The Colts don't have to give up much to move into the 1st for a player they want and embrace that 5th year option...still holding onto their #34 pick it makes a lot of sense.The Miami trade is assuming MIA stays put and at this point is sitting on three first round picks...they have the flexibility to listen to offers and GB seeing Aiyuk in trouble of not making it to #44 with WR needy teams ahead of them snatch him by trading up (giving up a solid amount...I could see a 6th or 7th also thrown in).The Las Vegas Raiders picking at the 12th and 19th spot have had to SIT....and SIT...and SIT... they pounce at our #75 pick (paired with a 6th also) for one of their THREE 3rd rounders and a top end 4th rounder in order to get into the 2nd round. Already having a top flight WR, a future OT stud and only sliding 6 spots Gute takes the call and works it out. I could see us having to do a 5th instead of a 6th...but still tremendous value and fair both ways I believe. I just don't see LV staying put and WAITING from 19th all the way to #80 with their loaded 3rd round equity of picks.</blockquote>
