I feel like that was the ultimate troll from Grigson haha. What's that Colts fans? Protect 12? Well how about ONLY linemen

 

I think it's more like Irsay made it clear that they need to upgrade the offensive line during their end of season meetings.

Iowa fan here. If we hadn't already drafted Kelly, I'd say Blythe would be a good candidate to start for us at C. With Kelly though, I think he'll be our backup C. Holmes and Harrison better be worried, because with this pick I don't more than one of  them makes the final 53.

Didn't we already have the short armed Center ...this sounds like AQ Shipley part 2 ... I think Shipley actually had better pro day stats

 

He's basically Shipley. But believe it or no, Shipley is 30 years old and has no room to improve.

True .. but this guy could be even worse ... end of the 7th so not that big of deal ... just an observation we seemed to never really want Shipley than go draft his clone.

I agree with all of that. Just saying, maybe they wouldn't have been so noncommittal on Shipley if he wasn't topped out and almost 30 years old. Getting a younger version of him with some upside makes sense. And like you said, end of the day, it's a late 7th rounder. If he's a PS guy at best, oh well.

    • I think Haliburton playing on the Olympic team is going to help his growth tremendously.     I know we are going to be a tough out whenever, wherever we play for the next few seasons.   Windows open
    • if ar develops as i think he will 2025 looks better
    • https://www.stampedeblue.com/2024/5/28/24166421/pff-lists-colts-starting-tackles-as-top-3-tandem   "Pro Football Focus released their top tackle rankings and the Colts’ duo is one of three teams whose starting tackles are both among the top 16. The Lions (Sewell no. 3, Decker no. 14) and Eagles (Mailata no. 5, Johnson no. 6) are those ahead of them. The Colts’ RT Braden Smith (15th) and LT Bernhard Raimann (16th) may rank the lowest of the three tandems in question, though to be included at all is quite the honor. The floor may have been established with the Colts’ starting tackle duo, but the ceiling these two can reach is undeniably high"
    • The Texans sign Nico Collins to a three-year contract extension, totaling $72 million. That comes after voiding years from Diggs' contract, making him a free agent after this year and paying him $22+ million this year.   https://www.nfl.com/news/texans-signing-wr-nico-collins-to-three-year-72-5-million-extension#:~:text=Nico Collins' breakout season in,max value of %2475 million.   Calvin Ridley signed a 4-year contract with the Titans for $92 million. Too much.   Mike Evans got paid well (2 years, $52 million), but he deserves it. He has played for the same team his whole career and helped them win a Super Bowl. Future HOFer.   Justin Jefferson will get extended too, but it may be for well over $30 million/year. Too much.
    • Yeah I would expect him to benefit from the new coaching staff also. But one of those benefits might be not trying to play him at guard when he's probably not physically suited for anything but center, IMO. That's where he played in 2021, I think that's where he should stay.
