A Quincy Wilson trade
It is well-known that Wilson hasn’t lived up to the hype of being a second-round pick in 2017. It was one of Ballard’s biggest and earliest misses. Now in a contract year and with no role in sight, Wilson is most certainly on the trading block. Ballard has been known to make a few player-for-pick trades during a draft.
Wilson would need to be traded to a team that needs young, projectable cornerbacks working mostly in a press-man and Cover 3 scheme. There are a few teams that come to mind, but compensation would be everything here. Realistically, the Colts aren’t getting more than fourth-round pick for Wilson.
Among cornerback-needy teams with fourth-round picks include:
- New York Giants (No. 112)
- Denver Broncos (No. 118)
- Atlanta Falcons (No. 119)
- Dallas Cowboys (No. 123)
- Kansas City Chiefs (No. 138)
Wilson is still young at 23 years old. He has projectable traits and has even flashed some during the season. He simply hasn’t been able to put it together and a change of scenery is in order for the Florida product. If the Colts can net a fourth-round pick for Wilson, that’s a solid deal.
