After the Draft: What we are hearing__on Twitter, Reddit, Podcasts, from fans, on sports radio, etc.By Mitch Connors · Posted
I know what you're getting at and that's also moving the goal post of the point. What is the value of drafting a QB in the 4-7th round if they will never play? There are better uses for that pick and free agency for a backup QB is a better path imo. Plus, wouldn't a 7 year vet QB be better suited to fill all the "other" duties as backup QB than a rookie? If we're only worried about the ancillary benefits of a backup QB (meeting room, starter prep, etc) why not hire a former QB as an assistant to help with all of that? Surely, Josh McNown could help Matt Ryan in that aspect a ton more than Ehlinger right? Plus, it doesnt cost salary cap or picks. -
If Ryan has a couple poor games and the Colts are 1-3, I could see Reich putting Foles in as the starter. Reich has a history with Foles and that has been proven to be a bad connection to have. -
After the Draft: What we are hearing__on Twitter, Reddit, Podcasts, from fans, on sports radio, etc.Yeah. There isn't a silver bullet. So I think people are potentially overstating the impact that Bradley's scheme will have on that particular part of the defense. I think talent and development will have far more of an impact IMO. We also can't forget that one of the benefits of Flus' read and react defense was a top tier run defense. As for the secondary, I hope so too. I think a big part of that will be contingent on Gilmore staying healthy. There isn't a ton of depth after him. On the flip side, the S position now has a lot of depth, especially at the SS position. But I still contend that it doesn't really have a true deep S that can cover really well...and that could be an issue. McLeod will likely play it, so at least there will be a vet presence there. -
I think that expectation is too high. The AFC is a gauntlet this year and getting into the playoffs will be hard enough. But what I think this move does is set them up to be prepared for anything that happens during the season, to ensure they have their best chance of making it to the playoffs.

After the Draft: What we are hearing__on Twitter, Reddit, Podcasts, from fans, on sports radio, etc.I don't think there is a silver bullet. The questions for me are: Will the DL improve including the pass rush? Will the secondary be at least as good as it was last year, hopefully a little better Incremental improvement.
