I agree it wouldn’t make sense. Although getting two first round picks would be nice. We still wouldn’t get high enough to get a edge guy.
Yeah, i could see them using #34 to sneak back into the first if someone they like falls but that's the kind of move you make during the draft, not before.

I don’t know who this is. This same thread was putting it out there the colts may have asked about a Oakland first round pick.
I don't understand what this is really trying to say but it doesn't make sense that the Colts would care about one of Oakland's first rounders. They aren't getting #4, and why would they want #24 or #27 when the Colts have 26? I'm calling it bogus.

They'll probably sign Fitzmagic.

He's a guy that I thought and hoped we'd target. Pro Bowl last year, solid all around SS and supposedly great locker room guy. With the Safety market now less expensive (Clinton Dix's one year 3.5m deal), I think we get someone in for a visit soon.

Kind of surprising. I would have thought at this stage of his career he'd hold out for a contender, not a rebuild.

Did you see the video of him visiting Carr at his house. They looked liked best buds. It was kind of odd with the bad reputation he has going around.
It's going to be real awkward if they end up drafting Kyler Murray.
-
I'll go even more under the radar and add Darius Philon or Christian Covington.
Also, there's speculation the Eagles may release Nelson Agholor. I'd be all over that.

Mack hasn't really proven he can either...to be fair. He and Mack sharing duties keep both fresh.
Yeah...admittedly I am a Shanahan fan. That SF RB group is going to be interesting to watch. Breida, McKinnon and Wilson...and now Coleman. Wilson is probably the odd man out at this point.
I'm with you on Mack being uncertain but Ballard and Reich seem pretty adamant that he can be the bell cow and Hines the receiving back. I think the Ajayi vist is mostly about the Reich connection and if healthy he adds an element that none of the other 3 guys have, short yardage power running.

If people think our safeties are injury prone, they'll love Berry. That being said, IF healthy would be an excellent guy for the locker room. I just doubt Ballard ever signs a guy for big money past the age of 30.

He wasn't going to cost near RB1 money...so why does that matter?
Funchess was completely phased out of CAR's offense last season...and the Colts paid him like a borderline WR1. So who cares if Coleman had to split carries with another RB...it's what he was going to do where ever he would have gone.
And I don't know how he's a lesser version of Mack. Coleman actually had a higher YPC...a higher YPR...more receiving yards and more all-purpose yards on less touches.
He runs better between the tackles and makes plays in the passing game. How is that not something different from what the Colts currently have? He and Mack would have been a great duo splitting 25-30 touches/game.
He's a lesser version of Mack because he proved he couldn't handle the full workload thus why he saw fewer and fewer reps as the season went on.
He and Mack are the same style one cut, speed rusher. Sure, they could have been a tandem but Coleman landed in a great spot with his former coach in Kyle Shanahan where he'll be part of a 3 man platoon with McKinnon and Breida.

I wouldn't trade up for him but would consider him at 26 depending on who else is available. He would likely have to be purely a designated pass rusher early in his career unless he can add bulk and prove he can carry it. He's essentially a more refined Turay. They have the same weaknesses and not sure the team could carry two players like that.
-
Coleman got his chance to be RB1 last year when Freeman went down and he struggled. He was even benched down the stretch last year for something called an Ito Smith. He's essentially a lesser version of Mack. If you're going to add a RB it should be one that adds something different.

That’s very false. He’s a good RB and Im
not from Indiana
He's good, yes but not starter quality. Better suited for a rotational role and he's too similar a player to Mack.

I've felt all along we needed a more solid backup to Mack. Ajayi and TJ Yeldon were two guys I thought you could get for cheap in that role.

Seems low given his perceived talent. Back to being a change of pace guy I guess.
He's a tad overrated on this board because he's an IU guy. If he went to Alcorn State nobody would be as high on him.

They had comparable stats and comparable PFF grades this year(actually higher for Funchess PFF grade) for whatever that's worth. Funchess is younger too... I don't know. I would have chosen Williams, but they are probably not that far off of eachother.
I would have chosen Williams too because he's a better deep threat but maybe Ballard and Reich view Funchess as a guy you can move around more and even play in that big slot role.
I wouldn't have shocked me if the Colts offered Williams a one year prove it deal as well considering his relatively down year.

This sounds like one of two things....
- we like Funchess better than Williams. Or don't like Williams at all... which with Sirianni and Reich having experience with him has to count for something
- we didn't want to sign a WR to a long-term deal?
Ballard also has yet to shell out a contract longer than 3 years. It may well be that we just didn't want to go to 4 years.

Well, under 45 minutes to go and it will all hit the fan again. As someone mentioned earlier, we probably won't have much going on the next day or two as far as the Colts are concerned. We'll pick up some less expensive players and I'm sure we'll be watching for names being released from other teams so they can pay the big bucks they've promised to their free agents.
Ballard will create some depth and competition and then prepare for the draft, IMO.
Right, the bulk of the Colts signings will come when they can actually get guys in the building for visits.

The return game in the NFL is pretty much dead. Touchbacks, the new return rules, and the penalties on nearly every punt return have pretty much made the fair catch the best return option. In this day in age you can't really afford to have a guy that is solely a return specialist and doesn't offer much else.

I was big on Harmon until he ran the 40.
Same! Was one of my favorites before that. He likely pushed himself to a late 2nd/early 3rd round pick.

2020 2nd rounder for Ford. Good deal for the 9ers

I don't know who that is and I could care less.
The phrase is "couldn't care less".
Doesn't the constant negativity get old even for you?

Being from MI originally I also watched a lot of Detroit Lion games and said last year on this board that the Ebron signing was a very sneaky good signing. I really liked it. Drafted him on every fantasy team I had as well last year. I could always tell in Detroit he wasn't utilized correctly and he had a certain flash to him that I liked.
Funchess I have never really seen anything. He will do Ok here. But imo he is not worth the money and certainly not worth signing over other guys. Or trading for.
You also crapped all over Ballard's draft and offseason last year. Maybe just let it play out before complaining. Like last year, it may just surprise you.

I'm willing to bet money that the Jets and Raiders don't even sniff the playoffs next year despite "winning" free agency.
