colts soft schedule

[GRUMPY OLD MAN]

according to cbs sports john breech the colts have the fourth softest schedule in the nfl. that said we may still get the number one pick next draft. as we have a serious lack of gamechangers and a lot of ifs and unproven cheap talent. will we take a qb if we land the number one?

Hope you’re having fun!

if ar does not work out we for sure will, and even if he works out ballard will take the top qb

next year draft class has generational talents at other position too, especially LT and WR, apart from defense. 

 

If Colts are happy with AR, they should look to make the roster great adding great talent at cheaper price rather than paying so much for some positions, home grown or not. Getting a top ten draft pick will help towards that, we'll see how this season goes.

Defense does have a legit point       And I am a huge AR5 fan. But I doubt they bail on him after a yr 

 

What do we do if we have the #1 pick next yr?   It's not crazy talk

that would be a good headache to have next draft, if it comes to that. 

 

But until that happens, it's too early for a scenario to think about, without the context of what led to #1 pick. It could be that all 5 OL need to be replaced if we are playing every scenario and that would be a bad headache to have.

I dont know if we get the #1 pick how do you pass on Caleb Williams. A guy everyone is saying is the best QB prospect since Luck. Not sure you can do that unless AR has proven with no shadow of a doubt he will be an elite QB at the NFL level.

Personally…

I think it’s completely and entirely crazy talk.    I think the odds of getting the first overall pick is something close to zero.  Honestly.
 

The Colts are not going to be worse than last year.   They may have bad weeks.   AR is going to get humbled a lot.   But by the end of the year things should be getting better.   Many, many things would have to go wrong for the season to implode.   And the odds of all those things happening is incredibly small.

IF we get the first overall pick and IF AR shows promise we trade back for the biggest haul of all time. 

[Crunked]

LOL if we are so bad we have the 1st overall pick...boy I hope that is still funny in January.......but with the first overall we would be destine to pick Marvy Jr. ...... a WR to aid AR 5. Cant fight destiny........

[DaColts85]

Ballard is not drafting a QB at 4th overall and then drafting a QB the following year. He would be fired for sure I doubt we end up being the worst team anyways but even if we are top 5 we draft many other positions.

IMHO, Defense is trolling to see how many people he can get fired up.  But if that's what some people think is fun (both trolling and responding to them), it's okay with me.

 

Logically though - last season we had probably the worst QB play in the league.  Our O line was in disarray and Shaq really didn't play.  Yet they won 4 games (and should have won at least 2 more).

 

AR5 would have to turn the ball over more times than Ryan.  Rainman would have to regress worse than Pryor, JT would have to stop playing in October, and none of the receivers would progress more than last season.  It would take that and more to get the #1 pick. 

 

Possible?  Sure.  But I still think he's trolling.  And I just fell for it by giving him a real answer, lol!

There would be three options. Take williams and trade away richardson. Trade back for a boat load of picks. Draft marvin harrison jr

[IinD]

C'mon man, we've now gotten to the point where we bail on a QB before one snap??!?! Lol

 

I think this could be just as bad as the 0-2 let's tank the rest of the season annual talk... Lol

Colts will get a top 8 pick and will most likely draft Oline Dline or the secondary. Won’t be QB or a skill position player.

I mean we're taking Marvin Jr if he's available... Irsay already out here dropping hints on that

I would love that so much. Current mocks have him going 2nd overall and not getting past 3.

Trade back for a bounty and give AR year two. Aka what Chicago did

Ballard will take it and turn into 20 extra picks

[sb41champs]

The Colts do have one of the "easier schedules" according to the "expert media pundits".

 

That said - let me share the definition of "expert" - that my Father was fond of saying:

 

An "ex" is a has been  -  AND   - a "xpert" is a drip under pressure.

 

We'll find out how easy - or - hard -  AND  -  where the Colts pick in 2024 by week 18.

But remember all we needed was to fire Frank and get that franchise qb and this talent will win it all!!!

Well he needs to have elite speed if he is going to be drafted in the top 5.

I doubt it too, it would take a failure of epic proportions on and off the field. And you'd need to have the 2024 top prospect's rating come out so far ahead of everyone of the 2023 and 2024 drafts. Additionally you would have to eat Richardson's contract(because who would give the Colts anything for him if he failed that badly and everyone knew the Colts would take a qb again). 

 

At this point if they do have the #1 pick again, you do what Chicago did and find a trade partner and get a fortune in picks and players back.

They wont get the number one pick. If they get the pick it will mean that the whole team needs to be blown up.
