If we draft a RB I want Collins

Didn't we draft him last year?  Oh wait, that was a different SEC back who was slow and fumbled a lot.

 

I have confidence that if we keep drafting these running backs in the late rounds we'll get a different result.  (Isn't that the definition of something?)

CJ Prosise

would love Prosise as well....just don't want to spend a 3rd rounder on him.  ..but i certainly won't kill them for grabbing him in RD3....to me, he's the best value at RB.  ...the thing is, i think there will still be very good defensive players available in RD3  ...would prefer to go defense and then go Collins in 4 or 5.

I agree but I think he'll be there in the 4th. Wasn't even the starter last year until someone got hurt. CJ himself was banged up too and missed games. Well see.

Not really,    plenty of great backs have come in the late rounds

No doubt.  I'm specifically referring to OUR drafts.  

 

This regime has truly embraced the diminished RB opinion.  They're going to keep looking for that late round gem.  Hasn't worked yet, so is it a waste of a pick?  Well, we had Ballard for a year so it wasn't a total failure.  But a guy for one year out of three picks is a pretty bad history.

 

Yes, I know the old argument, Brady was drafted in the 6th.  That doesn't make the odds are any better.

I'll take his former teammate, Jonathan Williams

^This. Williams was an animal before his injury and would be a perfect RB to learn under Gore to eventually take over as our feature back. Without the injury, he would've easily been in the 2nd Rd conversation. If he could be had in the 4th-5th, I'd take him.

      What about Leonard at safety?

      Yeah, he isn't signed.

      How many games will the Colts win in 2024?

      By shasta519 · Posted

      I think HOU certainly got better. On defense, they added an All-Pro pass rusher in Hunter and also added Autry. They might have best ER duo in the NFL (though I say that without looking too in depth into it).   On offense, even if Diggs isn't still a great WR, you can do a lot worse at WR3. Nico had a legit breakout and Tank Dell was on pace for 1k+ yard/10+ TDs as a rookie. Even Noah Brown was productive. They have talent and depth there.   They also have a proven TE in Schultz, which I think gives their TE room the edge. Stover is also a prospect I liked. At this point, the Colts TE room doesn't have that TE1.   Colts have the better OL, but HOU is still a top 15 unit, possibly top 10 when healthy (which is the key). They dealt with injuries early last season, but once they got healthy, they were much better.   And at QB, Stroud is the more proven QB at this point.   Have to give them edge on offense overall. On defense, I would have to give them edge as well, due to their secondary. Right now, I think that's a big ? for the Colts.    I really don't see any major weakness, at least on paper. But they do have to face a gauntlet of a schedule, which probably caps their win total. Still, they should be the favorite in the AFCS.   But it's not just HOU, I think TEN is going to be much improved as well. And JAC has won 4/5 games against IND. Just overall, the AFCS should be really competitive, which makes picking up more wins tricky (vs. the past where at least one of those teams was typically bad).

      The only position Maniac can probably play now is on special teams! Put him on KO/KOR/Punt team! I’d kick the tires on that only if it were for vet min!
