Hypothetical Trade Scenario with Colts

Recommended Posts

That's not happening.

Not for Garcon or Anthony Gonzalez. Erik Coleman is worth a second string Colts receiver and maybe a mid-late round draft pick.

Coleman is worth a late round pick, and thats it. I couldnt see us getting more than a 6th for him. He just lost his starting job, why would teams want him if they arent desperate. Melvin Bullitt is prolly better than Eric Coleman.

If IND trade any WR it would be Gonzo, since h cant stay healthy, and why would we want that?

I thought about that, but Coleman is a steady guy who's relatively injury free and knows the cover 2 scheme. BTW i have no basis for this being a reality.

DeCoud is in his 3rd year and did not play much in his 1st year.

Moore is in his 2nd year and missed nearly all of his first year due to injury

Schillinger is a rookie and has not played very much.

All that equals little experience (regardless of the amount of talent there)

That would be the entire safety corps if you traded Coleman.

Yes I know Williams can fill in (if needed) but that would be desperate and emergency.

I do not think the Falcons would consider trading Coleman at the present time.

I think fans need to stick with making draft proposals for Madden, and let the GM and people affiliated with the Falcon's organization deal with real life player proposals. They know what goes on behind closed doors, and they know which players are valued higher and know more about their assets and liabilities along with other team's assets and liabilities that we see on tv.

Not a good idea to trade our most experienced DB in our scheme. I do understand why you would suggest this, but we need Coleman, he is great insurance for us because he can play both the FS and SS positions.

Exactly! Even if Moore keeps the starting job, Coleman is too valuable to trade. If either DeCoud or Moore gets hurt (and Moore's been hurt a lot) Coleman could step in for either. Otherwise, you have rookie Schillinger backing up both positions.

I don't think Coleman is worth that much, and I also don't like the idea of having Schillenger is the primary backup either at this point.

Even if the Colts were open to the idea, I doubt TD would. It doesn't seem like he has had any interest in adding any other WR this year.

I would have to say no. The reason is right in front of us in the form of Spoon's injury. We have a very solid number 4 linebacker that stepped in when we needed him. That is the same safety net we have with Coleman. I don't want Shan having to fill in just yet.

The only way we could do that is if we signed Micheal Lewis who was just cut by the niners, as someone mentioned we are thin in terms of experience at safety....we have alot of young talent but not much experience.

Even if we did not trade Coleman I would not mind picking up Lewis for even more depth even though that would not happen.

Agreed !

Coleman is a solid insurance policy at both S spots.

I also agree that our WR depth is lacking but hopefully Jenkins fixes that and returns this week. Douglas is really worrying me with his drops though. He simply drops every ball when there is contact.
