Hi, Colts Nation! :default_20smile:   2018 NFL Preseason is officially done and completed, so now the Colts and the other 31 NFL teams decide who the players are that will fill the final 53-man regular season roster.

 

Player transactions abound starting tomarrow morning until the NFL mandated 4:00 P.M.  Eastern Standard Time deadline on September 1.

I expect up to 7-8 more trades before then, and that the Colts could possibly replace up to 5 players with waiver wire pickups...  IF... then Pro player department has done their homework on likely player releases and have supplied draft and pre-season tape to Ballard and Reich for review to convince them they are more valuable than the guys already on the roster that they have invested in all summer.

I wish the Vikes would trade some of their assets rather than cut them. They are not going to be able to keep all the DL men and DBs they value. We have a few that I hope to keep but we may have no room for them like Stephen Weatherly, Ifeadi Onegdibo (spelling?), Tashawn Bower, Holton Hill, and some of our WRs like former NFL WR Don Beebe's son.

I'll take Luck for Hunter. :D

 

Seriously, what do you think of our bubble guys? I love Weatherly and would hate to lose him. I like Onegdibo too. I know you liked Holton Hill. And RB Roc Thomas.

 

I read that we are shopping CB Mackenzie Alexander, 3rd year guy.

With our high position in the waiver claim order, I was hoping to snag more than a couple players released by your Vikings. Without even having to trade.  But that works too...  :)

Who has the inside track for Backup QB Siemian or Sloter

I don't know them enough to give informed opinion. I liked Holton Hill a lot in the draft... how has he been? Roc Thomas could be a RB claim for some RB deprived team

I hope it is Sloter. Love the kid.  Siemian has been awful. I think we can cut him and sign someone else or go with just Cousins and Sloter.

Hill has looked pretty good but not as good as the veterans. He gave up a few big plays in preseason but that is expected. I think Zimmer likes him. Yesterday he returned punts and those on the game thread said he looked good. (I don't get all the Vikings games where I am.)

Wouldn't mind Jo Jo at KR and PR if he cleaned some of the late ball handling issues up he had.  Kid is lightning in a bottle.  I think Quan Bray got cut as well. Wouldn't even mind having Quan back on KR and PR.

Q. Bray was released today as part of the Texan cuts.

    • I’m getting ready also I switched from 12 ounce beers to 16 ounces Lol 
    • Biggest takeaway from episode 3 -- the reason they left in the middle of the night was that the city of Baltimore was about to vote to force the Colts to stay through Eminent Domain.
    • Let us not forget that there are also other ways of acquiring Pro Bowl and All Pro players besides drafting them.   2018 - Pro Bowl TE Eric Ebron (free agent 2018) 2020 - All Pro DT DeForest Buckner (trade 2020); All Pro ST George Odom (UDFA 2018) 2021 - Pro Bowl DB Kenny Moore (free agent 2017); 2nd team All Pro ST Ashton Dulin (UDFA 2019) 2023 - Pro Bowl DT DeForest Buckner (again); Pro Bowl QB replacement Gardner Minshew (trade 2023)
    • Don’t know if it really says a lot about anything? I mean he’s neck and neck with Veach who’s won 3 Super Bowls in 7 seasons. Also, I’m not sure Veach should be credited with Mahomes - it was Dorsey who drafted him.    I do think a lack of star power has been a trademark of the Ballard era though. 
    • I ran across this analysis on Reddit showing Ballard having the second-lowest rate per year of drafting Pro Bowl players among NFL GMs with a tenure of at least five years. I was kind of surprised by it, but it fits the narrative of him putting together a solid team, but one that's mostly lacking in superstars. I hope this improves with the results of our promising 2023 and 2024 drafts.      The GMs Chris Ballard, Colts (7 seasons) All-Pros drafted: Quenton Nelson, Shaq Leonard, Jonathan Taylor (3) All-Pros per season: 0.4   Eric DeCosta, Ravens (5 seasons) All-Pros drafted: Justin Madubuike, Patrick Queen, Devin Duvernay, Kyle Hamilton (4) All-Pros per season: 0.8   Jon Robinson, Former Titans (7 seasons) All-Pros drafted: Jack Conklin, Derrick Henry, Kevin Byard, Jeffery Simmons, AJ Brown (5) All-Pros per season: 0.7   Brian Gutenkunst, Packers (7 seasons) All-Pros drafted: Jaire Alexander (1) All-Pros per season: 0.1   Brett Veach, Chiefs (7 seasons) All-Pros drafted: Patrick Mahomes (thank you u/darcys_beard), Mecole Hardman, Creed Humphrey, Trent McDuffie (3) All-Pros per season: 0.4   Brandon Beane, Bills (7 seasons) All-Pros drafted: Tre White, Matt Milano, Josh Allen, Wyatt Teller, Taron Johnson (5) All-Pros per season: 0.7   Jon Lynch, 49ers (7 seasons) All-Pros drafted: George Kittle, Fred Warner, Nick Bosa, Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, Talanoa Hufanga (6) All-Pros per season: 0.9   Chris Grier, Dolphins (8 seasons) All-Pros drafted: Xavien Howard, Jakeem Grant, Minkah Fitzpatrick, Jason Sanders (4) All-Pros per season: 0.5   Jason Licht, Buccaneers (10 seasons) All-Pros drafted: Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Devin White, Tristan Wirfs, Antoine Winfield Jr (5) All-Pros per season: 0.5   Les Snead, Rams (12 seasons) All-Pros drafted: Janoris Jenkins, Greg Zuerlein, Alec Ogletree, Aaron Donald, Todd Gurley, Pharoh Cooper, Cooper Kupp, Kyren Williams, Puka Nacua (9) All-Pros per season: 0.8   Howie Roseman, Eagles (14 seasons) All-Pros drafted: Brandon Graham, Jason Kelce, Fletcher Cox, Lane Johnson, Jordan Poyer, Carson Wentz, Jalen Hurts (7) All-Pros per season: 0.5   John Schneider, Seahawks (14 seasons) All-Pros drafted: Earl Thomas, Kam Chancellor, Richard Sherman, Bobby Wagner, Russell Wilson, Tyler Lockett, Michael Dickson, DK Metcalf (8) All-Pros per season: 0.6   Stephen Jones, Cowboys de facto (14 seasons) All-Pros drafted: Sean Lee, Dez Bryant, Tyron Smith, DeMarco Murray, Travis Frederick, Zack Martin, DeMarcus Lawrence, Byron Jones, Ezekiel Elliott, Dak Prescott, Leighton Vander Esch, Cee Dee Lamb, Trevon Diggs, Micah Parsons, DaRon Bland, Tyler Smith (16) All-Pros per season: 1.1   Kevin Colbert, Former Steelers (22 seasons) All-Pros drafted: Antwaan Randle-El, Troy Polamalu, Lawrence Timmons, LaMarr Woodley, Maurkice Pouncey, Antonio Brown, Cam Heyward, David DeCastro, Le'Veon Bell, TJ Watt, Diontae Johnson (11) All-Pros per season: 0.5   Mickey Loomis, Saints (22 seasons) All-Pros drafted: Jamaal Brown, Reggie Bush, Jahri Evans, Carl Nicks, Malcolm Jenkins, Thomas Morstead, Jimmy Graham, Cam Jordan, Terron Armstead, Michael Thomas, Alvin Kamara, Ryan Ramczyk, Trey Hendrickson (13) All-Pros per season: 0.6   Bill Belichick, Former Patriots (24 seasons) All-Pros drafted: Tom Brady, Richard Seymour, Asante Samuel, Dan Koppen, Vince Wilfork, Logan Mankins, Stephen Gostkowski, Matt Light, Jerod Mayo, Matthew Slater, Sebastian Vollmer, Devin McCourty, Rob Gronkowski, Marcus Cannon, Chandler Jones, Dont'a Hightower, Jamie Collins, Nate Ebner, Joe Thuney, Jake Bailey, Marcus Jones (21) All-Pros per season: 0.9
