'Raven Clark / Denzelle Good

    WR TY Hilton / 5th RD Pick

    WR Allen Robinson / 4th RD Pick

    WR Dontae Moncrief / Chester Rogers

    TE Jack Doyle / Eric Swoope / Ross Travis

     

    Luck will be 100%. He'd have a top 3 OL. A monster Run game. Mack should break out. He can create for himself, but with that line could AVG close to 5.0 YPC. Doyle is a beast. Reliable TE. Swoope will be back after showing some potential, and Travis may be the major surprise. Again 12 will be throwing to these guys. Then with Robinson opposite TY it'll be on. We could have a top 5 offense and defense over night.

     

    Get a stud OLB RD1, ILB RD2, RB RD3, then in some order 2 WR's, DT, S, CB, and another RB. You can always find a stud RB in RD's 2-4. We gotta hit big and pick up Pro Bowl type players in RD's 1-3 though. Then 1-2 gems in RD's 4-6.

     

     

  8. Should.ve traded for Kelvin Benjamin. Then signed Allen Robinson or Martavis Bryant. Bryant is what we need if he can get that chemistry with Luck and play 16 games, but we have to be a playoff team for him to perform IMO.

     

    So what about Allen Robinson on a 1year deal, then lock him up. He's a top 15ish WR, and a guy like Paul Richardson who's hitting his peak and should have his best years in his second 4 years. Like a Robert Woods this year. He or Jaron Brown could be next years Woods IMO

     

    We're gonna have some really good options to pick from at WR. MAJOR class. Sign a big name, draft a kid RD3-4, sign 2 WR's, or sign 1 stud then a vet/decent 3rd WR, AKA a guy who could kill it with a 100% heatly 12 to be our number 3 like a Wallace, Kendall Wright, Gabriel, Inman, Jaron Brown, Amendola, Richardson, etc. I'm leaving some out. Inman hasn't done much, but he was good last year. Maybe as a 3rd WR he could give us 700 and 8 ?

     

    But give me Allen Robinson and re-sign Moncrief to go with TY, Rogers, and a 4th RD pick.. Moncrief makes me so mad, but he's still ONLY 24 !!!!!! And balls out with Luck. He needs to be a dog out there, Give him 1 year and tell him what time it is. Be an alpha male or youre out for Chester Rogers. Rogers is more than capable of being the 3rd WR to TY and Allen Robinson. Plus a draft pick or 2.. But I mean Crief might be the best out of this entire group on this contract. I don't know if we should re-sign him or bring in a vet like Amendola or a guy like Richardson or Jaron Brown. 

     

    So....

    Allen Robinson

    TY Hilton

    Dontae Moncrief

    Chester Rogers

    3rd-4th RD Pick

    5th RD pick

    100% with you on this one. Whatever half these people are on, I want some. Farley has been one of the few bright spots this year. He’s playing some darn good football right now, and deserves to play that SS position for the Colts for some time.

     

    100. First year starting. 2nd season overall.all around safety who'll just get better and better. Its like. OK. We have one issue solved. We have our starting safety duo for the next  10years, PLUS Clayton as a 3rd option. Why mess that up and create another hole ??? Makes no sense. I mean  Hooker sould be a pro bowler, and Farley is an all around safety who'll really get some league wide recognition, he and Hooker next season because Luck back, high draft picks/80-90 million in cap room, it'll be on. We'll be a top tier team and get some recognition. Trading away any of our good young players is dumb as ____. I cant believe some still don't see how good Farley is and will be.

  10. Havent started looking into the class much yet. But with the cap room we have.......Throw money at 3-4 superstars. The top G, WR, ILB, and maybe a CB. Then draft the hell outta some pass rushers. We can get a star, 15 sack beast like Chubb, and another EDGE rusher, G, or a beast sideline-sideline ILB in RD2. I want a Mack/Miller/Houston etc type EDGE rusher though no matter what. Then an ILB like KeuchleyWagner/Hicks, etc.

  11. You guys are trippin man. The kids been really good this year, and will continue to get better. He'll be starting over Geathers. Geathers should be a backup, Dime/situational ILB. If not full time ILB. Farley and Hooker will be one of the top 3 safety duos in the NFL next year.

  12. Man I’m mad. On first take. Listen how dumb Max is. I quote. Or kinda paraphrase in a mocking way. “Oh we need to get rid of the PED’s and the opioid pain killers” “We need that out of the league to make it less violent”  OH MY GOD WHAT A WUSS. I NOW HATE YOU MAX !!! YOU FREAKING SISSY !!!! First. I want to see PED’s and pain killers in the league. It makes the NFL better, yeah. Harder hits, allows players to play through more injuries, and I mean that’s obvious. 2nd. For the 100,000 time !!! Most the entire league is on opioids anyways. “BIG FREAKING DEAL MAX” Guess What dude. We want violence in the NFL. We like fights, violent hits, taunting, all of it. Most of us, and as bad as some may hate this. Most of us hard *, hellraisin, loud guy fans are former players and/or meat heads (and I’m proud of it man) who gets up, gets wild, loud, excited and rowdy when we see somebody get laid the ___ out. It’s like BOO YAH !!! Guys like us. Yeah dude. We love hard and violent hits. How could he not want to watch real football ??? Too bad Max. You can’t change it. The NFL players are some of the last real men left. Theres not gonna be a Jenner out there on the gridiron anytime soon !!!!

  13. That’s what’s up. Couldn’t of said it better. People need to quit being so soft and sissified and realize this is football. A mans game. It’s not for these new era sissies. So Mike Mitchell is now one of my favorite players and one of my most respected. That’s what’s up baby !!!! 

     

     

  14. Who knows. Look at Tennessee’s G’s. Spain and Kline. They were nobodies 1.5 years ago and a lot of fans had never heard of either. With that said I want a Zach Martin, Marshall Yanda TYPE G at at least one Guard spot. We can’t afford to hope a guy improves or anything of that sort. We have tons of cap space. We gotta get an immediate fix for the O-Line. Maybe sign 2 G’s. Or sign one and draft one. We could probably get the best G in the draft in the 2nd round if we keep losing. 

  15. Lol. Wow. What ever happened to being tough ? Oh yeah. Never mind. But he sucked the few games he played this year. Again. Around 90 million this offseason. If he can’t be tough and stay on the field. Bye. Sign the best two offensive linemen on the market. Or draft one in RD2 or RD3 plus a FA signing. We’ve done this stupid crap for years. It’s time to fix the line overnight this offseason. AC and Kelly are alright. Haeg, Good, Clark, one should be able to hold down the starting RT spot. Bring in 2 guards
