Actually I'm arguing against your overreaction.

Go get your emotional support peacock and have a good cry.

None of those positions blocks for Luck, and only WR had even close to the same caliber of player available in FA. The difference there is obvious.

Good one, sweet internet ref.

It's looking more like Ballard sees this as a three year rebuild. I wouldn't be shocked to see him move back.

Like Dam said, Cousins to Vikings helps the Colts with regard to moving back. I see 4, 5, 6, 11, and 12 as very likely possibilities. 12 would undoubtedly provide the most capital in this draft, but you would definitely miss on Chubb and Nelson.

Completely agree. I would love for the Colts to sign two great OL. I also recognize that there are two additional factors:

1) Many parts of the roster still need significant work. See my last post about how Ballard may view this as a longer rebuild.
2) Players have to want to come to Indy.

With those two factors in mind, I can't condemn Ballard with any degree of certainty.

4, 5, and 6 are the only current move back options. The Colts need Chubb. Trading back is not worth losing him.

We don't know the medicals on Chubb. If those are clean, I completely agree.

A medical flag and the remote possibility Chubb goes 2 are the only reasons I listed 11 and 12.

@AdamSchefter
Former Eagles’ TE Trey Burton intends to sign a 4-year, $32 million deal with the Bears, as @MikeGarafolo reported.


He was never on my list.

He certainly wasn't on my mine at $8M per year (seriously, wtf?)

I had just thought he might be a potential target with Reich as the new coach.

He won't be running for his life, because the ball will be coming out of his hand much quicker than in the past.

I can't see Reich pushing hard for Burton, because he was a role player, who really offers nothing special.

Reich knows that.

It's also why I don't expect the Colts to go after Jordan Matthews.
