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

#53 overall
#56 overall

That would give the Colts in 2018:

#21 overall (1st round)
#22 overall (1st round)
#35 overall (2nd round)
#53 overall (2nd round)
#56 overall (2nd round)
#67 overall (3rd round)

to fix holes on the team.

Yes, you lose out on "sure" top ten studs but end up picking up a lot of picks of guys who can go onto having long, productive and impactful careers in the NFL. 1st and 2nd round guys should be the foundation of any team's excellence.

OT, OG, DE, ILB, CB and RB in the first 67 picks of the draft at the expense of picking one top five stud and instead picking a guy like Ryan Kelly? YES, please!

Would you make that trade?

Walk Worthy

That would be a great haul. But if you are targeting chubb and think he could be a transcendent player, I think you may have to just sit tight.
