Trade targets

 If they get routed by the Chiefs, which is more likely than not, I could see the Colts trying to trade their own players for picks, not the other way around.

No way.  Not this early in our division.  Even with a loss to the Chiefs there is no way they are going down that road.  It’s only two games into a 17 game season.

If they get routed there are two fundamental problems, one coaching and two lack of motivation, both are not going to change, unless change happens.  I also did not say trade immeadiately, you have several weeks until the deadline and want to sell high.

Well maybe we can swap our 20 million  guard straight for Metcalf? U know our transcdent guard who makes this Oline an elite line just by his mere presence.

 

 Thanks for another jibberish premise.

 

  Accumulate draft picks. Moore to some needy team.

Harrison Butker for a 5th round draft pick. Why not try? If Ammendola kicks 100% again this week, I bet they would consider it

I'd call both the Chiefs and Rams and try to shake a receiver loose from one of them.  Both those teams have guys who should be available.

 

Chiefs have Smith-Schuster who came in as a vet and missed time in camp with injury and is now behind the eight ball.  The other two depth types have looked good so maybe they're willing to talk moving him.

 

Rams have a UDFA who caught everything in preseason in McCutcheon who has yet to play.  Also they have a round 2 flyweight/speed type in Atwell who hasn't been able to crack the starting lineup.  Neither of them are going to play much so they'd take a pick just gotta haggle.

 

Goal would be a player who can insulate us from injury and give Ryan another option to help him get that ball out quick.

I could see this a possibility. OBJ probably going back to the Rams next month.

 

That might shake someone loose.

Corey Davis should only cost a late round pick if we take on his contract. He would immediately be our #2 WR by a mile. Maybe include Campbell in the trade to "sweeten" the pot and rid us of the wasted reps he takes (addition by subtraction).

I get your points and I totally agree that we should target our thin WR group/depth if CB is making a trade. 

But how different would be unproven rookies and UDFA's to the ones we have? 

If a trade is made, it should be a proven vet that gives us not only smthn on the field but a leadership present, too, I think. 

In my opinion it ain't helpin Matty to get another WR with a 6th or 7th round pick trade. Have enough of those on our roster.

I think the importance is finding a third wideout.  That doesn't need to be some pricey vet.  In fact you can limit yourself to possession type options who can function as a third wheel out there for the QB to dump the ball and stay ahead of the chains.  If you do go with a vet then it will probably be someone with questions, or a guy whose best days are behind him and that's fine for what we need.  It won't be an ideal piece because those are too pricey for this late, i.e. in the season.

 

Our guys are not getting it done.  So basically it would be taking a mid to late round pick and rolling the dice that you can give your QB a little help.  There is still a season to win here.  It's not over yet.  The Colts are still thinking playoffs even if it sounds unlikely given the first two games.  Whether they choose a good option comes down to how well the GM sees the talent.  There's plenty of those types of options out there, and if you really wanted to be frugal you could raid a PS squad option.

 

You gotta remember all GMs have memories on guys as they ranked them out during their draft years.  Plus all manner of scouting files with their reports and whatnot.  So these guys who are on PS around the league or bottom of different team rosters will include some that Ballard liked when they were coming out.  Difficulty is in trying to get someone you like for cheap in the season.

No trades involving high draft picks.  The Colts could end up with their best pick since Nelson and I don’t want that given away.  I also don’t think this is 2006 where you go the Colts are a player away from a Super Bowl win so am in-season trade maybe worth it.

Is Payton still under contract with the Saints? If if not let’s go get him.

If we lay an egg the rest of the year Payton would be an excellent next HC
