Laughed so hard at this

IMHO it’s incredibly foolish to tie up cap space for mid level WR when the draft class is loaded with them.

Is it crazy to think that since the colts were 1 game away from winning the division and going to the playoffs with a very limited back up QB that we really don’t need as much as some of us think we do?

Would have made 0 sense to sign a mid lever WR top money when this class is loaded

Well everyone, today is the day we get some players and everyone can be a little less angry.

Was getting ready to say this to @BProland85. It would only be too 5 this year, he’d quickly fall down to middle of the pack $$$

FWIW I was actually asking the question, not being passive aggressive. I’ve watched the least amount of film this year than I have in 10 years. Mainly listening to podcast lately so I haven’t been able to watch any of the WR aside from what I saw this past fall. I do believe AR will push the ball down the field much more frequently, I feel that even when AR was on the field he was still held back from throwing the deep ball by Shane. MHJ or Nabers would absolutely be the missing piece. The rest seem to have glaring weaknesses. Mitchell seems like who I would prefer but the way he left Georgia could be of concern? I really need to sit down and watch tape though.

I think a lot of people are pushing Brian Thomas to the Colts. However he is kind of in the same mold of AP. Thing is with AP he has been doing all of the dirty work and down field blocking without complaining at all. Would Thomas really do that much more for when we already arent utilizing our deep field guy?

I’d love too but it looks like guys are going to be in the fields early this year so my spare time is already 0. I do hate missing this again.

Caleb turns into an absolute locker room cancer. J.J McCarthy goes before Jayden Daniels. Bo Nix has immediate success.

With a 4.61 40 I wouldn’t be surprised if he last until the 3rd

You are aware that he didn't get cut right? He got put on the commissioners exempt list, he is still on the list and it is up to the NFL to decide if anything suspensions or fines happen. If they decide nothing and take him off the list then he goes right back on to the Colts roster...

Why?

I’ve really been thinking Mitchell lately but there is a glaring issue with that. It’s that with our scheme we don’t require a true lock down CB. It’s easier and cheaper to find a zone CB than a top tier press man CB. I don’t see Ballard spending a top pick at CB when edge rusher, WR, possible tightend or even a DT are sitting there unless it’s truly BPA

I would put some money on the fact neither of these players will end up being there at 15, but in this scenario they have both fallen and I have also won the lottery. Mitchell is a stud, if he wasn’t a small school prospect he wouldn’t get out of the top 5-7 picks. In my opinion he is ahead of Wiggins and had one of the best pre draft processes. Dude can ball and I don’t think there is any doubt, in my eyes he may be the best DB to come out since sauce. Bowers is a stud and no doubt a blue chip prospect who if he falls it will only be because of his position. He’s been touted as one of the best TE’s the past 2 seasons and I absolutely feel like he’s lived up too it. A little strength training and work with blocking and he will be a complete tight end. Both guys can be difference makers on our team. Which one are you going with?

I've got a suspicion Mitchell may go top 10.....

Sorry to hear about your loss. It was another golden retriever or a kid, so my wife got a puppy instead. Jokes on me though because I'm the only one that's been up with the puppy the past 3 nights lol She sleeps for 2-3 hours and then is back up. Gotta love crate training... Sister has her today so hopefully my nieces are playing with her enough that she will sleep a bit more tonight.

I apologize, I misread it as on a teammate and not against a teammate. Running on 3 hours of sleep thanks to a new puppy so my bad lol

Say's it right in the article and it came straight from Rodgers "In his first public comments since being suspended in June by the NFL for violating its gambling policy, former Indianapolis Colts cornerback Isaiah Rodgers Sr. confirmed the abundance of bets he was involved with, and that he won $1,000 for betting on then-teammate Jonathan Taylor."

He really should be suspended for life. That behavior is absolutely detrimental to the sport. He knew he was breaking the rules and continued to do it.

I guess I was talking just about his time with Indy not Dallas. He’s been a solid player for the boys but still not quite the Ed Reed type FS he was slated to be.

I did then, and still do now, feel like Hooker was a panic pick. They admittedly didn't bring him in until the very last moment because they didn't think he was going to fall. I don't think they did their due diligence on Hooker and when he fell to them they panicked and took him thinking a blue chip prospect they hadn't truly considered was there for the taking. He was uber talented and man did he flash, but injuries was his demise which was the question mark coming out of college. Maybe with a little more time they could have avoided the pick? I still wont hold his very first class against him though.

FWIW his PFF grade is absolutely insane. 2023 overall is a 91.5, a dip from his 22 season from 92.5.... for 2023 Coverage grade is 91.6, man coverage 88.7 zone coverage is 85.9. His competition isn't great so this week is huge for him. some other grades of guys at CB Cooper Dejean 2023 overall 77.4, coverage 76.8 man coverage 63.7 zone is 73.1 Nate Wiggins overall 81.6, coverage 82.9, man coverage 78.5, zone is 74 Terrion Arnold overall 88.3, coverage 84.9, man coverage 61.2 zone is 81.9 Kool-aid McKinstry overall 88.8, coverage 87.8, man coverage 74.7 zone is 83.8 Ennis Rakestraw overall is 80.7 coverage 78.7, man coverage 56.6 zone is 85.2 PFF is to be taken with a grain of salt still but that's insane for Mitchell to be graded that high.

I saw this the other day and have been pondering it. Pierce is asked to do the dirty work to open up the rest of the field for everyone else. He runs more vertical routes then anyone else in the league so DB's are likely keying up on that and anticipating a deep route. So he is open about 3 times a game for a deep bomb so that does still validate peoples thought of him being open frequently. All while keeping his DB and a safety away, allowing more space for everyone else.

Man having Richardson really did open things up for Steichen. You can see how the safety's actually had to respect the deep ball
