I think the Colts would have move up for either of them, but 100% agree on the picks

What field stretcher did the Chiefs have last season? You don't need a field stretcher , you need an accurate qb. If AR pans out, our recievers are good. What we NEED is a LB that can cover, a FS and maybe a corner. I put WR down the list on needs

It was no real shocker that there was such an early run on QB's when you look ahead at next year's class:

Damn Doug. I am agreeing with a lot of your takes today

I voted DeJean before seeing Mitchell, AD then DeJean for me

Seems like a nice young man that loves the game. Good personality. Good at communicating, not robotic like some guys are that overthink their responses. this is a pick I really like. He was my #1 guy I wanted assuming the top 3 WR would be gone. I just was afraid Ballard would go Turner instead because of the athleticism.

Yes, Cooper or DeJean at 46 would improve the back seven. I think we still go defense at 46, since that seems to be where the value is.

If the Colts do target Cooper in the 2nd ,they might have to jump in front of the Titans. Some noise there. Although, Junior Colson was their only Top 30 LB visit. Colts use over 90% of pre draft (Official) visits on players projected in rounds 3-6

My expectations have always been for the Colts to add a really promising WR prospect sometime on Day 2. I'm starting to think that might not happen. The late run on WRs kind of sucked the value out of the second round, IMO. There are some guys, but a couple that I thought would be there are gone already, and I bet a couple more go early tonight. Plan A has been severely compromised. Beyond that, I could easily see DeJean or Cooper being BPA when we're on the clock, and if so, those picks would make perfect sense. And we're still without a significant add at WR. So if it goes that way over the next couple days, I wonder what Plan B would be. Find a trade for a young guy, maybe Drake London? Maybe a Diggs-like deal for someone that isn't on our radar? Any chance the Bears are thinking about moving DJ Moore?

It is nice to get the best defender in the draft (on the Colts board).

The full presser:

No, I would prefer a rookie contract for any new WR. If we were closer to the SB window, I might add another $20M+ WR contract then. And Deebo seems to get dinged up, not sure I'd take him with the money he would demand. Overall, without seeing AP with AR, I'm not certain that either Aiyuk, Deebo, or Higgins is $17M (plus a draft pick) better than AP at this point.

He's got jokes too:

I wouldn’t trade for any of the wide receivers you’ve been talking about for at least a month. Do you think Ballard wants two WR’s making a goal of roughly $50m. ?!? Not me. And you’ve been told several times that Cincy management promised Burrows that Higgins would be on the 24 Bengals. You’re either forgetting this or ignoring this.

Yeah, not too interested in Deebo. I am interested in Aiyuk, but he probably isn't going anywhere. I'm still good with Pierce, take us another guy to compete with him in 4th or 5th round.

if they have to make a move, I would see them offering Samuel's. Aiyuk is a field stretcher and Samuel has been beaten up because of the type of game he plays. Aiyuk will not be going anywhere. We need a field stretcher

I think Reich was broken by the beginning of 2022, so I don't know if there was any pairing that would have worked for him. But Stroud would have been the best bet.

9 OL went so I was close on one

So 1st of, the OP is updated I wanted to go through draft day trades and evaluate them vs the trade vue charts. Vikings-Jets deal: Vikings send 11, 129 (4th round), 157 (5th round) Jets for 10, 203 (6th round) 10 - 1300 203 - 10.2 1310.2pts 11 - 1250 129 - 43 157 - 28.6 1321.6pts Jets actually took a 6th round loss on the drop down. Vikings-Jaguars deal: Vikings get: 2024 1st-round pick (No. 17)(950) 950pts Jaguars get: 2024 1st-round pick (No. 23)(760) 2024 5th-round pick (No. 167)(24.6) 2025 3rd-round pick(116) 2025 4th-round pick(24.6) 925.2pts Vikings got additional 5th round value for moving down. So Vikings in these 2 trade downs won both trades by additional 5th + 6th Cowboys-Lions deal: Cowboys rec:# 29 +73 Lions rec: #24 and a 2025 seventh-round pick. 24 - (740) 2025 7th - (1) 741pts 29 - (640) 73 - (225) 865pts Cowboys gained 124pts, a late 3rd, in trade down(#94 pick value) Bills-Panthers deal: Panthers rec: #32, #200 Bills rec: #33, #141 32 - 590 200 - 11.4 601.4pts 33 - 580 141 - 35.5 615.5pts Difference of a 6th round pick. Chiefs-Bills deal: Chiefs rec: #28, #133, #248 Bills rec: #32, #95, #221 28 - 660 133 - 39.5 248 - 1 700.5pts 32 - 590 95 - 120 221 - 3 713pts Another trade with a 6th round difference in value So on this small sample size, I would say these trades were pretty close to the charts. Outlier is Cowboys trade with a big gap. Links must of really wanted their guy, I'm sure there was competition to get to that spot, so an overpay makes some sense.

I'll be surprised if we see that again anytime soon. What's really going be interesting is if any are franchise worthy in a few years.

That's because it's never happened before
