To acquire picks

[12isthenew18]

If we needs pick and wanna trade players which players do you think could be on the trade block

[Yoshinator]

Da'Rick Rogers, LaVon Brazill and Griff Whalen. 

Rogers or Brazill could get us a 4th possibly and Whalen could get us a 6th or 7th.

These guys could be good trade bait as one probably won't make the team anyway and we could get something for him.

We could then take a couple WR's as UDFA's.

Personally, I doubt we'd get more than a 6 for any of those guys.  Except for Brazil, they were all passed over by every team when they were available.

 

I can't remember too many draft day player trades.

Yeah, we might not be able too. Rogers has proved his off the field issues were nothing though and Brazill has shown he's decent. A mid round pick is best-case scenario, that's why I said possibly. I'd prefer to trade Whalen for a 6th if a scenario like this happened. They're aren't too many draft player trades, I was just thinking of something we could possibly do.

Right.  I think as Colts fans we have a lot higher opinion of those three guys than the rest of the NFL.  There are plenty of raw prospects like Rogers and Brazil to be had that may or may not work out.  Whalen was off and on our roster a number of times and no one picked him up for free, so I doubt they'd trade for him.

 

I was looking at a mock where they had us taking a RB in the third and a WR in the fifth.  Some of those guys don't even look at a team when making a mock.  I have my doubts that our Saturday picks even make the team.

Completely agree with your points. I hope we don't take a RB or WR the entire draft personally. I know Grigson has a bad track record with late round picks so far (6th and 7ths mostly). Brazill is our only player that Grigson has drafted that has made the team from those rounds. I remember I did a mock with a trade down, trade our 5th for a 6th and 7th. I believe if we get one player that starts from the 5th round on, it's a win. We absolutely have to hit on our 2nd and 3rd. Safety is a must with either the 2nd or 3rd round pick.

[lollygagger8]

To me, Whalen has shown more than Brazil. Trade Brazil, keep Whalen.

I don't think any of those guys get you a seventh round pick and I would rather keep them than give them away cheap.

I think they will take a WR. Reggie is a big risk and Nicks has been hurt. Everyone thinks we are deep there but we really aren't.

[MFT5]

To me, Whalen has shown more than Brazil. Trade Brazil, keep Whalen.

That's your opinion and you're privy to it but on skill alone brazill is better ... Not to mention those 2 Playoff Tds vs the pats

[Yoshinator]

It would be terrible to take a WR. Even if we aren't deep, this new WR would be the 4th starter at best, and he might not even make the team. I know we need an eventual replacement for Reggie, but this isn't the year to do it.

[Yoshinator]

Whalen is probably a better pass-catcher, but he is relatively slow and can't get much separation. His YAC is also bad from what I've seen from him (don't know the exact stats). Brazill is a more explosive receiver and has more potential. He has the ability to breakout as a possible no2 receiver, something I don't see from Whalen.

[NewColtsFan]

If we needs pick and wanna trade players which players do you think could be on the trade block

 

On draft day,  unless you're trading great players,  your average everyday player has very, very little value.

 

I don't think we're trading anyone.

[IinD]

Other than our important stars, we have nothing to trade. Bug name guys have been cut because no one will trade anything for them.

We don't have much teams want.

[NewEra]

Big fat no to trading Rogers. Not likely we would get his potential in return. We are so stacked as a team it's going to be hard for rookies/UFA to even make the team.

[jameszeigler834]

Get rid of Brazill keep whalen.

This draft is very deep in WRs. I think they will take on in the lower rounds.

[Bravo]

Hope we keep Rogers....

[Yoshinator]

This draft is very deep in WRs. I think they will take on in the lower rounds.

I know it's deep, but it'd be incredibly stupid to take a WR with a precious draft pick that has little to no chance of making the team. We miss on enough late picks and I'd like to hit on a late pick that has a chance of making the team. A late WR probably won't make the team. I realize it's just a guess of yours, but I hope you're wrong.

[The Lucky Neck Beard]

As much as i hate making this comment, I can see us trading away V. Ballard.  

 

If we could get a high enough pick for him ( 2nd? 3rd round?) and take scat back later in the draft, we would have a more rounded stable of RBs and have an other potential starter elsewhere on the team.  

[IinD]

A RB who just tore his acl..you ain't getting a thing for him.

Unless you're trading an aging star (Mathis), we have nothing.

[Buck Showalter]

Hope Grigs trades nothing, and stays put for the most part, take the best talent available when the picks roll in ...
"maybe" make a slight jump here or there if "the" guy they think can contribute falls, (like jumping up for Hilton)..

 

If Grigs acquires any picks I hope it is by sliding back...
 

[ProblChld32]

We dont have much bargaining power, id say Whalen, Rodgers and Brazil are the only guys that would be on the block. i doubt we get more than a 6th or 7th for either a 5th if we are super lucky but chances of that are slim to none.

[lollygagger8]

That's just your opinion. 

[lollygagger8]

This draft is very deep in WRs. I think they will take on in the lower rounds.

 

If we spend a draft pick on WR, I'll probably vomit profusely. <- and not from the Bourbon either. 

[Kyle]

There are plenty of raw prospects like Rogers and Brazil

Not just you, but a lot of people are lumping these 2 together like they are of equal talent and value.  I respectfully disagree.

 

I see Brazil as a solid backup WR.

I see Rogers with a low of Brazil and a high of Vincent Jackson

I understand they have different skill sets, I meant they're both raw in that they have potential but not enough that someone is going to trade for them.

 

If Reggie is truly back and Nicks stays healthy, neither of those guys are going to get much PT.  I'd really like to see them continue to develop Rogers just to see if he can turn into an elite receiver.

[pgt_rob]

We have a history of injury problems. I'd rather keep our WR's for now.
