      team are as good as it gets imo when it comes to the draft. If you look back at all his draft picks since he’s been with the Colts, he’s hit on a high % of players that went on to have successful careers. You can’t say that about a lot of GM’s

      @@TheBlueHeavyHorseshoe yeah, I suppose. It's the hardest position in sports to draft and many GM's have been fired trying to force a QB only to set themselves back 5+ years.
      Overall, I thought he handled the QB situation well enough. He tried to trade up for Herbert, but couldn't get a trade partner. Settled with some stop gap FAs with varying degrees of success and then finally got his guy last year. The only move I did not like at all was Wentz and that was Frank's guy. I liked the Ryan pick, so it would be hypocritical for me to critique him on that one.
      So sure, in a perfect world the turnaround would have been instant. But let's be realistic - how often does that actually happen? Overall I think he did a decent job given the circumstances. Certainly not perfect, but this is real life, not madden.

I would like and some other Colts Fans want them to draft an Elite WR like Harrison Jr,Nabers or Thomas Jr. some like Odunze I like Thomas Jr. better he is faster , Bigger and will be better long term.

    I can tell everyone will hate this draft on the Colts end. I don't see them getting anyone that we will like. I don't see them getting MHJ or Brock Bowers. I don't think they will get another receiver at all. This man really thinks Alec Pierce is a good receiver. A guy who hasn't grown at all. A guy who has drop the ball more than Josh Downs even though Downs got better in his rookie season. With the Colts we use to have some elite level talent at receiver. Now it's just a joke. After the team choking to make the playoffs again maybe they will realize the fact that they have no guys that get open but Downs. Defense might get better but again something you can find in the draft as well. Their are some guys who can help.
