Best chance to get a difference maker, a true impact player, for the D, which is badly needed Though I think Hooker once he is back and healthy in the secondary will be that type of player as well. |

With the third pick the colts select........Bradley Chubb. This is per Mel Kiper. He just released his first mock draft and is discussing it on ESPN right now. He clarifies that his mock is what he thinks teams WILL do not SHOULD do but with Chubb he could not be more enthusiastic both in regard to his skill at his position but also with his work ethic. He says he will NEVER take a play off.

I hope that also involves a heavy investment in the OL in free agency, as well as a decent MLB. |

I remember Polian saying your never pass on a franchise qb or an elite pass rusher. The two most difficult things to find in football. If Chubb has a chance to be an elite pass rusher take him. Don't fool around with trading back unless you are absolutely sure you'll get who you want. No to Nelson, good guards appear to be available in free agency but guys that can put pressure on qbs never do (unless they have beaten the shit out of the women in their lives). I agree that there are tons of holes on this team. But you can only get elite pass rushers thru the draft and it is something we are desperate for.

And this is not just in this era, it goes back many years, even to the rush heavy days of the 70s. Its always been true to some extent and just has become more true in the last decade : passing the ball and stopping the pass. ANd you can't stop the pass without pass rushers. I actually think the Colts secondary has a chance to be solid next year. Not great, but good. But without a pass rush, defenders can't cover guys forever in this league. They eventually get open. Plus with the upgraded DL that I thought performed very well last year, adding a pass rusher will made it harder to defend against the D. |

And this is from 2016, I believe, not last year, but illustrates the point of the lack of pressure and how it affects the Colts D.
I know some don't like Football outsiders rankings, but I point it out mainly to illustrate the Colts had the lowest pressure ranking in the league that year, only less than 20% of pass plays. They secondary actually performed middle of the pack when compared to with and without pressure standings vs the rest of the league http://www.footballoutsiders.com/sta...-pressure-2016 |
