Which trade down/scenario would you prefer?

[BProland85]

Mine would be option 3 with Miami. Indy would get an extra 1st rounder next year, a very good young WR to pair with Hilton, and my favorite OL prospect in the draft.

[Maniac]

3.

 

because I want nelson

[rockywoj]

The problem with option 3 is, at this point n time, I think Nelson will be gone before the 11th pick. 

[Shive]

Option 1 would be safe. Extra draft capital and still get our stud DE.

 

Option 2 wouldn't be a bad choice. Fitzpatrick would give us a beast CB to pair with Wilson, Hairston, Hooker, and Geathers to give us an insane young secondary. Add to it 2 additional 2nd round picks, which would be great in a draft with some good talent that will fall to the 2nd.

 

Option 3 would be a no-go for me. I wasn't a fan of going after him as a FA due to the contract he'd want as a slot WR and I definitely wouldn't want to give up draft capital to get him AND pay him top dollar.

[SolidGold]

Trade down with Jets #6. Get their rd 2 # 50 pick + 4th rd #102 pick+ 2nd rd 2019 pick.  

1. Q.Nelson

Honestly I don't see any of them being as that realistic.  Chubb lasting to 5, Fitzpatrick lasting to 6 or Nelson lasting to 11.

 

There would have to be a serious run on QB's at the top end of the draft for that to happen.

Mine actually could happen.

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

Easy 3

[ColtsBlueFL]

#1 isn't happening, unless Elway really wants Barkly or Chubb.  I think he is all in on Cousins, and Paxton Lynch to back him up.  Trevor Siemian and Brock Osweiler will be out.  He may draft another QB to to compete with Paxton down the road (besides Chad Kelly), as the QB class is deep.  A good one can be had in later rounds, and I hope Ballard gets one of those too.

[Rackeen305]

You know whats going to happen? The same thing that happened 2009 Draft (GB pk 26 - Clay Matthews, Colts pk 27 Donald Brown) . Because everyone wants to believe that Nelson will be there at 11, lets say Colts go with your idea and trade to get the 11th pick, Once the 10th pick comes around, Quenton Nelson will be picked up and the entire board will be PMSing. So I guess 31 other teams dont believe or know who Q.Nelson is, Only the Colts...

 

I remember the 2009 Draft like it was yesterday. The Colts needed pass rush and was banking on getting Clay at the time, here comes GB selecting the player you coveted 1 pick ahead. It happens all the time. IF you see a player you really like, Dont bet on that he'll be there later on. 31 other teams have scouts too. 

[Samu-Rye]

Or #4, Barkley goes first,Chubb goes second,and the Colts get a boatload of picks to trade back. Some team would give up alot, to get their pick of QBs.

[RealityIsLuck]

I'd like 2 picking Chubb in a perfect world. I doubt he goes at 4 (assuming Cle takes QB+Barkley) and Den has no need for Chubb. If not, 3 is a really, really, really good offer but I don't think Nelson makes it that far. But I'd be over that trade even if we're stuck with a guy like Raqoun Smith or Tremaine Edmunds/Denzel Curry.

[Superman]

I'm not thrilled with any of them (still not all that high on Fitzpatrick, to be honest), but I think I hate #3.

Are you not an advocate for drafting Chubb in round 1? To get him and an extra 2nd and 4th round pick would be ideal.

I'm not convinced Chubb will be there at #5. Presumably, Denver would come up to #3 for a QB, but who knows what the Browns do at #4, or whether they have that pick for sale at that point. If Denver is coming up for a QB, that would mean they didn't sign Cousins, which might mean Cousins is in Cleveland. 

 

#1 is definitely the best option. It seems risky right now, though. We'll see what happens in free agency.

[DaColts85]

#1 is the best option.  I would hate to do #3 because now you have a WR that wants to much money and is basically a one year rental unless you give him a 3yr/45mil deal ( a HUGE no thank you).  I love Nelson but he looks like a guy that would be gone by #11.  I see Chicago or 49'ers grabbing him.

[stitches]

I kind of like all of them... except for 3... I don't like it because i don't like how much money it would take to keep Landry long-term. 

[UKColt13]

3.

 

Having Nelson, Landry and a future first is too good to pass up.

[Fisticuffs111]

#3 is my least favorite.

I voted for #2 but I'm not as high on Minkah as some, at least not as high as I was before I really started doing (amateur) research. I just like getting those two 2nd rounders. #1 would be fine too if Chubb made it to #5, and really I flip flopped quite a bit choosing between that and #2.

Who would take Chubb? Tampa Bay is the biggest threat and they pick at 7. Browns are going to pick Fitzpatrick at 4. Denver will pick a QB.

[NewColtsFan]

I think there is a near ZERO chance that Nelson will be available at 11.

 

If Chance Warmack and Jonathan Cooper can go in the top-10, then Nelson can and will.    

 

Nelson is being compared to Hall of Fame caliber players.   And since this is NOT a great draft, the chances of him still being on the board at 11 are incredibly small.

I am with you Nelson goes top 10 I think TB takes him at 7 if he doesn't go before then. Edmunds is my pick at 11. I was looking at Hurst before the heart issues 

[Aluckiswolverine]

# 4 we trade with the Browns since they chose SB #1.

 

 We move back one spot still take Chubb and we get Browns 1st next year and a extra 2nd this year. 

 

Browns brown it up and we get a top 10 pick at minimum next draft.

No Hurst?!?

 

You're heartless!!      

[rockywoj]

From Me me Mayock, as reported at NFL.com ...

 

”Mayock doesn't completely close the conversation for the Giants at a QB vs. Barkley, though.

His darkhorse for the Giants' pick at No. 2?

Notre Dame OG Quenton Nelson.

"I think Barkley and Quenton Nelson are the two best players in this draft," Mayock said.”

[LJpalmbeacher2]

I did not vote for any of the options. 

With Barkley gone, I would trade down to #6 woth jets and also get their 2 2nd rd. picks......Then I would trade down to #11 woth dolphins and also get their 2nd, 3rd, plus a player( Landry or Drake).

 

Then at #11 i would Draft LB Roaquan Smith.

 

So by trading down 8 spots we wind up with R. Smith, Landry or Drake, 3 2nd's plus our own, and 1 3rd plus our own.
