If I Was The Colts I Would...

be on the phone right now with the Dolphins trying to package Clark and addai for their first overall pick. If the Colts think Miami clearly has a shot at getting Manning I believe this is a no brainer for both clubs. It has widely been stated that the Dolphins are in need of a tight end seeing that Fasano is a fossil and not really that good. Also Thomas last year was a disappointment and Addai might be a good compliment to Bush. I think the Dolphins would surrender their first overall for this two player package deal to surround familiar faces with Manning considering the Dolphins would want a 3 year run at superbowl on an all in mode. Colts need to strike while iron is hot. Gets these guys off our books and get something in return while we can. Especially Clark as his deal up next year and no way we bring him back

If this would happen I believe we could use the Dolphins pick to either snag Michael Floyd WR Notre Dame or Barron safety from Bama

Miami would be absolutely braindead to make that trade. No way are Clark and Addai worth a high 1st rd. draft pick, im not sure Miami would take that deal if the Colts threw in Freeney also. Fans always overvalue their teams players and think they can get a big return on them but the reality is that what the fans think they should get in return is never what they would actually get in return.

Build on the defensive side of the ball first. Spend 2-3 years overhauling both the system and talent. Then, In 2-3 years as Luck begins to peak, flood the offensive side of the ball with talent in a push to create a Super Bowl type team. In fact, I think that is exactly what this new management cast is set up to do. The old model for the Colts is over there in the trash can. Will a new model work?

      Colts Select Laiatu Latu Edge UCLA

      Colts Select Laiatu Latu Edge UCLA

      By w87r · Posted

      Read this this morning. Thought it was interesting    https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/indianapolis-colts/news/colts-rams-nfl-draft-trade-offer-revealed-rejected/be019bcd2ee81b6ffeb4656e     "This was the rejected trade offer from the Rams to the Colts in the first round:     Rams get: Nos. 15, 191   Colts get: Nos. 19, 99, 154   While that's the kind of deal Chris Ballard would be expected to take in the past, the Colts clearly had an eye for edge rusher Laiatu Latu.   It's clear that it would have taken much more in the offer for the Colts to move off the chance of selecting the prospect they believe was the best defender in the entire draft.   There were a few viable prospects available at the time so it would have made sense for the Colts to trade back.   But this only proves how convicted they were in draft Latu."     Not too surprised we turnt that down as it has us losing on the draft chart by a little bit, but does show the conviction they had in Latu.

      How to Beat the Texans (and every other team)

      Offense wins in the league now and to take it a step further the QB is by far the lost important piece on any team.    So, on offense you need the best possible QB with the best possible supporting cast and on defense you need players who can affect the play of the opposing QBs directly.

      This is definitely an issue. So, either Ballard is A.) Cheap and he doesn't want to spend money on FAs (even with injuries happening) or B.) He can't build a competitive enough team to attract any worthwhile FA's after 7 going on 8 years now.    If AR and the current team can't attract FAs that could theoretically get a starting job at the S position for a year, then we are in big trouble according to the opinions of the players of the NFL. Personally, I think Ballard just avoids FA so much that he doesn't want to bring outside help in. He wants to be known as the GM who builds his team from the draft.   Wish the local media would call him out on this.

      I think the Colts have the money to be competitive for a good free agent safety.  I think bringing in one of them may depend on whether a player like Simmons wants to play for the Colts.  They may be hoping to sign for a team with a better chance of making the playoffs.   So I don’t know if Ballard is making a statement or not?     Hope my answer makes sense to you….
