Indianapolis Colts
The Trade: ) In a 2018 draft-day trade with the Jets, the Colts moved back from No. 3 to No. 6 to select Notre Dame guard Quenton Nelson.
With Andrew Luck still taking the snaps under center, the Colts weren't in the market for a quarterback and took advantage by swapping picks with the Jets. That allowed New York to move up for QB Sam Darnold, who infamously struggled during his 3-year tenure with the team. Meanwhile, with the No. 6 pick, the Colts grabbed Nelson, who is already on a Hall-of-Fame trajectory. The Colts also drafted tackle Braden Smith with one of the three 2nd-round draft choices that they netted, and he went on to become an 8-year starter. l (Stephen Holder)
