Could we take a look at Tashaun Gipson?

He has a 2nd round tender at Cleveland. Meaning we can negotiate with him but if we come to a deal, the Browns have a right to match it. If they refuse to match it, then we would sign Gipson but give up our 2nd round draft pick next year.

 

I don't see why somebody hasn't already made him an offer. He is more than worth a 2nd round pick. He is 24, former pro-bowler. Only Richard Sherman has had more INTs since the beginning of the 2012 season than him. He is the very definition of a ballhawk.

 

If we agree on a deal with him, great. If the Browns match then it eats their cap space and costs us nothing. If not then we have spent a second round pick in a position of need, on a player who fits our scheme, and is a proven producer.

 

I'm honestly just venting here. But I can understand why the Colts didn't, with the contracts we're going to have to give out soon. But I'm surprised somebody hasn't.

I think we should grab Tartt in the 3rd/Geathers in the 5th/6th and Amos in the 4th/5th. That could possibly give us our fs and ss of the future.

Colts should draft 3 safeties in what is largely considered the worst safety draft in a long time. Now that's just smart.

Are these just suggestions or you want all three?

Sorry what I meant is either Tartt or Geathers for our SS spot and Amos for FS. Not all three. And I can't help that we have little depth at the position. 2 safeties for depth/potential starters isn't a bad idea.

Ahhh ok thanks for the clarification, i completely agree we should def target a Safety within the first 3 rounds.

      Kind of seems like you're setting up a litmus test for whether a reporter is "good" or not based on whether they do this thing you don't like. So maybe you could share some well-respected media in your opinion -- sports would be most relevant -- and then we could share some examples.    I agree that the best practice would be to reach out to the subject for a response. But if the subject declines or doesn't acknowledge the request, now what? Add a line saying 'subject declined to respond,' and now the unnamed sources are viewed with more legitimacy?

      You want a pricey decending player, Ballard needs ascending players for our next SB run in a year or two. Simmons would be a waste here.   Cross over performed his last couple games Hawkeye, maybe you should lighten up Francis. Besides, Ed Reed couldn't cover both sides of the field when neither of his corners could cover deep. That is where the heartache is coming from again.

      Give me an example of that. A report by a reporter from a legit news organization that doesn't at least attempt to give the subject a chance to respond. I think you can find bad journalism examples of what you're saying is common, but I don't think you can find good journalism examples - by which I mean examples from well-respected reporters and well-respected media. What you're suggesting is okay definitely isn't okay based on what they teach in journalism schools.

      I just read the article again to see the structure. You probably are right. It looks like he's starting to list the players in the ranking with quotes from scouts and it just cuts out at some point in the Harrison part and you have to pay for the rest.   So yeah... Please ignore my semi-conspiratorial allusions above. That's my bad.   Still not sure how ethical it is to post such disparaging comments about the character of a young player when those quotes are coming from scouts that might have conflict of interest in sharing such information before the draft.

      To the bolded, reporters share unfavorable quotes without a response from the subject all the time. In that case, it's up to the consumer to contextualize, and unfortunately, the way we consume media generally doesn't lend itself to proper contextualization.   Just look at this thread for the last few posts. We're trying to find an article that we've all seen referenced, but in reality, I don't think any of us have actually read it, because it's paywalled. What we've read is clips and aggregations, and now we're debating about whether the report was responsibly shared.
