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.

 Ballard has added roll players to fill a number of needs.

 He got a quick slot, a quick RB, blocking TE, pass rusher, DT, and top kicker.

  Draft a CB, OL with our picks 2-3 and away we go.

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.

Minshew’s presence and leadership will be even greater if we go A. Richardson as our 1st pick.  Minshew can start, run this offense and mentor #15.  That could be our biggest signing.

Coolest signing? Minshew

 

Happiest about? The kicker - he's solid.

 

But also, happy he seems to be addressing some DL depth with the pass rusher, and Bryan at DT

      Injuries are Already Piling Up

      Exactly, as long as we are healthy going into opening day then that is all that matters.    By the way, that is one of the best and funniest posts I have seen all year in here, I have to give it a Homer laugh

      Era's are so different, it would seem LeBron could play in any era and be dominant but in the 80's and 90's the game was way more physical. How would LeBron do against a team like the 1989 Pistons for example? We don't know?, if they allowed the Pistons play by the rules they played with back then.    Regarding the Pacers their 1998 team was the best IMO. We had the Bulls beat in Game 7, I still believe we got screwed by the REFS. Whether or not we would have beat Utah is a different subject but that would have been a hell of a series. Utah would have had HCA.

      Peyton left off list?

      By 2006Coltsbestever · Posted

      Yeah I try not to let my Colts bias get in the way when I do lists, it is tough sometime. I can understand why anyone would say Randy should be ranked higher. Randy was a freak and was so tall, a QB could just throw a long one to him and on 50/50 balls, he would catch it.    I have gone back and forth over the years regarding Peyton and Tom. My Colts bias says Peyton is the GOAT, he is also my favorite player of all-time so I hate, let me repeat I hate putting Tom #1. I just factor in everything but saying Peyton is #3 isn't a dis , that is practically saying he is damn near the GOAT. I have Montana 2nd because I felt like during the 80's which had all kinds of great teams, he won 4 SB's and was flawless in those SB's. You don't get anymore clutch than him.   I get the Emmitt Smith hate on this board, most here hate the Cowboys but once again when ranking players people should put that aside IMO. Otherwise the list becomes who somebody loves and hates.
