Positions that are OK, 

1. QB (Luck should be healthy and ready to go)

2. WR (No need to draft another receiver Ty, Donte, Dorsett, & (Pratice Squad Carter), if you bring AJ back bring him back as a TE/WR----No Coby F. (he can not block)

3. DL is trending in the right direction.  The tackles made by our average ILB's was pretty high.

 

Positons that need to be address

1. O-Line

2. O-Line

3. Pass Rush OLB

4. Corner Back opposite of V. Davis

5. RB

6. doesn't matter

7. doesn't matter

Goodness gracious.

 

Even after 4 years you struggle with Fleener....

 

We did NOT -- repeat, NOT draft Coby Fleener to block.

 

And the added irony is TODAY Fleener caught a TD of about 65 yards.    THAT'S WHY we drafted Coby Fleener.

 

I don't know why this is hard for so many,  but it apparently is......

Yes, (we can go back and forward about fleener), but what is most glaring is the lack of blocking on this team (Andrew Luck and every other QB got hurt because of it) and the lack of a pass rush.

How do the Falcons have a weaker strength of schedule than Indy? Indy played in the worst division alongside the NFC East.

 

We beat the falcons doesn't it go on h2h first? If not its cause they played the NFC east teams.

Lol yeah just making sure  so lemme verify...keep injured prone Allen who's liability to be on the field affects his actual in game blocking > fleener who actually produced in the receiving game and is an average blocker? At this point he surpasses Allen due to Allen never contributing to nothing but sitting on the bench tho bro?

OK man keep Fleener, but it is hard for Fleener to catch these type of TD passes (which is few and far between) when the guy that is suppose to be throwing him the ball is hurt on the sidelines because of a lack of blocking.  I say it again I WAS WRONG KEEP FLEENER.  Sign him to whatever he will demand.  But I hope they draft someone that will block.

Will426 I am verifying keep Fleener.  Just DRAFT, DRAFT, DRAFT some blockers this year.  Think about if Luck have better blocking.  Then Luck has more time to find Coby.  And the more times he (COBY) is targeted, the more dangerous this team will be.  The better this team is the more play-off games this team should play next year.

Welp after a vastly disappointing season Indy still doesn't get great draft position. My hope now is that somehow Jaylon Smith falls to them due to injury concerns and he ends up being their ILB of the future. I'd also be happy with CB Mackensie Alexander if he lasts. The OTs available there wont be worth a 1st round pick in my opinion.

Rams lost, so we draft 18th spot. If we would have lost today, we would have drafted in the 12th spot. Big move down. I know they wanted to win for pags though. If anything it should say to Irsay Grigson is the problem, not pags!

If any firing is done, I'd start with Grigson first.

Yeah I understand that part but that's more on our Oline than the tightends we underutilized them both badly this year due to how horrible this line has been

First pick RG, Second Pick a rush OLB, Third Pick Right Tackle.  This draft I do not want to hear about the best available player.  All I want to hear about is the best available pass blocker, or pass rusher.

 

No Guards worth picking in first round all guards are projected in 2nd round by ranking but their is 4 tackles projected in the first round

If college offenses weren't so gimmicky drafting linemen wouldn't be such an unpredictable science. As it is it is a total shot in the dark with them.

And Fleener has shown some promise, but is he the tight end of the future? I'm gonna have to say no. He still makes some ponderous drops, and the guy literally broke his first tackle last week. He has all the physicals to be a star TE, but I just don't think it's going to happen for him.

Keep him over Allen, for sure. I've never cared for Allen. But if we get a chance at a better TE, it may be worth taking.

Well thank goodness they didn't make the playoffs and have to pick 21st.  /sarcasm

 

Still SMH at all the tanking talk of the last three weeks. 

 

You'd rather have them make the playoffs and be embarrassed and 1 and done? Then on top of that picking about 4 spots lower?

I hate to think about tanking, but regardless, just one more loss, today would have given us the 12th pick or

13th position. We would have flipped coins with Oakland at 7-9. Still, I believe Jaylon Smith will be there at 18th since he will not be available next year until October at the earliest. Many teams need players immediately. I would be willing to wait on him.

Idk, Castanzo was the 22nd pick.

Simple, just by watching this team and the no shows they've demonstrated against quality opponents.

What no shows are you talking about? Take away the Pittsburgh game and we played every quality opponent tough.
