[2024 NFL Draft Thread Day 1 (Final Discussions, Predictions, Rumors, etc…). ****NO SPOILERS****]

Bowers is going to LV

[Bold predictions for the draft]

Chop Robinson - 1st RD

Xavier Legette  - 2nd RD

[Colts have the 15th pick in the draft. (MERGE)]

Chop Robinson at 15 and Xavier Legette in the 2nd round and I’d be happy.  Chop’s got that motor that never stops.  He seams like he would be our Max Crosby!!

I think Ballard is still craving an edge rusher.  That’s why he tried for Hunter.  I think if Dallas Turner falls to 10 I think that’s striking distance and he will move up to get him.  Can always go WR later.

I’m good with that, and if we still have a 2nd I would love to land Xavier Legette.  That kid looks like a beast and might be steal of the draft.

[What is Chris Ballard MOST LIKELY to do in the 1st Round of the 2024 NFL Draft?]

My guess is an OL or WR.  If it is WR I think it will be Thomas Jr

This is what Pierce had to deal with this most of the season Minshew was so awful last night.

I really feel bad for Pierce.  He seems like a really good dude and never lost his cool even though Minshew never looked his way (except maybe 1 game).  I hope AR and him can make a connection.  PS Minshew has a noodle arm that’s why he was scared to throw deep. 

[Colts vs Texans post game]

Bottom line…. I don’t ever want to see minshew again!!

[2023 Season, 17th game, Saturday, Jan. 6th, 2024]

Going into commercial with Even Flow playing got me pumped 💪

[Bradley's D]

We couldn’t cover/stop any pass/run play to the outside.  No adjustments made to alleviate this.  That fail falls on Gus

He’s always solid.  He’s not and never going to be a superstar but he’s one of those guys you notice every game, he’s the type of player you want on your roster.

100%

Lewis is having a good game.  Glad we signed him.

Minshew is the backup QB.   I'll say that he is doing well for a backup QB.  Not sure our win total would be near where it is with AR leading the team as a rookie.

 

On todays game:

Not great, outside of special teams.  Minshew wasn't great but was OK with over 300 yards. 2 TD's and no INT's.  I thought the refs were nice to the Colts.  A win is a win.  

To the bolded part.  I thought the same thing.  In the 1st quarter, that was definitely PI on Hopkins .

He's already signed for next year.

I know, I was meaning when his contract is up.

samson ebukam, you dawg. 4 in two weeks. $8 mil a year. 

He’s our new Denico Autry.  This time let’s re-sign him and not let him go to a division rival.

[Jaylon Jones is CB1]

I noticed Mayfield was targeting him last Sunday.

this is why a have said the colts don’t need to draft a wr in the top 2 rounds. I think all their receivers would look a lot better with a good, let alone top qb.

Heck I think the best player on the team right now ( outside of DeFo) is josh downs.  The kid consistently has 3 yards separation.  His film so far is amazing.  His football IQ must be through the charts.

STOP THEM!!

[2023: Week 10 Colts vs Patriots in Germany, November 12, 2023, 9:30 EST]

Pull minshew on offense and pull Leonard on defense and this team just might be better.

Franklin has the 2nd most missed tackles for an off-ball LB going into this game... let that sink in...

Franklin has the most tackles on the team, let that sink in.

No more than Franklin and Olubi for their missed tackles or Speed for his non-coverage.

Good lord you can’t be serious.

Leonard is the new target this season apparently.

And he deserves to be.

[2023: Week 10 Colts vs Patriots in Germany, November 12, 2023, 9:30 EST]

I said it before and I’ll say it again.  Minshew is actually regressing as the season goes.  I’ve seen enough to know that I’m sure Sam can’t be worse.  At least Sam has some pocket awareness…. Minshew has 0.

[Colts vs Panthers post game reaction]

The more I watch the games this year, the more I think Minshew is regressing as a QB.  He has has lost all his swagger.  I hope he proves me wrong next week in Germany.

[Do you have an unpopular opinion about the Colts? If so, what is it?]

I think Jeff Saturday would have turned into a good coach with enough time.  I think he is a really good leader.

Right now, he’s seen most of the time after the play made by “other LBs” on the squad. I hear his voice cheering more than I hear his hits, if you know what I’m saying. But then you do wonder if going from Eberflus to Bradley reduced his value to the Colts D.

 

 

If you watch his tape, it’s not the system.  He is very timid out there and avoids contact.  He is a shell of his former self.  To me it’s simple, if there is zero improvement for the rest of the season you must let him go.  Then use the money in free agency and sign our guys that will hit the market.
