As I said above as well as Smonroe right after, he is a perfect candidate for the Practice Squad.

 

Last year we kept our tallest receiver on the PS...Kris Adams.  Kelly to me would be great as a back-up plan for injury...maybe could show us something big on the Special Teams this pre-season...

 

As Kevin Bowen says above, the last receiver spot looks to be Palmer/Whalen.  I am sure most of the board has Whalen because of Pep, but I feel we are making a huge mistake is we let Palmer go.  He was a West Coast Terror in college with Harnish as his QB...I can live with either one, but Palmer is healthy...not coming off of injury...thoughts Anton?  Guys??? :coltshelmet:  :coltshelmet:  :coltshelmet:

 

For me, right now, it's probably Palmer too. That being said, I think different skill sets can often be overplayed, production is the key, and whoever really performs in pre-season games should make the cut. I think Whalen would have made it last year if not for injury, if he has a similar pre-season, he could squeeze in. Rumble is interesting as well. Who knows....

I agree.....

 

I happen to be one not 'stuck' on Whalen.  I do like the 'hands' he showed....I like Rumble's name...:)  Just like C O Prime as a LB???  :)

I wouldn't count him out too quickly though. I think he's got a good shot to have a good year and earn another contract. Especially with him being able to play with a good QB and not changing QBs every 5 games. Now if he does flop then yeah a high pick on a WR becomes very likely.

 

i'm not saying he'll play poorly, or that he is a bust, i'm actually very excited to see him play with a talented qb..

 

but i have a feeling he's here on a one year stop, to raise his worth for next year's free-agency..

 

i really don't know what to think of his one year deal..

His deal is basically a prove yourself deal. If does well then he very well may get another contract. But I see what your say in.

      Early look at end of season 2024 offensive lineman free agents

      By OhioColt · Posted

      Colt's end of season OL Free Agents  OC Ryan Kelly OG Will Fries OC Danny Pinter OG Wesley French - RFA RG Jack Anderson LG Arlington Hambright - RFA RT Lewis Kidd - ERFA LG Josh Sills - RFA   NFL Market OL Free Agents:  LT Jackson Carman (Bengals)  LT Andrus Peat (Raiders) LT Andre Dillard (Packers) LT Walker Little (Jaguars)  LT Jaylon Moore (49ers)  LG Ben Bartch (49ers) LT/LG Saahdiq Charles (Titans)  LG Kayode Awosika (Lions) - RFA LG Nick Leverett (Patriots) OC Drew Dalman (Atlanta) OC/LG Trystan Colon (Cardinals) OC/LG Bradley Bozeman (Chargers)  OC/RT Robert Hainsey (TB Bucs)  RG/OC Nate Herbig (Steelers) RG Daniel Brunskill (Titans)  LG/RG Chandler Brewer (Jaguars) LG/RG Michael Jordan (Patriots) RT Jake Curhan (Bears) LT/RT Larry Borom (Bears)  LT/RT Chuma Edoga (Cowboys) RT Calvin Anderson (Patriots)    A few from the above mentioned wouldn't mind targeting after this season: Dalman (Atlanta) – in 2023 finished 6th best OL in zone with an 82.3 PFF grade.  Atlanta ran the most zone concepts of any team in regular season (315) where Dalman excelled earning a 90.9 run-blocking grade. Hainsey (TB Bucs) - best fit is inside zone run scheme Anderson (Patriots) – with Denver used to playing in a zone-blocking scheme Moore (49ers) – 3-year starter at Western Michigan’s shotgun, zone-based run scheme Carman (Bengals) – good fit in a zone scheme Bozeman (Chargers) – move to OC seen an improvement Brunskill (Titans) - solid backup with starter potential in his 30's Little (Jaguars) – good at reach blocking and outside zone   2025 OL Free Agents: - quick shoutout LG Isaac Seumalo (Steelers) – 2025 FA solid starter for years but the team draft Mason McCormick to be new starter in 2024 also be 32 years old in 2025.  Q. Nelson good until 2026 and will be 30 years old.  Starting guard in a zone scheme ideal. RT Thayer Munford (Raiders) – 2025 FA playing well – trade? Munford in 2022 on 432 run plays, 335 or 77. Percent were zone runs where he earned the third highest grade among the conference’s tackles with a 79.5 mark (Ohio State’s zone-heavy run scheme).  Braden Smith's contract set to expire.  Munford key replacement as an option. RT John Ojukwu (Titans) – 2024 ERFA 2025 FA? – best long-term position might be inside as a zone blocking guard.  A five-year starter for Boise State’s run heavy (60-40 run-pass) RPO based offense.

      Interesting Note on Last 2 Colts Receivers Drafted High

      By OhioColt · Posted

      It's not just drop percentages.  The Colts love speed on their offense.  Jonathan Taylor was recently listed as one of the fastest players in the NFL last season.  Then the Colts drafted Anthony Gould who in 2023 Week 3 hit a top speed of 21.6 mph.  As UDFAs the Colts then brought in NC State Trent Pennix who in Week 6 clocked the fastest time by a TE at 20.6 MPH but also is a capable RB.  Colts also added QB Jason Bean (Kansas) who in Week 9 clocked an impressive 22.4 mph T5 fastest player in 2023.  Adonai Mitchell during his Combine forty reached top speed overall at 23.84 mph.  Even Pierce had been clocked running 19.82 mph which is impressive for a man his size.  Downs unfortunately wasn't able to find a good metric on but did clock a respectable Combine forty time.

      AD Mitchell Not Signed

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      Welcome back.   After taking a month off, you’ve returned.   I’m not sure where to start, so let’s try the night the Colts drafted Mitchell.  Late that night, you and another high profile Ballard-Hater had this conversation:  That you didn’t like CBs defense of Mitchell.  His big speech.  Why?  Because you guys agreed that “Ballard didn’t know enough about Mitchell to know if he was a good guy or not.”   Your words.     When my chin came off the floor and my eyes back in my head I thought this:   Why would you OR the fans of any team ever think that what a GM shares on draft night is all he knows?   Because it isn’t.  A GM is sharing all that he wants to share, nothing more.  But what he doesn’t share is much, much more than what he does share.  Think an iceberg;  10 percent above water,  90 percent below.   A GM knows far more than he ever shares.    And now you make this argument….   If Mitchell doesn’t work out, Ballard has left himself open to criticism.   Two words:  who cares?   A GM can’t do his job well if he’s afraid of criticism.  Do you think the Steelers care that George Pickens is totally crazy?   No.  They care he makes big plays for Pittsburgh and catches first downs and touchdowns.  Mike Tomlin deals with the crazy part in private.   A GM has to have thick skin.  Ballard clearly does.   And he doesn’t care what others think of him.  Nor should he.     So far Mitchell seems to enjoy Indy.   I think the odds are good Ballard and Steichen can handle whatever baggage the kid brings.
