Then 3 tech.

take BPA at any of those positions which could be a safety at 26. As in look at how far Hooker fell and we got him.
Well

That is absurd but ok

My hunch is the Colts are watching this Landon Collins situation closely. This breaks down where the Giants are with the looming decision of whether to franchise him:


@HolderStephen
Now, remember, the context here is this: Even if Collins makes it to the market, he will have multiple suitors. The Colts are very adamant about sticking to their assigned contract value, so they shy away from bidding wars. Stay tuned.
If he hits the market, we'll get a quick look at how aggressive Ballard will or will not be.

I fully expect Freaks to freak out & meltdown when we don’t sign him. I would like to get him in Indy as much as everyone else here but there will be some team that will overpay for him & Ballard isn’t going to do that.

Yeah, that will likely be the case.

I don't think the market will go much above 5/60/30. There's absolutely no reason the Colts couldn't afford that contract, including Ballard's preferred method of making all the guarantees happen in years 1 and 2. So the question is do the Colts think he's worth that? I could see that going either way. That said, there aren't many safeties his size with his athleticism, and maybe none in the upcoming draft class.

Hooker can play the free safety role ok for a deep single high. Guys like Farley, geathers and Mitchell can function as ss or big nickel guy. Easy to bring them back.

We have zero top notch dline talent. Need more lbers. Depth at cb is not great to be nice.

That front 7 needs a lot of help to be worried about the safeties much.

But we do have a ton of cash and can improve a lot of places.

The Colts can afford any single player that’s available, but that doesn’t mean they should be irresponsible. If Ballard doesn’t want to go that high, he’s earned enough of my trust that he’ll still find a good SS option.

Signing Collins won’t have any impact on bringing in help in the front 7.

It would give us one more pick in the draft to potentially use on the dline.
