The moment Ballard hears "Texans are offering this, what can you offer?", I bet Ballard is out. Texans at best will offer a 2nd rounder for moving 1 spot and maybe a future 3rd to go with it but Ballard is unlikely to get into a bidding war. Bears however want a first rounder in the future, only teams at the Colts spot and later in the draft will offer that. That is why I feel the Texans won't trade with the Bears.

i think it depends on how the texans evaluate the QBs if they feel like stroud and young are very close in terms of potential they will stay put .   if they feel like young or stroud are much better they will be aggressive  and might be willing to offer a first

Regardless if you like Jim or not, there is nothing boring about him.

I don't know him personally but have a feeling he is a phenomenal person. Just hearing the stories that McAfee tells about what type of person he is tells me alot.  Eccentric? yes, a little crazy? yes. 

I'm glad he is the owner of the Colts.

I don't know why, but I have a hunch the bears want Quentin Johnston to pair with Fields. I can see them trading from 1 to 2, from 2 to 4, and from 4 to 7 just before the falcons who could want Johnston as well. So the draft looks like this

 

Texans - Bryce Young

Colts - C.J Stroud

Cards - Jalen Carter

Raiders - Will Levis

Seahawks - Will Anderson

Lions - Tyree Wilson

Bears - Quentin Johnston 

Johnston is so overrated its not even funny

It’s a very strong And deep OL class, pretty decent DE and DL class, weak at WR and QB and about average everywhere else

how about corners ?  any good ones that could fall in the second or third  round ?we need another corner to go along with gilmore  if we can get a corner and a guard or center in the second and third round it would help

He catches with his body

He plays upright

He isn't physical despite size

All true, but fixable. I just think he can be explosive with Fields

So let me get this straight. The owner of  a team that went 4 and 13 and  hasn't won anything of significance in say 10 years is the great Zen master of the NFL?Teams are being baited by Irsay and  hung up on his every  word and his  underling  Ballard who  is the the 2nd coming. U know how ridiculous that sounds? Teams have their boards and needs.  They know the type of player that the Colts are mostly targeting at qb based on the Colts system, coaching and previous drafts. It has nothing to do with what Irsay let's slip out of  his louth. Have u been listening the nonsense that has come out of his mouth as of late? He can't be taken seriously and trust me teams don't.

It's more poker then anything else and sure Irsay is a few cards short of a full deck, but these tactics are used by every team to try to gain an advantage.

Sorry, I prefer stable  u know like Rooneys. If I want eccentrix, I can have  Madonna  but st least with her  I can turn the channel. With a Irsay, he is running a billion dollars sports team.

And what advantages do u think the Colts have with Irsay give little tid bits in that news conference? Do u think now the Texans r running to their board and say oh my God they have their sites on Young??? The Texans have their guy they want and the Colts can't get in their way.

You can turn the Colts channel off as well. You can also find another team. Maybe one you don't feel the need to rag on non stop?

Sure they can. If the colts are targeting a particular QB and they feel the Texans want the same QB, they can trade up to 1. It'd be hard because the Texans have a lot of picks, but not impossible.

Interesting that you don’t even allow for the possibility that Irsay wasn’t serious.   That it might be a smoke screen.   This time of year is commonly known as the Lying Season for a good reason.   Not every comment Irsay makes is a gaffe.

Maybe force Houston to pay more for moving up?     Make Houston think it’s a potential bidding war.  
 

Irsay might’ve just been having fun and maybe it’s not a smoke screen at all.   Maybe he wanted to see how everyone reacts.   
 

My basic point is that I don’t assume the man just revealed classified info.   He doesn’t have a track record of giving away team secrets.   I’m not going to conclude  he just did.

I honestly don't think thier is a qb that  the Texans would move up to get. I mean I don't see them paying a kin

Sorry hit enter. I don't see them  paying anything to move up to get a guy like say Young. Now the rumour is  that Chicago wants to trade Fields. I  was right about   Fields and he is  a rb and not a  qb. Is Chcago serious? I don't know .   They are probably juat trying to stoke the flames.  I  really think as we get close to the draft, the market will cool this qb class. I think it is already cool snd it is just thr media hyping it up. Ask yourself this. Look at Ballard's last draft. Do u honestly think when Young walks thru that door he is going to say he's my man?  He lost  lost 2 big qbs to jnjury; Luck and Ryan.  Those were men.  Young is a child. I bet Chicago takes  Carter at 1

You might be right.   Honestly, I don’t know.  All I’m saying is that I don’t think there’s reason to believe Irsay had an “oops” moment in full view of everyone.  
 

He’s not a new owner.  He’s been around forever.  He knows everyone is lying this time of year.   He might’ve been just having fun.   
 

I just don’t have reason to get worked up at this moment.   Maybe somewhere down the road, just not now over this.  
 

Im not defending Irsay blindly.  I think he had his worst season as owner in my 11 seasons as a fan.   But this moment just doesn’t move the needle for me.

Its like he gets so close to figuring it out and then just whiffs. He hates the Colts, he hates Irsay, he loves the Rooneys, he loves the Steelers…

 

But he just stays here making himself miserable. 
 

Its like watching someone put 2 and 2 together and come up with 5.

I think you are giving him a lil bit more credit then due TBH.  I think he is a Steelers Fan but just likes to troll the Colts and the forum for attention. You know like the kid that dont get any attention at home except when they are bad.

Weird, I get 22! 
 

Serious note, I don’t get it. I understand not being happy with the way this season went & concerns over Irsay meddling (I was squarely in that group). I may not agree, but can understand questioning player acquisitions, roster management, cap management, etc.

 

But yea, he seems like he would be happier following the Steelers or another team because he seems to absolutely despise everything about the Colts.
