So I heard on the radio. I guess some of the reasoning behind trading the pick for a veteran is corona virus. The Colts think group events will be canceled for awhile and that this will put rookies at a disadvantage. They will be behind on most things all year. So going with a young vet will help mitigate that. Can't say I can argue with that thinking.

Dumbest thing. Its football, not brain surgery

It’s definitely going to have an impact. Probably no OTAs and possibly a shorter training camp. It’s not enough of a reason to make a trade, but it’s a reason to list with all the other reasons to possibly make a trade.

I can understand it being an added benefit, but to factor it into the actual decision would be stupid. I certainly hope that wasn’t an actual part of their reasoning.

These guys have been playing football since they were in middle school. And thinking that college kids are amateurs doesn’t make them less football players. Everybody has the same disadvantage a short in season. It’s a crapshoot but these guys except for rivers I’m going to have a long contract

They said it was. The Colts believe they are close to winning a SB. They thought a vet could hit the ground running better than a rookie.
