what's your ideal wide reciever group now

[backshoulderfade]

What do we think Blackmon would set a franchise back? 1st and mid round picks? More?

[SkyBane]

again. Can you point to the "derp sauce" with brazill?

I highly doubt you can prove anything you are saying about the guy

The multiple weed violations?

The known issues with route running?

The fact he didn't show up to OTA's?

Hes been a series of mental errors, which is the definition of derp. Could he turn it around? Sure. But seriously, hes not talented enough to get away with this crap.

stop with the known issues of route running

That isn't known. No matter what you read in a scouting report

Would be nice but he is harder to get then gordon being in the division

In know its very unlikely. I just wondering what people think a hypothetical franchiuse could get him for.

[cm43sports]

A 2nd, 3rd and some later pick or a 1st and something like a 3rd. I know a bunch of people will say much more but fortunately when WRs get traded they never get traded for as much as expected.

I doubt the jags would trade him to anyone he's there best player

[cm43sports]

Weirder and/dumber things have happened lol. Sometimes circumstances change and things that no one would've ever predicted happen. Peyton Manning plays for another team and most colts fans are ok with that now. I'm not sure if they still would want to trade Blackmon but if they did then I would want/expect the Colts to be one of the first teams attempting a move.

[danlhart87]

Colts would line up to throw multiple picks at a division rival?

[backshoulderfade]

If the colts could get Black on with a 2nd plus another pick it would be an absolute steal. Will never happen.

[danlhart87]

It's funny I could post random trade ideas that will never happen all day too but I don't

So are we meant to sit around and talk about how bad/good/indifferent the play calling is. The point of the forum is to speculate on a variety of topics. I, for one, am enjoying the trade speculation.

[NewEra]

I'm wondering how Rogers has looked since being on the practice squad. Had good size, not blazing speed but from what I notice from his highlights is that he catches the ball with his hands. Not a body catcher like DHB likes to do. If he can get his head on straight and get his route running dialed in he could be a starter.

I wanna know too he is a good blocker too so if Reggie can help his rout running he will be a monster

[Legend of Luck]

I honestly am begging for Griff to be brought up to the active roster. 

 

Losing Reggie hurts in many ways, but mostly because of his reliable hands, especially on third down. That is THE skill that Griff possesses above all else. I want his reliable catching ability available to us on every play.

[ColtJ82]

Browns aren't trading Gordon for a second his stock is high, someone like the Patriots or 49ers will give up a 1st for him.

 

1.T.Y

2.DHB

3.Brazil

4.Rogers

5.Whalen

 

With our top 3 will have the fastest WR group in the league. They'll have a few drops but will have a ton of more big plays down field. Brazil proved last year against the Lions that he is a deep threat and we already know what T.Y can do. DHB and Fleener can do the underneath stuff and we can still do screens with Richardson and Brown. I think our offense will be better then a lot of you think. We still have needs at ILB,G,C,CB  were gonna need those picks. Luck is good enough to make it work with our WR's.

I tend to agree with this for the most part. However, T.Y. is not a possession receiver.........we need a possession receiver. Rogers fits that mold (and Brazil to an extent). It won't be popular, but I would be surprised if Mahommed Massaquoi didn't get a tryout. Even though he isn't necessarily a possession receiver, I wouldn't mind Devery Henderson (he is too small really) either. I am just trying to be realistic with the salary cap situation. Wouldn't mind trading for Nick Toon since the Saints aren't using him. These are all just stop gaps. I think the fan base is going to be disappointed because I don't believe we will be bringing in the rising star that they are looking for.......I hope I am wrong.

I really hate the idea of bringing in ANOTHER free agent and I especially hate the idea of trading away more draft picks to get ANY of those receivers that have been mentioned. Nicks, Gordon, Britt etc. dont fit the Colts mold. Plus Nicks is injury prone as it is, and Gordon and Britt are headcases. 

 

I want ZERO part of any of them. We need to develop our current roster of receivers like Brazil and Whalen. They need more in game experience. What a perfect chance to get it.

Greg Little is reportedly on the trading block. He's not very good, but solid #3 and he could be had on the cheap.

Hes not good so lets trade for him. Makes sense.

I said not "very good". C'mon man. Jeez. He's be like a 6th at the most.

[Andy]

I'm really really really really really hoping this is no trade.

 

#1 TY Hilton

#2 Darrius Heyward Bey

#3 Lavon Brazill

#4 Griff Whalen

#5 David Reed

[danlhart87]

It would more than likely be 

#1 DHB (should be #4)

#2 Brazill/Hilton

#3 Brazill/Hilton

#4 and #5 are toss ups pending who comes up Rogers or Whalen

Desean Jackson isn't a possession wr but he's 4th in the league with 610 yards and 5 TDs. T.Y is the same type of player but he's tougher and goes across the middle more then Jackson. Pep has to build the offense around Hilton and i think we will see it.

I guess I am not following your argument here. TY is perfectly capable and can be used as Pep sees fit. You still need a solid possession receiver on your team to move the chains.You need TY to run the routes (intermediate routes) he does to open up the routes for (formerly Reggie).....take TYs intermediate routes and the safeties start to creep up and clog the middle. My point is that we need a solid set of hands who is an excellent route runner.....someone to move the chains.

[gacker65]

I would move Whalen up and play Whalen,Bey outside and Hilton in the slot.

[dudeski]

no way Whalen should line up outside

[Guest TeamLoloJones]

I would move Whalen up and play Whalen,Bey outside and Hilton in the slot.

Why anyone would put Whalen in front of Brazill is beyond me...

[CanuckColt]

I really want to see a trade. Josh gordon or hakeem nicks would be fine.

Hakeem Nicks has both legs shot and can no longer get any separation...according to Giants observers.

[bellboys]

I think the Colts should stick with who they have right now.

There is all this talk about Gordon but there are 3 problems with that:

1. He has character problems and is too much of a risk ( his next suspension will be 1year).

2. If they acquire him via trade they have to pay him his current salary which may be in conflict with current salary cap

3. Giving up another draft pick is too much, especially after giving 1 for Richardson.

Besides, I am not even sure he is that good.

Another name that comes comes up is Nicks but he presents injury risks and he is not in shape. Last night he caught 2 or 3 passes out of 10 passes intended for him.

Back to our guys, they need to step up as Wayne was the only receiver that truly inspired confidence. I am OK with both TY and DHB but with Brazill the jury is still out and currently I don't trust him. I also don't understand why Rogers' name is brought up because he hasn't shown anything yet.

I am a fan of Griff Whalen and I trust his hands and route running more than of other WRs on the roster. I confess that I am a little frustrated with Grigson and coaches that they don't give him a chance. I am still skeptical they will promote him this time but I still hold some hope.

I agree with everything that was said here. Gordon is 1 test away from being gone. Nicks can't stay out of the training room. Whalen deserves a chance to prove himself. let him play in Waynes spot which was the slot most of the time

[bellboys]

What do we think Blackmon would set a franchise back? 1st and mid round picks? More?

This is about as bad as trading for Gordon

[gacker65]

no way Whalen should line up outside

 

Why anyone would put Whalen in front of Brazill is beyond me...

Because we do not speed, as much as consistent play and some one able to handle double teams.

[Stephen]

I would move Whalen up and play Whalen,Bey outside and Hilton in the slot.

Whalen is not an outside receiver. Rodgers brazil hilton dhb are. Also rodgers is good at going up the middle and making tough catches and he is hard to bring down.

you do not need speed to be an outside receiver, but we need some one to replace Reggie and IMO, Whalen is the best option.

[UKColt13]

Ideally?

1. Josh Gordon for this year's 2nd round picks

2. DHB

3. TY

4. Brazil

5. Rogers

But I doubt we make a trade.

[OffensivelyPC]

My ideal WR group would be

#1 Calvin Johnson

#2 Julio Jones

#3 AJ Green

#4 Victor Cruz

 

But since we're dealing with reality, DHB, Hilton, Brazill, Rodgers/Whalen

[CanuckColt]

We don't need to trade for a WR.

All we need is Reggie on the sidelines advising and coaching his young WRs during the games.

 

We need Reggie at the games...I hope he can do this.
