I could see Eichenberg stepping in on day 1 and play decently, but those other 2 absolutely need time to develop. Hopefully Tevi ends up playing well and nobody gets thrown into the fire too soon. -

Do I think Smith is going to ask for Quinton Nelson money? No. I don't. And I don't think it will be close, but I've been wrong before. For what it's worth, Ballard has said it this off-season, and I think he has said this every off-season. They monitor their salary structure every day. And not just for the current year. It's projected for that year, and the next, and the next after that. So, for a 3-year window, we have a good rough idea where our money is going to be. Frankly, Kelly has 3 more years on his 4/50. After that, he'll either be re-signed for a 1 or 2 year deal, or will be allowed to leave. And Pinter, or someone else will take over. It's not like you or me or anyone else here have thought of things that Chris Ballard and his team have not. CB doesn't smack himself in the forehead like a V-8 moment! They are so far ahead of us it's not even funny. No one here has thought of anything that they haven't already thought of a long time ago. That's you speaking. And there are some here who agree with you. I'm just not one of them. -
Moosejaw, you are too caught up in your positional rankings. Some players transcend the normal thinking, and certainly, Q is one of those players. He has elevated the entire O-line with his play, and he allows the Colts to have a good vs great LT next to him. He has value far beyond his being a LG, and I would venture to say he would be paid top dollar by every team in the League. If I'm right, and I think I am, then your argument re: Q fails. As for Leonard, although you have a point about him being less than all pro caliber in his pass coverage, you also have to agree that he is the spiritual leader of the D, and brings many other intangibles to his LB play that make him worth a big salary. Should he be the highest paid LB in the league? No. Should he get top 5 $? I'm ok with that. -

I loved it too, but frankly, I was expecting to see and hear from Polian. How hard is it to do a zoom interview these days? I'm assuming he's healthy and would gladly do it. It reflects well on him, so I'm curious why we didn't hear from Bill? I also wish we'd have heard from Edge himself. Was he surprised? Did he know he was going to be our pick? Etc. I love the piece, because it was a big shock when it happened. And the Colts were proved to be right. Mad props to them!! -

I also think the important thing to remember is that linebackers in this system can b found in later rounds. They r basically lighter and safeties playing linebacker. Can we replace Leonard? Probably not. However, I would b willing to draft a 2nd or 3rd round linebacker who maybe functional rather than pay a WSL crazy money.
