  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.....

    • I think I can speak for most local Hoosiers and say that quite a bit of us are knowledgeable on the comings and goings of the team.    Yes, we are loyal to our team, but we’re not blind fools who eat up everything the team feeds us. We like football. We like going and supporting our Colts even when they aren’t the best.    I’m telling you, even though we lost that final game to the Texans, you could feel the energy in the stadium. We’re back, loud and proud for the Shoe. 
    • To your last sentence.   That isn't irony.  Buy a dictionary.    Second,  I've never bullied anyone in my life.   The word is way overused.      Third,   you've never been to a home game.   You have zero idea about home crowd fans.    Fourth,  just stop.   It's embarrassing 
    • Yep, Ballard and Irsay have sold the "illusion of hope". That's what happens when you draft a QB 4th overall. People will become positive and pay their hard-earned money to see if we can win again. Of course, Manning and Luck set a precedent for that as well. These fans are positive because of them more than anything Ballard has done as GM.    These fans are mostly casuals as well and don't pay attention to the team like this forum does. Them going doesn't make the team any more or less likely to win. All it means is they are loyal at best, and naive at worst thinking things will randomly be different. All Irsay and Ballard have to do is change things every year and sell a false bill of goods to convince fans to keep coming. It's also hard to quit on a sports team and lots of fans are diehards. Finally, not all the fans who go to the games are optimists. Some know what is going on with the team and they go anyway because they live in Indiana, or they are rich, or they are taking their kids. Lots of reasons.    It's not even the fact that you're "bullying" that bothers me. It's the fact that your bullying is disguised as being a positive fan that defends the team that's irritating. If it were a negative fan doing what you do, they'd get in trouble on here for it. You have an agenda, you like to start arguments with people because of that disguised bullying, and you know you'll get away with it because it makes you look like you're defending the team from negativity.    Also ironically, I wrote 5 paragraphs in my previous post, and you deflected away from most of it.
