Rif kipers 1.0 draft
MikeCurtis replied to riftastic28's topic in NFL Draft, Scouting, and Free Agent Talk
You wonder if the kid was hurt when he ran the 40 His tape makes it look like he is much faster We need a safety, maybe two -
The very young DB group needs a vet presence on the back end I hope they get the much needed FS in FA I would rather have a FA CB, but this defense MIGHT/ SHOULD ......... can run with less expensive, zone CBs Pass rush makes all DBs look MUCH better....... No pass rush makes even good DBs look poorly....... In this defense
-
The thing is, no one really knows how much we have actually pursued Sneed If we get him, GREAT If not, thats fine too IMHO, in this FA and draft season, we need to get better at FS, DE, WR, zone CB, and maybe TE There are some excellent zone CBs in this draft, if we dont get Sneed, or another FA I really think we need a vet FS (like Simmons) We need a vocal leader of the dbs......... It will be an interesting few weeks, and there will always be FAs in camp to round out holes in the roster

Colts Best 2024 Draft Prospect Fits
MikeCurtis replied to Defjamz26's topic in NFL Draft, Scouting, and Free Agent Talk
Agreed Cooper is also someone who blitzes effectively from the LB position If we can get FAs at FS, CB, I would love to pick Cooper in round 2 -
With all the charges dropped you may see time served with Ogletree. I hope he is back
-
it is in THIS defense because we run zone almost exclusively. If they do get a man to man CB then I hope we change the defense from vanilla
-
Another note...... He didnt get as much attention, but that Legend of Boom team had an AMAZING FS Earl Thomas was the 7 time pro bowl Free Safety that backed up the the CBs He was all over the place....... THATS the sort of guy that this team needs at FS to make a ZONE work
-
An additional note Richard Sherman was a ZONE CB that was one of the best ever. He was feared in the league. He was a FIFTH round draft pick He was 6' 3" with long arms, and you would expect him to run a 4.3 forty..... right ?????? NOPE..... he logged a 4.56 40 time. ZONE CB play does NOT need to be 4'3 40 Who knows what the Colts will do...... I dont But I think we keep thinking that we need a 1st round pick on a man to man CB A man to man CB (Unless we are going to start playing hybrid defenses) Is completely wasted in this defense
-
Not that it matters but I see a need for DE, WR, FS, CB In round 1 In the draft we could go Thomas WR or AD Mitchell in round 1 Both are EXACTLY what this team needs for dynamic WRs In round 2, Jonah Elliss MIGHT be the answer at DE. He was playing with a severe shoulder injury the last 4 games, and still notched a great sack and pressure total In round 3 There are several REALLY GOOD zone CBs that can fill the need Khyree Jackson (We may have to trade into late round 2 to get him) TJ Tampa (We may have to trade into round 2 to get him) I was hoping that we went FA for DE to add to the room, but not so much A vet FS would be a beautiful thing
-
I 100% agree to not take a developmental QB with early picks But 5th or 6th? Maybe
-
I may be looking at this wrong, but I always would like a QB3 with a growth path Someone like Milton has all the tools to be successful, but if gets a little better in the next 2-3 years, he may (Heaven forbid) if AR fails (Possible) he could be the guy. Or...... He will get some time on the field the next two years, and people notice, and we get 3rd round draft offers (or better) for him. Either way, in a QB starved league, having a developed talent can serve the team in many ways If after 2 years, the team is still not thinking that Sam is ready to be even a back up...... maybe time to move on
-
I understand what you are saying but the coaches see Sam in preseason and can make better judgements on him than the fans This is year 3 and if he was getting better, they probably wouldn’t have paid that much for Flacco
-
IMHO use a 5th on Milton He would be QB2 in 1-2 years
-
I would love to have Simmons older but plays at a very high level This team needs the vet FS that can mentor the room Simmons is a rah rah guy as well
-
Not that it matters, but I am in the camp of getting a difference maker at DE This team has been at the bottom in points allowed This defense as zone requires a heavy amount of pressure to be successful The Texans had their way with us, and were down 2 WRs for the game Is some of that on the DBs? Of course… We could have All Pros across the backfield and if the QB has zero pressure, someone, even a scrub WR will get open…… We didn’t land a DE so far, so we may have to go rounds 1 or 2 to get another candidate to put consistent pressure on the QB
-
YES
-
They look like the same person....... Joe Milton will need much work, but he could be our 3rd string this year and 2nd next year........ He can run almost the same offense that AR runs That time MIGHT make him a viable trade candidate later
-
I could see the benefit, but its very tough for a former starter to come in and play behind a player that is not yet as good as Fields is..... IMHO it would be too tough on both of them Fields will be starting somewhere
-
I cant remember the last time I gave anyone, before today a confused or sad face....... I do give the laugh emoji Life is too short. Some people come on here and are struggling with something, (Maybe cancer or a loss in the family) and this board might be their only outlet....... I would hate to be rough on someone that is going thru something at any point. I cant tell the hurt that they might have. Better to be positive...
-
And also the reason I responded as well I have always thought that a BETTER response verse a emoji, is a simple dialog...... "I don't really agree with that because............." THATS dialog between Colts fans I personally dont care if someone disagrees with me...... I dont know everything....... Help me to understand your point Use of an EMOJI to try to make you or anyone else look stupid is weak and pathetic........ Just state your case in a professional manner....... I will listen!
-
I agree. 1000% Sam is 2 years a 3rd string QB. His odds of being a starter…. Ever ……are not good at all I would rather have a rookie QB like Joe Milton in round 5 who has many tendencies like AR AND has the tools to be a backup to AR next year Not sure why that’s confusing or sad to you NewColtsFan
-
Agreed. We need a 2nd string QB and it’s NOT Sam E Id like a vet QB for QB2 I’d like a rookie for QB3
-
I do want to move on from Sam E This team needs a late round rookie to be 3rd qb
-
He is perfect for the Colts and can run the same offense that AR runs
