Broncos.

Solid picks for the Broncos (9 wins in 2008 is pretty reasonable, too). Getting our pick of a solid safety class would be nice and a guy like Beckwith in the second is great value. That said, if we’re 9-7 next season, I’m pretty sure we’ll be happy with our LB corps into the future. Not sure what else we’d target, so I think the second pick is fine, but I think that’ll change. Good work!

Bears

Seeing a lineman in the first two rounds seems very reasonable assuming we don’t go after one in FA.

I think with the recent number of busts at WRs in the first round our gm Jerry Angelo’s poor track record with drafting quality first round offensive players (Columbo, Grossman, Benson), you probably won’t see us take a WR unless it seems like a for sure talent like Fitzgerald was.

I think it is very funny there is no QB taken in the first two rounds again by the Bears. Maybe that is because either Rex or Kyle will be improved this year. Maybe we will trade or sign a FA QB. Either that or we are ridiculously stupid.

I know a lot of people on down on the Bears this year, but no one realizes that we lost the third most starters due to injury last year and we won 7 and were within a score in all but one game last year. Most of those injuries were on defense which was decimated. If the Colts lost 7 starters on offense, how would they do? I think we put like 8 guys on IR last year. On offense we had two lineman reach the end of their careers. No one has signed them and for good reason. Imagine having two spots on your line that are worthless.

We’re drafted some very talented players much needed depth at DT, S, and CB. We filled one whole on the line, and all the guys that were hurt last year are back and most of them will have over a year of recovery time.

Yes I know you all projecting are record because of one position on the field, QB, but we did win 13 regular season games in 2006 and 2005 with those same QB’s that were younger and less experienced. Some people forget that part for some reason.

Kick it to me... I'm open!

QB

I would say that a JR QB (possibly Tebow or Stafford) will have a good enough year to declare early. If that happens I could see the Bears drafting one of them in the 1st.

And yes, the Colts had quite a few injuries as well. The difference is Polian has drafted well enough the past few years that when a starter goes down, there is someone there to step up. If you don’t remember, Indy’s franchise LT Tarik Glenn retired last season and there was a rookie protecting Manning. When Ugoh go hurt that is when they started to lose. Freeney was also gone most of the season. I’d say the only position they don’t have good depth at is QB. If Manning goes down, they will be picking in the top 10 next year…

I think you missed my point

You lost a LT and a DT. I’m talking 7 starters on your best side of the ball throughout the season. You like the Bears have been much stronger on one side of the ball for years. This is the first year that you had a good defense and a healthy safety was a big reason why.

We lost: Nate Vasher (CB), Tommy Harris (CB), Darwin Walker (DT), Mike Brown (S), Lance Briggs (LB), Dusty Dvocek (DT), Adam Archeleta (S), and Kevin Payne (S). Lance, Adam, Tommy and Darwin missed two or three games and played hurt. The rest of those guys went on IR in the first 4 games of the year. Nate Vasher missed like 12 games.

We also lost our second and third round pick in OTA’s – Dan Baziun (DE) and Michael Okwo (LB)

It has nothing to do with drafting. We had plenty of good players drafted and had depth. We were decimated with injuries on one side of the ball. It happened to be the side of the ball that we were great on. We still managed to be in every game of the year except against Dallas and win 7.

You lost Marvin Harrison and had LT retire before the season started so you had time to prepare. I know you had a couple injuries here and there on the OL, but any serious injuries. Did you loose most of your offense?

It is very different and your comparison is not even close to accurate. How’s Freeney doing?

Kick it to me... I'm open!

The Colts injuries

DT Anthony McFarland out all season
LT Tarik Glenn retired before training camp
HOF WR Marvin Harrison 11 games missed (hobbled in playoffs)
The highest paid defensive player in the league at the time, Dwight Freeney 8 games missed
RT Ryan Diem 6 games missed
LT Tony Ugoh 5 games missed
OLB Freddy Keiaho 5 games missed
DT Raheem Brock 5 games missed (hobbled in playoffs)
WR Anthony Gonzalez 4 games missed (hurt on first drive of Pats game)
Tyjuan Hagler 4 games missed
DE Robert Mathis 3 games missed (hobbled in playoffs)
and that’s just guys that were starters. They lost a bunch of the replacement guys to injuries too.
At the end of the season they were playing a D-line with 3 rookies and a second stringer. They played games where their #2 WR was a guy off the Texans practice squad.

The Bears had it worse but not by a lot. The Colts just had more margin for error because of their talent level.

Freeney is playing golf all off season, he says it’s part of his rehab. Everything coming out about him says he’s ahead of schedule and will be 100% for the opener. I’m more worried about Marvin’s knee.

I watched many Colts games last year

They did not have it worse. You mentioned 4 players on offense. Only Harrison missed a majority of the season. Most of the time you were only missing 2-3 guys on offense with the exception of maybe a game or two. Our defense was missing 5-6 starters in the same game in probably 12 games this year. This is not counting that fact that we had 6 reserves on defense that were out including 3 high draft picks from the last 2 years.

Good research. I’m going to look up all my guys when I get a chance and post it. It is not the same situation at all.

I like

Bothe Bills picks, and the fact that they moved from 17 to 23. I would rather they were picking somewhere in the 20 next year. It would be the first time in a while.

The time has come for someone to put his foot down. And that foot is me.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

No way the Colts are going to be SB champions. They made little improvement in the off season (especially with no first round pick) and may have lost Marvin Harrison to prison.

It will either be the Pats, Cowboys, or Chargers

Right because a team that

made the playoffs without the highest paid defender in the league and a HOF WR,
only lost one starter and replaced him with their 1st pick of the draft,
returns every starter from the #1 ranked scoring D,
won the SB with the same core in 2006,
and added depth in the key areas that hurt them last year
has NO chance.

oh and Marvin probably isn’t even going to be charged.

Cheatriots and Chargers are better teams

and you guys always have trouble against 3-4 D’s. I can’t see you getting past both of them in the playoffs.

in 2006

The Colts beat the Ravens and Patriots, who both run 3-4s. The 3-4 thing is overplayed, the Colts have played worse against some of the best defenses, which happened to be 3-4s recently.
