It was the second time Asst. Director: Jaime Moore got on a draft call.

Jaylon Carlies was a scout team unanimous decision.

Jaylin Simpson is going to be given a chance at cornerback.

Laiatu Latu was considered a "When a talent line, meets the need line".

Both offensive linemen were picked because of talent & toughness.

The Wide Receivers were selected in part due to the arm strength of Anthony Richardson.

Laiatu Latu really turned around the UCLA defense immediately after transferring, post surgery.

Latu patterns his game off Aaron Donald and Maxx Crosby.

Latu might be able to shock some people early in the season, and earn opposing offenses respect.

Weak points Laiatu has that could hold him back, or that he needs to work on?

Can Laiatu be a 3 down lineman for the Indianapolis Colts, and stop the run?

Latu can play inside as well, ...

Should the Indianapolis Colts make a move on pass rush, if available at 15?

Is it the receiver corps, or the Quarterback play?

Should Brock Bowers be a target?

The secondary played poor, but is it just inexperience? Where do you draft one?

@01:20 Rock is very good at man coverage, especially versus big, possession type receivers.

@03:29 He never had a chance in Baltimore to get comfortable with the defense around him.

@05:30 After being traded to the Raiders, he had a solid season, then bet on himself in Free Agency.

Too much smoke, to see the fire.

Marvin Harrison Jr. is my #1 Wide Receiver Prospect, but I doubt Indy moves up to get him.

Malik Nabers is not an 'X' Receiver, but he'll be top receiving target for most teams.

Rome Odunze is a dangerous target on the outside, reminds me of Colts: Michael Pittman Jr.

Brian Thomas Jr. is fast for a big guy, but is a project.

Xavier Worthy is lightning in a bottle, but his size is worrisome to me.

The Defensive Back position was not up to par for the Indianapolis Colts last season.

Quinyon Mitchell of Toledo is the best all-around cornerback prospect in this 2024 NFL draft.

Nate Wiggins of Clemson is the biggest boom or bust prospect in the entire draft.

Terrion Arnold out of Alabama has great instincts, but lack of confidence, and top end speed will limit him.

Kool-Aid McKinstry from Bama is not good at zone defense.

The Indianapolis Colts are trying to get an elite pass rusher.

Picking 15th overall on the 2024 NFL draft, you're hoping for a blue chipper to fall.

Dallas Turner from Alabama probably won't make it to #15, but if he falls, he's a no-brainer pick.

Laiatu Latu from UCLA is absolutely amazing, but his neck surgery is a red flag.

Jared Verse from FSU is a powerhouse, but I don't believe he is an elite pass rusher.

@02:30 Everyone the Indianapolis Colts have signed/re-signed to date:
@05:05 Kenny Moore II extension is a bargain for his play.
@08:01 Indy signed Joe Flacco in replacement of Gardner Minshew.
@11:10 I never expected the Colts to go for a high priced player, like Sneed, this offseason anyhow.
@17:05 The Colts are exactly where I expeceted them to be right now.

The NFL Free Agent market for tight ends is vast.

Introducing the free agency series

Colts need to fill a Quarterback spot, with only Anthony Richardson and Sam Ehlinger on the roster.

Indianapolis will not be looking at players who are expecting big money.

Gardner Minshew: Colts

Ryan Tannehill: Titans

Jacoby Brissett: Commanders

Tyrod Taylor: Giants

I would not want Marcus Mariotta, Sam Darnold, or Drew Lock, and others.

Tyler Huntley: Ravens.

Joe Flacco: Browns?

Let's try to figure out how Indianapolis Colts General Manager: Chris Ballard will approach this.

There are too many in-house players that need re-signed, to spend big outside the organization.

He'll probably spend mid money on a veteran secondary player.

Where he feels he can get a top player at pick 15, could determine where he spends on a free agent.

Probably not much movement at linebacker.

Gardner Minshew will probably be the ...

The Kansas City Chiefs have evolved over the past 5 years.

If you don't want to see another dynasty win so many Super Bowls, then beat them.

San Francisco 49ers Quarterback Brock Purdy has been impressive his first 2 seasons.

Patrick Mahomes' X-factor, won't let me be comfortable picking the 49ers to win.

The Chiefs have to contain the 49ers running system.

San Fran has to keep Mahomes completely uncomfortable all game.

Should the 4th and 1 pass went to Goodson, or should have Jonathan Taylor been out there?

1 play, 75 yards, and a touchdown, set the tone for the Texans right out the gate.

Colts Quarterback Gardner Minshew had some bad passes, and wide receivers had a lot of drops.

C.J. Stroud looked comfortable, for the most part of the game.

The Indianapolis Colts were fortuitous, and fought hard all season, to end like that.

Initial thoughts of the Houston Texans visiting the Indianapolis Colts, Week 18 of the 2023 NFL season.

Houston's injury report is pretty eye opening.

Indy's injury report looks better, they seem to be getting healthier.

C.J. Stroud has the team on his shoulders this week.

These defenses for the Colts and Texans play very differently on the back end.

But the front 4 of these teams are quite similar, they both set the tone for their...

Initial reaction to the Indianapolis Colts handling the Las Vegas Raiders week 17 of the 2023 NFL season.

The Colts had control of the entire game, despite the stats and final score.

Indy needs to cut out those plays that give the other teams momentum(Like E.J. Speed's penalty).

Despite the stats, the Colts secondary did well overall versus Devante Adams, and the Raiders offense.

Reaction to the horrible performance by the Indianapolis Colts at Atlanta Falcons.

The defense could not stop the Falcons offense in any aspect.

The amount of missed tackles by the Colts was shocking.

The Falcons really opened running lanes and ran it well.

How much of the blame is on Defensive Coordinator: Gus Bradley?

Indy's offense line was not blocking effectively.

Can the Colts make the playoff's, after what we say last week?

Initial thoughts of the Indianapolis Colts versus the Atlanta Falcons week 16 of the 2023 NFL season.

The Indianapolis Colts have not lost to team with a losing record this year.

Michael Pittman Jr. and Jonathan Taylor clear to play this week.

The Colts can utilize their tight ends in the passing game, instead of using them to help block.

The Falcons defense has been alright, but not much of a pass rush. Perfect for Gardner Minshew...
