The Indianapolis Colts would be the topic of potential trades for the subsequent two months till the 2023 NFL draft rolls round on the finish of April.
Whereas it stays to be seen if the Colts really will transfer as much as the No. 1 total choose in a commerce with the Chicago Bears, it’s simple to recommend Indy would possibly make a deal to get the highest choose.
In an article by Bleacher Report itemizing the “dream offseason commerce situation for each group,” Kristopher Knox instructed a transfer to No. 1 total would suffice.
“Indianapolis holds the No. 4 choose within the draft, two spots behind the division-rival Houston Texans, who additionally want a quarterback. If the Colts are in love with a prospect, be it Alabama’s Bryce Younger or Ohio State’s C.J. Stroud, they may have to leap Houston to get him.
The excellent news is that Chicago might have the No. 1 choose up for bid, and it may not value Indy a number of first-round picks to acquire it.
“The overwhelming suggestions was that the Bears received’t get a king’s ransom for the No. 1 choose however that Indianapolis had the perfect scenario when it comes to draft capital and buying and selling the pick of the NFC,” ESPN’s Matt Miller.
It will be preferrred if the Colts can transfer up for the quarterback it covets at a comparatively low value. There’s an actual likelihood that Indy might miss out its prime goal by staying put, both as a result of Houston snags him or as a result of the Arizona Cardinals flip the No. 3 choice to a different quarterback-needy group.”
It’s troublesome to know what a good provide could be for either side. The Colts would most likely wish to hold their 2024 first-round choose, which suggests they’d seemingly have so as to add a participant to a proposal that already consists of the Nos. 4 and 35 picks.
The Bears seemingly would entertain a proposal that features cornerback Kenny Moore II, contemplating his match inside Matt Eberflus’ protection. However would that be sufficient of an addition to maintain the 2024 first off the board? It’s arduous to inform.
If a commerce goes down, we could find out about it earlier than the draft will get right here. The 2018 commerce Indy made with the New York Jets occurred in March. As did the deal between the San Francisco 49ers and Miami Dolphins to maneuver up for Trey Lance in 2021.
The Colts could not know in the event that they wish to transfer up for a quarterback simply but. They only employed their head coach and nonetheless should undergo the interview course of with the prospects, which largely will occur on the NFL mix subsequent week.
Till then, all of us simply have to attend and see whether or not the Colts make a transfer for his or her potential franchise quarterback.
