hard to say. where will any nfl player be in 2-3 years. not for long
he probably ends up being a swing guard. he could compete for fries within 1-2yrs, but ballard has a record of resigning his draft steals. He likely resigns fries to 2-3 years, even with Goncalves on the roster. And like Hoose said, I don't think he's replacing Fries or Nelson any time soon barring injury.
Every QB is a steal if they can win Super Bowl... Or get closer there or conference championships consistently. All other QBs steal money from the franchise.
Problem is, because of very few highly performing QBs, any or all average QB gets paid... guys like Kirk can make volumes of production and continue to get paid while inconsistent QBs will not be with that team long enough to see all that pay.
Yes, he might not end up replacing Fries. And I like Fries. I’ve often reminded this community that Fries this year graded out in the top-40 percent of all guards.
I just don’t think Goncalves is athletic enough to be a long-term RT. I would think the Colts would want someone more skilled, a better athlete, a little longer.
I would be happy to be wrong. But I see the Colts 2025 first round pick being the RT that will ultimately replace Smith.
