Colts traded for Buckner and he has far surpassed my expectations. 

 

The Titans came to town and put a whooping on the Colts without Buckner. Henry alone rushed 27 times for 178 yards (6.6 YPC)

 

You take those numbers and subtract them from the yearly average and that leads you to 270 attempts to 943 yards (3.5 YPC)

 

And finally to further push the envelope Titans Derrick Henry ran 19 times for 103 yards (5.4 YPC) with Buckner in lineup. 

 

He alone makes the D better and has helped turn this team around. We all saw the difference he makes this past Sunday and all of you should understand Ballard trading 13.

Buckner and Leonard are my current two. Maybe Hines as well. I don’t think we win seven games without those three

Definitely not Leonard. This is probably his worst year as a pro so far. Buckner is easily the most valuable player on our team right next to phillip rivers.

I would agree he’s not the MVP but I think people here are being overly harsh on Leonard.  He’s still had a very good year by anyway you measure.

Yeah, he's been DROY, all pro, pro bowler, nfl tackles leader etc right off the bat so a solid/good overall but not great season is seen as an off year.

Something to factor in is that he now has Buckner in front of him who is making plays before the ball carrier gets to the linebackers so it’s only natural for his numbers to go down a little.  In this case that’s a good thing.  The way I see it the Colts now have two true studs on defense in Buckner and Leonard.  Moore isn’t far behind them.  If he was an every down corner he’d probably be up there with them but still Kenny is a really good player.

Agreed..

Totally random, but Kenny for whatever reason reminds me of our old boy Jennings that we loved to hate for years. Simply in terms of scrappiness/toughness.

Leonard has been fantastic this year. I honestly don’t understand the disdain for him. Has he been perfect? No. Has he been as good as he thinks he is? No. But is he a large reason why we’ve won so many games this year? I absolutely think so. Leonard isn’t just skills and playmaking either; the leadership and energy he brings to the team is invaluable

What a treat as a colts fan, we get to pick which one of our star players is the MVP, hard to argue Buckner is a monster.

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

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      I think if the Colts get a WR in the top-50 picks, or so,  I think the Colts would agree with you.

      welp, after another week of developments, rumors, and predictions…here is where I stand:   1.  My personal top 5 for our first has not changed.  Mitchell, Arnold, Turner, BTJ, Bowers are still who id be ok with picking at 15.  I’ve said it before, but this is one of the most “it can go any way for us” drafts I’ve witnessed for us in a long time, if not ever.     2.  With the rumors of us looking to trade up, I AM ALL FOR IT.  It’s ok to play it safe and build your team, but that gets mediocrity.  We need to go out and get a guy.  A player we KNOW that will be elite or very good.  Not one that we hope can do that.  I think MHJ is definitely going to the Cards (if they don’t trade out) so that means either Nabers or Odunze who we’re probably trading for if they fall to 8 or 9.  Id prefer Nabers over Odunze.  Nabers is that blazing separator we desperately need, Odunze is possessive beast, but I feel we already have that with MPJ.  I don’t think trading up for bowers would be worth it.     3.  Trading back is an absolute no for me.  As said above, we have to start getting bonafide players and studs.  If we have a chance to get a bonafide stud, then we shouldn’t give it up.  Trading back and giving up the chance to get someone is lowering the talent level of our first pick.  Let’s get aggressive for once and get OUR guy.  If we can’t, let’s stay put and draft a player who will be VERY good.

      FYI Castro went back to college at Iowa this upcoming season.  Look for Sebastian in the 2025 NFL Draft.

      What is Chris Ballard MOST LIKELY to do in the 1st Round of the 2024 NFL Draft?

      By OhioColt · Posted

      Like most QBs they need a safety blanket to throw to and that can be a TE.  Draft rumor-mill already in full circulation with news that the Colts want to trade up on Day 1.  Still think it's a long shot to draft a legacy in MHJ reaching P4 with the Cardinals.  A trade up to P8 with Atlanta is probably the most realistic scenario and TE Bowers would be the call-in.  Not sold on most of this year's draftable QBs and doubt 4 or more will be drafted within the top-8 picks.  See the draft play out like every other year where teams can stay and get a serviceable QB.

      This could very well be the rare year we do trade up on Day 1.  Really shocked if we go after a legacy and the cost might be too rich for the short-term versus draft immediate draft needs.  Now a trade up to say P8 swap with Atlanta has a higher percentage of happening I do feel.  No way going to trade within our division with the Titans at P7.  At P8 should still have one of the top-3 WRs or even better option of drafting a generational TE in Bowers.
