Draft Trades
 

Thought it might be worth a separate thread to track reports on draft trades.

1.05 - Elway says he is open to moving down
1.20 - Lions say they are willing to move down

Denver potentially moving out of 5 obviously impacts the Colts at 6. Does that take potential trades for the Colts off the table? Does someone jump them to get Chubb if he falls past NYG and CLE?

I also think 1.20 is an interesting consideration. It would take something like 37+67+104 per the value chart, but it could be worth it if you're really high on a specific player (e.g. LVE, McG). I don't think Ballard would do it, but it's something to keep an eye on.

Ballard says he's interested in moving back under the right conditions:

Makes me believe he knows Chubb won't be there and that his QB choice wont be either and he doesnt need one after he signed Keenum... and that Nelson is not worth a #5 pick on.

FWIIW The Colts have not visited with Chubb. Rumor is Ballard knows he wont be there at 6.

That's because they already met with him at the combine.

In what world would Signing Keenum make a GM not want to draft a QB?

Well he’s willing to trade so he must. It be too concerned

If Elway thinks his roster (carried by the D) can make a Super Bowl run it’s not crazy. Several teams have proven you don’t need an elite QB if your roster is strong enough. Gamble that Keenum is solid and beef up the rest of the roster with a number #5 pick. Certainly a short term plan, but it’s not crazy to think it’s better than settling for whoever is left over out of the big 4 QBs.

If C&O were a GM...

No one is jumping for anything but a QB.
