The Chargers drafted a Tackle in the 3rd round last year....he could be ready.

Or they could fill the hole via free agency.

Or draft another Tackle in the 1st or 2nd round this year.

Just another wild card early in the draft.

Either way, it doesn't matter. They won't trade a good player to the Colts to help a division rival.

When is the last time the Jags did something smart? I understand it's unlikely, but with the Jags, stupid is always a possibility

It appears the Colts are moving on from WR Marcus Johnson......

Colts do not plan to tender wide receiver Marcus Johnson, per source. Johnson was restricted, but he’ll become an unrestricted free agent now, and he’s expected to get a lot of interest after the way he finished last season.

I can see us double dipping at WR in the draft.

I can actually see the Colts drafting a RB to replace Mack since he's on his final yr of contact. And Irsay says no talks are in the works and that it was fake news they were working on it

I wondered about that too. Deandre Baker was comped to Mack. But I can’t see a high pick spent on one. I think they liked the guy the Raiders took last year. But I don’t see a dominant back in this draft. The LSU back intrigued me, I think he will drop some bc of his pedestrian 40 time. Burrow called him the best player on the team. But he isn’t a breakaway back like Mack.

This move makes little sense. It's not like they needed the cap space, nor are they overflowing with talent at WR.

It's not like he will be in high demand. They can re-sign him at any time the desire in the off season.

Exactly, he was sitting there last year when the Colts and a dozen other teams needed receiver help.
