Buffalo Bills preview: Week 11 2021 NFL season

Donald Thomas is back! 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? Do the Colts need to change the DB coach? How heavily should Chris Ballard be looking to move up? The 1st pick needs to be an impact player, no matter the position. Indy still basically has a rookie Quarterback.

@00:14 Intro @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. @07:25 His last season with the Indianapolis Colts, he was a CB1, and played like it. @09:40 Ya-Sin's lock down ability will help the 49ers defense get to the Quarterback even more!  

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. Adonai Mitchell is someone who could be an Indianapolis Colts, if he works on 1 thing, and keeps his diabetes in check. Xaiver Legette and Keon Coleman round out my 2nd round guys, in the 2024 NFL draft.

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. Cooper DeJean from Iowa is a Swiss Army knife of defensive backs.

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. Chop Robinson from Penn State is very fast, but has too many unknowns to pick in round 1.

@00:14 Intro @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. @18:38 Signing a stop gap CB or Safety is the right move, right now, for Indy. @20:48 Bowers will not available for Ballard, at #15, in the draft. @23:05 Teams that 'win' Free Agency, rarely win the season.

Indianapolis Colts Tight End: Andrew Ogletree has domestic violence charges dismissed, due to investigation. How deep are the Colts at TE? The NFL Free Agent market for tight ends is vast. Will the Colts make any moves at the position?

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? You need to be semi-mobile and a decent arm strength to take advantage of Shane Steichen's play design's. Bringing back Carson Wentz would be very controversial.

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 top target for back-up quarterback again. I seriously doubt the Colts sign a big name Wide Receiver, and here is why: The running back position might get a low money free agent. The Tight End room is still very talented, and it wasn't their fault the production wasn't there. There might be a pick-up for a back-up offensive lineman.

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. Force someone other than Travis Kelce to step up. Game score predictions!
