Not that I believe any of this, but what is the good value for trading down to 21 (I think)? An extra 3rd rounder or so?
EDIT: Ok, so apparently they make a chart for this sort of stuff. According to the chart it would be a mid 3rd rounder. I wouldn't be upset, but would rather have the better player with the first round pick. Mostly because it feels like the Colts historically have been snake bitten with 3rd round picks, other than the year they got TY and Allen in the 3rd round. That was a home run of a 3rd round. Moncrief and Henry Anderson were good picks too, so I guess recently they were better at it. But looking at a list of 3rd round Colt players from 2000 on...yikes.

I'd rather trade down to where the Chiefs are at #27. At that point, our #15 would be worth both their 1st and 2nd. I wonder if Ballard would be able to hook that up with his old buddies, particularly if the Chiefs want a quarterback, trading up is what you usually have to do in order to get your guy.
