[Official Draft Thread!]

Gruden mentioned it, but could Werner really be our JJ Watt... and did the "E" misspell his name as Bjoern because wiki shows it as Bjorn?!? Inquiring minds want to know.

I believe because the English version has no umlaut over the "O" you would add the "e"

[Official Draft Thread!]

Our very own JJ Watt?

Hunt could have been.

[Official Draft Thread!]

Rather have Rhodes, Hunt, or Patterson. Oh well. That's why they don't pay me the big bucks.

[Your Final Colts 1st Round Prediction]

Who I want: Xavier Rhodes CB, FSU

(If he's still on the board we must get him. Quick, glue-like coverage. KNOWS HOW TO TACKLE. Sometimes jumps routes which could hurt him in the NFL)

 

Who I think we'll draft: Xavier Rhodes CB, FSU

 

 

Darkhorse: Cordarrelle Patterson WR, Tennessee (Probably will be gone by pick 24. Big receiver, raw route runner, HUGE athletic ability)

 

 

[Laron Landry FTW]

I'm glad the obvious face guarding on Avery was included in the highlight. He has more speed than I originally thought though.

[Indianapolis Colt's WR depth.....]

Before the combine I was hoping Coradarelle Patterson (sp.) would fall a few spots, but now it looks like they're considering him the best WR available in the draft. Hopefully Grigs has a plan to add some WR depth and hopefully it's a tall one with a good vertical.

[Colts have placed the franchise tag on Pat McAfee]

Adam Schefter's tweet irked me a little:

 

 

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter

Proof of how front offices view rosters differently than fans: Colts used franchise tag on P Pat McAfee, not DE/LB Dwight Freeney.

 

What fans is he talking about? 

Freeney didn't fit anymore and I think most (reasonable) fans would agree.

 

Edit: I don't understand the constant dig at the fans. The NFL would be NOTHING without loyal fans. Even Schefter might not have a good job without us. Sorry for the rant but I had to get that off my chest.

[AFC South 2013]

According to Bleacher Report, we are the favorites.

It all depends what happens this offseason. Ask me again in August.

The huge cap room could definitely give us the edge if Grigson has another 2012 FA/Draft.

[ESPN's AFC Playoff Questions]

Here's a breakdown to show how ridiculous that statement is.

AFC vs teams with winning records:

 

Broncos: 2-3

- Loss @ Falcons

- Loss vs Texans

- Loss @ Patriots

- Win @ Bengals

- Win @ Ravens

Patriots: 3-3

- Loss @ Ravens

- Win vs Broncos

- Loss @ Seahawks

- Win vs Colts

- win vs Texans

- Loss vs 49ers

Texans: 4-4

Ravens: 3-4

Bengals: 3-2

So by this knowledge the Colts are better than the Broncos and equal to the Patriots.. The Bengals are the only team with a winning record against NFL teams WITH winning records.

  In conclusion, it is obvious the Bengals will win the AFC. 

[A Steelers loss increases our chances. [Merge]]

ravens losing wouldnt help. they already clinched a playoff spot, but not the division

I did the playoff machine. If Jets lose tomorrow, according to the algorithm, the colts clinch a playoff spot. Even if the Steelers and Bengals tie each other next week.

[on the bright side]

I'm not sure, I haven't looked at the tiebreakers.  But I wouldn't be surprised if we do have the advantage

We will have a better conference record so we get the tiebreaker.

[Colts Vs Falcons Prediction Thread]

Colts - 17

Falcons - 27

[Why In The World Would You Draft Luck]

Honestly, I'm not sure where Polian/Irsay want to take this team. I don't know if they want to "rebuild" or try and win a few more with Peyton.

No one in the upper offices is being honest and this is disappointing as a fan. Be honest with your fans. They know what they are planning to do. Odds are they are going to get the #1 pick because at this point, the Colts are WORSE than the Dolphins.

I can't see the Colts trading Peyton, and with the new rookie salary rules, they can probably afford to keep both QB's (Manning and Luck).

I honestly love seeing the high powered offense even with a sub-par defense. It makes Sundays more exciting.

These are all professional football players. Our defense actually has talent. They are VERY injured right now. I think the coaching is lacking.

I KNOW Jim Irsay knows what he is doing as far as building a good football team. As far as Bill Polian: I tend to question his decisions.

In the end it is a business. Fans fund the team. Fans want a winning football team. I'm not an expert, but I think drafting (and keeping) Luck would be the best decision.
