I think that's a big gamble.  I expect Funch will be signed by someone before the draft.  And then there are the long odds Claypool will be there by the 5th or 6th round.  If he's that good I would think he would be gone by then.  You know a bird in the hand...

I'm not so sure that a bunch of folks are going to chase Funch. He's a tweener with not-great hands coming off a missed season after being released from the team that drafted him to be a #1. There will absolutely be a market for him, but he's not a top 50 FA, and not a top 5 WR FA. 

 

On Claypool, I've seen many mocks and simulations with him going 4th round through 7th. A few have him earlier, but if I were going to bet, it'll bet at earliest 3rd, but more likely 4th or 5th. There's just so much depth and value this year at WR. I haven't seen him on one top 10 (WR) list. I think the highest I've seen (WR rank) is 13th, but most are in the 17-25 range. Who knows, but he's one I wouldn't be shocked to see in the 5th.

      Colts have the 15th pick in the draft. (MERGE)

      By Two_pound · Posted

      Our defense will never be GREAT as long as we play * defense by having corners 10 yards off the ball on 3rd and 3. And an unbelievable unwillingness to blitz more than 4 times a game. And also, it doesn't matter who is in the secondary if the front seven can't stop the run(we can) and get to the passer(we did ok getting to the passer, but we need more blitzing from lb'ers). Our first pick should be an offensive lineman like Fuaga, Powers-Johnson, or Barton. Then target a receiver like Polk, Pearsall, Washington, Corley, or Roman Wilson in the second or third rounds. As much as I would like to get Bowers I just don't see it happening. And we need a very good linebacker to go along with Speed and Franklin.

      Yeah, could very well be. I think I remember Ballard said he did it to have more flexibility when asked. if it is Paye, I would rather see him play out the year before extending.

      The idea of DeJean going in the late first round is due to his instincts and overall very competent play in nearly all aspects of DB play.  Cover 3 FS is more valuable, IMO, than a cover 2 FS.   Contrast DeJean's overall RAS and talents with Hooker, who was only good at being a single high deep guy...especially his rookie year where he picked off bad QBs for a while...and DeJean at 22 or later with a 3rd round pick gathered from a trade down is a much better decision than Hooker was at 15.   BTW, Blackmon had the same ACL injury as Hooker and did well as an overall S as a rookie, but wasn't a single high speed guy, and is probably still a better overall S now than Hooker is in DAL...both having the exact same injury years ago.

      Irsay denies overdose

      By Superman · Posted

      To the bolded, I don't constantly hear that. I see people say it on the Internet. It was a big thing when we were looking for a HC, how candidates would be scared off because of how the Reich/Saturday thing went, Irsay's meddling, etc. One specific theory was Sirianni would tell Steichen not to take the Colts job. We see how that went.   Does Irsay's history negatively impact the team? I'd like to know if there's any examples where you think it has.

      Some are not understanding this. Have a feeling there will be an upset group after Thursday night. Give AR every opportunity to succeed by surrounding him with weapons. If Pittman was to miss a few weeks, it would be bad. Tbh we should draft offense the 1st and 2nd rounds. Sign a Simmons and a vet corner.
