Heres why Colts might not be done tradin
The got out ahead of the eight ball on Saturday, with the that gives New York the third overall pick and an opportunity to land a franchise quarterback. The Colts got a haul in the proce s, but they might not be done trading just yet.As , the big move up by the Jets is great news for the and , Archie Bradley Jersey but it also gives the Colts an increased amount of flexibility with their position at No. 6.Chris Ballard's move out of No. 3 was interesting, because the Colts could have conceivably waited until the draft got closer and attempted to secure a future first-round pick. But by trading with the Jets, they almost ensure their ability to move down and still secure a blue-chip player. A suming the Browns, Jets and each take a quarterback, one of , and will be available at No. 6.The Broncos taking a QB feels like slightly le s of a guarantee, but they are certainly in need of a quarterback despite signing . The Browns' pick at No. 4 could also become Madison Bumgarner Jersey a quarterback . If that happens, it could mean four quarterbacks going in the top five. But if it doesn't, and the Colts lose out on a blue-chip non-QB at No. 6, it might be even better for Ballard and Indy, because it means the Colts could be sitting there with quarterbacks on the board and a number of eager suitors inquiring about their sixth-overall pick.Two who stand out? The and , .Buffalo's been widely rumored as a team obviously interested in moving up the draft board, particularly after it traded away and , which moved it from No. 21 to No. 12 in Shelby Miller Jersey the first round and added the No. 65 pick to its arsenal. The trade-value chart pegs the No. 6 pick as worth 1,600 points. The Bills could theoretically send No. 12 and a second-round pick to the Colts in exchange for No. 6, although if the initial trade by Ballard is any indication, he's going to want more than market value for a team coming up for a quarterback. It wouldn't be prohibitive at all, though, for the Bills to utilize two first-round picks or a first-round pick and their two second-round picks (No. 53, No. 56, the latter from the ) in order to slide up six spots and grab a quarterback who falls.Likewise, Arizona at No. 15 probably recognizes the Jets deal leaves them out in the cold when Paul Goldschmidt Jersey it comes to the quarterback cla s, with three likely going in the top five. Arizona, like Buffalo, could spring for the pricey option of trading up to No. 4, leapfrogging the Broncos and getting the third choice of quarterbacks on the draft board. Or the Cardinals could wait and see how the first five picks shake out and try to make a move up to No. 6. The price would be substantially lower -- on the trade chart the difference between No. 4 and No. 6 is 200 points, roughly the equivalent of a mid-third-round pick. But given the leverage Dorsey has thanks to the presence of the Broncos at No. 5, it's highly unlikely he's going to offer a discounted rate to acquire the fourth-overall pick. , the are another team interested in acquiring a young quarterback who could make sense in terms of a trade up. Don't be surprised when the number of quarterbacks going early ends up Deven Marrero Jersey being higher than expected. Quarterback economics are real: when the supply shrinks up, demand grows and the cost of acquisition goes through the roof.It's precisely why the Colts, even after acquiring a pile of draft picks and moving a few slots down the board, are well positioned to potentially land another haul if one of the top-tier quarterbacks slips past No. 5.
