A trade!!!!! She happened!!!!!

Gotta admit, the idea of Welker (even though he is a great player) made me feel a bit nauseous. And Wallace wanted the farm.

After yesterday it seemed clear o line and D were top priorities.

Well people wanted a CB all offseason.....we got one. And thank Jerry Jones for saying No at times this offseason. :)

I don't think Welker was ever a consideration, and we might be able to get Wallace as a free agent next year. Now the offensive line has to be the main priority after the trade for Davis. I'm with you on the Jones comment. Davis> Jenkins.

I'm happy with this trade, hopefully Pagano can mold him, get rid of the baggage and turn him into an elite CB. I think combining the experience the young/new players get this year, paired with the draft next year with some possible FA acquisitions we are in for a treat in the 2013 season.

So, just how many draft picks do we have left next year? I'm happy the trade got done, but would like to load up with more young talent next year, not just open the purse (thank you dead cap hit!! grrr....) and spend wild on vets that may have something in the tank, but mostly on the decline.

Oh, and in again before the lock. ;-)

This trade proves that the Grigson is serious about fixing this team. I love this.

Just remember....this is not a fix....this is a team with 53 players with an R or a 1 next to them...this is a new team...a bad preseason game shows weaknesses and teaching moments...the worst thing is McKinney is done...we may see more 4-3 than we thought....NT is a problem big-time now.

    • Of course.   I don’t think I disagree.   But I think Ballard knows his players and if/when to gamble on bringing them back.     Not sure I follow your comment about the draft behind him with Pierce be the same as pass rusher?   Can you elaborate?  
    • Last year was brutal for you?   Seriously?   Last year was one of the most enjoyable seasons of my 12+ years of Colts fandom!   A season where the Colts exceeded expectations while playing their backup quarterback.  Watching Steichen coach the heck out of this team!   A real pleasure.  Honestly.    And given the nature of how negative things are around here I’ll share a thought that I fully expect to get laughed at over… Ballard didn’t take the job over Luck.  Ballard took the job over Irsay.   I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Irsay, who had been a GM, then hired Bill Polian,  then Ryan Grigson who got exec of the year one year, then Ballard who also got executive of the year one year.   I don’t believe in coincidences like that.   Irsay knows the complexities of the job.   When Ballard took the job it wasn’t clear what was happening with Luck?   The one constant was Irsay.    Plenty of decisions were made with the trio…. Irsay, Ballard and Reich.     After the Luck retirement the Colts were in win-now mode.  They had a young team built to win and weren’t going to tell them the team was going to be in re-build mode for 2-4 years while a young quarterback learned on the job.     Things look obvious in hind sight.  The Colts plans were known in real time and they made what they felt were the only decisions that they could.   Try to win every year.  And part of the reason Ballard hasn’t been fired is that Irsay approved of those plans, he signed off on them.     Im sorry you may not watch this year.  Steichen is a really sharp guy.  Fun to watch.   I hope you’ll reconsider.   
    • Anyone interested in the #3 position, the Patriots are considering trading down.  Send me a message if you’re interested.
    • not without risking him leaving. Of course. The argument could be made that the draft behind him in Pierce could be the same situation with a pass rusher. 
    • That's cool!   I was fortunate enough to catch him on his last tour just before he passed. Great concert.
