What would the 3rd pick in the draft be worth if...

[Kray007]

the following scenario runs its course:

#1) Cleveland decides to either sign a free agent QB or uses the first pick on Barkley and roll the dice that they can get their guy at QB with the 4th pick

and #2) The Giants decide they're happy with the kid they took last year, and pick Chubb with their 2nd pick.

That would leave the Colts holding the most valuable #3 pick in the history of the draft. 4 of the next 9 teams drafting need help at Quarterback, and you could easily see Ballard creating a bidding war for the pick.

So, just how high could the bidding go?

If you're the Jets, you'd be afraid that both Cleveland and the Broncos would go QB, and if you don't trade up, you're left with the 3rd best player available at the position.

If you're Denver, you're afraid of the Jets leapfrogging ahead of you and taking the guy you're targeting.

I think the bidding starts at 2 #1's and 2 #2's.
