[Ballard o line mindset with this past draft.]

Haha this might come to fruition. I told you guys

[Derrik brown and Chris jones]

Let’s talk the fundamentals of a dynasty.

if we can pull these two into Indy. I can say confidently imo we would have the best offense/defense line combo in the league.

would remind me of brown and white defensive line for the eagles. Any opinions ?

[Adams]

What are you talking about? There has been no speculation of interest in Adams. From what I’ve read the Cowboys are making a play for him. No word of the Colts involved there.

So that means he is only available to the cowboys? I am simply Stating that the colts should be very interesting as well as many other teams.

[Adams]

I just need to happen for me right now lol. Figuring out where to play Willis is such a good problem to have. I would give up a one and a third to get this done no questions if I was Ballord. Building domination right down the middle of our defense.

[Adams]

Please dear lord baby Jesus help this happen. I would love Jamal Adams on the Colts. Dream really 

[Kiper: "Ballard does it again. This is my favorite draft class."]

In my opinion we will have to trust the scouts and Ballard i mean they have done fantastic so far. I believe they reached a hair on some guys but it doesn’t matter because they will be at a higher floor in our scheme. They are targeted guys for our style of football. It’s up to the coaches to develop the talent. In this class the athletic profiles are jumping of the page. Bleacher report’s own Matt Miller gave it an A+ calling Indy’s front office the best in the game. I will personally wait till Ballard let’s me down to give any negative opinions especially hypothetical criticisms.

[Luck's maturation]

Imo he has done great in the west coast dink and dunk offensive scheme. We all know hooke good he was on arains air raid offense. If he is able to keep progressing back to his deep ball potential and puts it all together he is going to be unstoppable. Im excited for the future luck 

[Who would you give up draft picks for in a trade and at what cost. Bell, Donald, Mack other?]

Let's say this year the colts make a splash trade. Hypothetically contracts can't be hashed out and the colts are actually in contention for a run. If you were ballard what would u do? 

[Ballard o line mindset with this past draft.]

I saw a couple of interesting articles debating whether or not Nelson could play tackle in the NFL. His arms are long enough but the question remains is he athletic enough to play left tackle. Maybe even in a pinch. I look at new england's approach with left tackle in drafting Wynne for instance. He will get that shot eventually to try. I know he played tackle but he is undersized in nfl measurements. Hypothetically for argument sake let's say Nelson could be an average to great left tackle. Then with Smith in the second rounder, he has a similar build to a right tackle prospect. If we're hit on his potential as well Imo in the next year or two if we move on from constanzo and this pans out we could have two book end tackles.  I will be extreamly impressed not only with Ballard but the scoutng as well.

That will not only put to bed the argument drafting a guard in the top ten of the draft but also solidify this line for the next ten years at least for our tackle positions. I mean worst case  hopefully we have two starting caliber or better guards so I'm not complaining. Just food for thought. Any opinions? 

[Jordan Howard Trade Rumors]

I'd rather try and get David Johnson and pick#15 

[Casserly Mock 2.0.... Better....]

OK so here's how I look at all this talk about positional value when it comes to guards. At the combine the measurables suggest he could play tackle in the NFl. IMO he has a solid chance to be an all pro guard. But atthe same time if needed had a decent chance at being a potential pro bowl right tackle.

Him and Donald together will be tough.

Personality aside reminds me of Jerome Brown/Reggie white

[Rams sign suh]

Wow posted three times no good

[Rams sign suh]

Wow Donald and Suh equals viciously Savage. I can't remember if the Colts play therm but I hope we don't. Interestingly enough its only a one year deal. 14 mil. Might be a colts target next year if Ballard decided to change his ways. 

[Duck this ducking ship wth man]

I guess this means we are trading out with the bills. Obviously not trying to win this year. I thought we'd at least sign one or two pretty good players even if we had over pay a little. I'm sure it will sign one or two decent names but it's definitely not a win-now mentality. I guess the plus side is will have cap room next year for whatever free agents Ballard decides to sign. My guess is trying to make the mentality of people wanting to come to sign here only and he's not going to reach out and really try hard for somebody or overpay them. I'll chill out and relax now just wanted to vent. I guess we'll see how it unfolds but clearly it looks like we are at least third in projection for our division this year. If luck has a good year no matter the win lose record they will want to come back to Indy. 

[Why do I keep seeing reports about the Colts and Ndamukong Suh being a good fit? (merge)]

Rather have Richardson all day

[trade down involving jamal adams]

Well actually von was in my list lol do you believe Broncos would give him up to get cousins? That definitely will not happen tho. In case you guys havnt taken notice the new trend in tge nfl is trading picks for great or upside type players. See for instance new england, rams, redskins, eagles. I read an article stating that is an actual trend and we might see more and more of that to come. 

 

[trade down involving jamal adams]

Edit

[trade down involving jamal adams]

This is a pipe dream but this is my wish. Maybe even throw in something else to to get this done. Idk maybe geathers would help or like a fith rd pick. I can just imagine hooker and adams wow. Allot of other things would have to fall in place and they would have to really fall in love with whatever qbs are left there. Any thoughts

 

[trade down involving jamal adams]

i could actually see it. stupid yes but iv'e seen stupider when it comes to teams and drafting quarterbacks. Or i would love David Johnson in a heartbeat from Arizona if they traded picks. This might be a nonsense post entirely but we could come out of this whole draft smelling very good if Ballard does his due diligence. No reason why a team wouldn't get desperate enough to give up a great player. especially with some cap situations. 

[trade down involving jamal adams]

because they could have five jamal adams and no franchise qb and

would still suck.

[Draft philosophy with the premise of down the middle]

We have so many of these pieces in place. I don't know if Hooker was one of these intended pieces or not but look at this.

Luck, Kelly, Hankins, Hooker

All above averedge or great potential players at their respective position. 

So going of that premise it makes total sense to draft Barkley if he is sitting there for us.

I know the consensus is Chubb and i get it but after a quick glance the DE end class is loaded in next years draft IMO.

I know Geathers is a viable starter at SS when healthy. I think logically that in the scenario that we trade down and miss out out top tier blue chip guys like Nelson or Fitzpatrick and stick to this premise middle linebacker would be the biggest need at that point. At which point targeting a RB in the second round would make sense. I wouldn't be apposed to take Roquan Smith then and plug him in right away. The only other players i could foresee in this down the middle idea really is Tremaine Edmunds idk about Darwin James in the middle.

What do you guys think.

 

 

[Frank Reich Expected to Interview]

Right it is vikings my bad got Detroit on my mind i guess. and yes your right play calling was the only call i could make on why he would choose us over Philly

[Frank Reich Expected to Interview]

 I'm under the assumption this has a low probability of happening but could be interesting. Now that's defilippo is interviewing in Minnesota for the offensive coordinator position. My thoughts are he will stay in Philly as oc if Reich signed here. If we managed to get both what do u guys think? My only reservations is i don't believe either has called plays before.
