He was one of the best CB's available no matter which board you look at. I would have preferred Greedy but I'm not mad or unhappy about this pick either. Good job Ballard!
Yeah I trust Ballard, but I expected Williams before Sin

Not happy that the Jaguars just got the two best value picks in the draft. Good for them, but sucks.

Safety/DE and WR the next two picks and I'm good.

This is why I was so ticked last night. I was fine with trading out of the first. But not for what little return we got
Yeah, I would of thought we would of gotten 2 seconds and a 3rd/4th for dropping 20 spots. I guess the demand wasn't there at the time as much as it is now.
-
It seems that we are going to get more draft capital out of our #34 overall pick than the #26 pick?! That is kind of a hard pill to swallow.
-
I would accept both of their seconds in a heartbeat. However, I really like the idea of getting a 2020 first and a 2019 third/fourth if we are going to trade down as well.
Next years draft has a lot more of those "can't miss" players.

More important than people realize to have him back with Kelly's injury history.

This is honestly perfect for us. Sounds like he wanted to be able to train our players, as well as some others, outside of the time the league allows. I think Turay and Ward should have a great upcoming season.
It does make me wonder what T. Lewis is doing during the offseason.

Agreed. Just because Doyle, Ebron, and Funchess are all bigger and slower than an average (wide) receiver doesn't mean they will be stepping on each others roles. By default, Ebron will probably get less targets than he did last year because Funchess should out perform Grant and Doyle should outperform who ever played in his spot. Luck will simply have more receivers open and have more choices. But that's not the same thing as all three being the same player so only one will be resigned.
I expect him to go up in Rec & receiving yards as HOPEFULLY Ebron just catching the ball better will help a lot. I've noticed many of his dropped passes are across the middle, a pass Luck has gotten better at each year. It's going to be fun to watch next season!

Since we play 8 DL and want 10 on the roster, then NO, he can’t easily be replaced. We can easily afford his salary and since we want our DL to come in waves (Ballard’s words) then we NEED Sheard.
Cutting a player who has not underperformed is the wrong message to send to the team.
And I have to wonder where this info would come from? The Cokts don’t leak. So who would reveal this? I don’t see what an agent would have to gain? If Sheard gets cut, it will take no time to get a good offer. This doesn’t add up for me at all.
Colts D-Line for 2019:
DE:
Houston/FA/Turay/Lewis/Muhammad/ Sheard
DT: Autry/Hunt/Ward/draft pick
I fully expect us to draft a DT in the upcoming draft. That leaves us with 10 defensive lineman next year given we sign another edge rusher in FA. IF we draft a DE as well in the draft that leaves us with 11 players on the D-Line.
You also have to take into account that Sheard likely wants to start, and he very well could have limited snaps next offseason. If he stays, that's great. More depth. We'll see.

Thats highly unlikely. You extend now and you lose the fifth year option.
Yeah, I see both sides. I would expect an extension after next season.
However, Ballard does always prefer to think ahead. Either way, expect Kelley to stay with us for many more years.

You mean Kelly? Centers dont make ridiculous contracts
If Kelley performs at an All-Pro Level next year, he will likely set the market for centers, $14-$15 million a year IMO. If we could get him extended for $10-$11 mill per year now why wouldn't we??
Especially if we could start the extension after next season.

First one to call Sheard potentially getting cut. He's a respectable player, but he is being paid $8 million, and he can easily be replaced.

Sheard is not getting cut. hes our best run defender on the line imo and sets the edge really well
Look at the most recent report.

I would prefer Shane Ray to Aaron Lynch. Would be a nice signing.
I've been trying to tell people Sheard very well could be cut, especially if we sign another DE. If we add another one in the draft as well, we will have to cut somebody on the outside.

I wouldn't be surprised if they Raiders took him with their first pick.
Not a change with AB and Tyrell Williams now on the roster. Maybe with their second pick, but I imagine they go defense.

we didn't sign Ajayi or Lynch, Unless I missed something
Yeah they haven’t. I said imagine as it could potentially happen. The offseason is looking a lot better with this signing.

Imagine:
Resigned:
CB: Pierre Desir
OG: Mark Glowinski
SS: Clayton Geathers
DE: Marcus Hunt
Signed:
WR: Devin Funchess
DE: Justin Houston
RB: Jay Ajayi
OLB: Aaron Lynch
I would consider that a big success. Super stoked!

We have three on rookie contracts. Lol
Exactly. I think Ballard would prefer to use Funchess and Inman as insurance this year to see how Cain and Fountain develop this season.
Worst comes worse, we roll with TY/Funchess/Inman, and draft a top WR next year or pick one up in free agency.

I don’t think people realize that it’s a one-year deal, and he is arguably the best safety left on the market. He is still going to have to compete for that starting role with M. Farley & a draft pick.

It is funny to me that everyone gets on his injury history but not on Hookers. Hooker only played one more game then and Geathers was actually there for the colts in KC.
I think the reason being is that Hooker is a better overall player than Geathers, but I definitely see the comparison there. Geathers will be a good mentor to one of the safeties we draft this year.

Maybe Ballard has a clause in his contract that he gets to keep a percentage of the unspent salary cap. I'm just kidding, but businesses out in the corporate world do have those kinds of things.
After I accepted that there was going to be no big signing at the start of free agency this year, I really was hoping that the Colts would have dome SOMETHING the last two days. out of the bargain bin. Nope...looks like the Dollar Store again this year. Sigh!!
I know, I’ve been checking google and the fan forum every 10 minutes hoping something changes. Pure silence

well at the end of the day statistics show when those teams dont make the playoffs happens every year
I think the statistics are largely schewd. The majority of big spenders in FA that have the cap space to constantly acquire top-level talent in FA have been same for the last 10 years. It works for the teams that are in WIN NOW money. Boils down to having elite QB play

Colts draft Rock Ya-Sin, CB, Temple

Right. I don't mind the pick. I was just surprised, but if Ballard picked exactly who I want then he wouldn't be a GM right now. Excited to see what he brings to the table
