Lets say we try him at Linebacker his final year of the deal and it DONT work out, well we just paid a guy 19 million for a position he couldnt handle (keeping in mind we dont know if he can at this point), well hes going to be a free agent at the end of this last year, we could resign him but why if he didnt work in our new system before? so only option from their would be to let him walk and we get nothing and took a major cap hit for a guy that didnt workout in the new scheme

if a guy like Maurice Jones Drew bounces outside towards his linebacker position, are you willing to bet 19 million he can make that tackle on a guy like Maurice Jones Drew? Im not but I think what it will really come down to at the end of the day is the money as it always does

Totally agree Freeney is horrible against the run and his 14 mill more against the cap since 5 mill bonus is paid is crazy.Risk not worth the reward here and im a huge Freeney fan ask my 8 kids.Id rather get a 3-4 LB NT and a corner for that scratch or push money til next year when we have what 62 mill cap space and like 500k now makes no sense.

Why does ev1 think WR is a need?We have WRs we dont have NT or CB or TEs?Wr at 2 makes no sense grab streeter in 4th carry on.Needs at WR ? We have wrs we do not have CBs.Or NTs or route running TEs them are needs WR is a want.

It does make sense if the BPA is a WR and when we don't have a legitimate #2 receiver. What do you think garçon was? He was our #2 and since he is gone there's a hole there. Donnie Avery isn't the answer there. That's why he's an option. We are decent at DB, but we do need to draft one. We don't have to go with one in the 2nd round if they aren't worth the 34th pick. We can get one in the 3rd round as still be fine. Rucker, Thomas and Powers should perform better in this defense instead of laying off in cover 2 all the time. Just cause cover 2 all day made our CBs look bad doesn't necessarily mean they're horrible DBs. They were told to play in a way that wasn't beneficial to them and it made them look bad. CB is a need, but if the best CB available at 34 is a reach and say a WR, TE or DL is there and is not a reach and is a great pick for where we're at we shouldn't reach for the CB.

Totally agree. We need a NT, TE & CB way more than we do a WR.

If I may make a prediction...I see the Colts trading down to get more picks if the EXACT guy that they are looking for is not available. Let's face it, we have lots of holes to fill and the more new faces we see, the more likely we are to find strong contributors (if not starters). Outside of the #1, I'd venture to say that anything is possible.

By the way, Luck looks pretty incredible.

Can someone explain why we have the second pick in the second round and the Rams pick ahead of us with the 33rd and we have the 34th pick? I thought we would have the first pick of every round.

The Colts and the Rams both finished with the same record, but the Colts got the number 1 overall pick because their strength of schedule was weaker, but since they both finished 2-14 they alternate the first pick in each rd..

1st rd. - Colts

2nd rd. - Rams

3rd rd. - Colts

4th rd. - Rams

and so on.

I believe the Colts will make offense a priority in the draft.........they have more good players on defense right now than offense.....

They signed Avery to a one year contract (I think)....tells me they aren't really sure what they're going to get with him....Collie' had multiple concusions....he gets his bell rung one more time his career could be over........I look for them to take a WR and a TE in rounds 2 and 3......

      Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul

      By 2006Coltsbestever · Posted

      Less than 2 months away when the greatest crushes this Jake Paul guy. Tyson in 3. Tyson is getting in great shape, he looks fast and strong as of now.    When I list boxers where they rank all-time, I go by peak. You have to when it comes to boxing because most fighters Don't last long. Mike Tyson from 1985-1995 only lost once in 10 years. His record in that time frame was 43-1 37 KO's. Buster Douglas KO'd him in the 10th round in a fight where Mike didn't even train for and Mike Actually KO'd him in the 8th, Douglas got a 13 count.    Notable wins in that 10 year frame.   Berbick Holmes but he was old. Tucker  Spinks Bruno Ruddock (twice)

      I'm excited about our future. I think Ballard put together 2 very nice drafts in a row. Never thought we would get Latu, thought we had a better chance at Bowers. Still holding out hope for Cross, he flashes greatness than dissappears, hope he's consistent. Hope Woods takes lead in TE room. I keep writing off Granson, but he keeps impressing. Even if Richardson has a mediocre season I think the team around him could get us to 10-7.

      Harrison Butker's shocking speech, Chiefs probably not going to 3 peat

      By VikingsFanInChennai · Posted

      I think you understood his words in a "positive" way, but that's not what he said.   He DID NOT say that "most of you would choose to get married..."   That's your implication. Of course, only women can bring children in this world and most of the women will choose to be married and have children, but that's not exactly what he said.   He said, "doing so - while some others will go on to lead successful career in the world - will take you closer to God's Will"    Here's what he said from the transcript:    He could've said, "even if you go on to have a very successful career, and get the greatest accolades of the world, I think the most important title of a woman is :  Homemaker. And, that would take you closer to God's Will"    But, he didn't say so because he wanted to say exactly what he believes women should do and brought God into that by saying that's His Will.    I think he made a mistake of implying that women are generally excited about marriage and having kids and being a homemaker, when that's only part of a woman's life - even though that could be the most cherished and blessed part of the life.   He only looked at how that made his wife's life - his words, not his wife's words by the way - and projected that to all the women.

      AD Mitchell Not Signed

      By stitches · Posted

      This happens every single year and every single year people worry about the occasional unsigned rookie when we haven't even gotten into June yet.   Guys/gals... it's really a big nothing burger. Ever since the NFL introduced rookie scale contracts this has been a non-issue. Everything important in those contracts has been made non-negotiable. The negotiable things are largely minutiae - it's about schedule of payment...it's about off-set language, or language about voiding salary payments(for example - can the team void payments for suspensions and stuff like that), etc.   There are two cases I remember in the last 10 years where this has become a problem and the player has actually missed training camp practices because of it - Joey Bosa(because of schedule of payments dispute) and Roquan Smith(because of dispute about the language about voiding payments for suspensions because of play). And as you see... Both of those were top 10 picks. (i.e. more money on the line)...   Holdouts/holdins of day 2 and day 3 picks are pretty much unheard of. I personally couldn't find a single case when I looked for it.    AD seems to be taking part in both rookie mini camp and in OTAs and hasn't missed any practice, we haven't heard about any sort of dispute so far, so my assumption would be there is nothing to see here and it's all formality.    So yeah... Unless we hear there is a problem I would just assume everything is good.
