Completely agree. I would bet Ballard has a deal in place with Chicago if Chubb is gone by #6 for an extra 2nd rounder or so. The Bears would probably move up for Nelson while we take Roquan Smith.
Chicago doesn't have many picks to trade to go along with their 8th. They have the 39th, but I doubt they will give that up to go to 6. If they would, I hope CB will take it, whether Chubb is available or not..

Good question. If you mean how many ever start, I'd say at least 150.
-
Nelson is too good to pass on!
-
I wouldn’t complain too much about it.
-
What would be Buffalo's motivation in giving up so many picks? Who are they trying to get ahead of that makes such a trade necessary?
I've haven't seen many mocks that show a QB selected by TB, CHI, SF, OAK or MIA.

We will just see if his plan works or he falls flat on his face.
We won't know for a couple years. In the meantime, I'm completely on board with building through the draft and rolling over financial resources for free agents for a year. We aren't ready to threaten for the AFC championship this coming year, anyway.
My only hope and expectation is that we add at least one or two top notch offensive linemen to protect Luck throughout this process.

Anybody else notice that we are the Second youngest team on that list behind only the browns?
Third. Cowboys are second.

Well hopefully Ballard will spend it all and spend it wisely. I think we all understand that long term the draft is the answer but in the meantime there is no reason to sit on piles of cash when that cash can help put a competitive team on the field. If his goal is a couple more 4-12 seasons to ensure a high first round draft pick, I think he may find his job in jeopardy in a year or two.
Unless Irsay is on board with a longer term plan. I'm guessing we will see a draft that builds up the trenches and protects Luck, and we just coast through this year while Luck is rusty, and spend more heavily on free agents next year, to coincide with the young players having more experience.
In any case, there probably is almost no way to go 4-12 with Luck as QB.

Colts number one losers on that list.
Those numbers are totally meaningless.

Stupid post, based on nothing but irrationality.

Gus, stick to what you know best, methamphetamine.

Browns WILL 1000% take Barkley at 1?? Nope. You're off by more than an order of magnitude.
I'd say maybe 40% chance. Reason is that QB is so key to a team's success, that they are unlikely to gamble that their 3rd choice in QB is good enough, in the likely event that QBs go at 2 and 3, if the Browns take Barkley at 1.

Venturi is great after the fact on the Radio
Venturi was not a good HC
Neither was McDaniels. Gotta get someone, at least for a year, and Venturi knows football like no other coach that I have listened to. Look at who we've had. Caldwell, Pagano. Both horrible at even discussing the game or strategy.
Venturi knows the Colts players' strengths and weaknesses very well. Not only is he great after the fact, as you say, but he always comes up with a game plan in advance, based on the next opponents strengths and weaknesses. Not sure Pagano could.
-
So was McDaniels.
Difference is that Venturi has had many years to learn since then.

uh are you serious?
Very. Assuming he would take the job, at least for a year. He has more experience than anyone else being considered, and he worked for Belichick. He loves and knows the Colts.

Good. Bring on Rick Venturi!!

A few Colts fans might consider Peyton to be the GOAT.
A few Saints fans will say Brees.
A few Steelers fans will say Roethlisberger.
Everyone else in the world will go with Brady.

Rambling.

Add in a WR like Allen Robinson or Martavious Bryant we are instantly the most dangerous offense in NFL....Barkley is the Best football player in the draft since Andrew Luck regardless of position...I have a feeling Browns take him 1st sadly...They can still get QB at 4..
I believe the Browns will take him also. In that case, our pick at 3 becomes more valuable in a trade to any team looking for a QB.

The Giants didn't take a dive and I'm glad that we didn't, either.

Venturi has a lot to say about Ron on the Dakich show today.
goodnight another reach...all the promise of the 2nd round...

He'll never be happy. No matter who we picked, he'd be complaining.
