  1. Doug Baldwin has been mentioned, probably because of the Pep/Luck connection. And Seattle can afford to let him go.

    That certainly isn't a big name, or big deal though.

    only a matter of time till we get the how stanford offense. just like we were trying to get every raven in FA(per rumors of a couple ravens)

  2. what makes you think the Lions didn't want Cherilus, they drafted Riley Reiff last year and they felt he could fill in at RT and save money, they also didn't have much cap to begin with and had bigger needs.  Cherilus is a good RT and he is not overpaid if the Colts didn't sign him someone else would have gladly paid him that.

    Is Cherlius even top 10 talent at RT....no so why pay him like hes a top 5 RT. when vollmer is still on the board moore is stil there, and Andre Smith. all those are better than cherlius. If we over paid for a guy like Vollmer....id be fine bc hes elite RT. Hes done a great job protecting brady. 

     

    Thats what i wanted colts to stay away from.....bidding wars, they will only make sure you severily overpay. 

  3. I think if you think the guys we signed are only for depth and to be back-ups....   I think you're kidding yourself.

     

    You're going to be greatly disappointed.

     

    Cherilous starts at RT

    Toler starts at corner

    Walden starts at OLB

    Thomas starts at OG

     

    At least,  that's the plan as of today.

     

    Sidbury gets a chance to impress.   He might be depth.   But his contract is also the smallest of the five guys we signed.   A flier with upside.

    Depth guys on there ex teams to be starters here.....Pack obvisouly didnt want Walden. Lions didnt want Cherlius and we make him the 2nd highest paid RT. Vollmer? thats more of a top tier RT. I like Toler but the price.....yikes. Thomas was a the only one of the bunch that wasnt over paid for. 

  4. After thinking about our haul of FA....i began to think....ive seen this for years. polians nvr liked to be big players in FA and only signed guys for depth. Grigs is the same way. Grigs is a quantity for quality guy. 

     

    I still think the draft is a toss up for wat position we would address in the 1st bc FA didnt address any problems, only patches. I think our biggest needs are still OLB, CB and S. OL did get better but anyone was a upgrade over the OL last year.  

     

    Possible 1st Round Selections After 2nd Day

     

    Banks CB

    Trufant CB 

    Rhodes CB

    Elam S

    Cyprein S

    Vaccaro S

    Moore DE/OLB

    D. Jones DE/OLB

    Mingo OLB

    Okafor OLB

     

    Right now as we sit i see a safety or OLB being our 1st round pick so im between Cyprein and D. Jones. 

     

     

  5. Irsay tweets

    @JimIrsay: We like Castonzo-Cherilus OT bookends n with #98 Mathis going 2 RT OLB pass rusher,his perfect fit,Walden coming n2 hold the edge at L.OLB

    @JimIrsay: Great 1st day in FA!Spent 90 million dollars yesterday!Won the Cherilus right OT bidding,which makes him the 2nd Highest paid Right OT n NFL

     Is he the 2d best RT? uhhhh no! Vollmer you can make points hes a top 3-5 RT....but cherilus? not in top 5 or even maybe 10. Im not happy with any signings besides butler and thomas...i believe we overpaid everyone else(not sure on sidbury contract). 

     

    Mathis, Hughes, Sidbury and Walton.....thats a group of OLB rushers offenses will fear.......lol
