Colts Cast: Colts Draft reactions, recap of Rounds 1-3 Apr 25, 2020

Show notes

The Indianapolis Colts headed into the 2020 NFL Draft with no picks in the first round, and that remained true as they passed on trading into the first round as some suspected they may attempt to do. On Day 2, the Colts did make a trade, but it wasn't the path typical of GM Chris Ballard. At the end of the day, the Colts did indeed make three picks, grabbing Michael Pittman at No. 34 overall, they moved up to No. 41 from 44 overall to take Wisconsin running back Jonathan Taylor, and added Julian Blackmon (DB) with the No. 85 overall selection after trading back from No. 75 overall (with the Lions). Matt Danely is joined by the boys from Stampede Radio (Chris Blystone, Chris Shepherd, and Jim Campbell) to discuss their thoughts on how the first round played out, their reactions on the Colts picks on Day 2 of the NFL Draft, as well as some of what we all have witnessed with the 'virtual' aspect of the draft process thus far, including some interesting Roger Goodell takes. The Colts, for now, still hold four more picks for Day three (Rounds 4-7), and have some clear areas of need that the guys discuss as well, as the Colts draft haul rounds into place.

Colts Cast: Colts 2020 NFL Draft Primer Apr 22, 2020

Show notes

There are less than 24 hours until the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft is officially underway. This year presents an interesting twist to the draft as the vast majority of it will be conducted in the homes of those participating, including the NFL Commish himself. Chris Ballard, Frank Reich and their scouting staff have worked tirelessly for months upon months to get to this point in order to boost the skill of the Indianapolis Colts' roster. The boom stage of free agency has ended, and the Colts have made a few moves. Now, it's time for the team to use the draft for their bread and butter additions for the future of the organization. Today, Matt Danely will discuss some of the pertinent news surrounding the team over the past couple weeks, including how recent additions will affect the team, as well as other additions that were brought in. Sheldon Day, Roosevelt Nix, T.J. Carrie, Xavier Rhodes just as a starting point to discuss the movement of the team. Does this mean the Colts will focus on offense through this draft? While a healthy dose of their picks could come on that side of the ball, the defense needs some top talent as well. Danely will go through his top positional needs for the Colts heading into the draft, discussing how he would prioritize them idealy, and he will also touch on the top five talents at those positions determined by the Stampede Blue team within their portions of the 2020 Draft Guide ($4.99). Matt finishes today's show by running through the top 30 players on the Stampede Blue big board as well. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Colts Cast: Rivers-Colts connection parallels to another HOF worthy QB Mar 22, 2020

Show notes

With the recent acquisition of Philip Rivers to the Indianapolis Colts, there are still some questions that can, and will only be answered by what we see on the field. We can look back on Rivers' history to tell us he's a Hall of Fame worthy quarterback when looking at the totality of his career, or we can pick and choose a few seasons, look at his stats and argue otherwise. Additionally, the past season (23 TDs, 20 INTs) may be what some will hang on to and suggest that it's the beginning of the end for the former Chargers' passer. We can do this all off-season long, and the arguments could go back and forth, and nobody will actually be wrong. Today, however, Matt Danely wants to talk about a possible parallel that Rivers could hold to another Hall of Fame quarterback that Colts' fans know very well. He went to another team after he was thought to be on his last leg, he took a young, underwhelming roster to the next level. And, it wasn't just off of his arm talent in which he was able to achieve that. Matt talks the latest Colts news in free agency, releases, and re-signings, this intriguing parallel of top tier quarterbacks of our time, and speaks with Derek Togerson of NBC San Diego to discuss what Philip Rivers brings to this Colts roster that is dying to surge defensively, but deserves a top-notch all-time quarterback to get this offense to explode.
