I appreciate that quarterback is the last position that most here care about because Indy won't need one for about 12 more years or so....

 

That said, I always want to keep an eye on the position because it's so important to everyone in the NFL.

 

Brooks has an early top-10.

 

As a Stanford fan I can share with you that he has Kevin Hogan at #7.   Most Stanford people that I know view Hogan as little more than a very, very, very poor man's Tim Tebow.   In other words, a good college quarterback,  but not NFL material.

 

Otherwise,  enjoy the list....

I was worried you were gonna say Hogan should be higher.. Glad you didn't. I like watching him but he's overhyped by many people (I think those who haven't watched him) but I think his stats will improve and some people with box score scout him.

Yeah....  he can put up numbers...   but you have to see him play to realize the limitations of his play.

 

Hogan has learned how to throw deep, and to the surprise of many (especially Stanford fans) the Cardinal has a very good group of wide receivers who can go deep.   So, Hogan can put up some points.

 

But it's against OK college defenses.   He's exposed when he plays better college defenses.   I'm not saying he'll never play a down in the NFL....   just that he shouldn't be viewed as someone with NFL starter material.    That's not Hogan.

Actually it's something we should look into because Hasselbeck's contract is up after this season.

 

I'm not at all opposed to using a 3rd day pick on a QB to back up Luck for the next 4 years.  I don't think Harnish is going to be the guy unless you want Curtis Painter 2.0.

 

Maybe Conner Cook if he falls to us in the 4th round.

Unless something ridiculous happens, there is no way Cook falls to the 4th. He is probably the 3rd QB off the board unless he has some serious regression. He was fantastic at the end of last season.

Huh. . . I havn't watched him so I couldn't say for certain.  I just figured since the link provided put him at the #6 QB.  

 

Anyways we should consider spending a 3rd day pick on a backup QB.

That's just my opinion, I'm not high on Petty, Mannion or Hundley for that matter.

I'm pretty high on Mannion. He has that ideal size and he's played in a pro style offense. In terms of measurables, he is a prototypical franchise QB. I don't know about his arm though, it looks very average and he doesn't have the zip on most of his throws. Throwing motion isn't ideal either.

      Colts Select Laiatu Latu Edge UCLA

      https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/rams-tried-to-trade-up-for-brock-bowers-then-byron-murphy   You seem to be right.

      Colts Select Laiatu Latu Edge UCLA

      By w87r · Posted

      Read this this morning. Thought it was interesting    https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/indianapolis-colts/news/colts-rams-nfl-draft-trade-offer-revealed-rejected/be019bcd2ee81b6ffeb4656e     "This was the rejected trade offer from the Rams to the Colts in the first round:     Rams get: Nos. 15, 191   Colts get: Nos. 19, 99, 154   While that's the kind of deal Chris Ballard would be expected to take in the past, the Colts clearly had an eye for edge rusher Laiatu Latu.   It's clear that it would have taken much more in the offer for the Colts to move off the chance of selecting the prospect they believe was the best defender in the entire draft.   There were a few viable prospects available at the time so it would have made sense for the Colts to trade back.   But this only proves how convicted they were in draft Latu."     Not too surprised we turnt that down as it has us losing on the draft chart by a little bit, but does show the conviction they had in Latu.

      How to Beat the Texans (and every other team)

      By Solid84 · Posted

      Offense wins in the league now and to take it a step further the QB is by far the lost important piece on any team.    So, on offense you need the best possible QB with the best possible supporting cast and on defense you need players who can affect the play of the opposing QBs directly.

      This is definitely an issue. So, either Ballard is A.) Cheap and he doesn't want to spend money on FAs (even with injuries happening) or B.) He can't build a competitive enough team to attract any worthwhile FA's after 7 going on 8 years now.    If AR and the current team can't attract FAs that could theoretically get a starting job at the S position for a year, then we are in big trouble according to the opinions of the players of the NFL. Personally, I think Ballard just avoids FA so much that he doesn't want to bring outside help in. He wants to be known as the GM who builds his team from the draft.   Wish the local media would call him out on this.

      I think the Colts have the money to be competitive for a good free agent safety.  I think bringing in one of them may depend on whether a player like Simmons wants to play for the Colts.  They may be hoping to sign for a team with a better chance of making the playoffs.   So I don’t know if Ballard is making a statement or not?     Hope my answer makes sense to you….
