Indianapolis Colts trade #3 overall pick to New York Jets (merge)

[danlhart87]

This completely made my day

[DonnieDarko1023]

I hope this works out and Barkley don’t end up a beast 

[Fluke_33]

For inactivity in free agency then this:

 

 

[jshipp23]

Chris Ballard you are redeeming yourself!!!! Now trade #6 pick to Buffalo for even more picks..

[Yoshinator]

This is so huge. I said on my thread last night we would have 6 picks MINIMUM in the first 3 rounds. We are almost there. Wouldn't mind Nelson, Chubb, Minkah, Edmunds, or Roquan at 6. So many possibilities now. Ballard just turned the draft on his head!

Now let's go and get the big guy at 6 please!! Nelson for the win

You don't draft a freaking Guard in the top 6. Tackle, yes.

 

Dallas didn't draft Zach Martin or Frederick until the teens.

Some need to slow down and think here there is no guarantee that denver takes a QB there is a huge possibility that Barkley Chubb and Nelson will all be gone so who else could be a target? 

Denzel Ward, Roquan Smith, Tremaine Edmunds just off the top of my head

[Legend of Luck]

We are essentially guaranteed to get Chubb, Barkley, or Nelson.

 

There's a small chance that all 4 qbs go in the first 4 picks, and then we have our choice of 2 of them.

[bananabucket]

Call me crazy but I want Roquan now.  There should be some valuable iOL in the second.

 

Couldnt complain with Nelson though.

There’s other running backs too. I hope we can get Penny in round 2.

Tremaine Edmunds!!

 

My favorite prospect in this Draft.

Johnny Football was a baller...

RG3 was a baller...

Sammy Bradford was a baller...

Case Keenum was a baller...

 

 

List of ballers goes on and on. But ballin in NCAAF and the NFL aren't, unfortunately, the same thing.

 

Hope Baker has a great career, but numbers just don't support it.

I mean... Johnny football and RG3 were very different types of players and one was an addict and the other one had devastating injuries. Same with Bradford who is actually a pretty good and accurate QB when he's healthy. His problem is not his play, it's his health. Case Keenum is not of the same level as the previous 3 mentioned as prospects.

I just said that to my best friend on the phone. Get another 2nd and 3rd if you can!

To me, Baker is Johnny Manziel 2.0 and should be avoided at all costs.

[Case]

Bring on Nelson at 6. Let’s gooooo

Much rather get Chubb (if he’s still available) and Hernandez or Wynn in the second, than select Nelson over Chubb.

Nailed it!

Is he a 3-4 LB or 4-3? Or since he’s in the middle would it not matter?

[Indy Fan]

He may even try to move back with the Bills to grt more ammunition. Definitely will be a more interesting draft considering who may be available at 6. Hoping for Nelson.

[Colts_Fan12]

Just now, Mr.Debonair said:

Fitzpatrick

Edmunds

Davenport

Ward

Roquan Smith

Vita Vea

Derwin James

My main point is everyone keeps saying we will still grab one of the elite guys when they honestly will all be gone. Barkley to the giants and Chubb to the browns and Nelson to the Broncos. If that happens I hope to trade again with Buffalo 

[coltsfan77]

There you go for all bashing the GM!! Have to give him a chance! Great move Ballard!!

[Virtuoso80]

now back to free agency .......

[Shive]

Definitely amazing value with that trade. We may have been able to swing a slightly better trade on draft day, but also potentially a worse one if the players picked didn't fall our way.

 

Depending on the players on the board at 6, we may be able to still trade a few more picks back and stockpile even more.

I'm not sure a few second rounders fix this team more than getting one of the elite pieces possibly available. It looks okay on paper, but there's a risk here.

For sure. 

But of the guys who just got PAID this off-season, how many were top 10 picks?

It is a crapshoot but the key isn't to target guys who you think are going to be stars, but guys who will make it to a 2nd contract. The pool of players who have star potential is small and clouded with mud. The pool of players who will make it to a 2nd contract is a lot bigger and somewaht less cloudy.

I'm thinking the same but more like whover has the 9th or 10th pick

[bananabucket]

He's 4-3 all the way.  Most project him to WILL but I think he'd make an excellent Tampa 2 MIKE.  Might be in the minority on that one though.

[Southside Hoosier Fan]

At #6 I am guessing its Nelson, Chubb, maybe Ward?

IMO we should wait until the draft and see who's there. If Chubb is there I have hard time seeing Ballard passing on him.

I'm thinking Nelson or Chubb if either make it, if not, Tremaine Edmunds at 6. So many possibilities though.

The Giants met with Rosen at his pro day. I still don't buy all the talk about them 100% not going QB.

I think it's possible that the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd pick are all QB's. And then it gets interesting with the Browns pick for sure.

How do you figure we are guaranteed one of them??

This is a great deal. Looking like Chubb or Nelson for sure now. After that, every single pick must be BPA. 

It’s st Patrick’s day and you forget to include Fitzpatrick!

Schefter

"OUR 2019 2nd round pick"?

[WarGhost21]

I want Nelson at 6 now, but most mock drafts I've seen have him going the Denver at 5, so if all 3 are gone by our pick, the pick value will skyrocket seeing as only 2 QBs would be gone, and I think we might be able to trade down and get Buffalos 2 first rounders even though the pick values would be off a lot!

[Case]

4 picks in the first 50!!!!

[Mr.Debonair]

Not sure on that one either

[#7ForDays]

Because now, the Browns are forced to draft a QB at #1 as the alternative is picking the 3rd qb in the draft 

[Defjamz26]

He had no choice. You can’t do what we did in FA and roll into the draft with only 7 picks and expect to compete. This needed to happen. I’m still expecting Chubb though.

[NewColtsFan]

Great way to wake-up out here in So Cal!

 

A terrific haul to trade back three spots.   We will still be in play for a ton of talent, PLUS we might still trade back a second time picking up more high picks for 18 and maybe even 19.

 

Perfect.

 

Personally,  I think we have a poor chance at Chubb, maybe 15 percent, an ok chance at Nelson, perhaps no more than 40-50 percent...   

 

We are just so well positioned to do whatever we want....

 

(Now.... if we could just sign some players....  )
