3. Indianapolis Colts (No. 13 pick)

Right now, the Colts don’t have a clear plan at quarterback. They signed Jacoby Brissett to a short extension last year, but he regressed as the season went along. Part of that was due to injury, but Brissett still hasn’t proven himself.

Even general manager Chris Ballard acknowledged Brissett’s shortcomings, saying “the jury is still out” on Brissett. But will they add a veteran to replace him? Or target a young quarterback to develop and compete with Brissett?

For my money, the latter option would make more sense. The 2020 draft class has a very strong quarterback group and even with the 13th pick, the Colts may be able to land a strong starting candidate.

But if the Colts want a specific quarterback like Justin Herbert or Tua Tagovailoa, they may have to move up to get him. And that could lead them to at least have discussions with teams picking in the top five if they truly believe that they are a quarterback away from being competitive in the AFC South again.

It’s hard to imagine the Colts jumping all the way from the 13th pick to the second overall selection. It would take a haul of picks to do that. But if they believe in a guy enough, perhaps they’ll consider making an offer.

Still, it’s even harder to imagine that the Redskins would want to move down that far. They are in position to land Chase Young at No. 2 and if they don’t land him, it will take a massive haul of picks and another shot at a blue-chipper to convince them to make a deal. That won’t happen in this Colts trade, so it would seem like an even bigger longshot than the other longshot trade partners on this list.
