Tamper Away

[GusBus24]

It's tampering time! Who do you want the colts to talk with today? 

[buccolts]

So, it's rumor time, then, also, correct?

I don't get why people think that is or number 1 priority. They are easier to come by then a top pass rusher, linebacker, or top corner!

What pass rusher or LB are realistic for us?

nah, 3-4 nose tackle is one of the hardest positions to fill in the nfl

 

especially if you want more than a jag

 

i dont think it should be a huge priority for us right now though.  i would rather spend resources on an ilb or corner too

[aaron11]

i have cooled on drafting cook a little bit, but i still wont be mad if we get him

 I don`t understand why you think it is anyone`s #1 priority.
 But we have STUNK there for so long (Goose) that i can see why any knowledgeable fan

would really like to see the middle of our run stopping Pathetic D finally FIXED! lol

I'd love an ILB also. I'd usually agree on CB, but not with this draft.

It's a numbers game too don't forget.  You can add a FA NT at a decent price  while drafting  CB and OLB and only paying rookie salaries for them.   FA's at OLB and CB are going to cost upwards of 12-17 a year for good ones.

 

That's why building in the draft and upgrading through the draft is always better than signing high dollar FA's

 

Then once you have the core you can add and upgrade each year in the draft as players hit contract years.

 

 

 

[PeterBowman]

think this could be the thread for anything involving who the Colts would be interested in and who might be interested in any of the Colts FA's?

That's really just conjecture though.....  no real stated interest

I agree and yes he would be a good fit, but not much to go off of

That doesn't mean there is interest from either side though.

I know but he has been talked about a lot by the Colts and considering our new GM came from KC I would say we have a good shot

nothing, it was off topic

 

i would be looking at inside line backers today.  we can not roll with what we have now next season, and we might miss the good ones in the draft

[bananabucket]

I demand rumors

really hasn't been any rumors about ANY teams or FA yet, except the Cowboys going after Kenny Britt to be their #3 WR......

[GusBus24]

Sounds like Tampa is Tampering with Desean Jackson! That be a nice combo with him and Evans down there.

Exactly while I have no problem with brining in Poe all this is is a writer saying the Colts would be a good fit for him, probably based on Ballard being GM and the Colts need of help on defense.  There is nothing there to say the Colts want Poe or Poe wants to come to Indy.

[gacoop1]

What's the attraction on Poe.  2016 stats, 18 tackles, 1.5 sacks.  Really a difference maker? Let's wake up and smell the aroma.  Need impact players..

A true NT is extremely hard to find. The reason Dontari Poe went so high was because everyone knew that you'd probably never find a NT with those measurables and skill set for awhile. Finding a 10 sack guy isn't entirely difficult but JJ Watts and Justin Houston's are rare. And there really aren't anymore true shutdown CBs around anymore either. LBs are easy or hard depending on what you're looking for.

[WarGhost21]

I'm looking at Nick Perry and Zach Brown. Hoping we can snag both and grab Haason Reddick in the first and the Jordan Willis in the third. Creates a young, talented linebacking core for the foreseeable future!

[Robin]

Don't want Poe, the Chiefs fan don't mind him walking.. that should tell enough

[MTC]

Don't expect many reports to leak of players signing to such teams. The NFL was really upset over it last year.

With the measurables & college productivity that Jordan Willis showcased I don't see him making it out of the 2nd Rd.

The dude is a monster. Anderson, Poe and Langford could be awesome together. Add some pass rush, another CB and Jabrill Peppers.

Signing Poe could be a big mistake:

[Dark Superman]

Don't see why Jabrill Peppers is projected to be picked from 25-32. I'd take him at 15. I really love Dalvin Cook. I wish McCaffrey was there for us in round 2.

I'd be happy with Brandon Williams from Baltimore.
