  1. I am in favor of siging Flacco, drafting Joe Milton, and moving on from Ehlinger.  We get a mentor in Flacco with alot of football knowledge, and a Practice Squad arm in Milton with similar attributes to AR to develop.

  2. Ballard has traded Carson Wentz and Rock Ya Sin for:

    Matt Ryan and Yannick Ngakoue

    AND

    moved up 9 spots in the second and third round

    AND

    received a third (probable second) round pick next year.

     

    I will take same old same old everyday of the week and twice on Sunday, no other GM pulls that off.

    No you can’t trade down. Remember that most of the blue chip players In a draft will be taken in the first 15 picks. We’re at 13 so QB or not, we don’t need to trade down. This is a rare spot to be in. Especially with some of the names that might be there

    -Grant Delpit

    -A.J. Epenesa

    -Javon Kinlaw

    -Kristian Fulton

    -Henry Ruggs

    -Tee Higgins

    -Tristian Wirfs

     

    You don’t trade back unless you get a king’s ransom.

    I agree with this wholeheartedly.    Especially with the amount of youth we have added over the last few drafts, we need impact players now.  I don't expect us to be drafting at 13 or lower again soon.

  4. Seems like a strange topic for a post.  This offseason has been nothing but good news.  Solid competition on defense, to the point that there is a chance that Walker gets supplanted by a draft pick, and another LB that won't be denied playing time in EJ Speed.  Rock Ya-Sin being better than advertised.  Denico Autry playing like a man on fire, not to even mention our WR competition, TE room, and DL playing like men on fire.  Being cautionary with Luck and Campbell during games that don't count makes sense.  We did the same thing when Peyton was here, sucked in the preseason, and ruled during the regular season, this time we will be doing it with a top to bottom complete defense.

  5. We are indeed lucky as Colts fans.  I don't know what it is, but I feel more connected to this team now, than even during our glory years, the automatic 12-4 or better seasons and expected AFC Championship games.  Alot of it probably has to do with the access to NFL teams in general, and the Colts specifically.  This latest series put out by Colts Productions has ingratiated me to the Colts at an all time high level, and was a genius move by the team leadership.  I feel like I personally have an investment in all these draft picks, and my favorite team.

  6. I think we might have been targeting Savage after hearing why they loved Willis.  They wanted a box safety that can cover the slot and TE's and I think Savage would have excelled in that role.  No one would have predicted him to go that early at 26, and for sure not at 20 where GB jumped up to get him, so we might have been caught off guard on that one.

     

    If I remember right, someone drafted Khalen Saunders right in front of us too.  We are never going to know for sure who we lost out on, but we do know our front office recovered nicely!
