WR depth

[SouthernCal]

1. Ty

2. Andre

3. Moncrief

4. Carter

5. Nicks

Is this the 2015 WR depth chart for the colts?

[Nobody]

If we re-sign Nicks I guess.

[CR91]

nicks is a free agent. I doubt we carry 5 wrs anyway

[PrincetonTiger]

I don't think Nicks will be back

[Nobody]

nicks is a free agent. I doubt we carry 5 wrs anyway

There is literally no sense in carrying only 4 WRs. I say we should sign Stevie Johnson or maybe Mike Williams

[#BringBobBack]

i suspect a cheap one year deal FA or a late draft pick to fill nicks spot there

[#BringBobBack]

There is literally no sense in carrying only 4 WRs. I say we should sign Stevie Johnson or maybe Mike Williams

both could be good options have plenty of experience

I agree we have to have 5....but considering the depth in the draft I would expect a mid rd pick at wr....someone that could possilby return balls too. I mean we have no clue what Carter can do for us....could end up a knucklehead too....gotta carry 5.

[21isSuperman]

I don't think Nicks will be back now that we've signed Andre

[James]

1. Ty
2. AJ
3. Moncrief
4. Carter
5. Whalen

6. Draft pick

[backshoulderfade]

We almost definitely will.

[CR91]

We almost definitely will.

 

 

why? we do so many 2 TE sets theres no need for 5 wrs

[That Guy]

As it stands now, I think it's:

 

1.  TY

2.  AJ

3.  Moncrief

4.  Carter

5.  Cribbs

 

(#5 could use some improvement)

[Nobody]

why? we do so many 2 TE sets theres no need for 5 wrs

because if you have 4WRs you are one injury away from being restricted in what plays you run.

[CR91]

not really. do you see us ever go 4 wide?

[Nobody]

not really. do you see us ever go 4 wide?

the point is, 4 is not enough.

[CanuckColt]

We almost definitely will.

Yeah, we almost always have carried 5 WRs on the 53.

[ricker182]

GRIFF WHALEN=GOAT 

 

Enough said.

[backshoulderfade]

Yeah, we almost always have carried 5 WRs on the 53.

Counter intuitive not to when you consider our strengths.

[mattceinicram]

Griff or mid-round draft pick. 

[bsteves]

1. TY

2. AJ

3. Moncrief

4. Carter

5. Whalen

[aaron11]

why? we do so many 2 TE sets theres no need for 5 wrs

we need more than just one or two back up WRs.  5-6 total regardless of how may 4-5 WR sets we run

[NewColtsFan]

1. Ty

2. Andre

3. Moncrief

4. Carter

5. Nicks

Is this the 2015 WR depth chart for the colts?

 

 

I don't see us re-signing Nicks unless he's coming back with a big pay cut.    But I don't see that happening.    He'd be no better than our 4th WR and maybe even our 5th.       He'll go somewhere where he can be some team's 3rd WR and get more catches.

 

The 5th spot will be whoever we take in the draft.     I think we'll take a WR around R5.    This is a very good and deep WR draft class.    We should get a very good WR in the mid-rounds.

[Grigs build the lines plz.]

Whalen > Nicks. Nicks isn't worth the extra coin when we have bigger

issues than receiver.

[Bluefire4]

I say they either take one in the draft or go with Griff.

[HarryTheCat]

Griff or mid-round draft pick. 

I'd rather see them keep Whalen and not spend a draft pick on another WR.  He's at least as productive as anything you could pick up in the late 5th - 7th rounds, and there are some pressing needs on Defense that have to be addressed.  Moncrief was starting to make his presence felt as last season went along, and while Carter is still pretty green, he could turn out to be a contributor.  It doesn't do any good to score 35 points per game if you're giving up 40, so I'm guessing the Colts go all in on defense in the early rounds, and they could still possibly pick up some defensive beef on the hoof in FA.

[esmort]

I am hoping for one in the draft ... AJ short term, Carter ???, Whalen is nothing special/easily replaceable

[jvan1973]

nicks is a free agent. I doubt we carry 5 wrs anyway

when was the time they didn't carry 5?

[MTC]

1) TY

2) AJ

3) Moncrief

4) Duron

5) Dorsett (wishful thinking)

[TheJACKCOLT]

not really. do you see us ever go 4 wide

We always carry at least 5 WRs no matter what we run.

[CanuckColt]

It probably comes down to a draft pick for the 5th WR spot.

[ProblChld32]

We will either draft a WR or pickup a FA or UDFA

[tannurr]

1) Hilton

2) Johnson

3) Moncrief

4) Carter

5) Lankford (Return use mainly)

[indyagent17]

Because of depth and injury.  You have to have at leave 5 wide receivers on an NFL team

[Boiler_Colt]

Draft a slot guy like Lockette or Crowder who can return punts/kicks. Then you have a full time special teamer who can be your situational 5th WR.

[ColtStronger]

Nicks wont be back next year, but once again we have way too much talent at WR.  Everyone that thought Carter was going to be something spectacular will realize somebody in a #4 WR spot and 6th option (like Nicks) can't be utilized enough to be a big star.

[Carlos Danger]

I don't see a need to draft a wr with all of the young guys we already have... No real need to draft a wr5... Whalen or Lenz or somebody can be that guy...

[Luck_Is_Skilled]

1. TY

2. AJ

3. Moncrief

4. Carter

5. Whalen

This.

 

T.Y. = Star

AJ = Legend

Donte = Riser

Carter= Wild Card 

Whalen = Special Teamer

 

There's no need to draft a reciever this year unless it a very late (6th rd) pick to challenge Griff. Our WR Corp hasnt been this promising in some time. Im pumped!

I don't think this years WR core is much better than we thought it was last year. TY is still TY, we all thought Wayne would play well last year, we thought Nicks would be better than he was. AJ is an upgrade over Wayne, Moncreif and Nicks are comparable, but Moncreif has more upside. Who knows what Carter will do. 

 

I do agree 100% with your 5 WR and the role they play. I do wonder though if Carter might return punts?

I would disagree that Nicks and Moncrief are comparable. Moncrief is a downfield threat while Nicks is strictly a possession guy.

Carter is as good as a draft pick and can be brought along very slowly due to our luxury at TE but if he shows ability to gain seperation from DB's we could have our own version of Martavis Bryant.

Unless AJ has fallen off a cliff and Moncrief regresses, both unlikely, we've got some real fire power to work with.
