That is not worth giving away for any of these guys

So stay at 4 take Richardson or wait till 35 and take Hooker. Still on the Hooker bandwagon. Start Sam until Hooker is completely ready then throw him in there

I've never been big on trading up, and that would include this year. Just talking about what the situation may dictate. It's not Ballard's style, but just like free agency, you have to deal with other teams' disagreeable moves if you want a guy.

If the Colts and/or other teams see a significant drop off in quality or too big a risk after their first choice (or even second choice), then they're forced into the bidding game. CHI is definitely in the enviable position for this year's draft.

I like Stroud out of this group enough that I don't consider it a toss-up and we should just take whoever is left. That said... I don't have the conviction Dam has. I hope he's right and we land him, but I've never been real big on this class. Just seems like we'll have to pay to get him.

Imagine needing a QB in 2005 when you could've had Aaron Rodgers and instead saying, "Wait for Matt Leinart to come out next year."

I'd really rather the Colts not make a similar mistake.

Imagine needing a QB in the 2017 draft and trading up for Mitch Trubisky

Ah this is fun. Keep them coming

Badly outnumbered but still want to stay put at 4 and draft Levis....or Richardson if he is still there?

Well we're fucked now. Draft Jalen Carter and hope Caleb Williams really is Mahomes 2.0.

I don't understand how anyone can just say Caleb Williams. A shitload of things have to go just right for the Colts to get Williams. There are a truckload of other teams that will be out to get him to. Love to get him, but it's just not going to be that damn easy.

He will want to trade the next 3 drafts for him, and another reason I am thankful he is not our GM. I wouldn't be opposed to Dam getting a GM job with another AFC south team though.
