Jim Irsay: #Colts considered trading up for Bradley Chubb, but couldn't pass on Quenton Nelson.

"He just doesn’t have any weaknesses. It’s almost like you’re seeing a guy who was a computer simulation of what an offensive lineman should be."

Irsay says they had internal discussions about trading up (I assume to No. 4 or 5) to take Chubb, but "Nelson was too good to pass up."

“Indianapolis with the No. 6 pick called the Broncos about moving up one spot to take Chubb.”

When we traded out of three we changed the projection of the draft. It forced Cleveland to go with a QB. If we had stayed Cleveland had a chance at the best or second best QB on their board at 4.
