Should we make a trade for a pick?

[Rob Lowe]

With the large number of talented receivers available in this draft, I'd love to be able to make a trade to get a 1st or 2nd round pick and grab one of them. Watkins, Moncrief, Evans, Lee, etc. would make a great addition to our young offense and as an eventual replacement for Da'Rick. Is it likely that we'll make a move?

[COLTS449]

If we were going to draft a receiver we might as well go all out and trade our 2nd and 3rd for a 1st and get Watkins. More than likely though some big name will drop. Look at Kennan Allen last year.

Our 2nd and 3rd pick wouldn't even get us to the last pick of the first round.  Honestly I don't think there's any way to move up without giving up next year's first.  So it would have to be pretty much a can't miss prospect that somehow slipped to the top of the 2nd round that they felt was worth a 1st and a 2nd round pick.

[GoColts8818]

This is a pretty deep draft at WR.  I'd rather move up in the second round if we really feel like we need too rather than trying to jump into round one but with Grigson you just never know. 

[PrincetonTiger]

No

[OLD FAN MAN]

imo grigs will make some deals, but I think he will be looking for linemen, and he wont want draft picks for that , they take too long to develop, and a lot never do.if we had a first rd he might find one, but I think he might trade some picks for a good player

[Deathiltis]

The Colts won't trade up in the draft nor will they draft a WR. The Colts problem starts in the trenches and there will be plenty of players in this draft that will be able to help and potentially start for the Colts.

[Pombi9]

1st or 2nd round? No I doubt it.

Minor trades in later rounds? you can count on it.

[lennymoore24]

Grigson already showed you can get good receivers in later rounds (TY Hilton).  So just sit where we are.

[Johnny Bui]

I would rather use the draft for WRs or DBs

Use the salary for OLine and Defense.

We don't have many draft picks, so i wouldn't waste them.

 

Grigson did a good job last season, not much this season.

 

2012: Luck, Hilton, Allen, Ballard (around 800 yds rushing, same as richardson)

[SteelCityColt]

No

I concur

[NewColtsFan]

No.     On several levels,  no.

 

First,   we don't have the tradable assets to move up.    What are we going to give to move up to get this WR?   Seriously.

 

Second....    we have lots and lots and lots of other needs that we have to address....   or didn't you see the game Saturday night vs. NE or the first half vs. KC???

 

We need all the assets that we can get.

 

A great team isn't built in a year....   or even three years...    but we need to surround Luck with a LOT more talent.

 

We need to hold on to the valuable assets that we have.     Plenty of good WR's have been found in R2 or later......

1)I look for another mid-level FA acquisition at WR(Nicks? or Edelman?!?!? gasp!) a la DHB and Avery in previous years.  With Reggie back, and the emergence of Whalen, and Rogers+ the continued development of Brazill and Hilton, our WR stable is pretty good.

2)I'm deeply concerned about Grig's talent evaluation at the OLine and Dline positions.  The guys he has brought in on O-line-  McGlynn, Satele, Winston, Thornton, Thomas, Cherilus, and Holmes in the last two season does not a monster build.  On D-line Redding, Chapman, Hughes, Franklin, Jean-Francois, McKinney, again...  underwhelming.

I hope to see a big portion of the monster being built this year via draft and FA.  Mr Irsay, open up your walllet  and pony up for some big uglies.   Sign Alex Mack and draft another lineman(Steen OG Alabama?), Sign the biggest immoveable object at DT(Melton?) and another DE (Hardy?)

3)I think Bethea comes back at a reduced rate.

4)We need an Inside LB(Brandon Spikes?) to play alongside Freeman.  Or is our LB in this year's draft?

5)We need a third veteran RB(Ben Tate?) or draft pick

6)Resign Davis.  Part ways with Toler and sign another veteran(Talib?)

[Maniq]

No WR. Front 7 and O Line.

We have nothing worthwhile to trade up with, it's not happening. WR really isn't the biggest issue too. 

[Bluefire4]

If we draft a WR we need to stay in that original spot. We need all the picks we can get.

[GoDeep]

Hey, let's trade Richardson for a 1st!

[IUfan_Charlie]

Watkins isn't getting out of the top 5, 10 at most. 

[IUfan_Charlie]

Hey, let's trade Richardson for a 1st!

If I was a GM of another team I wouldn't give any pick for him. 

[colts8718]

Please tell me your joking

[GoDeep]

Yes, joking.

[lollygagger8]

 

No more trading draft picks please!!

No... Rogers can't be replaced.

[Kyle]

We should sign Reggie Wayne.

[austriancolt]

I would give up our 2015 first round pick to get an early 2nd round pick (and 4th round pick) an draft Cyril Richardson OG from Baylor or WR Jordan Matthews.

[luckyblue]

Hey, let's trade Richardson for a 1st!

Are you kidding, we'd be lucky to get a 7th round pick for this bum!

[colts52761]

do we need to draft a wr?      1. wayne

                                               2. hilton

                                               3. brazill

                                               4. rodgers

                                               5. whalen

 

I wouldn't mind allen hurns in the 7th. but with allen coming back won't we run more two tight end sets anyway?

[JoKeR]

We don't have anything to offer really, nothing were willing to trade anyway.

[CanuckColt]

Grigson already showed you can get good receivers in later rounds (TY Hilton).  So just sit where we are.

Yeah, but I wish we still had our 1st and 4th...and did NOT have Richardson and Montori.

[Colts420]

i honestly feel TRICH will make everyone eat their words and everyone who was hating on him will be jumping on his bandwagon. He was a stud in college and he was good in cleveland. He also had a better line. Brown is a better runner with this oline. we get a better oline and I bet Richardson will make everyone eat their words

[ponyboy]

Yeah, it would probably take a pretty good player (like Fleener or Allen) and a 3rd or 4th rounder to get into the bottom half of the first round.  I wouldn't do that unless Grigson doesn't think he'll be able to sign all of Luck, TY, Fleener, and Allen in a couple years -- and would lose one of the TEs to FA anyway.   Ballard and Richard will also be FA in that year, but I don't see either of them having trade value this year.

 

For the record, I wouldn't do that trade.  Just saying that's probably what it would take unless you give up next years 1st.

Care to quantify the production you're expecting that would cause "everyone to eat their words"?  Just curious what you're expecting.

[Colts420]

i believe richardson will be a top 10 running back

[ponyboy]

i believe richardson will be a top 10 running back

 

So based on 2013 results that would be about 1200 yards rushing, or 1450 yards from scrimmage, or 4.6 ypc average.. at least one of these.

 

That would be nice.

[John Waylon]

Sure. Lets see if we can send this thread to Jacksonville for a 3rd. 

[CopenhagenColt]

Reggie, T.Y.,Rogers, Whalen, Brazil - Trading up to get a WR in the first, doesn't really seem like a top priority to me.

We have bigger needs ILB, pass rush, safety + trenches.

[cm43sports]

If we're trading up that far then I wouldn't do it for a receiver. I would take Ha'sean Clinton-dix unless Watkins was available.

[LockeDown]

We need creativity to get linemen in here. Kind of like Cuban pitchers. When a team with a great olineman plays us, kidnap him or make an offer so sweet that he hides in the wheel well of the bus. Btw, where are the Cuban football players?

[HGRekks]

I think Jared Abbrederis in the 3rd or 4th is as early as I'd go.

 

I just like typing Abbrederis.

you gotta remember he came in and did nto have a full ota and training camp with us.
