Anyone else better is over 30 (James Harrison, Charles Johnson) and would not have been a target for Ballard.

Younger hopefully cheaper versions of Walden, and I'm fine with that.

Walden caught far too much grief around here for his contract. But, IMO he played up to that contract, and I'm not talking about last year either.

In fact, I though last season was his worst season from a run defense, set the edge perspective. He got more sacks only because he was being used as the Rush LB more and because he lucked into some very favorable matchups, or wasn't blocked at all.

Sheard is. There's a good possibility Simon is as well.

Right now, we just need fine.

Upgrades will come in the draft.

Sheard is a younger Walden. How much better is he?

Mingo is trash that we are paying too much for.
don't know who will be playing CB, probably a rookie and Vontae

Simon was a backup to Clowney, Mercilus and Cushing...I doubt any of our LBs last year would have made the Texans roster, so yes IMO much better

You are right, Sheard and Walden are probably a wash, except for age, so I will give Sheard a slight edge because of that.

Mingo is a former 1st round pick that I for one am hoping for him to be our version of Jerry Hughes.

I just don't see how we could be any worse than last year, but thats just one mans opinion.

Exactly, the Colts had one NFL caliber OLB entering free agency. Now they have three. Five are needed. They have maybe one NFL caliber ILB. Four are needed. Hopefully that's addressed both before and during the draft.

Last year, he played in 12 games and started seven of them, recording 33 tackles, seven passes defensed, three interceptions, and a forced fumble. He was productive as a slot cornerback and also spent time at safety, where he wants to move full-time

Butler should have been signed by now. Last year he proved that he can play safety while still retaining a nose for the football which has always been an unappreciated strength of his. What's more, we know exactly what we have in him. Why replace him with a jag? Even if we draft a safety he would be a reliable backup and a positive veteran influence in the secondary. Can't imagine he would command an unacceptable contract.
