What I learned is this team and in particular Richardson needs an elite TE. An elite move the chains weapon who’s very reliable for Richardson would be huge. We need Bowers. We also need a better pass defense that makes the QB hold onto the ball longer and allowing the DL to get to them. This should be a make or break year for Bradley as DC.

This is a terrific draft for WRs. No thanks. Let’s keep our draft picks and keep building up this young team.

I don’t believe so. This team already has young pass rushers who weren’t fully developed coming out of college in Paye and Dayo. Plus the production from Chop wasn’t very impressive in college. Indy needs a 3rd quality DT more than another DE.

Would love Brian Thomas Jr in the early 2nd or a trade down into the late 1st to get him. Walker could be had in round 3.

Coming from someone who lives in Nashville and catches all the Titans games we don’t want Bowen on our staff as DL coach. Titans defense was only good when Jim Schwartz was on staff.

Do we have any update on the DL coach or any other coaches I’m missing that are vacant? Wish we could have got DL coach Terrell Williams from the Titans before he went to Detroit. On a side note the Titans seem to be making good coaching hires in Callahan and Denard Williams. Hope they botch the OL coach hire.

What’s the status on Jefferson in Minnesota? I’ve heard he’s yet to be extended. Would love dealing our 1st for him.

Completely agree. I would be happy with getting McCarthy round 2 as a backup to Richardson and if he gets injured again. And if Richardson shows he could stay healthy JJ would be a very good trade asset if he shows good promise.

Glad to see them taking away from another AFC team instead of us. Now we need to snatch away Tee Martin to serve as some sort of passing game coordinator.

If Jayden Daniels were there with the 15th pick I would maybe consider it. Daniels could run Steichen's offense similar to how Hurts did. Richardson needs to show he can stay healthy before we know he's the guy longterm.

With the class of WRs in this draft, I hope we can possibly land an Odunze at 15 or trade down for extra high picks and get a WR like Brian Thomas Jr or Xavier Worthy. I’m not as high on this corner or edge rush class at the top.

I would much rather take the sure thing in Bowers, who gives Indy a bonafide playmaking TE, over another safety prospect.

Why would he leave for an OC position in Philly when he has that job here in Indy?

As much as I’d LOVE Crosby on the DL for the Colts, I still feel adding a top playmaker in the passing game or top shutdown corner is more important as Indy has some pieces already at DE.

He’s getting close to the point where he needs to step away.

Freeland only needs to be a very good swing tackle.

Bowers can do it all at TE. He can block good enough to be effective. With proper coaching he could be as good a blocker as Kittle potentially.

Richardson has shown he can be a great NFL QB if he simply stays healthy. From his and Steichen’s comments recently I would hope he will have learned that protecting himself for the betterment of the team is vitally important. I still feel if he can be better about staying on the field consistently he can go toe to toe and even get the better of Stroud as Richardson has the higher ceiling and talent. Indy now needs to surround him with playmakers in the passing game and add a legit top pass rusher to go after the opposing QB. That’s what should elevate the team into a consistent playoff squad.

I have my concerns about Woods. I feel like injured players always keep getting injured. It’s unfortunate but it’s also somewhat true. And I think Bowers is a potential superstar TE in the mold of George Kittle. Woods will never be that imo. And if Pittman is brought back which I hope he is, I feel Indy has 3 solid WRs as I expect Downs to get even better, and I believe more in Pierce when Richardson is the QB as he has a great deep ball. I wouldn’t be opposed to adding another explosive WR by any means, I just feel Bowers would help the team more than if they were to add a Rome Odunze type WR.

I would rather just hope Brock Bowers falls to them at 15 or do a slight trade up for him or Nabers.

It’ll be even louder when Indy has their starting QB playing. He creates so much explosion on offense which gets the rest of the team and fan base going.

I am very surprised not one Colts player made the All-Pro team, especially on the OL, considering they had the 3rd ranked OL only allowing 15 sacks. Hopefully next year they use this as fuel. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/tyreek-hill-christian-mccaffrey-fred-warner-unanimous-choices-for-2023-all-pro-team

He’ll likely go to NE to be their HC. As much as I’d love to see Bradley go I think from Steichen’s comments he’s staying unfortunately.

Sadly he’ll probably go round 2 and we have more pressing needs. If he’s there late round 3 then sure I’d love drafting him. I don’t think you can count on Woods until he’s proves otherwise.

Would rather just go get Brock Bowers with our 15th pick. He could certainly slide to there as TEs generally aren’t picked that high. Pitts was but that hasn’t worked out for ATL.
