Cowherd listener? I listened to a couple of Best of the Herd podcasts today and he said exactly that.

I also noticed in this thread that Indiana V2 has achieved "Post whore" status. Going by the post count, I assume that level is reached by 5000+ posts?

a thought from MMQB:

"And let’s say the Colts, with the sixth overall pick, would be comfortable moving down to Miami’s pick at 11, Indy figuring if it can pick up another second-round pick at least, it would be worth it. (Really, the Colts are not just comfortable doing this. They want to do this.) So let’s slot Rosen to Miami with the sixth pick, and now all the primo quarterbacks are gone. And the Colts have turned the third overall pick at the start of March into the 11th—and added four second-round picks in the process. Five prime prospects instead of one excellent one. GM Chris Ballard would love that trade."

What do you think of trading down to 11 and getting another 2nd (plus whatever makes the points equal)?

It really depends on who isn't available at 6. 11th is a lot farther to drop. I would want more than just another 2nd if a QB is still there.

To be fair, he will absolutely draft for need. Because we need everything. What could he pick other than qb that we couldn’t use?

I absolutely think positional value plays a role. If Chubb and Barkley are there, he isn’t taking the rb

I am still of the "Chubb or trade down" mindset.

At 10, 11 or 12, we have a good shot at getting Tremaine Edwards or Roquan Smith which would fill a HUGE glaring need at LB.

At DE, we have Sheard, Basham and now Autry. Need another body or two but a 2nd round draftee plus an older rotational guy could fit that bill.

If we could get the Bills 12 & 21, then the 21 would have great value to pick up that right OT or other LB or CB that we would need.

Honestly, 5 picks in the top 50 would be pretty brilliant for filling a ton of holes on the roster. OT, LB, LB, CB, DE for instance.

But, I don't like any of the DEs in the draft as much as Chubb. If he is there at #6, you have to take him. If not, then a trade down for another top 50 pick this year makes a ton of sense.

Walk Worthy,

Absolutely this. Need equivalent value to Buffalo’s two 1sts. Maybe 11, 43, and 2019 1st?

I’m not sure CB is a 1st round value in this new defense. Holder and Keefer said that was the big holdup with Melvin—Ballard didn’t want to overpay for a press-man corner when they’re looking for a different skill set.

Just played an online drafting game (top 5 rounds only). Traded the #6 (no Chubb OR Nelson available) to BUF for 12, BUF 3rd round and 2019 1st round draft pick. Ended up with:

1 12 CB Denzel Ward Ohio State
2 36 OG Will Hernandez UTEP
2 37 OT Brian O'Neill Pittsburgh
2 49 DE Sam Hubbard Ohio State
3 67 LB Josey Jewell Iowa
3 96 LB Shaquem Griffin UCF
4 104 DE Kemoko Turay Rutgers
5 140 RB Josh Adams Notre Dame

I love having turned the #3 pick overall into 2 additional 2nd round picks and 1 additional 3rd round pick in 2018 and and additional 1st round pick and 2nd round pick in 2019.

Thoughts?
