FYI Press Conference 4pm Ballard/Irsay

I expect the colts to fill some holes via free agency.

All that's being talked about on radio right now- thinking we are going after Barkley.

Either a complete smoke screen or that dude truly can't accept the fucking reality that his team has more hole than a pack of fucking Kroger brand swiss cheese!

He's living in the past, he wants another triplets situation here.

Hey Jim- ever hear of Robert Mathis and Dwight Freeney? Guess what, they aren't on this fucking roster!

I love Barkley's game, if we draft him, I am going to find a way to punch Irsay in the dick!

Either better be a mauling fucking monster to block or a guy that devours QBs with menacing regularity. Anything else and fuck everyone in this organization!

If the Colts pick a RB then Andrew Luck's championship contending days are over. Forever.

The guy running the show in Indy is a complete ****ing idiot when it comes to football. Running back is just about the least valuable position in the modern NFL. His franchise QB has been killed over and over again for years. There is virtually no pass rush. But let's keep drafting RBs and Wide Receivers and Tight Ends.

Barkley is a hell of a back, but behind our line he is 3.0 ypc. I want all big ugly basterds every pick offensive line and rush/inside linebackers ...

I do think Barkley would do better than 3.0, but I agree with with you desire for picks. Hopefully, some team wants the number 3 and we can trade down and fix many holes.

Probably true, just showing my true disdain for our really offensive line

RB is still a valuable position; it’s just that the supply is so good that you don’t have to draft one early. Just look at Kareem Hunt and Alvin Kamara. Those guys made a huge difference for their teams this year and were drafted in the 3rd round. That’s how you do it in today’s NFL.

NO a million times to a first round RB.

But on the topic of RB, I wouldn't mind making a run at Dion Lewis to upgrade the position. Free agent this year.

Lewis was with the Colts the year before he went to the Patriots.

The Browns have the 1st and 4th ( from Houston) picks in the draft. They will draft Barkley with the first pick and still get a franchise QB with the fourth.
