We have no idea who the new coach will be, and that coach will want his own guys.  Given that fact and how this team has performed, the lineup will probably look nothing like it currently does.

But who do you think we are definitely going to keep from the projected starters above?

I think our DL will look the same.  Safeties will hopefully be Hooker and Geathers.  Hopefully Luck will be there.

 DL, OLB's, and safeties.

Hairston will still be our nickel.

I feel that the colts are gonna go with Melvin and Wilson at corner...Unless they get Fitzpatrick in the draft.

ILB'S are gonna be gone. Hopefully Edwin Jackson can provide us with good depth.

 

As far as offense goes, Kelly, Kallis, Costonzo.  

 

What do you guys think about Good? Is he a  good starter?

its hard to say, we cant just look at an obvious need on the roster and say the draft will fix it

 

i dont remember one single person saying we should take a free safety in the first round last year

 

we did draft for need in the second and third round and those guys have barely played this season

A lot of things go into it - who the next coach will be, what our offensive and defensive schemes are moving forward, etc.  It's hard to say.

If I had to put money on it, I'd disagree with the first name on your list. I'm afraid that one is going to be Jacoby Brissett rather than Andrew Luck. I'm betting April 26th will tell the tale on 12's long term prospects, but my gut is not liking the way things are going.

I think we should sign Landry or Watkins or Robinson in FA. One of them with TY, and a draft pick(assuming Moncrief walks)? Pretty good offense.

Disagree. Nothing points to Luck having a career-ending injury. Heck, even the local guys confirmed that wasn't the case.

I’m just praying that Hooker is back & fully healthy next season.  Him making a full recovery will be critical to our growth & success the next couple of years. Him coming back ready to roll like Peterson did is my biggest wish for next season.  I’ll let Ballard handle the rest.

If the Colts got new ILB's (and new DC) I think the defense would actually become pretty good. I think there's quite a bit of talent (minus ILB) but the coaching staff refuses to play to player's strengths. 

 

If we got a real O-Line (Kelly is good) and a true #1 WR, the offense would be pretty good as well.

    • Kool-Aid McKinstry(41), Kamari Lassiter(no.42), Max Melton(43) all have their 3d year completely guaranteed too.    In general it seems like MItchell's contract is middle of the road type of contract. Some got more guaranteed, some less... 
    • Enjoy I'm making an 11 hour trip myself  in November  to get to a colts game.
    • Details from OTC: https://overthecap.com/player/adonai-mitchell/11660   Four years, $7,386,086 total value, $4,817,431 fully guaranteed at signing (65.2%, no info about offsets) Signing bonus, $2,191,700 (prorated to $547,925/year) Salaries for 2024 ($795,000) and 2025 ($1,130,731) are fully guaranteed at signing Salary for 2026 ($1,466,462) partially guaranteed ($700,000) at signing (47.7%)   The #46 pick this year was Jonathon Brooks (coincidentally, the Colts original draft spot), to the Panthers. His contract is only guaranteed for the first two years, total of $4,914,107 guaranteed, which is 58.4% of the total value. At first, I thought this meant AD Mitchell's contract is pretty good, but apparently Brooks' contract is kind of bad. The next pick was Tyler Nubin (Giants), who has nearly all of his third year guaranteed. And last year, the #46 pick was Keion White (Patriots), and almost half of his third year was guaranteed. So Brooks seems to have undercut his guarantees. Some teams hold the line really well, so I was thinking maybe Carolina doesn't want guarantees in the third year, but they drafted Jonathan Mingo at #39 last year, and guaranteed almost half of his third year. Brooks probably could have done better if he had waited a few weeks.   The second round is kind of all over the place this year. There are still 11 guys unsigned, and a good number at the top and in the middle of the round. But all the way up at #40, Cooper DeJean (Eagles) only has $247k guaranteed in 2026, and his total percentage of guarantee is only 62.8%, so his contract isn't as favorable as Mitchell's. And then you have a few guys in the middle of the round -- like Jackson Powers-Johnson (Raiders, #44) and Edgerrin Cooper (Packers, #45) -- who have 2026 fully guaranteed (Cooper's is all but $76k).   But it's all going up. AD Mitchell has more favorable guarantees than Jonathan Taylor did when he was the #41 pick in 2020 (53.9%). Each draft class pushes it a little further than the previous class.
    • Let’s face it that third down catch against Baltimore in 2006 saved the game for us and loudest move on to play give me AFC championship game. He caught it in his elbow for a first down and we kick the subacute field goal which sealed the game. That is my favorite Dallas Clark moment, but watching him, catch the ball and run down the scene for chunk yards. It was amazing.
