Thought Nate said it right here.

 

 

I disagree.  Seems to be another expert who thinks you need big name FAs to fix weaknesses.  For the Colts, using the 2nd selection in the team’s draft on a CB is a big attempt to fix the problem.  Add two more drafted CBs, and that’s a big commitment.  As far as the OL goes, we’ll have to see if it was as broken as many think.  Fries and Raimann played well at the end of last year…and Freeland was one of my OT faves in this draft…

I was talking about it bring a a valuation year. Every player is being evaluated by Ballard and Steichen. Main reason Taylor and Pittman haven’t been extended yet.

      Colts Select Laiatu Latu Edge UCLA

      Colts Select Laiatu Latu Edge UCLA

      By w87r · Posted

      Read this this morning. Thought it was interesting    https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/indianapolis-colts/news/colts-rams-nfl-draft-trade-offer-revealed-rejected/be019bcd2ee81b6ffeb4656e     "This was the rejected trade offer from the Rams to the Colts in the first round:     Rams get: Nos. 15, 191   Colts get: Nos. 19, 99, 154   While that's the kind of deal Chris Ballard would be expected to take in the past, the Colts clearly had an eye for edge rusher Laiatu Latu.   It's clear that it would have taken much more in the offer for the Colts to move off the chance of selecting the prospect they believe was the best defender in the entire draft.   There were a few viable prospects available at the time so it would have made sense for the Colts to trade back.   But this only proves how convicted they were in draft Latu."     Not too surprised we turnt that down as it has us losing on the draft chart by a little bit, but does show the conviction they had in Latu.

      How to Beat the Texans (and every other team)

      By Solid84 · Posted

      Offense wins in the league now and to take it a step further the QB is by far the lost important piece on any team.    So, on offense you need the best possible QB with the best possible supporting cast and on defense you need players who can affect the play of the opposing QBs directly.

      This is definitely an issue. So, either Ballard is A.) Cheap and he doesn't want to spend money on FAs (even with injuries happening) or B.) He can't build a competitive enough team to attract any worthwhile FA's after 7 going on 8 years now.    If AR and the current team can't attract FAs that could theoretically get a starting job at the S position for a year, then we are in big trouble according to the opinions of the players of the NFL. Personally, I think Ballard just avoids FA so much that he doesn't want to bring outside help in. He wants to be known as the GM who builds his team from the draft.   Wish the local media would call him out on this.

      I think the Colts have the money to be competitive for a good free agent safety.  I think bringing in one of them may depend on whether a player like Simmons wants to play for the Colts.  They may be hoping to sign for a team with a better chance of making the playoffs.   So I don’t know if Ballard is making a statement or not?     Hope my answer makes sense to you….
