Irsay wants the Colts to use high pick on RB (1 Viewer)

Might wanna start building that line first

No offensive lineman are worthy of a top 5 pick this year. Trade down is the best move with so many teams wanting a QB.

Assuming top 2 picks are probably QBs I would think it would be smart to drive up the price for the next biggest chip at 3 (Barkley).

I believe the Colts ran the ball a lot better this season than last season. I believe you are remembering 2016.

Andrew Luck missed the season because he took too many hits. Jacob Brissett was sacked more times this year than any other QB.
The first, second, and third priority for the Colts should be to keep their starting quarterback off the turf. Having a game-changing running back could go a long way, but without major improvements along the offensive line none of that will matter.

Not sure if a G is worth being a top 5 pick but Quenton Nelson will grade out as one of the 5 highest players in the draft.

True but you don't take OL at #3 this year and if you can't trade down you take either Bradley Chubb or Saquan Barkley.

I wouldn't look into that too much. McGlinchy, Brown, or Williams could go in the top 10. Luck needs someone to protect him. Not a lot of talent going into free agency at OT this year. It would be crazy not to consider one because of an arbitrary "grade."
He’s about as close as you can get to a lock. Probably the best G prospect to come out in 10+ years. Teams would be stupid to pass on him just because he is a G.

The left side of their line isn't bad and center Kelly got hurt. Perhaps they can draft an OL in the 2nd round for the right side and get help through free agency.

Agree - if old man river Gore can run well behind that line I’m sure Barkley would manage just fine.
Having Luck back will probably help a lot too.
I could see that as a great fit with Gore likely to hang it up, and Mack underwhelming.

He wasn't an idiot at one time when he had Dungy, Polian, and Manning. Irsay isn't the reason not to go to Indy. If he can make the right choice for a HC, that's what matters. The jury is still out on Ballard.

....and you don't draft out of need with the #3 overall pick, you draft BPA (not counting QBs of course).

Barkley to Browns at #1 to be their version of L. Bell
#4 Browns take one of Rosen, Mayfield, Darnold, L Jackson

It's quite possible that Irsay wants aliens to run in the next election for Pope of the Sun.

As stated that would be the shark move, but it's the Browns we're talking about here.

That wouldn't be the shark move unless they somehow had four quarterbacks ranked identically, which isn't going to be the case.
Disregarding the Brown's past failures to land a franchise QB, when you're sitting at #1 and you desperately need a franchise signal caller you take the one that you want, that you've vetted, and you move forward with that guy. You don't defer to whichever is leftover at #4. This isn't fantasy football here. Of course, because they're the Browns they likely won't peg the right guy at #1 so in hindsight it'll look like they should've taken Barkley (or someone else at #1) and whichever QB ends up turning into an All-Pro that goes at pick #4 or later.

But wouldn't a team in desperate need of a franchise QB be best served deciding on which one they think is the best and choose that one?
It would seem pretty dumb to let 2-3 other teams get first crack and then settle for which ever one is left over.
