Wouldn't this be awesome? Dream Draft Scenarios...

[GuitarMD]

Pre-Draft

- Cousins sign with Vikings. Leaving Broncos, Jets, Cardinals, Bills & Browns all looking for QBs...

 

First Round

- Browns panic and think they can't take Saquon Barkley RB - with #4 and select him #1 overall.

- Giants, with Barkley already selected, take Josh Rosen - QB.

- Now Colts are on the clock with Darnold & Allen are both available... We trade with the Jets who give us their #1 & #2 picks this year, & a pick next year.

- Jets take Sam Darnold - QB

- Brown take Josh Allen - QB

- Broncos take Minkah Fitzpatrick - CB

- Colts take Bradley Chubb - DE

 

Second Round - Colts now have 2 picks in the second round #36, & #37 (from Jets)

#36 - Will Hernandez  - Guard

#37 - Leighton Vander Esch - LB

 

Round 3

Jaire Alexander - CB

(Probably will get snatched up in the second round by somebody, but it is possible).

 

Round 4

Royce Freeman - RB

(His college dropoff in production was due to injury. His running style would complement Mack's.)

In that scenario, I bet the Colts can get an extra day two pick at least. 

 

But if the Colts are at #6 both Chubb and Minkah are available at #5, I will do a happy dance.

I'm cool with this!

[NewColtsFan]

 

Yes......

 

This would indeed be the dream scenario....

 

So good, I'd probably wet my pants!             (What?  Too much?)

 

We can only hope and pray!     From your lips to God's ears.....

Pipe dream. Hernandez and LVE will be long gone by then.

[GuitarMD]

Hernandez and Vander Esch could be gone, but on several "big boards" these guys are typically not above #40 and we would be picking 36, 37 in this scenario.

Although, PFF does have both Hernandez and Vander Esch ranked more highly...

If the Colts end up with Barkley and Nelson that would be a dream draft.  

[Jaredfor3]

Browns will probably just take Barkley at 1 though and select a QB at spot 4.

If they plan to draft a QB the logical thing to do would be use the number 1 pick and make sure they get who they want. If they wait until the 4th pick it's possible 3 could be gone.

Really doesn't seem to matter. If the Browns (Jets too) used every pick they have  for QBs, they probably all be flops.

I would take Nelson before I take Minkah --no contest

[runthepost]

Or the Browns trade us pick 1&4 for ty. Draft Barkley Chubb and Nelson

Browns aren’t going to take a QB at all. They’ll get one in FA. Probably AJ Mccarron

Math isn't my strongest subject but if the Browns hold the 1st and 4th picks and decide to pass at QB at the 1 spot wouldn't there only 2 players picked before they're up again?  Would still leave them with at least one of either Allen/Darnold/Rousen.(or Mayfield if you're a believer).  For a group that hasn't really separated from each other I would say picking their top rank player @ 1 and wait until 4 to address QB is what would be best for that organization.

[Introspect]

Trade Luck to Cleveland for their 1st and 4th picks.

 

Colts would have picks 1, 3 and 4!!!

 

That is the ultimate scenario

take Barkley at #3, Nelson slips to the middle of the 1st, Colts trade up from 2nd round and take Nelson.

 

It is an extreme long shot... but I hope your dream comes true

[crestmount]

Browns will Take Barkley @ #1.  There'e little difference between Allen, Darnold and Rosen--they'll just take the one left over.  That way they end up with the best RB and an equal best QB in the draft.
