I sure wish this thread could get back on topic.... started out pretty interesting.

I wish people would quit bashing Jimmy. All he’s done since taking over this team is win. All billionaires are eccentric, but Jim is an interesting eccentric at least. Gotta love a guy with a guitar collection like his.
-
If this game draws a big audience and turns out to be a spectacular show..... it could be.

I remember how charged this state was when Chuck was diagnosed and the team was winning for him. The way the community rallied around him. Was a special time I will remember fondly. I sincerely wish Chuck the best and hope he does great..... except against the SHOE!

And don’t forget Peyton Manning lead a Colts team that overcame a 18 point deficit in the playoffs, granted it was only 15 at halftime but it’s still the largest comeback in a conference championship game I believe.
Who could forget that my friend... who indeed.

Does this mean we draft another O lineman high in the 19 draft? I think we should considering the injury bug we’ve had at that position. If CB’s high on one of these tackles I hope he pulls the trigger. AC ain’t getting any younger.

Our defense is feeling the effects of Chris churning the roster from aging players to “good” players with aforementioned football IQ and locker room presence.
With great coaching this can win games but when an offense with great players have a great game... that gap is higher than our good players having a great game. Our floor is a little lower than our ceiling is high at the moment imo. We have arguably one “Great” player on defense right now, we just need a couple more. I still love the effort of these guys.

I'm on the other end of the spectrum and a little nervous about
him being replaced with anyone on the team. On a positive note
I wouldn't mind Ballard doubling down in the draft with our first
two picks going towards linemen. Two D linemen or one D lineman
and an O lineman.
I have become a fanatic about controlling the trenches of late.
Same here dude. I love watching our new trench guys being dominant physically.... been waiting a long time for it.

With the Colts picking most likely in the 20s of 1st Rd, I seriously doubt, swapping 1st and including JB in that trade would get the Colts to far up in the 1st.
However, like HoosierHawk said, there are several players I’d move up to get for JB, but don’t see that kinda value in JB.
Unfortunately I agree... however WITH JB we might be able to sweeten the pot with a mid round pick rather than a day one pick. If CB sees A perfect fit with one of these guys.
-
I would hate to lose JB. But if there was a chance on draft day to use him to trade up for one of the blue chip DL’s or CB’s.... I probably take it.

My best guess, and Im no expert, but somewhere between nr 32 and 1 ;)
I would believe that teams like:
The Rams, Pats, Chiefs, Steelers, Texans, Chargers, Bears and Saints will be ranked higher than the colts, but after those teams, it's a mess rank wise.
We would be mentioned together with teams like the Cowboys, Ravens, Browns, Green Bay and Seahawks, but how high or low we would be ranked, all depends on our draft and off season signings.
Remember, The Colts are a very young team and we still have a lot of roster holes to fill, before we can be mentioned as top contenders for a super bowl.
Should we sign Bell a top WR and another big freeagent to our defence, then we might crack the top 10 ranking before next season.
We’re in the top 10 power rankings right now m8.

Don’t sleep on Anthony Lynn of the Chargers winning coach of the year. That 2 point conversion to win the game was HUGE. It garnered a lot of attention. I can see Lynn or Nagy 1 or 2 depending on how the Chargers finish & Frank probably 3rd.
Ballard should have the GM award sowed up. The Bears GM should be 2nd.
I’d say that’s accurate. Chris did some major churning of the roster not to mention the draft. If all things are considered... youth, new and first time in position staff, and early injuries... I think they both get plenty of votes with Chris winning and Frank getting a nice honorable mention. Chicago’s staff did a great job too and deserves a tip of the hat.

No Kelly is shocking as well....
Yeah this one sucks for sure. He’s been playing all pro but it’s probably the few games he missed.

(why do people keep paying attention to the likes of Steven A., Cowherd, Skip? This is precisely why they express outrageous takes... because it attracts attention and outrage and creates clicks... STOP FEEDING THOSE GLORIFIED TROLLS!)
Hey.... I like Cowherd. He’s a Colts fan. Says nice things about CB as well.

I would say it's mostly coincidences and confirmation bias.
The current Steelers I actually tend to think of as an offensive team. All their big stars seem to be on offense.
Yep. Bad decisions in FA and the draft will change your identity quick, fast and in a hurry as well.

The kids will benefit from winning. This team hasn't had a winning record for a couple of years now and Reich has said he plays the game to win. He clearly wants a winner mentality for this club. If Ballard is as good as we all think he is then he's going to find the necessary players to get this team to the next level regardless of where he picks. I voted for 7th seed.
I agree with you big time. A young team needs wins for confidence in the fact that they are being coached up right and the front office/ scouting department is more than competent. Winning builds confidence across the whole organization and with CB and our scouts hitting home runs...I’ll take the 7th seed.

I would say that would certainly help, but lack of national media coverage is working against him. Brees is the darling of the media this year. So, it will be tough to overcome that.
Nail on the head. MVP isn’t most valuable player... it’s best player on the best team.
-
Good indication of the kind of kids Chris wants on this team. I think his vision of the locker room culture took a giant step with the 2018 draft and free agent class.

See , I think people are looking at this wrong.
1) The rule changes have made it easier for lesser talents to become productive more than ever. It used to be that you needed an elite skill position player to get elite production , but now , similar to the QB position , marginal talents can be productive.
2) Skill position players are the easiest to acquire later in the draft and in FA/trades. Everyone is in love with KC right now , but if you actually look at their skill position players , it shows this :
RB- Kareem Hunt 3rd round
RB- Spencer Ware Free Agent
RB-Damien Williams Free Agent
TE- Travis Kelce 3rd round
WR- Tyreek Hill 5th round
WR- Sammy Watkins Free Agent
WR- Chris Conley 4th round
WR- Demarcus Robinson 5th round
And this is the franchise Ballard is coming from. It's clear their ethos is to spend high draft capital in the positions hardest to fill . ie: impact defenders/big men.
It's much harder to find/acquire impact players in the trenches. Big men that can play are becoming unicorns. Every draft is deep with skill positions. Every draft. And every year you can acquire skill position upgrades in FA or via trade. Look at the past trade deadline if you want some recent examples.
3) We have the 4th highest scoring offense in the league right now. That's right , with the nobodies and dudes Ballard found off the street , we have an offense that's borderline elite. What does that tell you? Think about it.
4) Outside of QB play , rushing the passer is clearly the most important facet of the game now. It's not even close. Coverage sacks are becoming extinct , and if you can't create interior disruption , your defense is dead. The truly rare players -the ones hardest to get-- are impact DL. And you're telling me in a historically strong DL class , we should be taking a receiver? Why?
Yes, we should definitely upgrade our receivers, but no, it doesn't require us to use our 1st. Not at all.I agree with every bit of this. If they like Cains’ recovery and what they’re seeing from Fountain at the end of the year... I think people will be shocked to see CB not take a receiver at all. I’m old school .... build those trenches! Nice prospects at tackle as well.
ps. Maybe a cb and ss.

If Chris can nail another couple of drafts and pick up some median grade FA’s as better depth... I’d sure like to keep JB. If we are looking at 2020 as our potential run, then JB can certainly get us a game or two to get there if Andy gets dinged.
