It will be interesting to see where Watson ends up before the draft which could have a big impact on this.
The Jets traded up to the Colts 3rd spot to draft Sam Darnold. They gave up the 6th pick, two 2nd round picks that year, and another 2nd round the following year. So by moving down just three spots the Colts got a total of three 2nd round picks.
This is why I'm all for trading back, especially if we still stay in the top 10. We have so many holes and that's just too much compensation to pass up.
The only problem is, going off a lot of the current mocks, Zach Wilson and Justin Fields are projected to go in front of us. But if one of them is still there, and we can find the right trade partner? Why the hell not?
Could you imagine if we, hypothetically, moved from 5 to 8 and still managed to get Kyle Pitts and picked up 3 extra 2nd round picks?
After Fields latest performance and assuming he is still there I see some QB starved teams coughing up more than they should at #5.
