If I can give up a pick just to move back 10-20 selections, and get a known quantity in return, I do it almost every time.

This assumes your pro scouting department is capable, though.

Don't leave without a contract, Ballard.

Yes, I'm aware that he's overrated. Our current NT not only sucks (imo) but he's also facing 5 years prison time. We could do a whole hell of a lot worse than giving him a prove it contract. We probably WILL do a lot worse without him.

He's definitely overrated but if he can play like he did his rookie season, then I wouldn't mind over paying.

Poe can make Pagano's whole 3-4 sh*t actually work.

Then imagine getting Barnett in the draft and Henry Anderson and Langford fully bouncing back? wowzers.

Then they would still have no corners other than Vontae, and be starting TJ Green at safety...

It's gonna be a work in progress no matter what.

Are we desperate for Poe now after the Parry video? Are we completely screwed at the NT position?

I trust the guy that scouted Charles Tillman and Marcus Peters to find good corners.

1st - Barnett, Harris, or Riddick
2nd - McMillan or CB

Suddenly the defense could be stabilized. If Luck is healthy, then this team will look infinitely better in year 1.

How much money do we have left?

[natagu23]

Hightower has to be a priority target.

We have to get a stud in the middle.

The details of Sheards' contract have not been released yet but multiple reports are saying that he will be paid $10m in first year.

Taking that number, the Colts have right at $30m left to sign new free agents and still pay the practice squad, pay the draft class, pay #52 & #53 on the active roster and have in season "churn" space.
