Default So....thoughts of trading up for the #1 pick?

Chicago has their "franchise" QB in Justin Fields. 2 more years on the rookie contract plus the possibility of the 5th year option as a former 1st round pick.

Colts will have anywhere from the 3rd (if both DEN and ARI lose) to the 5th pick of the 2023 NFL draft.

How much would it take to trade up to #1 overall in order to take the QB of their choice?

Or, really, what would you be willing to trade for the chance to pick #1 overall?

Is there much of a difference between the top 3 to trade up for, or if you're the Colts do you just pick the best remaining out of Young/Stroud/Levis.

I haven't gotten the values memorized, but I would trade our first and the second from Washington to move up.

We don't have a second rounder from Washington, it's a third round pick, Wentz didn't fulfil his end of the playing deal!

Unfortunately we're only going to get a 3rd from Wash b/c of Wentz both sucking and getting hurt.

I have no idea what's going on in the Colts organization anymore. There's zero identity and zero leadership. They're just adrift.

I think we're in a worse spot than most people think. I hope not though.

About what the Giants traded for Rivers. That should get it done. Obviously less would be better. But now that the Texans aren't the #1 pick, getting the #1 pick should be the only priority of the offseason.

Huge difference. Stroud has all the tools of a franchise QB with the size to make it work in the NFL. Young has all the tools of a franchise QB but may be too short. Levis has huge bust potential with limited upside.

Stroud>Young>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Lev is

I would not add any additional picks to move up in this draft for any of the 3 potential top QB's. They all have a higher risk of bust than franchise QB. Trading future stock is stupid for any of those three.
