Are there any pass rushers the Colts could trade for?

Yes.  Let's trade the Falcons our 2017 1st round pick for Vic Beasley.  They would do that in a heartbeat.  And Grigson couldn't trade two of his 6 first round picks for former 1st round busts could he?

 

Pass. Maybe you were being sarcastic, but there will be better pass rushers from 10-20 in this draft.

There will be better pash rushers in the 4th round of the 2017 draft than Beasley has been.  One pass rusher that a team is willing to trade will not solve our man roster holes.

What's wrong with Fields and Harris according to the draft guru in 2917 draft? You can  start to build from there (two edge) rushers. Make sure too fire PAGANO AND GRIGSON before the season is over otherwise you'll have soft edge rushers.

I don't think the Colts can wait nearly 900 years to bring in a good pass rusher.

Datone Jones, Alex Okafor?  Maybe someone out of contention would look to move an OLB in their contract year, hoping to get something back as opposed to risking being out-bid in free agency...  But I don't see a true impact edge rusher being available, nor would I support going out to get one on a roster so full of needs.  It may be one or two on the need list, but I'd rather draft one then trade for one.

What about Geneo Grissom? On the Patriots PS right now. 3rd rounder but only on PS. I know the situation reeks of Bjoern Werner all over again but it's worth a try. Worst case scenario, we get a free 3rd round drafted player that we can waive later on.

I think if a team had a pass-rusher that was worth us trading for they wouldn't want to part with him.  and if they did it would be because he is getting older and likely hasn't got much left and they are looking to get a pick for him while they can.  In that case, PASS.  We need younger guys that can still move and don't have the significant injury history and haven't lost 2 steps.  Otherwise, we may as well keep Mathis, right?  At least we know what we have there.  I say wait until the draft.

Give up a 5th or 6th rounder to get Cameron Wake from the Dolphins. He has probably just 1 or 2 good years left, let us see where it goes for us this season. Next season, it is the draft to stock up on pass rushers.

 

I still believe we should have tried to do this. Wake is now playing well for the Dolphins though their secondary is not up to snuff.

      Doyle Article: Comparing Manning's fist 6 games to Richardson's

      will not have to spin a thing. Just gonna sit back and watch you guys hang on every decent play Richardson has and always wish there could be more. Does Vince young come to mind? Supper athletic, strong arm, not much of a QB.

      The Colts, desperate for a long term solution at Quarterback, picked one in a miserable draft for qb,s. Should have went with another left tackle or defense. Should have spent thier money on Carr or Mayfield. this would have locked the position down for at least 5 or 6 years. By then maybe another prospect will come along or at least be in position to make a better decision. For gods sake, who thought it was a good idea to pick a player with so few tools and experience. He is not only a young rookie ,he is new to the position of quarterback in college much less the NFL. Yes he is gifted, he can throw the ball a mile. So could I at 22 years old but doing it in professional football no way.

      I mean, may it take longer for AR to reach his full potential because of his age, rawness, and lack of experience….maybe yes maybe be no, but that’s for any qb.  There’s maybe one qb every few or so years that comes in and is ready to go.  Look at the past 5-10 drafts and you’ll see what I’m saying.  Even Pat Mahomes had to sit before he touched the field.  Trust me, it’s a short list.     NFL fans (and teams alike) have been spoiled with the thought of QBs coming in right away and getting into done when in reality that’s not the case.  ARs timeline/trajectory is going to be very similar to Josh Allen’s and tbh Allen didn’t start to really get it until Diggs came around.  A QBs development is dependent upon not just the qb himself, but the personnel, the coaches, the system.     Question, what would you have done in our situation?  Draft Levis?  I mean, I agree with you, I was one of the people on this board that wanted to do whatever we needed to get stroud, but it didn’t happen.  So We were either going to draft AR or Levis.  And if you didn’t want either one of them then you’re pretty much onboard with a full blown rebuild and waiting until next year because no other qb was worth drafting in the first round.  And to be real, AR would’ve been a top 3 QB in this past draft also.
