When Polian left we interviewed the person who was currently in Rayes position. I can't remember his name but we hired Grigson and he eventually left to become GM of SD. Just because he said he was going to interview him doesn't mean he is going to hire him. I like Riddick a lot and now that Pioli has been mentioned he would be a great choice too. I hope Jim is through with trying out newbies and I hope he hires an experienced GM.

It will be interesting to see who he brings in for interviews. There are a lot of former GMs working at ESPN. Riddick comes across as being very knowledgeable. Casserly knows his stuff on the NFL network. Or do we hire somebody as a first time GM again? I am leaning toward an experienced GM. Didn't we trade for Polian?

The only realistic option is Brown and Poe because they Chiefs have to pay Berry.
Ingram is gonna be Tagged.
I would consider any of the 3 CB Morris, Gilmore, Boyce.
Also we could upgrade the FS position with another FIU player Jonathan Cyprien, and let Butler walk away.This year draft is loaded at the LB position i think the wise decision would be to trade down to the 20's and get an extra 2nd, we could get Watt, Cunningham, McMillan, Davis with a pick in the 20's and get another LB or RB with the 2 seconds.
If Fournett and Cook are gone I wouldn't mind trading back into the 20's and taking McCaffrey. Especially if we wind up with Poe, Brown and one of the 3 CB's you suggest. Perry could make it to FA as well.

I hope Grigs doesn't take his bargain basement approach for the Tolers, the Robinsons, the RJFs, the Sattelles, the Thomases, the Herremans, etc. It likely won't be as easy to recruit the very good young players since we probably aren't viewed as a SB contender like we were 2 yrs ago. Some players aren't total mercenaries and want to play for winners. Who can blame them? Gore and AJ wanted to come here to win a SB.
I would think most of the players in the league still view us as SB contenders. Two 8-8 seasons aren't deal breakers IMO. Especially with Luck. But for the most part I think they are total mercenaries. The Gore and AJ types were both at the end of their careers and were looking for the ring.

I agree with both of you. I wouldn't really be happy with just one good young starter, but the odds of us winning on two or three top free agents is low. Chandler Jones, Hightower, and Jamie Collins are all gonna be locked up. Ingram is going to be waaayyy overpaid as the top dawg available st OLB. I don't see Grigson giving him 9-11 million a year. We will get two good players this year. If we get two of Berry, Ingram, Williams, Poe, Bouye, Brown, or Gilmore I will run around downtown in my underwear. I'll be amazed.
I hope it's a warm day!

Here's a curve ball for ya, what if a defender and cook are rated the same, and they're both available? Do you think griggles will roll with a skill position?
That's the $64,000 question. I have no idea. It might come down to how successful they are in FA. All I know for sure is they traded a No.1 pick for Trent Richardson in hopes of acquiring that elite back. I would imagine they will find it hard to pass on him.

Have we ever got one? I'm trying to be realistic. I want as many solid players as possible this year.
No, because we had to allow for and plan for the signings of Costanzo, Hilton and Luck. We were in a different situation than than we are now. Now we can go for young and quality and we have the money. I am expecting some real difference makers this year. And don't forget trades as well. I would easily give up a second for another young proven player versus a draft choice.

Oh yes we definitely have more than one need. 90% of them are on one side of the ball though.
Two big things happened this year
1. We had a 1000 yard rusher
2. We allowed the most yards in colts history
I think it's obvious.
But if the higher rated player is a RB it's obvious you take the RB.

I'll be happy with 1 young quality starter.
1 quality young starter? With all that cap space and your job on the line. That should get you fired. If there ever is a year to be aggressive this is that year.

If Fournette and cook are available when we pick, that means 14 teams with better defenses than us passed on them, probably to get a nice defensive prospect. So why would we, with one of the worst defenses, pick one of them? Wouldn't it be more logical to get a way greater position of need and a nice talent all at once?
We pick them because they are the best player available in a position of need. We have more than one need you know. Even if you rank a defensive need ahead of RB need you don't pass up the higher rated player. But if we do take a RB I guess we will know they were rated higher.
-
Poe or Williams, Ingram, Brown.
-
If Cook or Fournett go before we pick I can see us trading back and taking McCaffrey with our 1st. pick. Only because I think we are signing two or three defensive starters in FA.
-
Love Williams and Zeitler but Winn eh? Trading Hilton for a late 1 makes no sense to me. Hilton is a proven player and trade for a rookie, I don't think so. A trade for another proven player around the same age maybe but If you do you should be acquiring another veteran receiver somewhere. He would be a big loss to the offense.
-
Not really excited about any of them. Probably Barnett if I was forced to choose. I have to believe there will higher rated players available in other PON.
-
I would rather have Ricky Wagner if we sign a tackle. He's 27. I do like Costanzo and Clark so I would prefer a Zeitler signing to fill the RG spot.

Since it's looking like Pagano will be back it won't surprise me either. Let's just hope it works out better than when they signed Art Jones. If Williams followed the same trend of injury that Jones did, then I believe Indy is truly cursed in regards to injuries.
Just don't overpay Grigson.
Or What? It's pretty hard not to overpay when you are going after the premier players. You want older average role players again? Not me thank you.

Haven't read any of these comments. Just dropping by to say the Colts aren't drafting a rb in round 1. Okay pals carry along.
I have learned to never say never. Life surprises you everyday.

Draft is too deep in defense to trade a 2nd IMO.
In this scenario you are getting a proven defensive talent in his position at a young age in a position of need. No guarantees our second pick amounts to anything like all draft picks.

We should have a shot at Dontari Poe or Berry I can't see the Chiefs paying for them both, and they can only franchise one...We should target them hard...
Here's an idea. Trade our 2nd. for Poe and sign him. Then they get something for him. If we can't reach a deal we could always franchise him. Sign a RB with the 1st. Sign Ingram, Brown and Zeitler in FA.
-
Fournett 1st. then Cook. Either or with the 1st. pick. Add 2 or 3 Defensive starters in FA. Draft defense after we get our elite RB.

Agreed. Change for the sake of change is not a good thing. Change needs to be necessary
Agreed but when advancing technology can improve the safety of our players and cut down injuries than it becomes necessary. You don't wait for the life expectancy of the turf to expire. This is the NFL. Just do it.
-
C and I think we could get 3.

We need to do something...We always have an abnormal number of injuries and it cripples us..
I'm hoping it doesn't enter into a FA's decision on whether to come here or not. But with other teams complaining it probably would. Our luck the Chiefs are one of the teams.

What's making you think Shelton will be available? Just curious
Greg Williams is switching to a 4-3 defense from a 3-4. Shelton has been their starting NT since he was drafted and is better suited for a 3-4. He along with some other players on their roster might be in play as they look to make the change.

LT, Really? Maybe he would like a RB with the 1st. pick.
