Mike Evans

[joeb]

Can you imagine having Pittman and Evans as our receivers? That would be awesome. Evans appears to be available. Not tagged, yet. I'm thinking he would cost minimum 20 mil. I don't know if Ballard would go that route.

and we have Downs + we draft Bowers at TE, with Taylor at RB. AR at QB could just pick his poison. .

Bring back Michael Pittman and give me Mike Williams from the Chargers who has ties with Shane Steichen. I'm also more than okay with taking a guy like Brian Thomas Jr at 15 if Brock Bowers and the other top three receivers are off the board.

I’d love to have him, but I just can’t see Ballard spending $40M+ on two WRs.  
 

There are a bunch of WRs in this draft.   I’m not giving up on Pierce either.

I think Williams will be a good fit here. As already mentioned, Shane already knows him and has coached him. I wouldn’t mind taking a flyer on this.

Try 2 years $50 mil. guaranteed at least to get him here.

Yep, re-sign Pittman and get 1 WR through the draft, that is the direction the Colts most likely go, unless they take a Day 3 flier on a returner type WR with upside.

If Pittman signs an extension he won’t count $20 against the cap this year.  Could be under $10m actually.  Depends how it’s structured.  Cap wise it could be much lower than $40m for those two.

I would LOVE to have more talent at WR than we have today

 

I would ask...... who will be adding the much needed pressure to the opposing team?

 

This defense is ranked 24th, our offense is 15th 

 

IF we spend big $$$ on FA , I really hope that we use the limited bucket of $$ on a pass rusher and draft 2-3 (early round defensive players)

 

I think if we get one rookie WR and some help on defense (1 FA DE/ draft CB / draft FS / Draft LB, we will jump up a bit)

 

And with some health at QB, this team could win the AFC South

I wouldnt mind a vet like Mike Evans. He was close with Vincent Jackson before he passed like my brother-in-law was. I’d also like Ballard to bring home Scary Terry McLauren, but im sure Ballard will be too stubborn to bring in any wr help at all!

If we bring back Pittman and draft a WR I'd actually be fine with that. I'd rather spend big at other positions in FA. I want an elite S like McKinney.

Evans is either staying in Tampa or going to Houston

McLauren is not a free agent.  Wash has no incentive to trade him.

Or.....the Chiefs

[Scott Pennock]

No high priced receiver is signing in Naptown, with a 'rookie' QB and especially with the way Ballard builds his roster. 

[Hawkeyecolt]

Rhodes, Gilmore, Autry, Houston, Ebukam.  When Ballard spends money on Free-Agents it is usually on the defense.

Had we kept Gilmore, we would have won the division, but hindsight is hindsight unfortunately. He may of even made a 2 game difference, not a 1 game difference. We could have been 11-6 because our secondary would have been much stronger and it was our weak point all season.

Correction...............had Gilmore wanted to stay.

One thing is becoming quite clear is that the Afc South will be one of the best in the Nfl.

I absolutely agree

 

The Texans have a great QB and good coach

 

They also have a boatload of draft capitol from their QB they traded to Cleveland 

 

They will be a challenge

Mike Williams (LAC) makes much sense for the Colts. He'll be a cheaper option while having previous ties with Shane Steichen.

You were right. I'm glad that Tampa re-signed him.

 

Are you participating in the Mock Draft this year?

I’m glad too because him and Stroud would be a dangerous combo. Yes I should be able to
