    You know who else is infatuated with Geathers?   Some guy named Chris Ballard.   Imagine that?!

     

    And some people are willing to trust Chris Ballard’s judgement over the opinion of posters here.   Imagine that?!

     

    And some posters are more in love with their own opinion over the professional judgement of their own wildly successful General Manager.  How shocking!  (Sarcasm!)

     

    There’s no infatuation here.  I think CG is one of the most disrespected players in this forum.

     

    But, on balance,  most here trust Chris Ballard.   If Ballard wants Geathers then that’s good enough for most posters.   But apparently, not for you.

     

    Exactly. The feelings of fans should be nothing more than to rubber stamp the moves made by the team without question

    Mel Kiper's 2019 NFL Mock Draft 1.0

    I think runs on positions tend to happen though.  Ballard said it happened last year with G.  He implied that he took Smith at 37 because he didn't think Smith would still be there at 49.  49 was probably a little closer to his value according to most mock's at the time.

    Good example. From 20 to 37, 6 players were selected who would play either guard or center. I started looking around for some interesting examples, 2016 jumped out: After the Browns took Corey Coleman at 16, we then saw receivers go 21, 22, and 23! Then same draft, we had 5 linebackers go between 33 and 42(and if you extend it 33 to 53 you have 7 linebackers picked).

    Always is! The NFL never really stops and I love almost every aspect of it. 

     

    Very true, and it seems like the NFL is finally starting to get it!

     With the expansion of draft coverage, now adding ABC coverage, changing the selection format to 3 days, and finally taking it out of NYC so that other cities and fan bases can be a part....its like they realized fans are crazy about this stuff!

    I think it's funny that people who don't want to expect much from Cain are also the ones saying draft a WR.  Would not all the negatives (except coming off an injury) that apply to Cain also apply to a draft pick?

     

    I do remember last year when fans were convinced that Colts needed to draft 2 or 3 CBs because the Colts did not sign their best cornerback (Melvin) and the CBs left on the team Desir, Moore and Hairston would not make the 53 man roster of any other NFL team and Q. Wilson was a bust.

     

    Based on the information available to us fans, I would draft a WR with one of the Colts 1st three picks.  But I will not be disappointed if CB and team have a different idea.

    I don't think it's funny to want increased talent and competition at a position that most would agree is the weak point of the offense. And no, I would disagree that a receiver picked with one of our first four picks because we would then be dealing with a much higher prospect. 

     

    However, my point about Cain catching 80 passes next year is valid, because if he does come in and become the #2 receiver, there are still concerns in the receiving corps. Ryan Grant and Dontrelle Inman are unrestricted free agents. Chester Rogers is a restricted free agent. Zach Pascal and Marcus Johnson are exclusive restricted free agents. The only receivers under contract for next year are TY Hilton, Cain, Daurice Fountain, and James Wright...and only one of them caught passes in the regular season for the Colts this year.

    We may.... may ....consider trading 1 or 2 picks THIS year.... for better picks NEXT year

     

    Are there 9 spots for new rookies this year?

     

     

     

    Good point. The stat came up the other day, something like 31% of team's snaps were taken by rookies. That wouldn't be replicated next season.

     

    MC think about this scenario, let's say Colts end up at 26. Locke and Haskins are off the board. Someone(let's say Denver) needs a qb like Daniel Jones or Will Grier...could the Colts trade the 26 for a bevy of picks including multiple in 2020? Maybe kick start a process of going into a draft with 2 first rounders like the pats did for a while? 

    Where will our cap space go this offseason?!

    I know it was discussed on another thread the number of free agents we'll have at the end of this season, what about any free agents at the end of 2019 season that the team may want to start locking up now with extensions? From Sportrac, here is a screenshot of our players who's contract expire in 2020. It's not listed, but the colums are Player Name, Position, Age, Experience, Contract Terms, Average Salary, Guarantees, and Expiration:

    These are the top 10 free agent WR's(in terms of catches, I've omitted Chester Rogers) available as unrestricted free agents, and their age. Honestly, none of them excite me in any way:

     

    Adam Humphries 26 TB

    Tate Golden Tate 31 PHI

    Fitzgerald Larry Fitzgerald 36 ARI

    Beasley Cole Beasley 30 DAL

    Anderson Robby Anderson 26 NYJ

    Moncrief Donte Moncrief 26 JAC

    Funchess Devin Funchess 25 CAR

    Brown John Brown 29 BAL
