I hope Chubb is there at 6.
no chance. we'll be lucky to get Nelson. But there will be a good guy at 6, just maybe not Nelson unfortunately (who we needed real bad). Knew a move was coming, this is not surprising, however, the longer you hold out, the more picks we could have gotten closer to the draft. But look, I feel we are going to trade again. We are going to unload #6 for more picks (I feel). Unless they are 100 percent confident they can get Nelson.

would have liked Jensen. if we can use the middle of the draft for OL, we could get some defensive talent at the top. If not, we must get Nelson then use middle of draft for DL....one way or another, the team is getting depleted and we need lots of picks. I still say Ballard has some magic up his sleeves and he's going to surprise us with some moves in the next couple months because you can't rebuild without having some cornerstones.

crud, i would have really liked it if ballard could have pulled that off. i mean i realize he probably didn't even give him a look or 2nd thought, but guys like Mathieu are rare.
-
holy cow, i thought we had a chance at him.

the guy was a gamer, I hate to hear this. so many times he was making some great plays on a team that we didn't get many "wows" from. it's a business and man, does that suck sometimes. you have 53 little CEO's on each team and they move their company from time to time.

Indiana passed a law recently to allow sales of booze on Sundays. This could in response to the Colts recent performance for the past two years.
Us Colts fans already plan way ahead to get our tailgate alcohol before Sunday rolls around, then we drink it all in the van down by the river before we walk over to the game.

would hate to lose him. solid.

NFL network (like i said in another thread) and many other networks are disparaging the Colts right now. They are pointing out all the cap money and how bad the Colts are, etc, etc. It's just what they do, we are going to have to listen to it for a week or so I'm guessing....like last year, it will simmer down a bit later, but since the cap money is there, they are hammering Ballard relentlessly. I simply wanted to watch the NFL Network today to catch up on which free agents were talking to the Colts (because I thought Jordy Nelson & others might be) and when they were analyzing what the top 5 cap money teams were doing, they just concentrated & splashed negativity on the Colts for 10 minutes, geez, all of the broadcasters did it not just one (former players, etc.) Just brutalized us. Said there is only 2 of the top free agents left, blah blah,, I figured Ballard would have something for us today, but it's not to happen and I can't say I'm shocked. The madness will taper off and Ballard will acquire a bunch of players to compete with one another, and then we need to kick butt and take names in the draft, which I think he will. Once the draft is over and free agency has had a chance to materialize further, we should have a lot to look forward to in 2020 (could be next year but let's be realistic). We are a work-in-progress and if we fail to realize that, we are just going to get high blood pressure.

Yet, back in reality, free agency only began 24 hours ago (23 and a half, actually).
I agree, we need to wait and see. Right this minute, we are getting hammered on NFL Network. From everything from jim irsay saying Ballard is the best GM of the 21st century , 56 sacks, we have only acquired one player (relative no-name), tons of cash and doing nothing with it, the McDaniels fiasco as it relates to Ballard being a "good" GM, etc, and blah blah blah. They said they talked to an Indy local reporter and everyone in Indy is scratching their heads. It almost sounds like Gregg Doyel is lurking in the building at NFL Network.

I was just driving across West 56th Street and noticed a Brinks truck pulling in to the Colts' complex. Could be a good sign!
Don't tease us like that. Even though Jensen is not one, the Colts signing a big name free agent

kind of irresponsible for Luke to say that.... what team isn't "lurking" any big name player like that. Of the teams "lurking" him, the Colts would probably be the least likely to lurk-n-snag him.

Does anyone know the full list of player announcements for FA since the 4pm hour hit? We could have gotten offensive tackle Andre Smith from Cincy for 4 mill. per year. another one bites the dust.
-
A wild Tuesday spoiled most of the suspense for Wednesday, when the market officially opens at 4 p.m. ET. There already have been agreements reported for more than 30 of our top 100 free agents -- including eight of the top 10.

Ballard preaches the "locker room" plenty (keeping everyone happy in the locker room), which is born out of not overpaying players and creating disgruntlements from within the circle of team players, acquiring non egocentric players, etc. There's even another article about it in the indystar today. This is Ballard's first crack at being a GM, but no doubt he has seen poisonous locker rooms, players of same caliber getting paid unfairly differently, egos, etc. It is a delicate balance and I just wonder where a player of a certain massive need, tips the scale for Ballard? I think we are going to find out over the next few days. The pressure cooker is heating up for his 2nd crack at free agency, but I'm not sure he feels any pressure. He is obviously more concerned with getting the draft right, and for that, we can be thankful.

I think Chris has gone to bed for the night. All the lights are out at the Colts offices. Time for all of us to get a goods night sleep and wake up to see who else is off the board. The entire fan base thanks you Chris for being so financially prudent. Don't worry we all know FA hasn't started yet. We are behind you Chris. We know you have a plan. Can't wait to see you in action tomorrow. Pleasant dreams.
no, "chris" never goes to sleep. thanks for being behind me, the count-down has begun, T-minus 8h22m47s

He drafted a injured malik hooker that was healthy at the start of the season and played a good season until he tore his ACL and MCL on week 7 vs the jags and quincy wilson look good durinf this season he had alot of flashy plays on big wideouts and terell basham had barely any playing time so you cant really say anything to be honest. He drafted 3-4 potential starters including Anthony Walker jr didnt get much playing time but has potential and nate harriston was a good pick in the 5th round what the hell you trying to say tbh
didn't realize he tore both, yipes. could be a long road back to 90%

i think ballard is strategically playing his cards carefully, not showing his hand yet. although we have FA money, we have to sign some from within and we don't have stupid Browns money to throw the moon at people. have to be careful with that precious money. ballard could be a free-agent whisperer. we'll see tomorrow at 4pm.

draft and FA, our o-line is def. going to get better...norwell or no norwell. nelson a must if barkley gone.

If Barkley goes #1, I fully expect the Giants to either take their top QB or trade down to the highest bidder.
with Norwell going to the Jags, the Colts really need to focus on getting Nelson. A commentator for NFL network just said he thinks the Giants will snag Nelson at #2.

Hypothetical: Mid April comes around and Luck is attempting to throw NFL footballs, he feels this pinching pain but continues to throw, afterward there is soreness. He lays off for a week, tries again and same scenario. It's now approaching Aprii 26th, he feels inclined to share the bad news with Jim Irsay and Ballard and schedules a trip to see Dr. Andrews down in Birmingham. Will the Colts now have done enough research on which QB to take of the 3 or 4 that seem to be on all the lists of 1st round material? Because it might be shaping up that Barkley goes 1 and Chubb 2, leaving the Colts with the pick of the QB litter at #3. Or no, take a chance on Brissett and Andrew's eventual resurgence after more surgery and take the best need pick at 3 (nelson or other options including trade-down)?

I don't think Chubb displayed enough at the combine to warrant the #2 pick. I think the pick goes to the highest bidder, which is bad for us.
he didn't light the world on fire that's for sure, but did do fairly well, I just hope we get a "3" value out of this draft. Here are the 3's going back to 2010:
Solomon Thomas
Joey Bosa
Dante Fowler
Blake Bortles
Dion Jordan
Trent Richardson
Marcell Dareus
Gerald McCoy

Browns now have Tyrod, that answers the question whether they will take Barkley once and for all, correct? Does that mean Giants might snag Chubb or will they take a QB?

Indianapolis Colts trade #3 overall pick to New York Jets (merge)

Good analysis, certainly not a blockbuster trade as some would call it, it's a good "value" trade. I'm glad most of the picks acquired were in the 2018 draft...that's what I was most worried about. This should give us some comfort that we are going to get better right away.
