Trade down Colts draft

[BProland85]

-Colts trade 2nd for early 3, 4

-Colts trade 2015 4th and RB Vick Ballard for 2014 4, 5

 

Round 3 Pick 6 (JAX): Jeremiah Attaochu, OLB, Georgia Tech (A)
Round 3 Pick 26: Deone Bucannon, SS, Washington State (A)
Round 4 Pick 5 (JAX): Jaylen Watkins, CB, Florida (A)
Round 4 Pick 14 (JAX): Dion Bailey, FS, Southern California (A-)
Round 5 Pick 4 (JAX): Josh Huff, WR, Oregon (A)
Round 5 Pick 26: Jerick McKinnon, RB, Georgia Southern (A-)
Round 6 Pick 27: Aaron Lynch, DE, South Florida (B)
Round 7 Pick 17: Aaron Colvin, CB, Oklahoma (C+)

 

I don't think the trades are very far fetched and with the exception of Bucannon lasting to the end of the 3rd, most picks are pretty realistic. I have us trading Ballard because I think we will be just fine at RB with T-Rich and Bradshaw, not too mention I think McKinnon is a steal late in round 5. Plus Jacksonville has a need at RB so they would consider this deal.

 

With this draft, we have a killer secondary, and can let LaRon Landry go after this year if we want. We also get an underrated pass rusher in Attaochu who can strengthen our pass rush. Huff is a good get at WR in case we can't resign Nicks next year.

no way in the world bucannon falls that far

I just said that the Bucannon pick may be a little out of reach, but its not impossible. Players you don't expect to drop a little always do every year. And this year is loaded more than past years.

[Bluefire4]

Attaochu is going top of the second.

[Dark Superman]

Buchanon won't make it out of round two.. Attochu will go befor Deone

 It would be nice to have that Jax trade Option for our 59 - at the last minute.
 

[Manning1887]

We are going to have to trade up for Attaochu, an option I am growing increasingly in favor of.

 

I like Jaylen Watkins. He actually played free safety at Florida and provides some flexibility in where you could play him.

 

I also like the Jerick McKinnon pick. I think he is a diamond in the rough. He played a couple of different positions in college, great speed, could be a sleeper. Plus, we have Ballard coming off the knee, Bradshaw with the neck, and Richardson yet to show up from Cleveland.

[Indi Warrior]

If all the other owners are high on draft day, sure, why not?

[Defjamz26]

The whole idea of getting injured players in the 7th round because no one will want them, is misleading. That's wishful thinking. Colvin will go in the 5th probably.

[HtownColt]

How do you trade back and still get the guys that most people project to be drafted at our original spot or before?

And Buchanan falls an entire round basically

[BProland85]

Here is another, and for all you pessimists out there, this one's a little more realistic for you...

[FalseStart]

Colts trade 3rd, 5th 2014 for 6th 2014 and 2nd 2015.

 

2014

 

2. DaQuan Jones DT

6. KaDeem Edwards OG

6. Max Bullough ILB or Loucheiz Purifoy CB

7. Boston FS

 

2015

 

1. Amare Cooper WR (Wayne's Understudy-Replacement)

2. Jackson OG

2. Lyons CB

3. Strong Safety...BPA

[Johnny Bui]

Still have doubts about our interior OLine.  I think we should sign a Guard or Center in FA for insurance.  I also heard the Safety depth in the Draft isn't that good, but I could be wrong.  Don't know Louis or Thomas Status for next season.  Maybe pick up Wharton and draft a center.  The draft needs could be mostly defense with FS, CB, DL.  Maybe a TE if we can find a steal in the late rounds.

Vick Ballard is not worth a 4th rounder right now. RB market is soft and he is coming off of an ACL tear. If a team really wanted to get Vick Ballard and we wanted another pick... I think we are looking at nothing more than a 6th rounder. I may be wrong, of course. However, I feel confident in my opinion.

 

In a favorable scenario to trade Vick Ballard for maximum return we would have to showcase him a bit during the season and get a team that is RB needy in mid season that is still competitive in their hunt for a division title. Maybe then... we could fetch a 4th round pick.
