If you have a smartphone, you get alerts on that sort of thing. Step out of the 80s and into the 21st century, Pags.

I would have to give this one serious consideration.

I might entertain it, and then go get Kirk Cousins in free agency, trade the 1st overall pick for a kings ransom, draft Barkley and Chubb with the 3rd and 4th picks, and hope that with the trade of the 1st pick i am able to still grab guard Nelson.

Don't think that there is any chance that the Browns would offer that much for a damaged Luck though.

I would have a hard time doing that to Andrew Luck...

Yes.

1.06 would be a great spot. If three QBs and Barkley go top 4, you could have your pick of Chubb, Roquon Smith, or OL depending on who Denver takes at 5.

I honestly could see NFL teams falling in love with any of those 6 guys and wanting him to be "their" guy and going and trading up to get him.

Sure, Darnold and Rosen may go #1 and #2....but Mayfield, Allen, Jacksona nd Rudolph are also as viable of franchise QB candidates as the other two.

I could easily see all six guys going in the top 15 picks of the draft.

And, I could see the Colts being able to trade down multiple times to end up in the middle of the draft with a ton of O-Linemen or defensive picks on the board with Top Ten grades and multiple 2nd round picks.

Who knows, but all 6 of those QBs make a case to fall in love with their potential.

Walk Worthy,

Rosen and Darnold are coveted much higher than the rest. True, the others can have teams wanting them, but I don't think a King's ransom would be given for them. A decent 1 and a 4 maybe, but not much more.

The Texans traded the Browns their 1st round pick (#25) and their 2018 first round pick (which will be #4, but obviously they had no way of knowing that ), for the #12 overall pick last year to grab Deshaun Watson.

The Chiefs traded the Bills their first round pick (#27 overall), their 3rd rounder and their 2018 first rounder to move up to #10 to grab Patrick Mahomes.

I think that guys like Mayfield/Allen will have similar value and that if it's moving up to #3, the asking price should be, at a minimum, this year's #1 (and it better be a first half selection) and next years' as well as another round pick in 2018.

I agree with you that guys like Mayfield/Allen aren't going to grade out as being "Trade The Franchise Worthy", but I do think that it's possible that if two QB's go one-two and there's a bunch of other QB-starved teams that it's possible a run on QB's to open the draft could cause a team to desperately trade the Colts a healthy sum.
