So you see them as the best players available for us, for a reasonable price of course? Interesting.
No where did I say they are the best players for us. I said they are cheap options though. Nice try!!
-
If we could get this draft I would be very pleased. Good mock!

I would pick both of them up. You can probably get Hyde for cheap and he is still good. Jackson you can get for a better price than what he was getting. Still a decent talent for a 3 or 5 tech maybe.

Neither have lived up to the massive contracts they got. Giants are in dyer need for some quality o-line though. Zeitler and Hernandez could be a very good duo in the interior.

They are cutting him. Would you go after him?

Without commenting at all on the decisions you made this issue jumped out at me....
As you start the free agency portion of your forecast you list the Colts with roughly 92 mill. By your work I think that’s correct. But I then do the math and add up that you spend $41 million in FA. So the Colts should have $51 mill left.
But you show us with only having $31 mill left. You’re math error has cost the Colts $20 mill. Perhaps you had us signing someone else and then deleted that without changing the math? Did I miss another $20 mill signing?
As for everything else... I’m not touching it with a 10 foot pole! But I appreciate the effort.
He mentioned front loading the contract for Lawerence and going with 40 mil first year.

He seems like the opposite of what character we want in the locker room. He is skilled but he can go somewhere else and screw their locker room up.

Walker is okay but there's a big opportunity to upgrade.
Like I said if you upgrade get someone who stays on the field. Not a fan of spending on FA’s who are often injured.
I believe Ballard likes the duo and won’t look much at this group. Just me though.

Would not even entertain this if I were Ballard. Steelers won’t let him walk for less than the Amari Cooper trade value. No thanks!
-
No thanks! He has had a few injuries and I doubt Ballard looks to give him a lot of money since he has missed some time. Plus Ballard likes how we are set with Leonard and the WLB and Walker at MLB. Keon is not a SAM so I just don’t see why you spend the money and resources on him. If you replace Walker with a better player go with someone who stays on the field.
-
Where as some teams might not even look at him I would not go as far as saying he is a troubled player. He was in high school and owned up to everything immediately. He has also shown nothing else is relation to off the field issues while in college. I would say teams will see this and be able to put it behind them.

I think if Giants were going to let him walk, they would have traded him before the deadline. At least that way they get something for him. I bet they franchise him
They will get a comp pick for him. So they will still get something if he leaves I believe.

To be fair Gruden probably didn't think someone would offer him a 1st for Cooper.
My car is not for sale but if you gave me $50,000 right now you could have it.
I completely agree as far as Cooper.
-
Gruden said he wouldn't trade him but supposedly he said the same about Cooper. They are big on waiting for top offers so they might only look for a 2nd or maybe early 3rd, who knows though. I would not mind going after him though.

Permit me to clarify for those who need it (you). The Colts will lose. Get it? By chance, have you ever met a person that has not played chess? Your online degree from the University of Phoenix does not elevated you above anyone. Heartbreaking isn't it?
My apologies if my words were quick to upset you. I am happy that you attempted to clarify but based on your original comment you still came up a little short...might be a common theme for you. I will just end this conversation because again I am not here to ruffle your feathers. Continue with you aggressive online talk though big guy!
P.S. I congratulate any person who graduated from any school!

We really don't have anymore injuries than any other team. Mack and AC are just injury prone. Look at how many key injuries Philly has. Wentz probably won't even be in game playing shape because he hasn't played in nearly a year.
AC is the opposite of injury prone.

I would not get caught up in this. Players talk and that is all it is...talk.

point is that both teams had WR talent.
i think luck and stafford are pretty close and the only stat largely in lucks favor is wins. obviously wins are important but i do think luck has had a better team and easier division.
In the same time period Luck had a better team yea i can agree with that. Division wise yea I mean 2012 the Vikes, Bears, and Pack were good. Not to much after that except for the Packers. But Jags were really bad.

it was more like 2 and half years and we have not won more than 8 games since he left. Reggie had 40 first downs in 2014
Ok we like stats...Reggie's 3 years with Luck
106rec and 1,355 yads 5TD's, 38 and 503 yards 2 TD's, 64 rec and 779 yards 2TD's
Calvin's first 3 years with Stafford
67 rec 984yards 5TD's, 77rec 1,120yds 12TD's, 96rec 1,681yds 16TD's
Both QB's first 3 years with a key WR. You point Wayne vs Calvin...

i do think luck benefited from playing in the south during those 11-5 years
stafford was on a horrible lions team with a bad defense and worse running game than the colts. the packers were clearly better, and the vikings were more rounded too. he did have Cj, but luck had reggie and ty
He had Reggie for a year. I like TY but no comparison between him and Calvin. He had Calvin for quit a few years as well.

no reason to hold that against MS. luck got to play in a weak division his first three years, that probably helped his record somewhat
I don't hold that against anyone...it is a fact. Plain and simple.
Outside of Aaron and the Packers...Stafford's early years (since that is what everyone is comparing) the Vikings - not that solid, Bears - not that solid. But wait you can't hold the conference against Luck right?

Give the date which you sat and watched a chess game.
What is the logic you ask? Well, winning last week means nothing. Repeat, nothing.
I play chess and then hints watch the game at the same time....crazy I know. I am assuming you avoid a thinking mans game.
3 hours ago, King Colt said:Colts are not going to win this game. Remember it is week 3.
Let me refresh you on YOUR comment. You say we are not going to win because what? And then mention it is week 3? Again the relevance is what?

I agree with the comparison of the QBs. I think their careers and situations are similar, except Stafford was nicked up during his early years. Both have been a bit more careless with the ball than what you want from a high draft choice, with Stafford being more careless, IMO.
I mean having Calvin Johnson is pretty nice. Just saying!

Its because nobody knew about him at the time. They hated the signing of a no-name corner right after being sold the concept of "building the monster" with ChuckStrong's resume of being the ex Raven DC
...and then ...What? Who's this guy?
They hated him before he even got on the field, because he wasn't good enough for most people the moment he was signed.
He was the #2 corner and played well enough in that role until he got too injured. And yes, he lasted too long here after that.
No, he was not liked because he was hurt in AZ before he was signed here. Gave a bad contract and guess what...was hurt here as well. He was exploited multiple times but he did have a few good plays sprinkled in there. Saying over all he was good for us is just not true. VD was a great pickup and did well when healthy for us. Bethea was good and Butler was very good for us. Now claiming Landry was good in the beginning is just not true either. His best day as a Colt was signing a contract. After that he was suspect on the field and that was only a few games since he was always injured or suspended.
WarGhost 2019 NFL Mock Free Agency
in NFL Draft, Scouting, and Free Agent Talk

I think it’s funny that posters keep saying oh next year Ballard will come out swinging. Ballard himself has said the opposite but yet people just won’t believe him. Here goes another free agency period and we will again be a team that waits for the initial stupid contracts to go through and deal with talented players that fit us and make since for us. His approach has been solid. We will yet again get some guys people will not like and mid way through the season start talking about how they love them.
