nelson?
fitzpatric?

I can't imagine no team in the league would want their choice of QB in this draft and be willing to pay a hefty price for that, but if that somehow happened, there'd be a few defenders I'd consider there, and you might even consider playing chicken with the rest of the league by drafting a QB and forcing teams to come to you.

Yeah, I'd need their 2019 and 2020 1s to trade Luck and take a chance on Rosen or Darnold busting.

If Saquon is not available, at 3 that’s actually even better. That would mean one of the marquee QB’s is on the board, and someone will give you a first rounder this year and next, along with a 2nd or 3rd this year. I would take that ransom over Bradley Chubb. I have nothing bad to say about Chubb, except that picking him straight up at 3 is probably our worst outcome in my opinion. We are switching to a 4-3, we have new coaches and a no-name defense, and I just can’t see even a very talented pass rusher making a Freeney-esque impact for several years.

Frank Reich is an offensive guy and I say you stack him with weapons first, and see if you can get a big defensive steal later in the draft. Mathis, Bethea, Bob Sanders, Cato, Thornton, Brackett- none of those guys were first round picks, but you’re not going to find Luck-like offensive talent outside of the first or 2nd rounds.

Ed Edholm from PFW had this thought if no QBs go 1-2:

Quote:

Just spitballing here: If Browns pass on QB at 1, Colts GM Chris Ballard could seize an opportunity to offer 3 to Browns the way 49ers did with Bears last year.

That's assuming Giants don't go QB at 2, which I don't think they will. Colts could get their man at 4 and add picks.

Matt Miller’s latest mock has Colts going Chubb, Sony Michel, and WR Dante Pettis in first three rounds.

Too many good QBs for one to not go 1 or 2, but even if that's the case, I think the Colts stay put or trade back. I think the Colts still get Chubb at 4, 5, or 6 and could start a bidding war between the Browns, Jets, and Broncos for their QB of choice, especially if the Browns go Barkley at 1 and Cousins signs with Minnesota.

I would be pretty happy with the first two. Chubb is a given. Michel didn't run very fast but I still like his game. Dunno anything about Pettis and would rather take a LB in the 3rd.

Based on recent mocks, it seems like the Colts will get really good value with their second pick. Michel would be a really solid pick.

I wish we could some how get Chubb and Nelson. Hell, we gave up a first round for freaking TR.

Getting these 2 players would turn this team around in the right direction.
