I'd be lying to you if i said all of our problems were fixed but we are taking a step in the right direction. As you know offense has never really been our problem. Even with the glaring holes in our o line last year we managed to make due. And in my opinion we have gotten better by adding youth to our O line. I do believe we should have kept CJ over Diem but at this point Diem is servicable until one of the rookies or other offensive lineman take his spot. Now going to the defensive side of the ball. Our starting LB core would've been Brackett, Connor and Angerer but with the addition of Sims this mixes up a little competition for the two OLB positions. In my opinion Sims will prob take Angerers. With the new addition of Jamal Anderson that gives us some versatility on the line. He's virtually the same player as Raheem Brock. Not saying hes our savior because he isnt but he should get a chance to spell mathis/freeney and also come in on 3rd downs as a DT. And who knows u never know he might crack the starting lineup. Now at corner im not to sure...Powers needs to stay healthy for a full season. Tryon played better than I anticipated, not sure if he or Lacey will get the other starting corner job. In all honesty i would prefer Trryon over Lacey. At Safety im fine with Bethea and Bullit. There are still some worthy FA'S left. I dont anticipate a big signing due to cap n cash but maybe one more small signing if anything IE. another low risk high reward guy :colts:

I agree, most of my concerns are with the defense. I would like to see some depth at corner and safety. LB should be fine with the addition of Sims and D-line should be ok with the addition of Anderson. I don't see any strong backups behind Bethea and Bullit and other than Powers, I'm not totally sold on any of our corners as starters. Tryon played very well, but I'm not 100% sold on him yet

Yeah, I'm really hoping he returns to his old form. Things will be interesting to watch at camp this year.

For the record, if Jerraud Powers stays healthy, what does everyone think of him? I seem to think he can be pretty special when healthy. Just my 2 cents......

If you ask me, he has the potential to be one of the best corners in the league. He is an excellent player and if he can stay healthy, Pro Bowl is not out of the question. I could see him being one of the top corners in the NFL.

I agree Jerraud Powers is one of the most exciting players on the Colts Defense I hope he stays healthy as the defense really seems to play better when hes on the field

      Poll: 2024 QB prospects

      By stitches · Posted

      I knew I had a favorite last year, but I thought I would be good with whoever the Colts picked... and this was until the odds for the Colts picking Levis hit -4000 or something of the sort about half an hour before the draft and my heart completely dropped. In a way I'm happy the odds-makers completely missed on this one... it showed me how I really felt about those players and made me even more appreciative for us drafting Richardson an hour later.    So... you would be good with any of them... but who do you REALLY want?    On your question... if I had to guess, most Colts fans haven't watched this QB draft extensively. I know I haven't. So his statistical profile doesn't scream 1st rounder so... possibly why not many people really like him. Also keep in mind that this is compared to the other 3. 2 of them have been crowned as the next big thing for a while now and the third one won the Heismann with some exceptional performaces throughout the year.

      My sleepers: (meaning, the kind of players coaches would like to have, more than what consensus big board gives credit to them. Some of them might need couple of years to attain their high potential, if drafted into suitable coaching environment, so a lot depends on that. Some of them have injury concerns too).   Most of them are high IQ players or high-effort, high-motor players - two traits I look for from the Drafted players, list is long but I like these guys.. gonna be interesting to see where they land and how it works out for them in long run.    Payton Wilson, LB, NC State Caelen Carson, CB, Wake Forest Kiran Amegadjie, OT, Yale Maason Smith, IDL, LSU Christian Mahogany, OG, Boston College Max Melton, CB, Rutgers Zak Zinter, OG, Michigan Bucky Irving, RB, Oregon Khyree Jackson, CB Oregon Dylan McMahon, C, NC State (good fit for Browns)  Tykee Smith, SAF, Georgia Ainias Smith, WR, Texas A&M Cam Hart, CB, Notre Dame Michael Barrett, LB Michigan Malachi Corley, WR, Western Kentucky Beaux Limmer, IOL, Arkansas   Kamren Kinchens, S, Miami McKinnley Jackson, IDL, Texas A&M Kalen King, CB, Penn State Justin Eboigbe, IDL, Alabama    Jacob Cowing, WR, Arizona Beau Brade, SAF, Maryland Isaac Guerendo, RB, Louisville Jalyx Hunt, EDGE, Houston Christian (I'm hoping for day 3 Vikings pickup, as Flores could work wonders with him)  Jaheim Bell, TE, Florida State Brennan Jackson, EDGE, Washington State  Delmar Glaze, OT, Maryland Myles Cole, EDGE, Texas Tech Kristian Boyd, DT, Northern Iowa Javontae Jean-Baptiste, DL, Notre Dame Jordan Magee, LB, Temple Myles Harden, CB, South Dakota Jalen Green, EDGE, James Madison (UDFA Target prospect)  Trey Taylor, S, Air Force (UDFA prospect) Eyabi Okie-Anoma, EDGE, Charlotte Qwan'tez Stiggers, CB, Toronto  Sundiata Anderson, EDGE, Grambling State  Daequan Hardy, CB, Penn State (Special Teams, Returner)  Emani Bailey, RB, TCU   As for Vikings, I don't wanna rush to draft QB if the team isn't confident in the guys they could move up in draft range, and I'd like to just draft impact players that build the roster at this point.   Build the team, draft a franchise QB at right time, don't rush and ruin years trying to make someone work out in the NFL.

      If you are relying upon history, does accuracy matter?  I think the reason Smith ended up at RT is because the coaches tried him there out of necessity and he played well, and stayed there due to the coaches wishes.  I don't think that FO guys had much to say about it, because Smith was in fact drafted to be a G, not the RT.  Ballard's own words after day 2 of that draft was that they drafted Smith a bit higher than they had him ranked, because he was the "last remaining starting caliber G on the board".   So it does fit that Smith was not drafted by Ballard or the FO to be a RT...in part because of the measurables and arm length.   Also directing this response to @Matthew Gilbert
