Other than the additional player pushed down a few spots I don’t see it making a difference at all after the top ten since it’s assumed the top QBs will be off the board by then anyway. Certainly no later than 11 or 12 to Miami or Buffalo.
I guess if done pre draft it could make Buffalo desperate and drive up the price the Giants can ask from them for #2. But again, after the top 10 it’s not going to matter I don’t think.

What are the grounds to believe, as several have mentioned on this board, that Irsay will be urging that the Colts draft Barkley? I know he's made a comment or two about drafting a franchise running back, but why do you believe that Irsay will try to force that pick?
