Well, IDK about more FA's but the draft has me really intrigued now. Anybody know where this puts their cap situation after this signing?
I don't know much about how cap numbers are affected by salary, but I read that we had 30 mil. before signing him... He gets 10 mil. in the first year and there are guarantees and incentives involved.
My thought is that we are likely done signing FAs except for UDFAs... I could be wrong, of course. It's is easy enough to move money around if there is one guy that the FO really likes.

J. Allen falling out of the top 10... I dont think he would make it to or past Indy's pick, but it could definitely happen.
-
BPA is the only way...
I'd be ecstatic with Foster and Williams if they were available in those spots... I don't see the value in taking an O-Lineman with either of the picks unless Ballard thinks the player is special. As deep as the Edge class seems to be, they will fly off the shelves in the first couple rounds...
I am really loving this draft class when it comes to the talent/need intersect as it pertains to the Colts. With 7 picks in 5 rounds, I really hope that we can capitalize on the depth in the CB, Edge, RB, TE, and S classes. There should be studs available at these positions throughout our draft, with the possible exception of the fifth round. They will fall because many teams still need QBs, WRs, and OTs and will overdraft the heck out of them like happens every year.

Man, they should trade with Indy...
I know that interdivisional trading isn't the norm, but how great would it be to take some picks from Houston just so that they can overdraft a QB in the 1st?
Not sure what the specifics would be, but it's a nice thought.
-
Really good career for Romo, but I doubt he would have vaulted Houston to contender status...
Too often injured the last few seasons to be reliable. Good luck to him, though.
-
Gore could hit 1000 with enough carries, sure. I don't think he's falling off any cliffs this season... He's not normal.
We shouldn't be looking (in the draft) for a scat back to compliment Gore, though... I think we should be looking for his replacement and I don't really want to see two draft picks at RB...
Maybe we find a speedy UDFA to groom, but I won't cry if Ballard saves the RB decision for next year's draft altogether, ttytt, despite what a deep class it is.
-
Not sure if link worked, but there is no doubt that Luck and Crief have mad chemistry in the RZ offense.
I know that Aiken has a good reputation in the RZ as well, but will he and #12 be able to mind-meld like Luck can with Moncrief?
-
Some of the things Vontae says sound like they were written for Ralph Wiggum.
McAfee reminds me of Otto for some reason.
L. Landry is the action hero Schwarzenegger guy (is it McBain, or is that something else?)
Spot on with Pagano as Ol' Gil...

1. Brady
2. A-Rod
3. Luck
4. Ryan
5. Carr

I've believed this all along. And I mean not only, considering the state of our roster do we need to take advantage of guys like Mixon and Lewis falling the 3-4 range, but we need some bad boys. We need some loud mouths that tount the crowd and opponents non stop like a Suggs or Sherman. Or guys like Burfict, Talib, Jenkins, Pacman, etc. Guys who come straight outta the geto. Guys like Bernard Pollard who played angry and seem like they actually try to take players out. We need that. I don't want a bunch of good guys. I want guys who'd rather kill somebody than to lose a game, guys who only care about winning, etc. We were always taught winning is EVERYTHING!!! BUT....Not saying Mixon and Lewis are like this. All they've done is hit women like some scumbags, but they'll fall down the board because of that. And I'd MUCH rather have a full of scumbags who can ball that mediocrity. We can come out of this draft and drastically improve our team right away IMO. But back to Mixon and Lewis. They're both late 1st-early 2nd round picks. When you can get a talent like that in the 2-3-4 you gotta take it. I mean hell if we got Lewis and Mixon in the 3rd and 4th it's be like 3 1st rounders, maybe 4 depending on what we do in the 2nd.
I don't disagree that defenses need a certain amount of attitude and "killer instinct" to succeed. I think the larger issue for the team (PR issues aside, they always dirty themselves out when you win) is that certain character issues ie. hitting women in public, or ped concerns, put the player at a higher risk to be suspended, or jailed and black-listed. Wrong or right, you can't put the team at risk if a player can't stay out of trouble. It's a fine line.

Aaron Jones is a bad mutha (shut yo mouth)...
I know he didn't play top-notch competition, but he's got more moves than Elmo...
-
One of the best players in the entire class. I hope that the incident at the combine makes him fall into Indy's lap. It is really hard for me to imagine a scenario in which he is available at #15 and isn't the BPA, to say nothing of the need that the team has at ILB.
Saban seems to think he's coachable. I know how little that means, but the tape shows a smart player. There aren't 10 players in the draft class that I'd rather see in a Colts uniform than Foster, but maybe it's just me.
-
I like Aiken... Good hands, big body. Not a burner, but we have a few of those...
-
Melvin is decent depth... I don't want to go into the season with him starting on the outside, but he had some good games last season. Worth a roster spot, imo.
-
Triple annoying...
1. We don't get him
2. NE keeps him
3. He sets the ILB market at a high number, probably earning Brown and Minter some extra dough.
-
This thread will be locked but I read that he signed a 5 year deal with us.. True?

Hey Simon is good, but you guys are cool with him starting???????????? L No.... NO!!!! We gotta draft a couple studs and sign Barwin or Sheard. This is stupid.
No Barwin, please... He can play (when he's not hurt), but he just annoys me so much... Not sure why, but that guy's personality just irks me.
-
Idk... Really hard for me to get past the girl-punching.
I've never met a guy who used to smash girls in the face, but had learned his lesson. Even though he was an 18 year old kid, to me, his offense is a sign of much deeper troubles... the kind that you don't just grow out of.
There will be incidents and it doesn't matter who he signs with. The real question, for me, is whether or not he will be able to keep them out of the media with the money he will make, because you can't tell me that he doesn't have an anger problem and an impulse control issue. People who abuse weaker people have brain chemistry problems and only a simpleton would believe that the recorded infraction was his first or only one.
I'm not saying that he can't get better... Just that he couldn't have gotten better yet. Abuse isn't a childish mistake that one will just stop when they mature. It should drop his draft stock as much as it would've dropped if he had a serious crack or meth addiction, because any team that drafts him will incur risks at least as high as those.
Edit: Sorry for the rant... I do know that the girl hit him and that it wasn't his girlfriend... Men hitting women is a super sore spot for me and it is entirely possible that I automatically assumed a pattern where none was... It still strikes me as extremely abnormal behavior, but I shouldn't "diagnose" the guy without having been there... That being said, still too risky to draft, in my eyes...

I think Ridgeway is going to be a pretty good player. I was pleased with him last season.
As far a Kerr goes. I see the Colts are interested on Chris Baker. http://www.stampedeblue.com/2017/3/6/14837602/report-colts-have-their-eye-on-defensive-lineman-chris-baker
So I am not sure Baker is that much of an upgrade over Kerr for what Baker is probably going to get
I actually agree on Ridgeway... I was making reference to him in a semantic way to illustrate a point, but I actually think he's going to impress this upcoming season.
DL often hit that rookie wall hard. Ridgeway has shown flashes for sure. I really hope he can build on it. We have some young talent on the DL. I'd love to see a game-wrecker FA brought in, though.

He's not even average.
2 hours ago, Coltfreak said:Kerr has always been over rated by posters omen this board
I'm not saying that he hasn't been overrated. Maybe I'm one of those that has been overstating his talents, but...
Nobody is talking about Kerr being a starting DE, here. I'm talking about a cheap RFA tender for a decent depth player (imo)...
I am definitely not a great judge of NFL talent, just a die-hard Colts fan, but Kerr has stood out to me at times when he's been on the field. It is very hard for me to believe that he isn't at least average with regard to teams' 3rd DE on the depth chart...
It's no lock, in my eyes, that Ridgeway (who I also like) will ever be better than Kerr... He certainly wasn't last season, imo (I know he was a rookie).
-
I'm in total agreement with the OP with one caveat...
I think that, with the schedule we have this upcoming season, we are bound to overachieve in the first year of our defensive reload. It should be a good confidence-builder for the new faces we will have at so many positions.
My hope is that we will reach "contender" status by the time the 2018 season rolls along. That isn't to say that we can't win it all in 2017... Anything is possible when you make the playoffs with a QB like Luck.
I do think 8-8 is our rock bottom as long as Luck stays healthy. I don't expect any more .500 seasons for quite some time.
-
I still gotta hold out hope for the Kerricane... It seems like he made a bunch of plays from the DL last season and I've always thought that he's at least decent depth. Colts could still tender or offer him a contract after he hits the market. I hope they do... Jones is the D-lineman we should be showing the door.
No big loss with McNary... He's JAG at best.

I wouldn't. Just read another report that he was evicted from his apartment for not paying rent. ( almost $700) 3 days before he fractured 4 bones in that girl's face. That's not being immature, that's being a bad person.
To be fair, I think we all know that he's a bad person based on the whole "fractured 4 bones" incident... I agree completely with that assessment...
I don't think his eviction really adds anything to that, though. You can be evicted without being a bad person at all, imo.
-
I still think he comes back to Indy... I don't think other teams are going to value him like we do.
He has very good hands, but would have to build a rapport with another QB and another OC that might not use him as well/extensively as Chud did. I think teams are looking for better blockers out of their in-line TEs and better speed from their receiving guys. Doyle is a good security blanket for us, but I think other teams will take pause before signing a guy that they might have a hard time finding a role for.
I won't cry if we lose him, but my gut says he's a Colt next season, which would make me happy (if his contract is reasonable).

He isn't dropping out of the 1st... Or even close to that far.
My concern with him is the shoulder. If Indy's doctors sign off on him, I would still run to the podium if he's there at 15... If the shoulder is going to affect him long-term, then, not so much. Same goes for the concussion issue.
I don't like the bad decision-making during the draft process, but that is what it was going to take to have him drop to 15... Without these issues, he's off the board when we pick 100% of the time.
Medical could be an issue that will force him to drop out of the 1st, but only a long-term issue... Even substantial risk of a shoulder surgery in the upcoming season wouldn't drop him that far, imo.
