I suppose a couple other teams might make the call to Ballard at the same time, but Buffalo probably has the most attractive position.

I could foresee scenarios where Miami and Arizona might get interested, especially if one (or more) of the QB's is still there at #6. Maybe the Cardinals could offer something #15, #47 and #79 and the Colts send them #6 and #104. Guess it would depend on how sold they are on Bradford.

I could also see a somewhat different group of teams get interested in trading for #6 if Barkley somehow fell that far. Some teams that really need a RB, like Baltimore and Detroit, might struggle to put together a package of draft choices the Colts would like.

But what if an organization like Green Bay felt Barkley could get them another Super Bowl while Rodgers is still the best QB in the league? Personally I would not be inclined to draft Barkley if I were Ballard, given the state of the Colts' offensive line, and what if GB offered, say, #14, #45 and #76 for #6, #104 and #140? (assuming none of those draft choices are traded elsewhere instead)
