Well if Turner is a stud year 1…

From my last minute research Turner seems like a better 3-4 OLB than 4-3 DE. Everyone wanted to improve our rush game and the Colts took probably the best pass rusher.

1. His neck was cleared by the same surgeons that cleared Peyton Manning

2. Double digit sacks in the last two years since being cleared.

3. One of the best ways to improve coverage is to improve pass rush - and this guy gets after the QB

4. Also, one of the best ways to improve your offense is to get off the field on 3rd Downs

5. He was not on my radar but I trust the professionals more than my own judgement - stop being biased because YOU didn't think we would draft him!

6. This is the NFL - injuries are always a concern even when they play their whole life without an injury - Parris Campbell and Javon Patterson come to mind for the Colts.

7. Multiple upon multiple pundits also say he is the best edge rusher in this draft  - though those rankings can always be better taken with salt.

Colts fans: that’s it F this…I’m going to draft Harrison Jr on Madden!

 

Obviously much like all of us injury is always a worry…especially for someone with a significant past injury…but have to think that if he couldn’t be cleared medically he wouldn’t be taken (especially that high)…we need more pass rush especially with our division now so I am excited for the future.

 

id love love love it if we traded back up into the late first to get another difference maker that also gives us a 5th year option.

    • You are missing out a rather LARGE piece of the puzzle in your factoring here. We had last season's win numbers with GARDNER FREAKING MINSHEW at QB practically the whole season. Love the guy and what he did for us last season, but he isn't exactly a world beater at the QB position. AR brings such a different dynamic to this offense and teamm, Shane is going to be chomping at the bit to get started this season. The sample size we saw from AR last season was small, but it was definitely encouraging - especially considering we were all expecting him to be much more raw and inaccuarte. He basically red-shirted last year, learning the NFL game and in Steichen's ear the whole time, while learning the playbook inside out.  Our team has fundamentally stayed the same as last season, which damn near won the AFC South with Gardner at QB for the love of god. Now we add AR to that mix, as well as some very interesting additions in Mitchell and Latu who could have very meaningful impacts. The fact that we are so under the radar is almost laughable - AFC South isnt going to know what hit it. 
    • Great points!  I would assume the Irsay’s would conduct the interviews. If Steichen is given more control he would as well or the new GM could decide his fate like Ballard did with Pagano. Several ways it can go and we are a few years away from it even happening so who really knows. I’m hoping none of it matters and the team becomes a true contender and this discussion is merely killing time. 
    • I would say "hire the best who's available for the job". If all the good / great GM candidates are gone, you're stuck hiring someone like Grigson (or maybe someone from this forum).   I often wonder, who's the best candidate to hire for an impossible job? Someone who can make the impossible, possible?
    • I agree.  Hire who’s best for the job.  But that doesn’t mean the guy who is easiest is automatically the wrong choice.  Easiest can also mean best.   It depends on your perspective.  
    • I’m in, can’t believe how fast this year is going.
