A starting point for that type of trade would be to include the next two first round picks in addition to Pick 13. So 3 first round picks - and that still probably wouldn't get it done.

Detroit or New York could also turn around and shop the pick to the Chargers if they weren't enthused about moving all the way down to Pick 13.

Plus, there were a lot of "experts" who doubted Herbert would make it in the league before the draft.

My bad, I thought we were using “hindsight”

I know, I know. However, even if the Colts had conviction that Herbert was going to be great, it might have been difficult to move up from Pick 13 to select him.


Another QB option out of that draft was Jalen Hurts. Perhaps the Colts should have used one of their two second round draft picks (Michael Pittman, Jr and Jonathan Taylor) on Hurts instead.

I don't like that game. It is like when the media does a "redraft" years later. It isn't reality, so why chase the what ifs?
