He quit on us once already. Hard pass x2

I saw the interview where Ballard alluded to what you stated. You could tell he was lying when he was saying it. Ballard is a very stone faced guy and literally failed to hide a little smirk when mentioning QB at 4. I want to play poker with him now.

They interviewed Poles and Flus yesterday. Poles stated that this draft is deep in what they are looking for in DL and OL.

I hope they've come to realize that Monty isn't going to get us anywhere. The only thing he is above average at is breaking tackles. Everything else is blah. Opposing defenses have zero prep against him.

I like him at edge. He'll have to get a little bigger for inside.

He is one of the reasons is like them trade out of the top 10. Edge is seriously deep this year. I said somewhere else that Van Ness reminds me of Hutchinson. A lot of people don't know him because he wasn't even a starter, due to some rule coach has about starting the older guys. The second and third rounds hold great value for RT, G, C, TE and CB. I'd love to have five or six picks in that area.

The more I look at Van Ness, he reminds me of Aiden Hutchinson. Breesee plays like a Bear.

I would do backflips...

I did a mock on PFF and made 4 trades to end up at 14. Got 10 picks in the first 100 and a first next year.

Worry not...?

The more I chew on it, the more I want an extra first rounder for next year. This year is for building the foundation and completely evaluating Fields future. 2024 will either be time to contend or draft a new QB. The extra pick will really help either way.

It's like having ants in a jar; everything's fine until you shake it.

You know what's funny, is that all three you mentioned could have that identical stat line and I would be very happy with it.

Good one.

Owners want a HC that projects well in front of the team and press.(see Nagy) To me, Beineimy is kinda short and dumpy, not very charismatic. Sort of the same with Jim Caldwell. I would hire Caldwell on a New York minute. In 30 years of corporate America, I've been discriminated against for being male, white and overweight. It's a bitch. The race stigma is slowly going away. Look at our GM and president. There's still work to do.

We did when we drafted Fields. Anyway, I'm not sure the Texans need a QB as bad as most say. Davis Mills can throw the ball. He needs weapons just like Justin. They are guaranteed to NOT say a damn thing about it, because they are in a prime spot to screw the Colts. I'm really starting to feel for the Colts fans in my community.

I like it. Now is not the time for mediocre.

He never called plays full time because Reid wouldn't give it up.

I'm not concerned with drafting from any school. A player is a player...

Trading Fields would be dumb as hell. He is serviceable, while on his rookie deal. The way this draft should pan out, Poles should have an additional first rounder for next year's draft if he finds it necessary to get a QB. The team bad would be built for the new guy. Lastly, the USC QB will be the prize next year making it a benefit to wait.

He a shown that he can't make those throws yet. His release is still slow to go along with him telegraphing it. The DL has all the time they need to get their hands up in the perfect place. He must fix that.

Look no further than the Bears, Browns and Broncos in the last several years.

This is the longest I've ever seen an owner on "full tilt". I'm a Bears fan, tried and true, but I'm kinda starting to feel sorry for the Colts fans. They were all over it today on ESPN Chicago. I'm starting to think it may be better to get a deal done before the draft so Irsay doesn't get squirrelly when the pressure of the draft ramps up. It would also prevent Poles from making the mistake of getting too greedy. Irsay and Ballard both know they are going to have to overpay, so negotiations should go smoothly if everyone plays nicely.

I'd take nothing less than their 2024 1st rounder. Then, fleece the Colts...

Thought Greg Olsen did a great job doing color.
