Castonzo (1st round 2011) is indeed the ONLY Colt draftee still on the team from before the Luck era started.
So, from 2011 (2017 = 7th year in league), 2012 (2017 = 6th year in league), 2013 (2017 = 5th year in league) and 2014 (2017 = 4th year in league), we have five whole draftees still on the roster. FIVE. Out of 27 total picks (13 of them in the first 4 rounds). Years 4-9 are like the HEART of a player's career. Old enough to have learned the NFL game, young enough to have a body that can play it. We have five guys.... Grigson sucked as a draft manager. ============= With both Robert Mathis and Joe Reitz retiring, the only other Colt on the roster that was on the 2011 team or prior is Adam Vinieteri. Two guys from the "pre-Luck" era. ============= With the 2017 "old man" roster purge by Ballard, the Colts have (age in parentheses) : 22 seasons experience = Adam Vinatieri (44) 13 seasons experience = Frank Gore (33) 10 seasons experience = Kendall Langford (31) 09 seasons experience = Vontae Davis (28), Darius Butler (31) 08 seasons experience = Al Woods (30) 07 seasons experience = Akeem Ayers (27), Anthony Castonzo (28), Jabaal Sheard (27), Scott Tolzien (29) 06 seasons experience = T.Y. Hilton (27), Andrew Luck (27), Matt Overton (31), Sean Spence (26), Robert Turbin (27) Only six players 30 years or older of which 2 are special teams (Adam V and Overton), two are D-Line (Langford, Woods) and Gore and Butler. We are a young team but the lack of lots of more draftees at the 7/6/5 years of service area really hurts. Cheers,

Hearing that the Colts are considering trading up into the Top 10. Apparently they're thinking long and hard about Christian McCaffrey. FOR FUCK'S SAKE BALLARD NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO |

Deep draft for defense. Build from the trenches back. Want more draft picks, not less. I don't believe it for a moment. Cheers,

This means there will be a lot of defensive talent available after the 1st round. Maybe you shouldnt believe for a moment what he was saying all along.

Apparently the trade-up rumor could involve either McCaffrey or Solomon Thomas.

Like I said in the other thread, this is bullshit. Even if Ballard was contemplating this, he wouldn't leak it out. He better not be contemplating it though, it would be a dumb ass move. Don't want McCaffrey even at 15. Damn, can the draft get here already, tired of all the rumors.

I'm not even interested in McCaffrey in the 20's if we trade back.
He might very well be something good in the NFL. Not worth finding out if it's with the Colts with all our other glaring needs. |
