Colts Trade Moore, Jones, Richardson for Draft Picks

0:00On April 19th, the Indianapolis Colts are gearing up for next week's NFL draft without a first-round pick in 2026, so they're eyeing, round two, and potential trades to stock up. Top names on the trade block include Veteran Cornerback Kinney Moore II, Young Corner Jalen Jones, and Quarterback Anthony Richardson. Earlier this month, on April 10th, the Colts and Moore mutually agreed to explore a trade, mainly due to scheme mismatches under the new defensive. Moore's been a standout with a team, racking up over 649 tackles, 21 picks, and 11.5 sacks in 132 games. Fans and insiders see this as a smart move, since the cornerback room is stacked with guys like Saw Scardner and Cam Taylor Britt ahead of Jones, who's fallen off after a strong start with 100 tackles and two interceptions in year two. His snaps dropped under the new coordinator, making him expendable for depth trades. Meanwhile, Richardson's situation drags on after getting trade permission back on February 26th.

1:02The fourth overall pick from 2023 has struggled with a 50.6 completion rate, more picks than touchdowns, constant injuries, and no real market buzz yet, especially with the fifth year option deadline hitting May 1st. As draft week heats up, expect the Colts to package these guys for picks, or players to bolster around Daniel Jones and their rebuild keeping indies. Defense and QB room evolving without dead weight.
