The Indianapolis Colts already traded down once as they gave the No. 3 pick to the New York Jets for No. 6 and three additional picks. However, the Colts may not be done dealing just yet.
According to Daniel Jeremiah of NFL.com, the Colts are still looking for another trade from No. 6 that can land them even more picks in the draft.
The Colts' roster is in bad shape and many around the league expect them to trade down from the No. 6 spot to gain more draft picks. As you'll recall, Indianapolis traded down from the No. 3 spot in a deal with the Jets last month. I would keep an eye on teams like the Bills and Cardinals as potential trade partners should their quarterback of choice make it to Indy's pick at No. 6.
It certainly makes a lot of sense for the Colts to continue looking for more picks. While they can get a potentially very good player at No. 6, they still have a ton of holes to fill on both sides of the ball and must prioritize addressing those needs first. The draft is a lottery anyway, so they need as many tickets as possible in order to acquire productive players.
After seeing the impressive haul they got from the Jets, they could potentially pick up a similar package from a team like the Bills, who have two picks in each of the first two rounds and may just get desperate to land that quarterback of the future.
If they can somehow turn the No. 3 pick into a mid-first rounder and 5-6 additional second-round picks, their chances of fortifying their decrepit roster should increase significantly.
