One such team could be the Raiders. They currently have first round picks 4, 24, and 27. They could even trade down a few spots from 27 and pick up more draft capital. It looks like they may be playing next year in Oakland again....and they have shown that they don't care what type of product they put on the field for the near term - although they will want to field a talented team for their debut in Vegas.

I personally wouldn't use Pick 34. The Colts window is now and they need lots of help on defense right now. He probably won't play his rookie season. He will probably play his second season - but maybe not at 100%. FatDT's write-up indicated that he relies mostly on an explosive first step - that may be gone after the injury. It is worth monitoring to see how far down he slides and may be worth it later on, but hope the Colts look elsewhere at Pick 34.

Simmons could be the Colts Jaylon Smith or Myles Jack (talented defender with top 15 projection who suffers knee injury late in draft year and essentially needs a redshirt year). Those two were LBs, but both worked out pretty well for the team that drafted them. Still think Ballard will stay away because character concerns.

Stopgap signing. Get some mid round picks in to compete with Cain and Fountain and keep the best 5-6.

You misspelled Inman. Not sure how autocorrect would make it into Fountain.

WR2: Tate
WR3: Inman
WR4: Cain
WR5: Fountain/mid round pick/late round pick
WR6: Fountain/mid round pick/late round pick
WR7: Fountain/mid round pick/late round pick

WR6 may or may not be on the practice squad. Why is that difficult to understand?

They're not going to give up on Rosen that quickly. I definitely approve of the idea, though, he's Aaron Donald but bigger and longer. I'd give up 26, 34, 58, and next year's 1 to get him, but I doubt they'd do even that deal.
