    our QB does lead the league in Passing Yards....:number1:

    umm... you do know we played Thursday night and have not had our bye....

     

    Luck is 14th in yards per game. 

    Our longest pass is 42 yards and that is good for 32nd in the league.

    Average pass length is 6.1, that is 40th in the league.

     

    I would not try to argue any point by looking at league wide passing stats

    I have been avoiding this thread.  I figured with a title like that it would include at least a couple, probably a few people who have no understanding of football or how to play the game and then try to claim by not doing it their way the Colts were not playing to win but playing to not lose.

     

    But I finally broke down and read this thread.  I don't know if I should say I WAS NOT disappointed or I WAS disappointed.  I was NOT disappointed in that the thread was exactly was I thought it would be.  I was disappointed in that there are still people, who claim to be football fans, yet have no understanding at all of situational football.  I mean my word, one poster actually made the statement that the coverage doesn't matter, :realitycheck:  Come on, what kind of *ic statement is that?

    I don't know which is worse, the comments in this thread or the Bell thread.  I read through both and wanted to bash my keyboard against the computer screen.

    I’m a madden fan for the most part and it’s been disappointing the past 5-7 years at least. I am curious how TJ Green is rated the same as Malik Hooker though. I think TJ is better than many seem to but I wouldn’t say they are close in terms of talent. 

    — Matthias Farley: 80 overall

    — Clayton Geathers: 78 overall

    — T.J. Green: 78 overall

    — Malik Hooker: 78 overall

     

    that's all sorts of stupid.

    I don't think that McGlinchey lasts that long unfortunately

    I agree.  I was being hopeful that he slips to the 2nd but being the top T in the draft.... you are probably right

     

    Maybe we could get McGlinchey at 22 and take Guice at 2(4)

  5. Colts trade the 6th pick to Buf for their 2 1st round picks and a 2nd.

     

    Colts select Tremaine Edmunds 12th overall.

     

    Remaining Colts picks: 1(22), 2(4), 2(5), 2(17), 2(24)

     

    1(22) Guice RB

    2(4) McGlinchey OT

    2(5) Wynn OG

    2(17) Oliver CB

    2(24) Sutton WR

    3(3) St Brown WR

    Considering we seem to have gotten the better of the last two trades we made with them, we should probably run out of the casino before it's too late.

    I would like to think you are right.... but Jacoby hopefully won't play another regular season meaningful snap for us, and Dorsett may be a significant part of the Pats offense next year

    Even better for us if it goes, QB, Barkley, QB, Chubb, Nelson

    My hunch is the Giants are taking a QB. They are going to need a new QB within 2 years so might as well take him while you’re in the perfect draft position to do so. Then he can sit for a year.

    Maybe Giants will take a QB and then Bills will trade for #4 and take a QB so that the first 4 picks are all QBs :)

    If the rumors about Cleveland liking Josh Allen are true, then I think QB's go 1, 2, 3 with NYG taking Darnold. I think then the Jets would take Rosen but if they take Mayfield, Denver loves Rosen and would take him at 5 if he's there and nobody trades up with the Browns at 4 which the Browns sound unlikely to do at this point. That means 4 QB's in the top 5 and either Barkley or Chubb is available at #6.

     

    If the Browns take Darnold, I think Buffalo works out a deal with NYG.

    I still believe, Baker Mayfield, if available at No.5, would be John Elway's selection, IMO. We will see how it turns out.

     

    I don't remember another draft in recent years being this up in the air.  Maybe it is just because the Colts are picking early so I am paying more attention to the top 10.... but it sure seems like the top 10 could go A LOT of different ways.  April 26th is going to be a fun day

    What part of it is making it difficult for you to understand?  His value IMO...is not one that would warrant a top 10 selection...just as a round three guy may not warrant a first round selection...or a kicker in the 1st-5th rounds...etc. 

     

    I am assuming you have understood the bigger picture of us drafting at 12 rather than at 6  (Additional picks at #x,y,z)

    I would prefer Smith at 12...if Edmunds was drafted at 12 I would be happy...because either with the additional draft picks would be a more valued and glorious pick.  Just draft an ILB at 6

     

     

    no one is saying "Just draft an ILB at 6" ......  If we feel TE is our franchise ILB to lead our D for the foreseeable future then he would be a great pick at 6 (obviously better at 12 if he was there because we gained extra picks trading down.....duh).  If we do not feel he is that guy, then he would be a bad pick at 6 or 12.

    I think it's a waste to even ask for that.

     

    Because I think one or both of the Giants at 2 or the Browns at 4 would take that offer,  allowing Buffalo to leap way over the Colts to most any QB they'd want.

     

    We have to ask enough to make it worth while for the Colts ---- but not so much that that the offer is too expensive and Buffalo shops that to a higher team in the draft order.

     

    It gets a little tricky....

     

    I just think for the Colts to move down from 6 it will take a way over the top offer.   we shall see!!! cant wait!!

    You trade down to 12 and you’re missing out on a premium player. And that’s what Ballard is looking for. 

    I agree.  For the Colts to trade down to 12, Buffalo would have to offer us WAY more than moving up 6 spots usually would cost.

     

    The Colts would be giving up a sure thing elite player and be taking more of a gamble at 12, and the Bills would be moving up to get their franchise QB.  For the Colts to even start considering moving down, Buf would have to offer something like both their 1st rounders, both their 2nd rounders, and next years 1st.  maybe even more 

     

    I like the idea of a Nelson, Chubb, Barkley BUT  2 1st round, 5 2nd round, and 2 1st next year sounds intriguing

    Yeah, I remember that exchange. Zierlein probably knows that the mike linebacker in the Tampa 2 scheme is arguably the most important position and it puts huge burden on the player that has to man it up. It requires someone with great athleticism and quickness to drop into deep coverage on pass plays and at the same time someone who can discard blocks and plug holes close to the line of scrimmage on run plays. The prototype for this position in Tampa 2 is Brian Urlacher. Can you guess who Zierlein compared Edmunds to in his profile on nfl.com?

     

    IMO this is the same reason we need to keep an eye on Leighton Vander Esch, who is another one that's being compared to Urlacher. 

    One thing is for sure... for our defense to be as good as us fans want it to be, we must find our "Urlacher"
