I have 2 I can see happening:

 

1st: Colts trade number 37 to the Broncos for pick 40 and pick 99. At 37 Broncos Select Guice

 

2nd: Colts trade number 49 to the Buccaneers for pick 53 and a 4/5 round pick and they select Guice (this is going off Zierlein's mock day 2 Bucs want to jump in front of the Lions to select there future RB in Guice)

3rd rounder to move up 3 spots in the 2nd is pretty unprecented (even though it's comp pick). Teams paid relatively less to move up in the 1st round just yesterday.

Yes.  The first rounders were for sale due to the lack of normal 1st round talented players in this draft, supposedly.  We'll see if the player value tightens up as we get into the better-valued part of the draft.

It's very rare that a team takes back to back picks anywhere in the draft...much less this early. Typically they have one target...and then a small list of guys that they like at that pick. Once they get their target then you feel good and then trading back and still getting one of the other multiple guys makes sense. Not saying we couldn't take both picks...but I think we move back between 37-49 with that 37th pick because someone will want to move up and we will already have our guy and will then be able to fall back on a list of other guys. Splitting the difference between all 3 picks make a lot of sense and could land us say a late 4th rd pick possibly where I think we will be targeting some WR depth. Nobody truly knows but I bet Ballard has been getting lots of calls all morning for 37. 35 with Cleveland and 37 with us I think will be prime targets for other teams to move up. Can't wait. I feel really good that with 36 a starter will be there for us.

i actually hope we keep both back to back picks cause we need all the high talent we can get ASAP:banana:

Agreed...nobody would say we don't need the highest quality talent...but the question becomes with the second pick is will there still be very high quality talent back to the mid 40 range and we get an additional pick tomorrow that we can develop. I think there will be some nice running backs in the 4th round and maybe having an extra 4th would be nice to nab one.

      Do you see any progress with Richardson?

      By Restinpeacesweetchloe · Posted

      I think even though the sample size was small last season it gave people a false sense of where he is. But we also can’t ignore thst maybe the regression is just because of the lack of off season work. If it’s just the lack of offseason work it should correct itself fairly quickly. We should def him settle in by game 6 or 7.

      It just seems like people have sold themselves the idea he was going to come out great this season which I think is and was completely unreasonable.   I hope to see some improvement by the end of the season, but I really don't expect a whole lot until sometime next season. AR has got so much catching up to do.   I mean, there's no doubt AR's struggles are affecting MPJ, but MPJ has never been a great separater and seeing a defender right besides MPJ is probably stopping AR from throwing his way at this point.   Also, to be clear, I'm not saying AR will DEFINITELY be great, but I do think we DEFINITELY don't know yet and people need to be a lot more patient with him.

      They both couldn’t throw or work on footwork. To ignore this could be a possibility with AR is naive. Let’s see where he is by game 7. Especially when it looks like he went backwards  from last season.

      Other than the fact that Luck was a proven NFL QB in his prime and that his shoulder rehab lasted 3x as long.

      His lack of experience was a well-known risk in drafting him and it's a big reason why some were skeptical (including me). On the flip side, it sort of seemed like people disregarded his lack of experience then in favor of things like potential and upside. But now he's struggling and it's showing. If anything, it's validated those initial concerns.   I tend to think WR drops following a QB from college to the NFL says as much about the QB as it does the pass catchers. But they need to do better. I think it will take a combination of improvements from both AR and the pass catchers.   Not sure if something is up with MPJ, but some "regression" this year was very predictable. At one point, I actually thought he might leave in FA when faced with prospect of re-signing with a run-first team and a young QB who is still learning how to throw short and intermediate passes (the area he operates). But he stayed...and I am glad he did. But if it continues, there are going to be a lot of people blaming MPJ, which is pretty ridiculous, when you think about just 6 months ago, people were talking about how great of a contract it was and that MPJ was a legit WR1 with AR.
