And that is a good thing. Whatever part of the CBA that caused this needs to be retained. The practice rules have got to go.

So does not seem Cleveland will be drafting a QB #1 now.

How does this affect the Colts?

Is it more likely Barkley and Chubb go #1/2 now?

And does the #3 pick become more valuable in trade due to more chances for the top QB available at that pick? Or less valuable since now you may be able to pick up a top QB lower down without Cleveland taking one?

to hard to tell. if CLE takes barkley 1 and chubb goes 2, then there are a lot of QBs for the next couple slots. we are not taking a QB so jets and donkos could sit tight and see who is left after CLE goes at 4. depends on how in love with a particular guy they are that might make then want to leap frog one of the others.

Why does trading for Tyrod Taylor mean that Cleveland won't draft a QB?

He may not be anywhere near 80% after the injuries he had and the position he plays.

They’ll definitely draft a QB. It just may make them more likely to target a QB at 4 rather than 1. Reports are that they are infatuated by Barkley. If they think the Giants want him, then they have to take him at 1.

Them drafting Barkley at 1 is perfect to me. It removes any temptation the Colts might have to draft Barkley at 3, and gives the Colts a 3 team derby in the "trade down and still get Chubb" sweepstakes, adding the Browns to the Broncos and Jets as potential suitors for the 3rd pick, and Cleveland has more draft firepower than either of the other two. I don't see how the Giants don't take their QB of choice in that scenario (Eli is 37 and on the decline, any feigned interest in another player/position is a smokescreen to not be blatantly obvious), so that would leave the Colts at 3 with Chubb and the top 3 QBs on the board, which means you call each of the Browns, Broncos, and Jets and inform them that now is their chance to get their choice QB of the ones left. I think one of them bites and the Colts still get Chubb.
