Replace him with Austin Hooper if Atlanta lets him go. He looked decent against the Colts.

I’m not sure they shouldn’t resign Sheard.
When Sheard is out, our run defense struggles. He will be offered a good contract.

I think they use the draft to address QB and WR.

I hope they resign Castonzo.

Sheard has been a great signing. He is solid against the run and pass. He really improves our run D and shields our light linebackers. If they resign anyone on D I hope it’s him.

Sheard will be 31 next year, Ebron will be 27. Ebron has been an important part of the offense for most of the last two seasons and still could get better. Sheard is likely to start declining over the next season or two. I don't think either should get big money.

Ebron is gone. He drops too many passes unless he's in the red zone. Then breaking away against the team to get surgery and end your season? Gone.

Well heck what a year. Some false hope early has put us on the outside looking in as of late. This team needs a different QB to take the next step. Huge upgrade needed at WR position. I think we go QB-WR with first 2 picks. Brissett is just to methodical back there, gets caught not seeing the blitz a lot and holds the ball which never turns out well. Our offensive line as great as it is at run blocking is mediocre at pass blocking. Mack is a legit starting back but the others can go as far as I’m concerned. Williams shows some promise but why was he not on the field in second half? Ebron is not a must keep imo, but we need Sheard back along with a healthy Turay. Our secondary is legit if we could just stay healthier. Our LB’ers are top of the line. So my guess is Draft has to focus on the offense.

Agreed. Ebron was a good signing and is a good player with more upside, but if the reports are true that he made a "business decision" and IR'ed himself in preparation for free agency, he won't be returning to Colts nor should he. I like the guy as a player, but you don't need that kind of attitude. Someone will pay him though.

My guess is that Sheard is probably gone. Another good signing, but the guy is over 30 and that means, statistically speaking, he'll be on the downside of his career. I can't imagine the Ballard will be willing to give him any sort of long term, high dollar contract unless it has lots of team escape clauses. Sheard can probably get a better deal elsewhere.

I have to think that Castonzo will be back. The guy has been rock solid and OL continuity is important. Yes, he's 31, but OL careers are longer and they peak later. I could see a franchise tag here if a contract can't get worked out.

TY Hilton is under contract for 2020 already, and I can't see why he'd be cut or moved. Yes, he's had a few injuries, but the guy performs, he's a playmaker, and we are very thin at WR already. Also, he'll be in his contract year in 2020, so he'll have further incentive to perform.

Ebron gets too high/emotional when he has good games, and then pouts and hangs his head when he has bad games.
He is too emotional, too unpredictable, inconsistent, and mentally soft. And last night without Ebron we were force to use Doyle more as a receiver, and you see what happens, he goes out and has a huge game.

Sheard is bringing production and leadership. No other team is going to offer him big money, we can afford to give him a 2 year contract.

Constanzo - I hope is back but I suspect some team will pay more than the Colts want to pay for a player his age.

T.Y Hilton - Colts may move on from him and go with a high pick from the draft.


Draft needs

Wide receivers and another Tight end
Right tackle as I think Braden Smith is better suited at guard and would replace Glowinski who is better off as a backup

Defensive line- Edge rusher and defensive tackle
Linebacker but not a glaring need.
Secondary. Mock drafts have the colts taking a corner and safety but I think they are ok there.
Kicker- without a doubt a need
QB - I am not sold on Brissett
Are you Ryan Grigson?
