    Maybe but he will lose years or guaranteed money ... 8+ is putting him in the top 20 CBs salary (per year) ... I like him but 8+ is starting to get a little high unless it is an extremely team friendly contract.

    It's not high at all

    If Joe Haden is making 9M a year for average play, Melvin will match that

    Peak of the defense this season

    We held:  

    Gurley to 19 for 41

    Crowell to 12 for 44

    Hyde to 8 for 11

    Murray to 12 for 40

    Mixon to 11 for 18

    Murray to 12 for 9

    Fournette to 20 for 57

     

    Pretty good if you ask me. only 3 RBs really got the best of us this year imo

    We would definately be better under your scenario, but I agree the O-line needs more help.  I think Mewhort is done, and Norwell has little chance to hit FA.  Also, Okorofor from Western Michigan hs a reputation for being one of the softest linemen in the draft.  He would easily be available in the 4th, but there would be better OT availabe at that point.

     

    It would be huge if one of the DE like Lawrence hit FA.  Again, not likely, but if they do, throw the money at them.  I also like Joyner and Preston Brown.  I'm a huge OL guy, and ours is a mess, but the defense in the playoffs has opened my eyes.  Draft D the first two rounds, get best available OL in rounds 3 and 4.  At three there could be ridiculously good OG - Hernandez and Teuhema.

    I'd draft Roquan Smith at #3 and a rush guy like Rashaan Evans in round 2.  Then I'd get Maea Teuhema at 3, and Quentin Spain OT in round 4.

     

    1.  Roquon Smith

    2.  Rashaan Evans

    3.  Maea Teuhema, Hernandez, or Isaiah Wynn

    4.  Quenton Spain OT or Jamarco Jones.

    Panthers have 15m in cap space

    Very likely Norwell hits he market

    Eifert is constantly hurt. No thanks. Colts already have enough people on IR

     

    Melvin balled out this year. He could fill that #1 spot. Wilson and Desir as #2 and quality backup.

    I'm not opposed to getting another CB, but O-Line (RT and Guard), ILB, and OLB still needs addressed. 

    Melvin isn't someone you build your secondary around

    Are you Daft? Do you even watch Football? Mewhort out all season and he missed significant time previous year. Love the guy but he likely is physically done with recurring knee issues.we don’t yet have Norwell or rookie Okorfor. Franchise QB out entire season, he has missed other season due to lacerated kidney. Jacoby repeatedly sacked this year. What is our offensive line ranked this year or last year?  Good God man 

    We're not gonna be pulling All-Pro or Pro Bowl caliber lineman out of our *

    Quit acting all high and mighty. You might be the daft one here. 

     

    Defense wins ball games. Can't keep wasting picks on players who aren't gonna work out. More than one need on this team, you don't spend 85 million on OL and 7 picks on them just so you can have 5 solid starters and 5 great backups.

    Jacoby holds onto the ball way too long anyways.

    Crap. I don’t understand how anyone who has watched Colts formpast 4 years can not grasp that offensive line and protecting the quarterback paramount.  One free agent and one rookie draft pick?  A running back when your franchise quarterback and his backup get smashed and pummeled every Sunday?  

     

    You coukd have Walter Payton and Barry Sanders but behind this line they will look average. This is a QB driven league and Colts can not keep their QB upright.

     

    Common Sense is lost with Joe Fan 

    You realize we have Castonzo/Mewhort/Kelly/Norwell/Okorafor on the OL?

    If that's not formidable enough for you, you're looking for too much

    Attempt #2.

    Players re-signed/signed/drafted in bold if you don't want to read all of it.

     

     

    Coaches:

    HC: Josh McDaniels

    OC: John DeFilippo

    DC: Kris Richard 

    ST: Dave Toub (Just for fun, might as well throw his name in here)

     

    Projected Cap Space: 85 million

     

    Re-Signees:

    Barkevious Mingo 2 years 4 million - 

    Rashaan Melvin 2 years 17 million - Had a great year, but he's not the guy to build a secondary around. Love to have him for 2 more years though.

    Adam Vinatieri 2 years 4.5 million - Still one of the best, if not the best in the league

    Jack Mewhort 1 year 3.5 million - A prove it year, if he stays healthy and plays well, he can expect a big payraise in 2019

    Pierre Desir 2 years 3.5 million - Solid, but not spectacular, had a few ups, great depth for us at CB

    Mike Person 1 year 860k - Had a few great games for a backup

     

    We should have around 74 million after re-signings.

    That's a lot of cash to be thrown at some big names in free agency.

     

    Free Agency 2018:

    (Assuming these players don't get tagged, or re-sign with their team)

     

    Kirk Cousins QB 6 years 90m

    Just kidding. Moving along.

     

    Paul Richardson WR 2 years for 18m

    Jarvis Landry WR 3 years 50m

    I think Jarvis is most likely to get tagged, but adding these 2 would solidify our WR corps and we wouldn't have to worry about it in the draft.

    Richardson is severely underrated and a great target for Luck, and Hilton alongside Landry would have defenses worried about being burned by either one.

     

    Cameron Brate TE 2 years 9m

    We seem to like to run 2 TE sets a lot, ala Fleener/Allen

    Adding him could recreate that, good player behind Doyle

     

    Andrew Norwell OG 5 years 60m

    Pay big bucks to get a big star at G. Norwell is fantastic.

     

    DeMarcus Lawrence DE 3 years 40m

    Bring on the Barkley/Luck backfield. Signing him allows us to get a great pass rusher, while also letting us draft Barkley at 3 instead of Chubb.

     

    Lamarcus Joyner DB 1 year 8m

    Had a solid season, can help the secondary

     

    Preston Brown ILB 3 years 24m

    Very underrated LB, hopefully we can snatch him to improve at one of our most glaring needs

     

    After this, our cap space would be around 20m (may be wrong)

     

     

    2018 Draft:

    R1. Saquon Barkley RB Penn State

    I think this is the obvious pick for us anyways but:

    Barkley is explosive, draws comparisons to Adrian Peterson and David Johnson.

    Will take a lot of off Luck's shoulder and opposing defenses will know that we won't be a pass every down team w/Luck anymore

    R2. Chukwuma Okorafor OT Western Michigan

    Solidifies our OL, can plug at RT

    R3. Marcus Davenport DE UTSA 

    He's gonna climb boards come the combine, round 3 may be too late for him, but this kid can play

    R4. Christian Miller LB Alabama

    R5. Olasunkanmi Adeniyi DE Toledo

    R6. Mike Hughes CB UCF

    R7. BPA

    Trading Luck makes the overall team better.

    No it certainly doesn't make this team better.

    Without Andrew we're what we were this year, every year.

    There are no Andrew Luck's in the draft. There's none in FA, and there's not gonna be someone like him for a while.

    He makes this team run. Trading away the cornerstone of the franchise is an awful move and unless you want losing seasons for a few years, you keep him

    desir isnt starting. wilson is. and while doyle is reliable, we have not depth behind him and we can do better.

    Tyler Eifert slides in nicely 

     

    And you're going off of a lot of potential here. Wilson imo is a #2 corner, Hairston in the slot, Hooker at FS. We're lacking a stud #1 CB still

    Bring Mewhort back on a cheap 1year deal to play RT. Re-Sign Melvin.

     

    Andrew Norwell OG

    Josh Kline OG

    Allen Robinson WR

    Paul Richardson WR

    Avery Williamson ILB

    Malcolm Butler CB

    Jerry Attaochu (Cheap, could be a big time steal, depth)

     

    Chubb RD1, Star ILB RD2, Stud RB in RD3 and we're set for the most part. Maybe hit big on a 4th or 5th rounder. We just gotta hit big time in the first 3 IMO, meaning 3 stating, star caliber impact players.

     

    We got the cap room to turn things around over night with a healthy 12 coming back, and an actual coaching staff. We get a superstar caliber G with Norwell, another very good G in Kline. Mewhort would probably be better at RT and shouldn't cost much for 1 year. We'd without a doubt have a top 3 OL if not the best. Robinson gives us a major complement to TY. Robinson IMO is a number 1 type WR. Richardson as the number 3 would be unstoppable. Hilson, Robinson and Richardson at WR. Doyle, Travis, Swoope at TE. Mack and a rookie at RB. Then finally a 100% healthy and confident Andrew Luck throwing them the ball, with a beast OL protecting him, and an actual run game and Its on. Then on D we get a shut down CB, and a very, very good all around ILB. If we hit big with our first 3 picks we'll have 3 rookie starters. And I'm talking like Kahlil Mack, Jordan Hicks, Kareem Hunt, type rookie year impact. (Going by RD lol)  We're solid on he DL. Williamson paired with a star rookie, sideline to sideline ILB and we're set for years. Chubb, Simon, Sheard, Attaochu, and Basham who should be much improved gives us a mean pass rush. Hooker and Fraley at S with Geathers as the 3rd S, and dime ILB. Should get snaps everywhere. Butler and Melvin shutting down WR's, with the help of a really good pass rush, then Wilson and Hairston IMO will be much improved in their 2nd seasons, and IMO both will be good to very good corners. They'll be fighting for the nickel spot.  

     

     

    Butler is overrated
