    Haven't seen any news, but I wouldn't necessarily call him good. He's extremely inconsistent. He's the kind of guy that would make a huge play, then look completely disinterested the very next. He's runs hot & cold too often for me. There was also talk that towards the end of the season, he looked like he really didn't want to be there. That doesn't work for me..

     

    I'd much prefer Kevin Minter.

     

    Who wants to be in BUF in December? But seriously, Brown would be a good piece for the defense.

     

    N.O. having trouble moving Cooks?

    They reportedly turned down the Pats 32nd overall pick.  I can't recall, but I think there was a team in the teens that offered them their first as well, maybe the Titans?  If they're having trouble moving him, it's on them, IMO.  He's not AJ Green or Julio. 

     

    Titans have the #18 pick, in addition to the #5 pick...so it was likely them. If I was the Saints, I would jump all over that.

    Who's left that you want?

    1 of Hankins/Poe/Williams

    Brown

    Kendricks (once he is cut)

    Lang (or a depth signing like Fluker)

    Claiborne (if the deal wasn't outrageous)

     

    And then I would still explore a trade for Richardson if it made sense. Though I am not sure if Ballard would agree. 

     

    So the Colts get two starting ILBs in FA, beef up the DL with an upgrade at NT (and maybe at DE)...and add a starting CB opposite Davis. And then go crazy on secondary players and pass rushers in the draft...as the draft is stocked with them.

    Everyone freaking out: RELAX

    The only thing that has surprised/disappointed me so far is not getting one of the better OL FAs at RG. But there are still a couple of decent options left.

     

    I never really wanted to sign a CB, given the cost and the strength of this draft class. I also didn't expect them to sign Jeffery.

     

    They can still get a good NT, a good ILB and a good S...which would be a very successful FA period for the defensive side. Put Williams/Poe/Hankins, Brown and Cyprien on this team next year...and you have a much improved defense.

    That's what's killing me about these guys. You knew he wasn't going to make big splashes, yet got your hopes up anyway and now you're upset...EVERY YEAR THIS HAPPENS AND EVERY YEAR HAS BEEN THE SAME APPROACH.

     

    I just thought he would address the right side of the OL. Flukey and Lang are still available.

    That's nuts. Cleveland basically getting a free 2nd round pick because there was no way they were spending $100 million in cap space. Houston now has room to go get whoever they want at QB. They aren't messing around.

     

    Wouldn't they still have to eat some serious dead cap space?

    question:  I was just over at Overthecap.com, was looking ,they have Jack Doyle's contract and our cuts/dead money updated and our current cap at 47 million and change, but I still see Pat's and Reitz's salary hits on there.  When players retire, do their salaries for that next season still count?  

     

    Only their dead money will count against the cap...like if they were cut. 

     

    I didn't see Reitz on there, but McAfee was still on there, which means the Colts have $2.55M more in cap space than OTC shows.

    I cant say that I agree with that, because if that is always the mind set, The Colts wouldn't have TY because we actually traded up to get him. Just because you have many rookies doesn't mean that you have the needed pieces to win. I'd rather have a few (4-6) guaranteed studs than to have 7 picks and getting (5-7) mediocre players.

     

    Of whom, 2-3 players wont make the team anyways. jbh. Get the Olineman ala (Cody Whitehair 2 Rd/56 ovr), than experiment players (TJ Green 2RD/57 ovr) .  

     

    As you can see, We drafted someone that's iffy/inexperienced, and could have gotten the player at the position of need.1 year later, We still need to address what we needed 1 year prior. That's what happens, You pick a mediocre player and 1 year later, You still wasting A pick to get the position you needed to begin with. 

     

    Get me the Jaime Collins OLB, Landon Collins SS, type of rookies who can start day 1. None of those bjorn Werner experimental players who may not even be on the team Week 4.

     

    The Colts traded up 5 spots from 97 to 92 to draft Hilton...for the price of a future 5th round pick.

     

    To get from 15 to 9, the Colts are looking at giving up a lot more. In last year's draft, TEN traded up from 15 to 8 to select Conklin. It cost them pick #76 as well as this year's 2nd round pick (#52).

     

    The Hilton comparison is really apples to oranges here. I can understand moving up to get your guy later in the draft, but not in the first round when this team needs an infusion of good young talent.

    I would be okay with singing Fluker if it's a one year "prove it" deal. Sometimes a change of scenery causes a player to perform better.

     

    I would rather bring in Warmack if the Colts are looking for a change of scenery guy. Kelly actually played with both Fluker and Warmack...although it was in limited duty since he was the backup C. But it would be interesting to have two Bama players next to each other on the OL.

    And I heard the Titans are moving on from his teammate from Bama who went in the same Draft, Warmack. What a disappointment they both turned out to be.

     

    Barrett Jones as well. I remember lots of Colts fans wanting to draft him...and some were talking about him as a day one pick.

     

    Since Saban showed up, nearly all "good" Bama OL players have been overdrafted and overrated...a list which includes five 1st round picks, one 2nd round pick, two 3rd round picks and two 4th round picks (since 2009).

     

    Kelly looks like he will buck the trend...but I will admit that the overall disappointment of Bama OL players was a red flag for me with Kelly. So far so good though.
