To me, setting aside what Gore can do, being rid of a slow and unproductive Richardson is an upgrade on its own.

I can agree with that, but I was thinking more about the comparison of Gore to why Bradshaw was brought here 2 years ago, and hoping blown tires don't force another bad and desperate decision.

I think we have plenty of backs, and even if Gore doesn't work for whatever reason, we won't need to go hunting for one. I definitely don't think we'll be doing anything like the Richardson trade again, no matter what.

      Colts meet with (draft prospect)

      By Defjamz26 · Posted

      He’s a burner but not the burner that BTJ or Worthy are. However, he’s bigger than worthy. I think he can still stretch the field though, as he’s got more wiggle than Alec Pierce.

      Colts have the 15th pick in the draft. (MERGE)

      If the defensive  player we pick doesn't have a rookie season like Dwight freeney or darious Leonard I don't  want them at 15. Who ever we pick needs to be an immediate impact player. I know Brian thomas jr, odunze, Harrison  or nabors  can be that. Not sure about any of the edge guys or cbs

      Yeah, it was a really good article. One takeaway from me was that it should be obvious why the Browns were (are?) a mess for so long. They weren't aligned, didn't adhere to any principles, indications are they had competing priorities, etc. The Manziel anecdote and the conclusion off of it are pretty telling.

      Thank you for sharing the snippets and I appreciate the perspective.   If one thing is clear, the reason trading back works is because the draft is an absolute crap shoot. That dynamic can support both arguments in my opinion. e.g. more picks = higher chance of getting a difference maker or selling picks isn't that big of a deal because what you're giving away may not be actually worth much anyway. It can play both ways.   If the team has done their due diligence on a player and truthfully has confidence I'm all for going after him, even if it turns out they are wrong. I want to be clear and say I'm not recommending we give up the farm. Hypothetically if this team makes playoffs which would be the expectation, the pick we are selling (assuming it takes a 1 next year) isn't going to be very high to begin with.   Ballard did it with JT...worked out pretty well. I know that wasn't a massive trade up but still the point is, they see a player they like and they go and get him.   To your other point, I would not necessarily be opposed going after a proven play maker like Aiyuk either. Very Buckner esque trade. However, you're then passing up on the salary cap savings + unknown NFL potential for a proven commodity and draft capital. What's worth more is really dependent on who you ask clearly.   It goes back to risk and not one size fits all.  Both strategies can work and both require quite a bit of luck. Seeing where this team is at, where the NFL is going rules wise and the recent examples of QB's skyrocketting after getting a special playmaker, I just think that's what would be best at this time.    Not for nothing, we've done the trade back thing time and time again and people still constantly complain about our roster not being good. It will be fun to see what Chris does next week and how much if at all he's influenced by Shane/Irsay/etc.

      Another, 1st this week. Addressed positions of need excluding edge. Picked Oladapo to transition to coverage linebacker at 6'2" 218 currently, heavy hitter. Trey Taylor looks strong at safety, a thumper, when Kinchens is a ball hawk. Pick #234 Anthony Gould was 1st team All-American as a returner, keeping starters out of harms way, especially with the new kickoff rules.     IND 17. Terrion ArnoldCB Alabama 46. Adonai MitchellWR Texas 48. Kamren KinchensS Miami (FL) 131. Mason McCormickOG South Dakota State 151. Kitan OladapoS Oregon State 159. Hunter NourzadOC Penn State 191. Trey TaylorS Air Force 234.
