Matt Gay. I love Ebukam and Minshew, but Gay is as close to a Tucker clone as we will get, and we've had some bad kicking the last few years, so it will be nice to have an elite kicker again. I don't take that for granted.

There does seem to be a few who had a problem with Ballard for signing Gay that's for sure.  Personally I didn't have an issue.

Me either. I thought it was creative and a unique way to upgrade. There's no guarantee drafting a K will be an upgrade as there's lots of volatility in the position. The great ones play til 40 anyway, so I love signing Gay to this contract. Should be a top 5 kicker for us, and for a rookie QB, kicking those 50+ yard FGs will come in handy.

Excited isn’t the right word for me since none of them are exactly high profile except Gay.  
 

But I’m hoping they all have roles that help the team.

 

I still think we need a real pass rusher.  With the D we play, those DBs are going to be taxed.

If we drafted Will Anderson at 4, how would you feel about that? I'm guessing by your comment you aren't that high on Ebukam.

I’d like him a lot better if we had our own Bosa.  
 

As far as taking Anderson, I could see the logic.  It’s like getting a great book for Christmas when you really wanted a mindless video game.

As long as it is the Nintendo Adventure books featuring the Super Mario Bros I'd be fine. Got one of those in 4th grade for winning a drawing and was ecstatic lol. haha

Gay is a great hire, if we had a great kicker playing buffalo, maybe we were judging the Ballard tenure a lot different now...

 

Ebukam and Mckenzie are solid moves too.

 

For me, still want to see a great player on one of your holes, even if is overpay..

 

CB, Pass Rush DE, OL

 

The last several years, we enter the draft with 2-3 clear holes (WR/TE/LT last year) and hope that rookies would get it done, we're going same direction again.

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

      By NFLfan · Posted

      I'm not in Indiana, but I am so ready for the draft. I should have taken the day off.   I would be surprised to see that trade. The pats have said they have not received serious offers to trade back. But that would be great to see Marvin Harrison's son as a Colt.

      Surprisingly in “twitter land” it’s picking up steam lol. It’s the Wild West in there right now. On the .0000001% chance it happens I feel the fanbase would still be split. Some furious over compensation. Some over the moon to get Marvin’s son in Indy.    As long as we don’t draft a OL in the first round I’ll be a happy camper. Hoping for Bowers, BTJ, Arnold in that order for who would (realistically) want.

      There’s been a lot of comments made by Ballard lately that they are always planning a few years out, while the coach is pushing for players that can help now. So it’s a balance. He’s made comments that the goal is to protect and provide weapons for AR. The talent at the top of the draft seems like there could be a couple really good offensive lineman falling down to us, with a run on receivers and skill players. I don’t necessarily see that, I think there could be a run on qbs, tackles, and pass rushers with the obvious 3 receivers before we pick. That could potentially push all corners, as well as Bowers down to 15. But say, both corners and Bowers go top 15, who does that push out? Most likely a talented tackle. They can either trade back or take the highest rated player on the board, which would provide swing tackle depth, and a plan for if Smith is injured/isnt re-signed following 2025. Some are speculating it might be best to move Smith to guard in that scenario.

      I don't believe this would ever happen as the price would be much too steep. The only way this is even a remote possibility is if the Pats do not like Maye or McCarthy . Then this would also need the QB needy teams to feel the same as NE . The value of Maye , if he's a franchise QB is multiple firsts. IMO , you can't give up that for a WR
