Also, throw in Clark, Haeg, a mid/late round rookie and perhaps Boehm as quality depth and we are cooking on oil with the O-Line.

2020 = Castonzo UDFA (age 32)
2021 = Ryan Kelly UDFA (age 28)
2022 = Braden Smith UDFA (age 26), Mark Glowinski UDFA (age 30)
2023 = Quinton Nelson UDFA assuming we used 5th year option in 2022 (age 27)

Realisticly, our line could stay intact for 2020 / 2021 / 2022 but by then, Castonzo will probably need replaced and the team may not be able to re-sign both Smith and Glowinski in the same off season.

Enjoy the ride on O-Line Colts fans; it will hopefully be great for the next couple of years.

I have a feeling we could spend a higher pick than many expect on a center or center/guard prospect. Kelly is a top center when he is able to play, but he hasn't completed a single season without missing time with injury. He's the undisputed starter, but injuries like that pile up. If the right player comes along I could see Ballard using a 3rd on the future starting center.

Hypothetical question for you, well everyone really. Say one of the good tackles in the draft falls to our pick, maybe early second. Do you draft him? Anticipating castonzo’s contracy is up next year.

If you want a tackle, this is a good year to grab one.

And Ballard has said repeatedly he likes 10 guys on the roster for oline at all times.

Here's the problem. You are a wanker. And the worst kind. Like a diva. They are diva's but they don't think they are. You ARE A WANKER (polite way of saying DICK) and you don't think you are.

Being a human being isn't so bad. Try it, you might like it

Feel free to make some good posts from time to time instead of trying to pick fights with me.

You win.

Yes, unless it means passing on a high-quality pass rusher.

We should get another pass rusher in our top three picks I bet. This draft aligns nicely with our needs. I’m just wondering what they will try in FA and if any good players actually make it there. I’m hoping Grady Jarret does and we try to sign him. I doubt the best pass rushers will make it though.

The ideal scenario to me would be Grady Jarrett, Frank Clark, and Dee Ford all hitting free agency and the Colts signing all of them. Ford will be entering his age 28 season while Clark and Jarrett will be entering their age 26 seasons. This would eliminate DL as a need, which is good since it appears all the DL talent in this draft is slated to go top 15. Those signings would allow the Colts to, for example, go Johnathan Abram, Terrill Hanks, Trayvon Mullen in the top 60 picks. That would be a very solid, talented group to acquire, but as of now, completely ignores the team's biggest need, which is improved DL play. Signing those three, however, would put the Colts squarely into BPA mode, as that would eliminate the Colts only glaring need.

Looking at who we are going to sign from our team in the next few years I don’t want to overpay for whatever pass rusher is available. Build from within is something I’m coming around to. There are exceptionsof course if I’m a young player and my team is keeping cap open to pay me when My contact ends I think that not only sends the right signal it has to help the culture of the team develop correctly. I hope we ‘lose’ in free agency again (by lose I mean no to the big names. We ‘lost’ free agency before last season but I would argue after the season was said and done we actually won it.

What about Dante Fowler or Sheldan Richardson? I am hoping they go after Landon Collins, I think he would fit perfectly with Hooker and would provide a nice Tandem. I do like Abram, but I would like more vet presence back there.

There was some under the radar pass rusher that was buried on a deep team and I can't remember his name, trying to find it. Basically an Autry type player.
