If the Colts trade a 1st round pick for Stafford then how do they find a left tackle?

That and if we added both Stafford and Williams people may say we won the off season. I hate that.

No one would say that if the Colts traded their 1 for Stafford. Getting Stafford and Williams would certainly be win now moves, though, and Ballard especially started trending that direction last offseason with the additions of Buckner and Rivers. Stafford would give the Colts another 5 years to figure out the position, and I think we'd be pleasantly surprised by what we get from him, because he's never been surrounded by a supporting cast like that of the Colts, especially on the OL.
