    TRADE IDEA.  I just read where Mark Davis has given new GM Tom Telesco permission to move up in the draft for a quarterback if it makes sense.  They are sitting at pick 13.  We know Ballard was trying to sign Danielle Hunter to a big contract and lost out.  Obviously still trying for that premium ER.  How about Ballard does a trade similar to the Buckner trade.  Offer our pick 15 to the Raiders for Max Crosby.  According to the draft charts our pick coupled with pick 13 results in 2200 points which coincidentally is the equivalent to pick 3 value wise.  They could always add an extra pick or so if need be to trade up. They might not have to go all the way up to 3 either.  I also wouldn’t have a problem including Dayo or Kwity as part of the trade to give them a player to replace Crosby.  I would think a trade like this would be agreed to in advance of the draft and would only go down if the quarterback they wanted was there.  If they did go to three and they liked a couple then I would think it could be done before the draft.  The big question is would the Raiders part with Crosby to get the franchise quarterback they want.  I could see this is a win win if they really want to get a quarterback this year.  Knowing how Ballard tried for the veteran Hunter I could see him at least having the conversation with Telesco. Maybe they say no or maybe they say let us think about it.  If Telesco wants to bring in his own quarterback this is the perfect time for him.  Just a thought on my part two weeks before the draft.  I believe we traded for Buckner before the draft so having a conversation with Telesco now makes sense to me.  If Ballard wants to make a splash move this trade proposal would certainly qualify and fill a major need as well.  Like I said two weeks to go to the draft.  Seems like forever.

    Not a bad idea.

     

    Crosby still has 3 years left on a 94M dollar contract.

     

    No way Ballard will pay that much or even take that on.

    When has this stuff materialized to become true ?There are probably 4 people in that building who know what they are doing with their picks. Steichen, Ballard, Irsay and Brown. I don't believe a word of it. Plus, if they were to trade up, that is a pretty damning assessment of Ballard's drafting at the tight end position as it would say they have already given up on the young guys as  they drafted TE's  in the 2 previous drafts. Do i think they could trade up? Sure but no one knows but those four guys. Remember this is a team who traded for Buckner and not a work of it leaked out. Once again twitter throwing stuff at a wall hoping it sticks.

    Not necessarily.

     

    If Colts are trying to trade up to 9 perhaps they are speaking to the team picking 9 (Chicago) and it leaked out that way ?

     

    That would be more than 4 people.  4 for the Colts and many more for Chicago.

    Im in the minority on Ryan.  I’m not selling that he was very good.  But I think he got too much blame.  I think the complete meltdown of the offensive line made Ryan's job far more difficult than it needed to be. 
     

    I also thought Ballard and Reich gave up on Rivers too soon.  I thought Rivers played really well considering practice was cut way back due to COVID.   He retired the next day after Ballard told him to please give the Colts about two weeks to figure things out.  
     

    I get why…. It’s an easy trade off..  a potential long term answer at QB vs a very short term solution.   I’d make the same choice.  It just didn’t feel right the way it played out.  The NFL business side can get pretty ugly pretty quickly. 
     

    There is no doubt in my mind that Ballard was stringing Rivers along all the while he was negotiating with Philly for the Wentz trade.

     

    Had Ballard committed right away, Rivers would have stayed
