Getting a guy like this in here early really helps him.
He won`t be the last New WR with size in camp.
A 15-20 catch season maybe in year one, guesstimate a 20% chance making the opening day roster.
Shows us IMO many of us understand what is needed, and our GM is hot on the lookout.
-
Having $12-$15 Million a year to spend that Some of your competion does not have should be good for depth.
An Ex: Brees at $10M per, Rodgers $7M as I recall. Their teams had 15-16 players making more than $1M in their SB Winning years when the Colts had 9 in our SB Loss.
Who else will have that advantage.
Seattle will have about $4M a year more than us over this time.
Washington the same as us.
Cam Newton will sign a Cap friendly deal.
Kaepernik too I whould expect.
All NFC Teams that should have Elite QB`s in 5 years. Lots of competition.
But most likely about 10 of the 2012 players will be here 4-5 years from now.
That means the roster will be loaded with younger players. Good enough for a run we should certainly Hope.
-
Thanks esmort. It really is that simple. Anyone remember Marvin & Reggie disappearing in a playoff game.
A bigger receiver with strong hands is MORE valuable operating within the tightness of the red zone.IMO
Barden is very slow.
-
Okafor has talent for a college player, but what I come up with he is a 4-3 end, not so fast and athletic to be really good in space for a 3-4. We will see.
-
Will Luck throw for 4,000 yds in year two in this offense with a better running game?
-
IMO there is ZERO probability we sign Bowe.
Kruger at age 27 would be worth a 4-5 year contract. Solid talent & FB savy.
I could see us making a Competitive offer for him. If Mathis was worth $9M per at his age, and HE WASN`T.
Like what I have been able to find on Vasquez. If he IS such a stout run blocker he would work.
Would he leave SD for about equal $$$?
I watched Warford in Sr Bowl practice and Mayock saw things he liked.
Without a pyschological profile and Pro Day/Combine results, I wouldn`t have a clue who belongs On our draft board, or what round they should be taken.
-
Bowe has the size that looks good and just enough speed. Not sure he has shown enough Team player traits for Grigson to give the guy $10+M a yr for 4 years or more, especially as he will be 29 at the start of next season.
Especially IMO, as we are so many players and a few years away from building a deep, experienced in playing together team.
Sooner we get a bigger WR in the system the better tho.
-
Reading Grigsons words and looking at all the High Quality veterans on this years SB Teams leads me to believe our GM won`t push the FA envelope in year two.
Slow and steady on Free Agents. Develope what we have and fill in a few more slots with younger moderate priced players with good upside. A Talented, Deep and Experienced roster to compete for the One Goal will take at minimum 3 years. IMO
I expect one FA O-Lineman at no more than $5-6M, maybe a 2nd one at $4M, or draft the second one.
Castonzo had a rough year, but it does make sense to see where he is at with another year of experience and in an Offense that doesn`t throw as much, and uses more quick pass routes. That should help everyone.
I can see Fleenor split wide some in this New offense!
-
The draft Guru`s Love the stop watch and overall athleticism.
And they highly value the player production seen on tape.
At some point these lines cross, perhaps that line usually comes by round 6?
By then you start seeing Most, not all, players short in both areas.
Hunger, Focus, Intelligence, Luck & Opportunity then break down the door.
As we watch the Hayworth Hicks of the world pass on by.
-
I don`t see how they can settle for his overall lack of production. 12 tackles in over 700 plays is not within a country mile of what an average player needs to produce. Does he ever get his arms up in the passing lanes?
If the glove don`t fit...
-
A taller receiver with speed, hands and some blocking ability will soon be in our future Guaranteed.
Makes sense that the 2014 draft will be given a very hard look in the 1st two rounds.
-
Grigson had the advantage of two Franchises research of college players. Whatever he had he decided very well.
There are always guys taken in rd one who either don`t pan out or become very avg. players.
I expect very good results with this years 1st pic, and likely good results in the 3rd and 4th in this deep draft.
Wish us Luck keeping Our own FA`s that Grigs thinks can help us. BA will want some of them!
Can`t wait to be talking about our new players and year two.
-
Running the Hybrid MidWest/Vertical offense?
Leading the League in completions over 20 yards for years to come.
-
Laugh of the day Uncle Mark.
!Jim Irsay has travelled quite a road getting himself and OUR Colts Franchise to being admired the way it is.
It didn`t have to turn out this way!
And he is such a goof at times, trying to have a good time with it all. I am very glad he is OURS!
-
What % of late 2nd round CB picks become ELITE?
Should they be expected to become ELITE?
-
No way NFL players should be put at such a High Risk of injury in an All-Star game.
Because of what they do put themselves through, a free trip to Hawaii for R&R with their peers and Family has been hard earned, and the NFL should continue this.
Let them play some flag football, skills tests, etc. and have a couple of fun filled meet & greet, picture taking Fan days.
This would add Real meaning to being named a Pro Bowl player as you wouldn`t backfill for the Super Bowl players and the ones that don`t attend for whatever reason.
-
Buchanan did make 1 Pro Bowl. He was an excellent coverage guy.
Need a larger body of work, I would say Vontae might be the slightest bit behind Ray in coverage, but I would call Vontae Big Play Davis against the running game. Wish him health and happiness, Vontae is plenty good enough for me.
-
Donald Brown won`t last more than two years (and as a backup only) in the league if the Colts let him go, he is that mediocre. No vision no cutback, not a good blocker. JMO

Jerry Hughes 41 tackles 4 sacks
Lawrence Guy 18 tackles 1 sack
Dwig Freeney 12 tackles 5 sacks
Hughes>Guy>Freeney
-
Kruger tackles 42 sacks 9
Barwin tackles 35 sacks 3
Hughes tackles 41 sacks 4
at this "Rotational" BUST.Some people MISSED Booger McFarland crushing the O-line from the DT position in 2006.
And yes BOB took care of what was left.

How far from Elite?
I`ll estimate after about 900-1000 more Game pass attempts.
He clearly has the "Clutch Gene", he just needs to improve his arm strength a little, keep that spiral tight more consistently, and get "in better time" with his receivers. Usually Late & off target. He wasn`t throwing BB`s.
He was pretty lame at doing his checkdowns and had trouble hitting them when he did.
Season two will be all about improving his short game.
An Excellent progression on the path to building at least one Elite MONSTER.
-
Likely at less than 100% next season. And whoever gets him after that will have CAP issues so the closer the better.
-
Would like to see Jeff Saturday back here involved in whatever area he wished to contribute.
And have him do a teaching seminar in Professionalism & GRIT.
-
My Guesstimation is a 4th for Pierre.
!
that big FA WR
in NFL Draft, Scouting, and Free Agent Talk

Notice Grigson signs a very tall guy with WR speed, not one with the speed of an Avg. inside linebacker. Speed rules.
For other posters, IMO, Now isn`t the time, and Bowe isn`t the player the Colts would want for Big $$$.
