  1. 1. Will The Colts Trade Their Draft Picks During The 2014 NFL Draft?



Recommended Posts

Hi, Colts fans!   :)  Our Indianapolis Colts only have five selections, including one compensartory selection for tonight's 2014 NFL Draft, but do not, unfortunately, have a first-round selection this year.  Colts have the fewest draft selections this year with only five selections, while both the New York Jets and St. Louis Rams each tie the most draft picks entering tonight with 12 selections.

 

What would have been the Colt's 26th overall pick in the First Round of the 2014 NFL Draft tonight, was instead traded to the Cleveland Browns for the Trent Richardson trade after the start of the 2013 NFL regular season last September.

 

Colts other off-season moves involving their draft picks included trading their fourth-round selection, number 127th overall, also to the Cleveland Browns for the Browns 2013 fifth-round selection. Colts used that selection to draft defensive tackle Montori Hughes from Tennessee-Martin.

 

Colts later acquired an additional seventh-round selection, number 232nd overall, in the trade that sent center Allan Quay Shipley to the Baltimore Ravens.

 

Colts however traded their original seventh-round selection, number 241st overall, to the St. Louis Rams, for cornerback Josh Gordy.  Colts won't be able to draft players until Friday Night, beginning in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft.

 

We wish Jim Irsay, Ryan Grigson, and Chuck Pagano, and the Colts coaching and scouting staffs for a successful draft in the next three nights both from the Colts War Room, and at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

The only way I think the Colts will trade draft picks would be a trade similar to the Montori Hughes deal last year. I could see Grigson trading a 4th next year for a 5th this year, seeing as how the Colts have the opportunity to net a couple of compensatory picks next year. Other than that, I doubt we see much wheeling and dealing from the horseshoe this year. With Grigson though, it really is anybody's guess.

I really hope we don't trade.  Trading up would mean giving up picks; we don't have many picks this year and I don't like giving up future picks.  Trading down could mean losing out on some really good talent.  I think we should stay where we are.

 

Big shout out to LucasOilStadium for making the thread!

I think you basically hope the 2nd/3rd picks workout because odds are 5/6/7 are longshots to ever contribute.

This will be an important udfa draft for us because we don't have many picks.

Don't mortgage next years picks, start clean again with all our picks and make moves if need be next year and use those to move around the draft. Go the udfa route and bite the bullet (lack of picks).

I'd only agree with trading picks if we had a 1st rnd pick and could trade it for a extra 2nds and 3rds. I don't see how trading a 2nd rnd pick for multiple late round picks will help the team.

The poll question talked about trading picks....   it didn't say 2nd round or 3rd round....   it just said picks....   which to me means could Grigson make a trade at all....    on any of our picks.

 

And the answer I would think is an overwhelming yes.

 

And yet 9 people said "no".....

 

Okie-Dokie.....

    • Irsay doesn't care about your opinion either. White knighting for the Colts and bullying posters who are negative because they are frustrated with the team since 2014 isn't a good look for you. People don't cry because the team doesn't do what they think they should do, they cry because coaches and GMs that are professionals in their field are either unqualified to do their job (Grigson), or refuse to learn from their mistakes (Pagano, Reich, and Ballard until recently).    This forum just wants to win at this point. Ballard has never won the division. We want to win in the playoffs. Ballard has won 1 playoff game. We want to win games. Ballard is 54-60-1. You know all this, and you deflect it all the time. All you can say is Ballard knows more than people on the forum, as if that makes him a top GM in the NFL.    I don't care if Ballard does things the way I think as long as we are winning. The problem is the way Ballard is doing things, we are not winning. So it adds more ammo that his way isn't working. You compare that to a team like the 49ers, where John Lynch took over the same year as Ballard, and they are winning, and that's not even the fans thinking they know more, that's an actual GM knowing more as an example.    The last point I'm going to make is injuries. We have gotten very unlucky with injuries. That's part of the reason (myself included) a lot of people are negative on this forum. Injuries to top players all over the place have hurt this team. You can pretend like this is a new year and it shouldn't matter and that's in the past, but we're affected by what's happened in prior years, and injuries happen every year. We're already getting injury scares this year with Pittman and Richardson and Daniel Scott is done again.    The bottom line is this forum is going to be negative to an extent until we win. You can pretend everything is great and take out your frustrations on people who don't think the way you do, but you've been wrong since 2015 thinking the way you do, and Ballard's whole tenure. You have no credibility with your position right now. Your only defense is that you think "some of you would rather be right and see the team fail."  We want to win, We just aren't buying it until we see it now. Maybe AR gets the job done, but until he does, it's just more hope.
    • LOL. says the guy that is negative about every aspect of the Colts since your apparent best friend Grigson got fired.      My agenda is and will always be to hope the Colts do well.   Not poo poo everything the team does.   Contrary to the belief of a few here,   Irsay doesn't care about your opinions.   He is going to do what he thinks is the best for the team.    I'll never understand those that cry when the team doesn't do what they think they should do.     Some of you would rather be right, and see the team fail.   I'll never be that fan.   But hey,   you do you
    • At least you finally acknowledged he was "elite".   He was very good pass blocking last year.   I don't know how PFF grades pass blocking or run blocking,   but he has been great from jump street.  I haven't heard any news about a lingering injury this off-season.   Let's see how the year plays out
    • Thanks for all this hard work.  Appreciate the deep dive effort to put all this good info in one place.     Sorry there are so few of us around to enjoy it.  
    • Somebody does all that homework.  A deep dive of information.   And you think this is an appropriate response?
