I realize that a lot of the names that I've included have been frequently discussed on the forum.. my questions are:

 

1. Will we have enough space under the cap to make these FA moves without messing up our cap situation going forward?

 

2. How accurate are base salary projections I've listed for the FAs, in your opinion?

 

3. Am I missing any Colts FAs that we should consider resigning?

 

4. Do you think that this FA/Mock fills as many of our largest needs as possible?

Is Karim a free agent?

And the Rambo pick is just bad IMO. This safety class is so deep, Rambo is a HUGE reach there at a spot where much better safeties should be available, such as Swearinger, Cyprien, Shamarko and Phillip Thomas, TJ McDonald, etc.

Beatty was on the Giants btw... forgot to write it down..

Karim is not a FA.. not sure why I thought he was...

I was thinking Cyprien at SS, but I'm not sure he will be available where we pick in the 3rd.. I like Rambo's tape, but I'll have to look at others....we need to get one either way

Well not sure we can fit them all on the roster.. but I don't think those numbers will be accurate.

Get rid of Beatty. Rather draft a tackle. It'll be cheaper and we can get a player of equal/better quality with less wear-tear. Just my 2 cents though....

[tydontlie]

I like the draft and the free agency..I do like the Rhodes and Rambo picks, I would be satisfied with those. I like Rhodes man to man cover abliity, and I think Rambo is one of the best safeties in the draft.
