That are better than the "starters" that the previous GM brought in.

3 will be starters and there will be improvement from last yr because of them

Actually maybe 4 will be if they don't draft Lamp

to be determined. they weren't starters for their old teams for a reason.

our defense improves mostly if langford and anderson get healthy and back to normal. not the average joes ballard brought in

How about we hope Ballard's average joes are better than Grigson's average joes? We at least know the Colts got younger and should get better production out of his additions than those Colts who either retired or were released. Obviously it gets easier if as Omaha points out Anderson and Langford come back healthy and revert back to what is expected.

Im hoping.... but average Joes are average Joes no matter who's the GM.

Grigson didn't bring in average Joes, he brought in Godawful Jills.

Trent Richardson, LaRon Landry, Trent Cole, etc were all worse than you would expect a street free agent to be.

It sucks that we are arguing over which GM picked up the best scrubs.

Absolutely, as the roster currently stands. The true difference will be from the draft (hopefully).

That looks like the plan. Establish a base of defensive guys that are solid but not great, and draft the future greats. Just don't screw up the draft!
