Would you? (just for fun)

[rock8591]

Would you have the Cowboys OL...

 

if it hypothetically means we won't have the following players: TY, Moncrief, Dorsett, Gore, Andre Johnson, Allen, Fleener?

Yes

[rock8591]

I'm undecided personally. Good OL, but we'd pretty much be screwed for any skill positions.

 

WR: Griff Whalen, Duron Carter, Da'rick Rogers (perhaps)

TE: Jack Doyle, Sean McGrath

RB: Josh Robinson, Tyler Varga

 

IMO I'd take my chances if such a hypothetical situation was available.

[BigQandTheManiac]

Then who would we have on offense???

[jvan1973]

Pick up two of the cowboys skill guys they have to drop to get to 53

[Andrew Luck's Beard]

No, but if we could keep TY and Moncrief, yes.

[esmort]

Yes, much easier to find good (or at the very least average) receivers in draft and free agency, and plug almost any RB in behind that line.

[Track Guy]

That is pushing it. Let me keep "Crief, Dorsett, and Fleener and it's a deal.

[rock8591]

Yes, much easier to find good (or at the very least average) receivers in draft and free agency, and plug almost any RB in behind that line.

 

True, I would have been comfortable plugging even UDFA RB behind that line.

[RealityIsLuck]

I'm split.

 

Half of me say sure, get the OL tank this year and grab a great WR like Treadwell or RB like Elliott then grab more playmakers later in the draft similar to our 2012 class. 

 

The other half knows this team is close enough to a super bowl, and that we can grab another lineman or two in the draft/free agency and our O will be set.

[peytonmanning18]

I'd give up TY for the Cowboys offensive line in a heartbeat.

[21isSuperman]

Yes, I would.

[NorthernBlue]

Nah. Lemme keep one of Moncrief or Dorsett and one of the TE's. That way we still have SOME reliable skill position guys. If I had to be specific, i say keep Dorsett and Fleener. I love Moncrief but I think Dorsett has the higher upside. And Fleener over Allen. Allen is a great blocker but that's not really needed if you have the Cowboys Oline.

 

And I like Rob and Varga. I like em even more behind that O line

So theoretically, my starting O would be:

QB: Andrew Luck

RB: J Robinson

WR1: Dorsett

WR2: Carter (or Whalen)

TE1: Fleener

TE: Doyle

That's not TOO bad for skill positions. Plus, it's still really young. No one older than 27

[ColtsfaninTexas]

We'd have to trade Pep too, can we get Bill Callahan or Lane Kiffin? 

[Hoosiernsavga]

This is so easy, YES!!!

I guarantee that we would be a better football team with Luck playing behind the Cowboys OL without our skilled position players.

You give Luck time in the pocket something he hasn't had the luxury of having yet, and he will beat you 98% of the time with a decent or mediocre WR corp and RB.

[Colts_Fan12]

Yep I would

[NewEra]

Yes

[Hoosiernsavga]

If the Colts did have the Cowboys OL before the draft at least the Dorsett pick would have been justified!

[BigQandTheManiac]

Only if we go out and trade for some other WR as well. Who are we gonna get the ball to??? Whalen?? Carter??? You gotta be kidding me. Luck is no Peyton. He's not gonna make average Or below average WRs look great like Peyton did. And that's NO knock on Luck, just saying.

[Colts_Fan12]

Can I keep moncrief and Allen if I let them keep their LT

[pacolts56]

Heck.....just for the sheer novelty of seeing a Pro Bowl OG in a Colts uniform I might make that trade.

[MrNLM]

I would do it without hesitation in a hypothetical world... no risk when you look at it like that.

[OffensivelyPC]

Impossible to say...

[Grigs build the lines plz.]

Absolutely!

[Steamboat_Shaun]

It's so bizarre that everyone (including myself) unanimously uses Dallas as the measuring stick for a great NFL offensive line, yet Tony Romo ends up on the disabled list every season. But after watching the past 3 weeks, we've been soooo sloppy up front.

 

This is a really tough question by the way. I'd be willing to give up 3 playmakers for their interior, not naming any names though, it's too difficult to decide who to let go of.

[New Zealands #1 Colts Fan]

Yes.   pick up a couple of skill position in next draft to join dorsett robinson doyle. Maybe add a free agent as well and we would be laughing

[2006Coltsbestever]

I would except I need to be able to keep TY or Moncrief. Not both but 1 of them.

[NewColtsFan]

Would you have the Cowboys OL...

 

if it hypothetically means we won't have the following players: TY, Moncrief, Dorsett, Gore, Andre Johnson, Allen, Fleener?

 

Yes.

 

It's easier to find decent receivers than it is to find the o-line talent that the Cowboys have.

 

I'd make that trade......   and for the record,  I love all the guys you're willing to give up.   But the Dallas o-line is rare and special.

[2006Coltsbestever]

I would give up TY, Andre, Fleener, Allen, and Gore. That is a ton actually. TY would be the key in that trade for Dallas to make it fair for Dallas + Fleener and Allen are 2 Good TE's, Witten is older. Gore still looks good too and Dallas doesn't have a big name RB. I would want to keep Moncrief and Dorsett though, I mean we still would be giving up 5 quality players and TY by my suggestion.  

[ThaCaliColt]

We keep T.Y., Gore, then yes. Otherwise, that is absurd. We're giving up all of our star receivers, TE's and RB? 

[HungarianColtsFan]

Would you have the Cowboys OL...

 

if it hypothetically means we won't have the following players: TY, Moncrief, Dorsett, Gore, Andre Johnson, Allen, Fleener?

 

No. I'd take their interior line and keep our skill players.

[UKColt13]

Done.

Quality skill players are easier to come by than quality O-linemen. We could use the draft next year and FA to reaquire some skill players especially at WR as I think I'd be comfortable playing Robinson and Varga behind that line.

[JPFolks]

Yeah, it's a false argument.  If you gave us Terrance Williams, Joseph Randle and Witten then perhaps.   

[Chucklez]

Then who would we have on offense???

 

Luck with time to throw the ball, that's who.

Who was Edelman before Brady?

Who was Blair White before & after Peyton Manning?

A franchise QB can make a good WR out of an average one, especially if he has time in the pocket to pick the defense apart.

 

[Valpo2004]

No I don't think I would.  Although at this point I wouldn't have a problem with getting rid of Johnson.

[Smonroe]

Would you have the Cowboys OL...

 

if it hypothetically means we won't have the following players: TY, Moncrief, Dorsett, Gore, Andre Johnson, Allen, Fleener?

 

All six or seven of them?  In a heartbeat.
