Who Can we Use As Trade Capital In the Draft?

[Boss7894]

I know draft picks but who is eligible to trade with other teams?

[csmopar]

As in a player swap for picks? No one that wouldn’t put us further behind. We have far too many holes. And we’re rather young in most areas. No value there

Everybody would love to have Mo-Cox in their lives.

If you cant get a 1st for Buckner then no one is worth a trade.

[compuls1v3]

I'd reaaaaally hate to see Buckner go, but I think he's the only one worth trading.  I repeat, I want to keep Buckner.

[atapcl]

What about Granson?  Mallory looks like Granson’s replacement.

[colts89]

I think the only real asset we have to trade up in the first would be Buckner. I hope we don't do that. I'd rather trade future picks then him.

[Defjamz26]

Said it in another topic: Pittman. You could do a tag and trade and either get a 2nd-3rd from him or use him and a pick to move up in the draft.

[chad72]

JT for a 2nd, if someone bites. He is not CMC and we can definitely do well with an RBC by drafting one more to go with Zach Moss.

 

Pittman would have to fetch a 1st for me to part with him, and I'd rather keep Pittman over JT if that was the choice.

Ask yourself if you were another teams GM would you give up something of value for Granson?  Remember Gilmore brought a fifth round pick before you answer.

You think we just gave a new three year deal to JT which includes I think a $10 mill signing bonus to turn around and TRADE HIM?!?! 

This makes zero sense. 

[Goatface Killah]

What about just packaging future picks for a blue chip guy at a position of need?

 

I would personally draft another QB. They MUST get that position figured out and I personally feel like this current team, as is with all its flaws, with a premier QB, is a bonafide contender with some internal development and a few other tweaks. 

 

Sure they need some improvement on defense and at skill positions on offense, but the biggest upgrade they could make is still at the QB position. And there are some good prospects this year. I like Daniels a lot. 

 

I love Ant but his health is a concern and until we know what we have we should be on the search. 

 

If we wind up with 2 competent QBs, then we have a huge trade chip to further develop the roster down the road and recoup the picks qe give up for the QB.

No one is untouchable though I do agree it wouldn’t be received well in the locker room. Let’s say by some weird reason, MHJ is available at 7 and the asking price is our No.15, JT and a 2nd, would you do it if they’re willing to take the contract?

If someone was going to trade for Taylor and make an offer the Colts would accept it would have happened when they let him try to find a trade and before they gave him a new contract and would take a significant cap hit to trade him.  Taylor isn’t getting traded.  For better or worse the Colts made their decision on Taylor and he’s here for the foreseeable future.

Chad….   You have to know I like you.   We’ve been friends for a long time.   I don’t enjoy giving you a hard time.  
 

But I think you’ve “what if” this to death.  I think it’s hard to create a world where MHJ falls to 7 on draft day.   But I gave it some thought and here’s what it could take.   
 

Harrison shows up at the combine looking lean and mean, ready to go….   And then he runs 4.58.   His other tests look good to very good,  but MHJ doesn’t seem explosive.   He says he’ll do better at his Pro Day.   And he does, but not by much, runs 4.54.   Looks a little better but not much.   
 

Now there’s growing concern….   he announces he’ll do a special workout just before the draft for scouts.  This happens for special cases most every year.  And he runs 4.52. 
 

So is Harrison really not that special?   Or is he Jerry Rice who didn’t test well but turned out to be the GOAT at WR? 
 

I think THATS what it would take for MHJ to fall to 7, and even then, I think some team takes him before 7.   
 

Oh, and including JT will likely depend if the Colts have re-signed Moss.  Because if Moss leaves, then Taylor stays — period.   Full stop.  
 

There are so many what ifs, that you can tie yourself in knots.   This would be the longest of long shots.

Honestly, no one that is expendable.  Everyone who’d be worth something is someone we need to keep.

To to 1 to get Harrison 

[indyagent17]

I was thinking how about draft picks for Minshew or a bag of used athletic supporters 

[richard pallo]

I would like a trade of Pierce and our 2nd to the Cardinals for Budda Baker.

i'm guessing we would have a big dead money hit if we traded him this soon after his contract...but I could be wrong

If I were the other team I wouldnt do that trade at any draft slot.  If I were the colts i would for sure

 

Getting him at 7 would feel like a steal if I had that pick already

[throwing BBZ]

It's a deep draft. And Chicago will get Harrison plus picks for trading down to 3.

 Buckner would be very valuable to Eberflus so an early second for a 30+ in the final year of his contract makes since. We will not be a contender next season so there you go.

 Someone can have Zaire also. His numbers lie a little bit.
