If the Colts trade a 1st round pick for Stafford then how do they find a left tackle?

[jasperhobbs]

Hard to get a decent left tackle after the first round and usually none are available via free agency.

Nelson, I guess.

How?

You worry about tackle later. Grab the quarterback now.

If nothing else, put Smith at left tackle and stick Green/Clark/draft pick/free agent at right tackle.

In fact, I’d rather they put Smith over there than Nelson.

Polian ALWAYS found his Online in the latter rounds .....not that it always worked out but that was his philosophy.

FA tackle Trent Williams is possibly going to be available. When San Fran acquired him from Washington, they agreed to not us the tag.

He'll be pricey though.

The QB is the most valuable position. Without a good one, you're screwed. You do whatever you can to fix that position no matter what, then you worry about filling the other needs. Ballard will address it either in another round of the draft or free agency. Worry about the QB first.

If Williams can still play, and we can afford him, I would be okay with trading more than just one first.

Williams and Nelson together would be fucking scary. Put Doyle on the end and I’d hate to have to be the guy responsible for filling those gaps.

If they sign Williams, then play Eason and see if Brissett wants to stay.

That line, with the RB they have, you can let a young Qb learn on the job

Tarik Glenn who protected Manning's blindside was a 1st round pick, drafted the year before Polian, but he had the LT well covered most of his tenure with the Colts.
