[Happy Birthday, Anthony Richardson!]

Mine was on the 24th but wish I was Anthony's age. Haha.

HOUSTON, WE COMING FOR YOU!

[Key season for Braden Smith]

So true.  Many have been advocating moving him to guard for many years.  Eight years in and it still hasn’t happened.  Don’t think it ever will actually.  Especially since Fries has improved and he could continue to improve who knows.  It’s a top five OL.  Just continue to develop the depth so you have it when the time comes.

He's a top 10 RT in the league when healthy, so why would you want him to move back to guard?

I'm most worried about Mayo boy!

Pressure has a funny way of making a secondary look better than they are. I wanted to add a vet to the secondary too, but I think they are going to be better than people think. 

I was high on the defensive line BEFORE they drafted Laiatu Latu. On paper, this is probably the most talented defensive line from top to bottom during my lifetime. I'm just hoping everyone can stay healthy this year! It's gonna be a ton of fun watching Latu improve as the season goes on. He's the most talented pass-rusher the Colts were able to get their hands on since Robert Mathis, Dwight Freeney were in their primes.

 

[Erlinger’s replacement]

Let’s face it Flacco. Is nearly 4 and  on a one year deal and Erlinger doesn’t look like he’s ever gonna be ready for prime time. I hoping Slovis or Pennix can step up 

You do realize Joe Flacco was signed to be the backup. There's no competition between him and Ehlinger. Ehlinger will be battling for a roster spot against Slovis and Bean.

I agree on offense. I think we'll need it with our defense which is currently very hard to evaluate.

I like the front seven a lot, but the secondary is a huge question mark heading into the season. Players staying healthy is going to be key as always, but for the Colts to have a great season the younger guys will all need to step up and take a step forward since it's not looking like the Colts are signing a veteran Corner or Safety which I think is a huge mistake.

[Steichen 2nd year]

 

Shane Steichen/Anthony Richardson/Jonathan Taylor

Michael Pittman Jr/AD Mitchell/Alec Pierce/Josh Downs/Anthony Gould

Jelani Woods/Will Mallory/Alex Ogletree/Kylen Gransen

A top-five offensive line with all five starters returning with the best depth across the board in a very long time.

 

[Colts Select Laiatu Latu Edge UCLA]

I Didn't care much for the pick at first but once I realized he was the first defensive player off the board and the Colts were able to snag AD Mitchell in the 2nd, this pick became a slam dunk IMO.

[Colts select Adonai Mitchell WR Texas (Merged)]

LFG!!

[The one player you want from this years draft]

[Dane Brugler's final 7 ROUND 2024 Mock Draft]

I'm not big on Quinyon Mitchell but picking a slot receiver like Ricky Pearsell within the top 50 blows my mind. Drafting Legette would make more sense imo.

[Superman's 2024 offseason mock 1.0]

Chop Robinson at 15 is crazy.

[Nabers…]

The NFL Draft is unpredictable and anything can happen but it's highly unlikely for Nabers, Odunze & even Brock Bowers to make it to 15.

[Ballard pre-draft presser]

It was the typical Chris Ballard presser that we've all seen every year he's been the Colts GM.

[Ballard pre-draft presser]

Gotta credit the media for asking him the difficult questions even though he's dodging most of them in typical Ballard fashion.

[Brock Bowers or Quinyon Mitchell]

100% Bowers. Give Anthony Richardson MORE weapons.

[Jared Verse or Terrion Arnold]

Cooper DeJean.

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

Sticking at 15 is the most likely, but if Chris Ballard was ever going to move up in the first round and select a player, it's gonna happen next week.

[Brock Bowers or Quinyon Mitchell]

Brock Bowers. Surrounding Anthony Richardson with as much talent as possible is my number one focus right now.

[Who on the current staff is the "scapegoat" in waiting?]

More than likely Gus Bradley will take the fall but it should 100% be Chris Ballard.

[Will the Colts replace Leonard? (Or not)]

Give me Jeremiah Trotter Jr.

[The CB Spec (on THIS defense)]

what do you think he’ll pull? 

Probably something close to what Gilmore signed with the Colts. I guess it'll depend on how high his market is and how long he has to sit and wait to sign somewhere. I'm assume he'll sign something close to 12-15 million per year.

[The CB Spec (on THIS defense)]

7 minutes ago, ColtStrong2013 said:

It’s the route I see us going quite honestly. Not necessarily him specifically, but an older vet and maybe one that isn’t brought in to be an upgrade but more depth/mentor like you said. 

I would be okay with signing him on a short deal if the price is right.

[The CB Spec (on THIS defense)]

If the Colts aren't able to a top FA at CB then I wouldn't mind taking a flier on Xavien Howard to bring in a veteran presence to help mentor the younger guys while filling a need at outside CB. Also, Xavien will go back to playing man coverage which is something he excels in.
