Is that a complete list? Glad to see Mike Peterson on the list, one of my all time favorite Colts. Still don't understand how Polian didn't think he was good enough to be resigned. Great player. Where's Eugene Daniel and Ray Buchanan?
It is really difficult for corners to get in. I think there are only 19 corners in the HoF (out of 36 total DB's) and out of that 19, 11 started their career prior to 1980. Eugene and Ray both have some pretty good interception numbers, but not HoF level.

lol Jeff George
Amazing that his name would be put out there, isn't it!
Just under 28K yards in 12 seasons, he would have needed another 10k yards to be in real consideration and he was a pariah everywhere he went.

OK, here's an interesting question... would you give an extra 1st for one of them? Lets say Nabers or MHJ falls to 6(right ahead of the Titans)? Do you go get him? I'm usually against trading up for anything but QB but... I would be very tempted...
Wow that would be tough. As a rule I'm not ever in favor of giving up a future 1st. It is so incredibly valuable and we've seen so many times where that has severely blown up in a team's face(Houston for example has been on the giving and receiving end of that in recent history).
You would need absolute faith in Richardson as well. Not only that he would be healthy for the overwhelming majority of games next year but also that he would be a top 10 qb.
I think if Ballard actually did trade 2 1sts to move up for a receiver I would probably die of a heart attack!

You should add Chris Hinton to your list

More like 4 years $90 mil. is what I am prepared for, with half of it guaranteed, given current WR markets. The elite ones get $25-30 mil. per year. MPJ is in the very good tier, just not elite.
Spotrac has you almost right on the money here: 4 yrs, $90,867,748

I have at least 5 guys that the Colts could pick and I would be happy
If we stay put at 15
Bowers, Latu, or Dallas Turner
If we trade back 3-5 spots
Brian Thomas,
If we trade back 6 -10 spots
AD Mitchell, Kinchens, Q Mitchell or Tyler Nubin
I dont want Keon Coleman
This team needs a playmaking FS more than a CB IMHO
This team needs an explosive Edge rusher more than any other position on this team
,
I think with each draft you have definitive talent groups in each round. Again we are really early in this process but I would say right now after pick 10 your next talent group is 11-25(all depending on how the picks go). To back your point there are several players to be happy with either staying at 15 or dropping down even to 25.

I like Bowers, but I think we'd take Odunze over him if he was available as well?
100% agree

Whelp did the rounds on social media and people are definitely saying this now, lots of them.
I think its a perception issue, as time passes what is happening now seems more relevant than what occurred in the past.
Dolphins fans used to HATE anyone mentioning that Manning was on pace to break Marino's passing records. On long gone message boards it was all "He will never be mentioned in the same breath as Marino!"

Well deserved.

Why the hell would you cut one of the best and most consistent RTs in the league? You can probably get a 1st or 2nd round pick for him if you make him available for trade?
If someone offered the Colts a 1st round pick for Smith, even a 2nd, they should absolutely jump on it. I'm just dont see anyone doing that.

You're funny.
Smith gets $13.6M in 24 with a $6M cap hit.
Do the math.
And we would owe him $16.75 in 2025.
He graded overall 80+, which makes him a high end RT.
He is highly tradeable. Not happening.
And I'm pretty good looking too!
I'm getting my number from Spotrac. It's showing he has $6M left in signing bonus, not seeing any other guaranteed money. I welcome any addl contract info out there.
He did grade out well last year, no disagreement there. He also missed 7 games and has missed 14 over the last 3 years. If he misses 5 games again next year at a $17M cap hit is that worth it? Trading him is possible, you'd have to have someone with need and the available cap space. Not sure about what compensation the Colts could expect either.
To be clear, I've got nothing against Smith. Just putting an idea out there for discussion. I don't believe any player on this roster is untouchable.

If the Bowers + the top 3 WRs are gone (and we're not serious about Dline) we're trading back. There's no way we're going Oline with the first pick unless it ends up being in the 2nd round. I just don't believe it and if Ballard does go Oline in the first round I'm calling for him to be tarred and feathered...
LOL I've made those calls before plenty of times before!
Trading down could be interesting. We are so, so early in this process that as much as I like Zierlein I'm not putting a lot of stock in this, but the ideal situation for a trade down for the Colts is that there is a qb at 15 that somebody wants. Z has McCarthy at 12 and Penix dropping to the 2nd, not sure if I buy either slotting yet, but that's where the gold mine would be for Indy if the trade down happens.

But we need playmakers? You can't keep drafting Olinemen...
Better find a guy in the later rounds to develop. We have Freeland, but there are a few later round guys I could see the Colts take a shot at. We're not drafting a Olineman with the 15th overall. It's not happening.
Not disagreeing about that need, I agree it is paramount. If Nabers were there at 15 absolutely, Bowers maybe(not crazy about tight ends this high) But I think about Ballard's draft style, and if the top 3 receivers and Bowers are gone, he's going offensive/defensive line.

I’m happy we don’t need a tackle. Hopefully it’ll mean a blue chip player falls to us.
This is the second mock from nfl.com I’ve seen that had Bowers fall to us. I hope it happens.
The Senior Bowl usually has some big shake ups on peoples big boards. Robinson and Wilson did really well this year along with a few others and we know Ballard favors Senior Bowl players, so maybe these guys are on his radar?
But in this scenario would you take Fashanu, move Raimann to right tackle, and cut Braden Smith? Smith has a $16M+ salary number this year, almost $20M next year. Cutting Smith saves $10M in the cap for the 2024 season.

Coming to the end of the second season for the 2022 draft class. Is it me or is this one of the weakest draft classes in recent memory? With the exception of Sauce Gardner and maybe Aiden Hutchinson not a lot of superstars out of this class. Highest QB taken was Pickett mid first round. But when you go through it seems overall was flat. Thoughts?
NFL Draft 2022 Picks by Round - ESPN https://www.espn.com/nfl/draft/rounds/_/season/2022
Too early imo to go there with it but the fact is that draft classes are determined based around the quarterback class, and this one has only had one person starter emerge(Pickett) and more than likely he's on the chopping block going forward. I liked Malik Willis athletically coming out, but he seemingly has struggled to find out how the game of football works so far.

Just watching Pacheco being so versatile as a seventh rounder makes me wish Ballard was more effective year after year
I've got a lot of issues with Ballard...but this example is a stretch imo

Title is a followed. Would Mahomes move past Peyton in the all time QB ladder if he wins the big game this year?
I think when it is all said and done he will be viewed as better, yes.

A good fit for Fields would be in Pittsburgh. Steelers always seem to win 9 or 10 games anyway. With Tomlin as Coach, Fields might make that team an 11-win team. The Bears can do a lot if they draft Williams and trade Fields simply because he will be under a rookie contract for years.
I don't want that because I hate the Steelers!

Bears do not know how to develop quarterbacks. They are finally going to get the chance to get those extra draft picks from Carolina this year so they should not be trading fields. Getsy was a terrible OC and his schemes were trash. Find a good OC that can help fields. Draft MHJ or Oline. I have a feeling their Oline will be better with better offensive schemes. Williams seems immature and not able to handle criticism. It’s a bad move.
The problem is they waited too long to do the things for Fields. Now he's going to be in his 4th year with salary ratcheting way up for these(if they select the 5th year which i dont think they will) last 2 years. I think I said it in this thread last year, Chicago is a QB graveyard and has been since Sid Luckman!
Regardless of what either of us think of Williams, he's going to be #1 overall pick. I don't think you're wrong about his personality, but it's not going to matter.
I would love to see Fields end up in Atlanta and see what he can do there.
-
Fun thing about the Bears they are going to do the EXACT same thing to Caleb Williams that they did to Fields: bring in a new head coach after this rookie year, multiple o-coordinators, let him get killed on every play, then after year 3 draft another qb!

I don't know. I just don't see Ballard using that pick on a WR. I definitely don't see him trading up. Most likely, we move back.
I think you're spot-on. Unless one of the current top receiving prospects drops to 15(like Odunze or Nabers, and there's no reason now to think they would), and his history shows he won't trade up in the 1st, there wouldn't be a receiver that fits in that slot. Daniel Jeremiah just put up his 1st mock draft and has the Colts taking Bowers at 15, that to me seems unlikely as well.
Wild speculation at this point until we get further in the process, but right now it seems like there's a large number of offensive and defensive linemen that could be available at 15(Verse, Latu, Mims, Fuaga, etc). Ballard's history says he takes one of these players at 15 or moves down.

A friend showed me those results the other day and I told him "no way." If anything the people I've sat with could use more drinks!
