I called this in the bold predictions thread yesterday. Said we'd get him at 4.

Here is the most important question of all...IF this were to happen, would he be allowed to wear #18? Should he be allowed to wear #18?
I say let him...I bet Peyton would say the same.

He's a poet, and he didn't even know he was rhyming those words.
Hopefully someone will get the reference lol

Well…. If you see Murphy as a 3T and are not concerned about all the other players who can play there, you’re fine then with Murphy only playing roughly 25 percent of the snaps for perhaps 2-3 years? You’re ok with that for a first round pick? Because I thought Ballard went out of his way to say Buckner was a physical freak of nature who might be able to play much longer than one might normally expect.
Curious to your thoughts here.
I don't think the number of players who can play 3T is as important as how many of them can play it better than Murphy could? Mind you, I haven't watched much of Murphy so I'm basing this on what I've heard and read, but I'm assuming if the Colts picked him at 15 then they agree with at least most of the scouting reports.

Some vague comments from Ballard in his end of season presser about mixing in coverages. So, not really.
yeah pretty much what I figured. If they are going to start mixing up coverages and running more man coverage, then sure grab a CB in the first. If they're going to continue being a mostly zone team regardless, then no, no round 1 CB.

Our star 3Tech that this team needs to function is now 30.
When does age catch up with him?It wouldn’t surprise me at all if we go DT with our first round pick
My first choice is DE , CB, or WR, but Newton or Murphy are tough to push around and bring pressure between the tackles
There are games where they took over
Imagine Buckner next to Murphy for the next couple of years on passing downs. Honestly I think he'd have more of an immediate impact than an edge rusher would.

You might want to prepare yourself for DT... I'm not saying it's going to happen, but it could very well be a possibility tonight that we take Murphy if he's there...
And I wouldn't be upset at that at all.

I understand having more weapons on offense is always good but in reality would we drafting for our 4th wr? because 1-3 is basically set and indy has bigger needs on defense
The only WR spot I'd consider "basically set" is #1 with Pittman, and that's only for this coming year because there are a few WRs in this draft that have a higher upside than Pittman that could challenge for the #1 spot.

In my 2024 draft, I was able to get Rome Odunze and Byron Murphy in the 1st round and later in the draft I still got Xavier Legette and Cam Hart. if Ballard can't do the same he's a complete failure.

Absolutely driven by agents. That is the one trade up I could live with. This team needs a legit man corner to make this D more diverse. I still say based on Ballard's comments, he is going to stock the D for Gus and give him a chance.
Honest question, have we gotten any indication that they want to make the defensive playcalling more diverse? In terms of incorporating more man coverage, that is.

There's a ton of conjecture here based on a guy that has shown no positional bias and whose last 1st round pick as part of the Chiefs was a corner
What scheme was that corner drafted to play in?

That's easy.
AR would become a backup.
Is this a trick question?
This is highly unlikely

Paye was not drafted to be the LDE
Again, you know this how? We needed long term solutions at both DE spots. Perhaps they drafted him hoping they could improve his pass rush and make him the long term RDE while also knowing that if they couldn't, they'd still have a long term solution at LDE.

Doyle was serviceable but not quite a Clark.
I was commenting on your remark.
Nobody said Doyle was a Clark. But he was definitely a decent (or better), consistent TE, which was what you originally said.

It’s not up to you to dictate how I respond to you. If I wanted to PM you I would have.
You are correct. What I should have said was, PM if you wanted to continue the discussion. My intention was to provide an alternate path to continue the conversation, not to dictate anything to you. That was my bad.

Yeah that’s not true. I gave you the very reasons why this didn’t happen you just choose to deflect them with crazy conspiracy theories that are laughable just like a flat earther does when confronted with facts.
When Polian was in charge nothing happened with the Colts without him knowing it and approving it. This has been well documented over the years. So no Irsay didn’t just go around him to do it because at some Polian would have gone what’s going on here get Painter out of there Caldwell and when it didn’t happen gone ballistic and probably fired Caldwell or resigned when Irsay wouldnt let him.
So that means Polian would have had to be in on it. Why would he be in on something that resulted in him and his son, who was trying to set up to be a GM in his own right, their jobs? If he wanted out he would have just quit. So this idea that he came up with some back room deal with Irsay is just as laughable.
There was also a report that part of what lead to Polian’s firing was Polian was in the trade the top pick to get more picks and players to around Peyton. Doesn’t sound like a guy who was in on it.
From there there is zero reason to pull Painter before you had the top pick locked up and put the top pick at jeopardy by winning a couple of games before the top pick was locked up.
You also have to get the players to buy in. The coaches can do whatever they want but the players aren’t going to go for tanking because they are going to lose jobs which is what happened. They tried to do the best they could, they just weren’t very good without Peyton.
Also if Irsay was this true level of mastermind why wouldn’t he have repeated it after Luck retired to get one of the elite QBs who went number one overall since then?
I said...PM me if you want to continue. Quick question though (rhetorical of course) am I ignoring facts or deflecting them with laughable conspiracy theories? can't be both now can it?
Honestly though, you seem to be the only one who really got their panties in a twist over this. Is it because someone dared suggest Irsay might have done something a tiny bit shady? who knows. again though. Done here. Literally the last time I'm saying it.

Again, think what you want you are entitled to any opinion you want to have but just like you said flat earthers are proof opinions can be wrong and you are very much being a flat earther on this subject which is bit surprising because you honestly have good opinions about most things.
again, we're done here. You are also entitled to your opinion. But you've provided nothing other than "no you're wrong that never happened"
I've ignored facts? I asked you what I've ignored. I have responded to every post that responded to me.
I could literally say the same thing about you because, unlike others who have provided some discussion and specific questions, all you've done is this:
I will not respond to you again on this topic. Feel free to PM if you'd like.

The ones that have been stated over and over in this thread in response to you, throwing out laughable conspiracy theories to try to get around them is ignoring them. It’s exactly what flat earthers do when you present them with facts that show the earth isn’t flat.
Negative champ.
but also, ugh..forget I asked that. PM if you want to respond, but I've ignored nothing. I've addressed every point where possible and clearly admitted points that could not be refuted. Several others have discussed this with at least some level of intelligence. All you've done is compare me to a flat earther, say I'm ignoring facts and denying truth and of course your original dismissive comment about your moon real estate. You can be as dismissive of the possibility as you want, and it might dampen your opinion of Irsay but it really isn't that outlandish of an idea.

Just now, GoColts8818 said:
It is just as crazy because you are ignoring facts so yeah you are denying truth for a crazy conspiracy just like a flat earther.
what facts exactly have I ignored?

you are entitled to your opinion but flat earthers prove opinions can be wrong.
say that again, but in the mirror
we are very much done here though. If you think that what I've suggested is in the same category as flat earthers then so be it. I would vehemently disagree that they're even close to the same thing. Really want to say more but not going to.
Enjoy your weekend

Or some are overexaggerating the influence of a HC?
like who? I don't recall anyone saying that any HC was dictating (you used that word) anything to Ballard.

Colts have the 15th pick in the draft. (MERGE)
in Colts Football
Posted
yes, I'm aware. that's why I asked
It wouldn't be the first time a number was unretired. I believe the Broncos had #18 retired when Peyton signed there but it was unretired for Peyton.
Personally I think the number should just be retired for other QBs. No other colts QB would wear 18 but if a WR wanted to, I say let him. Just my opinion on a relatively unimportant matter
