    So let's look at our 2014 and 2015 draft and you tell me if he's a building block or a JAG. I accept incomplete as well. For those that don't know, JAG means just another guy.

     

    Mewhort build block top 10 guard

    Moncrief build block red zone need to play  big out of the red zone

    Dorsett JAG though colts are not using properly

    Anderson Build Block , nice piece to build dline around , elite run stopper when healthy , guy ith developing pass rush moves 

    Geathers building block , improve significantly this year ,health is a concern though

    Parry JAG, get push around to easily , not strong at the poa 

    Good Incomplete guy has shown flashed here and there struggles picking stunts 

     

    Include any I missed

     

     

    How often do big free agent signings actually work out well?

    Considering the Colts are a team that is nearly rebuilding their entire defense from scratch, it would not be smart to dole out huge wads of cash to free agents. I was in the camp of paying Dontari Poe whatever he wanted to get to Indy, but I take it back now. He's a beast no doubt, but I think he's gonna want too much money and if he busts, that'll set the team back even more (and remember, while he's been good, he's not been anywhere near as good as was thought to be after his rookie campaign).

     

    I'm leaning towards some more calculated free agent pick ups. Not necessarily players form the bargain bin, but middle tier FA guys. Kinda like Casey Hayward last season. 

     

    Good work digging this up. Great post. And it still boggles my mind that there are fans that think going bananas on FA signings is the way to go, in terms of building a contender. Yes, it worked for Denver. It didn't work for Jacksonville, Philadelphia, and Washington all those years ago. FA is hit or miss, and more often than not, it's miss. I trust Ballard knows what he's doing.

    we can easily get guys like fairley ,jefferson  tier 2 guys at position of need , and sign one or two tier 1 one guys like ingram and be just as effecient

    The last few weeks I've needed to print out the roster list - we had two running backs in the last couple weeks that weren't even on our practice squad this summer.  Same with WR.  Lost 3 O-line guys today.  Rivers was limited in play calling due to the incredible inexperience, "hand off right" and "hand off left" was about it at RB.  He was directing virtually every position on the field.  *deep sigh*

     

    I barely watched any football this year, so I think I only saw the Colts once and didn't even see N.O.

     

    Who do you think would be a good coach for us?  Special teams coach should have been fired before the end of the season - pitiful performance.

    if it was me i would fire hc and keep grigs around , give him two years the next two draft are going to be deep imo in defense . grigson is learning from his mistakes and his drafts have been good . dorsett hasn,t been used correctly and develop something which is coaching job , it taken a few hits and misses but slowly have build blocks ridgeway ,anderson ,geathers  on  offense you luck ,hilton ,moncrief ,mewhort ,kelly  Haeg and clark look promising needs to work on strength and pass blocking in clark case . tj green a wait and see approach , imo being a db is one of top position to transition in the nfl /

    For what it's worth......

     

    Takkarist McKinley just showed up as a 1st round pick for either Kiper or McShay.      Now,  they may not be right,  but the odds of him falling to the 6th round are probably right around........  zero.

     

    When you write names like this,  it would be helpful to all if you would add their positions and their names.   Not everyone knows all these guys at this point.....

     

    Many thanks!

     

     

    Takkarist Mckinely stock has risen signifcantly i remember when he was a late round pick a month ago , havn,t checked in a while .Derek Barnett is OLB from Tennessee, Sidney jones is a cb from washington on one of best d in cfb , Azeem victor is an ilb from washington , reminds me of his former college teeam shaq thompson.Kareem hunt is a rb from toledo has a bit of david johnson in him can do it all pass block , catch and run the football , i am team dalvin but he is my fourth favourite back behind cook,mcaffery and kamara .montravius adams is a dt /de on the auburn defense is quick and explosive off the snap , display positon flexabilty like ridgeway who we drafted last year   

    My Best Case Scenario 2017 Draft for Colts

    If this was our draft I'd be happy. I mean I want Garrett, but there's several good EDGE rushers in this class. We need to hit a grand slam in free agency though. Chandler Jones/Nick Perry/Melvin Ingram, Stephon Gilmore, Zach Brown plus this draft would be pretty awesome. We need to literally become loaded with EDGE rushers over night. 1 or 2 in free agency, and 2-3 in the draft.

    if we can sign ingram , fairley and perry but most likely it either perry or ingram if had to spend fa money but fairley we can get cheap , so fairley and kiko we get for cheap , perry or ingram going to cost serious coin . draft garret to complement ingram or perry , hopefully draft sidney jones to complement vontae putting prob as 3rd corner and butler as the fourth and Zack cunnigham to complement kiko in the linebacking core
