But outside of Pugh (if his back is actually healed) I'm not convinced those players exist in FA or where we're likely to pick in the draft.

It may have been the interview with Cowherd, but I remember Ballard listing interior OL as one of the best positions in the draft. Maybe he has his eye on 1-2 guys there.

With the third pick in the 2018 NFL Draft the Indianapolis Colts select Guard Quenton Nelson from Notre Dame ...

Meanwhile the pain in the right shoulder of Andrew Luck subsides a bit ...

Remember all of the "Do something Grigs" posts a couple years ago? Where are they now?

A UDFA guard is about to get a huge contact and you want to spend the #3 overall pick on a guard? The positional value isn't there. That pick has to be Chubb.

JMV is saying right now that Louis Riddick is suggesting that Bills are talking with the Colts about the #3 pick. Speculation.....not reporting but still......

They don't have enough to get to 3. 12 doesn't guarantee Chubb or Davenport. Getting an impact pass rusher out of this pick is more important than trading down and value. If they move up to at least 7 and still have either 21 or their 2019 1, that would be doable. Without that, no thanks.

We know the Bills would love to move up. We don't know if the Colts are serious about moving down.

The speculation doesn't suggest anything otherwise.

Yes I do, I am always for the big ugly guys Dammy, always have been ...
Hell I am one you met me remember?
Doesn't do us any good to rush the passer if Luck is on sidelines hurt ... Just my opinion

Chubb is DL, just as much "big uglies". My point was quality guards can be found later (much later) in the draft. Finding quality pass rushers later in the draft is a lot harder.

I know your point quite well, not as sold on Chubb as you obviously are. There are quality guards sure but not quite like Nelson. If we don't protect our franchise QB all is for naught in my opinion. Not trying to change your mind... Just be glad I am not the guy who gets to pick. You will probably get Chubb at #3 and can say I told ya so. All that I still take Nelson ...
