I think that either Pickett or Ridder would be worth a pick. Roll with them this r and if it doesn't work out draft another in 23 when we have a 1st round pick to be able to move up.

Then let one of those two replace Sam as backup if they are better

I'd take Mariota or Winston over Baker for many many reasons but mostly because we don't have to trade any picks

I hitched to this wagon a while ago. Pick your best FA QB or roll with sam. I was for picking next QB next year, including trading up as high as possible. But i like your idea of picking QBs back to back years if needed.

If we are rolling with Sam, for fucks sake sign Armstead. If the O-line plays remotely to its 2020 level with Armstead added Sam will have all day to throw the ball. If that is how we are going make him look better than he is.

He wants $23.9m Per Year, Ballard's calc says he is only worth $23.87, so sorry, hard pass.

In Ballard WE ARE FUCKED!

Armstead was waiting to find out if Watson was going to the Saints. He most likely would have returned to them if they landed Watson.

There are reasons for players still being available. They are looking at the total landscape of the NFL. Plus he is always hurt it seems. I'm not sure Ballard wants to try another injured LT.

I assume he will make a decision this week. Looks like it may be the bears though.

La'el Collins is also still available

Collins plays RT? Is he capable of the move and still perform at a high level? No matter who we have throwing the ball protecting his blindside is a must, especially a young guy back there sling'n it.

That 3rd or even 2nd round pick isn’t going to get you a quarterback as good as Mayfield. It’s just not.

So what’s the point of protecting that pick when you still have NO ONE at quarterback and that pick isn’t going to get you someone? What’s the benefit?

Because of the reliance on draft picks to fill EVERY hole on the roster you need that pick for LT, WR, TE, or CB. The argument a few are making is just to sign Mariota or Winston and then use the first next year on your QB. So we are looking at another wasted season to draft a rookie QB (hopefully) who of course you can’t expect to win right away, so in all likelihood you are looking at the 2024 Colts starting to get actually competitive. Just in time for Houston and Jacksonville to also be on the upswing. And people were telling me I how ridiculous I was being in 2018 saying Ballard’s methods will result in an unnecessarily long rebuild.
