First choice is Allen, but he will not likely be there. Let's pretend he is off the board. 

 

Tampa is a good trade suitor for us because they need a corner, safety, offensive tackle, outside linebacker, running back., and receiver. 

 

I would make a deal with Tampa and then take Lamp at #19.

If Allen had a clean bill of health, it would be a no-brainer for me. Although not a popular choice, I`d go with Jabrill Peppers. He`s starting to grow on me a bit. Colts lack playmakers and he`s going to excel somewhere on the field no doubt.

Is Jonathan Allen really expected to be there at 15? I'd be shocked if he was.

 

Disregarding Allen I would go with Barnett or Lamp but I bet CB would go with Conley.

It's a Fanspeak mock..so take it with a grain of salt...but that being said it's what came up. I thought it would be pretty sweet if it was real.

Those would both be so divisive they'd blow up this forum!   

 

Not saying either of you are wrong, I love both guys.  But that Ballard honeymoon would end April 27th for about half of this forum!  It would be hilarious!

Hey, if we could trade down 4 spots, get Forrest Lamp, and also get an extra 3rd, I'd be all over that. If we drafted Peppers at 15 though, I'd be throwing a huge fit, one like the Colts forum hasn't seen since Peyton Manning didn't play in 2011!

But seriously...

 

If Howard is available at our pick, and I am able to ignore the Siren song of picking him, I should have no problem getting something good value out of a trade back. The NYG are built to win a Super Bowl and getting a premier TE like Howard could be the missing piece for the upcoming two-year window. If they want Howard, they are going to have to jump at least DEN...but most likely they will have to jump TB and TEN as well. 

 

If not a TE (since they have OBJ, Marshall and Shepard), the NYG could see a stud RB as the missing piece...and Cook and McCaffrey are the two left on the board. They could play it out and see if one or both are available. But with BAL, WAS and TB possibly targeting them (not to mention another team behind them trading up)...that's too risky. So they just move up and get the guy they truly want. 

 

It plays out like this. The NYG call and offer me their 3rd and 4th round picks (the latter which is now at the end of the round 4 comp picks). Not bad, but not great. DEN, who wants (and needs) a TE and probably has Howard #1 on their board, is on the other line. They say they will beat that and offer me their original 3rd and 4ht round picks. Much better deal. Thinking I probably can't do any better, I get back on the phone with the NYG to let them down gently. But just as I am about to hang up they offer their second round pick AND their 4th round pick.

 

Then I sit back and take McDowell...and have seven picks in the 46-144 range to grab a couple DBs, a couple pass rushers, an ILB, a RB and a TE.

      Wide Receivers are getting paid!

      By smittywerb · Posted

      This contract makes me think about the other receivers who will now get contracts and how are the teams going to go about it:   Jamarr Chase:  he’s definitely getting $28million or more.  I don’t see Higgins staying unless there are numerous reworks and pay cuts from other teammates.  I’m sure Boyd and Burton will be their WR2 and WR3 in the future.  Bengals will definitely pick up his 5th year option, but what will happen in 2026?   CeeDee Lamb:  he’s getting paid also.  He’s gotten better every year and last year was a MONSTER year for him.  Let’s see what Jerry does.  He has Dak and Ceedee to pay and both are going to command some big contracts.     seems like aiyuk is the last one because I’m pretty sure anyone else will either have their 5th year option picked up or have gotten paid.   props to Ballard for getting Pittman paid before the top dogs like JJ set the market.

      Gotcha. Wentz was  one of the most talented qbs in the league based on physical traits. The Colts, in their assessment of Wentz, didn't realize they were not getting the same player mentally. I am not a Wentz apologist but I do,  and said it at the time, the Oline needed to take some responsibility in what he became. He was battered and bruised by the lack of protection and I think the beating he took in Philly and the early one he took with the Colts, knocked whatever was left of a starting qb in that body and mind. The point I am making is this. We can say he is our franchise LT and say he played really well and is deserved of a  big 2nd contract.  If one were just to look at it objectively.  Say fans and Colts media have him rated as a 7.5 and based on Cosell's comments he has him as a 5.0. Do you think Cosell could be so way off in his evaluation of Raimann? That is just what I found interesting. I mean I could say Cosell say that Raimann was say average and go okay, we can live with that. To say that he is not the answer and/or has not panned out is a different monster all together.
