Seeing we need a safety if we move away from Geathers, what is the thought of bringing in the honey badger? Does he fit this scheme? Is he durable? What is his worth gonna be? Weakens a foe. 

 

Whats the thought here as all I see is many point to the giants safety FA to be guy?

I belie Mathieu has had mostly a good solid season for Houston.   The reports I've seen say they expect him to be re-signed by the Texans.

 

But Mathieu is 185 pounds.    Gaethers is 220.     One is not going to replace the other.

 

We could use him,  but likely not at the Gaethers spot.    Suspect he'll want far more money than Ballard would want to pay him.

I've never thought much of him in the NFL. He's looked bad in the 3 games they've played the Colts this year. 

 

I agree we may need a new SS but I would lean toward drafting one. Farely is a RFA I believe so could be easily brought back for depth.

I have really liked Farley. Health is his issue too though.

No to Mathieu. Clowney is a talent but won't likely be available. But I wouldn't be unhappy with the Colts making a run at him. I think the untapped potential in that guy is large. 

I think the biggest win on signing Clowney would be taking him away from the Texans the next 5-10 years. I don’t see the Texans letting him go, at least not this offseason. He likes it in Houston, and I think he resigns knowing his numbers will be greater playing opposite JJ Watt.

      What MHJ does or doesn't do isn't really relevant to my point.

      When Marvin has 90-100 catches next season and over 1000 yards as a rookie + turns Murray's career around, I want you to remember this post assuming the Cards do take Marvin.

      It depends on how good AR will be, if he is good we can win 11 with the help of another great player, we won 9 with Minshew, should have been 10.

      Gotta have a trade partner.Big ? Is would Arizona trade back that far knowing they’re gonna miss out on one of those top 3 Wr’s.I would also call New England and Los Angeles too.I don’t see MHJ getting past the 4th pick unless a Minnesota or Denver trades up for one of those top QB’s.I also don’t see the Giants if they stay put at 6 not taking Nabors I think that’s who they got they’re eyes on with that pick.

      Ballard pre-draft presser

      I think this probably isn't an objective viewpoint. I think you want fireworks, and you're an eternal optimist. Nothing wrong with that, but I think a more practical viewpoint is to acknowledge that taking huge chances isn't exactly a recipe for success. (You're going to point to examples that worked out; I'm going to counter with twice as many that failed.)   The bolded especially. First, it seems like you chose 11 games because you feel like that's the target to keep up with the Texans. Second, I don't think the Colts are one player away from keeping up with the top tier of the AFC. I think a lot has to go right for the Colts to be in the mix with the Chiefs, etc. I said at the beginning of the offseason, I think we're still one draft class away from being in those discussions.   But if you can talk yourself into one guy being the answer, just one playmaker holds the key for the Colts to be in contention, then yeah, identify your favorite prospect and bang the table for the Colts to do whatever they have to to get that player. That would be awesome for us. But I think the reason Ballard doesn't do that is because it's flawed team building (historically speaking), not because he's afraid.. You can promise steak dinners based on your hunches, but that's not exactly how I want the GM to make decisions.
