6. INDIANAPOLIS COLTS (4-12)

LAST SEASON: Andrew Luck missed entire season after having surgery for partially torn labrum. Without Luck Cheap Customized Baltimore Ravens Jerseys , Colts struggled. Jacoby Brissett showed promise after being acquired in cutdown weekend trade. Pro Bowl receiver T.Y. Hilton struggled, at times, usually because of no viable supportive deep threat. TE Jack Doyle had breakout season and made first Pro Bowl. Defense improved throughout season but Indy couldn't hold leads, couldn't close out games, couldn't generate consistent pass rush. Missed postseason for third straight year, finished with first losing record since 2011 and coach Chuck Pagano was fired hours after season finale. Eventually, Frank Reich took over for Pagano after winning Super Bowl ring with Philadelphia.

THEY NEED: DE, OL, LB, CB, WR, RB.

THEY DON'T NEED: QB, TE Ha Ha Clinton-Dix Jersey , K.

POSSIBLE FIRST PICK: DE Bradley Chubb, North Carolina State; RB Saquon Barkley, Penn State; G Quenton Nelson, Notre Dame; CB/S Minkah Fitzpatrick, Alabama; LB Roquan Smith, Georgia; LB Tremaine Edmunds, Virginia Tech.

OUTLOOK: GM Chris Ballard wants to build through draft and has been looking to acquire extra picks to speed up process. Already pulled off deal with Jets, picking up two seconds this year and another next year. And he may not be done. If one of top QBs is still available at No. 6 and QB-needy team is willing to pay right price, Ballard says he could trade down again. If not, Colts are content staying at No. 6 and filling any number of needs. Chubb is considered best pass rusher in class and could help Colts move up from No. 31 ranking in sacks. Barkley is special and would replace recently departed Frank Gore. Nelson would help solidify interior offensive line and should help keep healthy Luck upright, if QB plays. Fitzpatrick could play anywhere in secondary that has lost both opening-day starters from 2017. Smith and Edmunds have made visits to team headquarters and would provide help in young, thin linebacking corps.

The NHL is such a great league because of its unmatched parity. While leagues such as the NBA, NFL Kemoko Turay Jersey , and La Liga generally see the same teams having success year in and year out lately, the NHL has seen a different Stanley Cup Champion in four of the last six seasons. The main reason for this parity is the fact that the league has a hard salary cap, but there are also so many ways for bad team to get better. Free agency and draft picks are great ways to improve, but the real mastery of a GM's job comes in the form of making trades. Whether a deal involves players, draft picks, or both, there is usually an intent for one team to be a "buyer" who is building up for a playoff run and the other to be a "seller" who is trying to build up young talent and draft picks to improve for the future.

Trades are also fun from a fan's perspective, as it is always entertaining to analyze the deal to determine who came out as the winner and who came out as the loser. While some trades actually end up working out well for both teams involved, there has been a great number of lopsided deals over the years. Whether it's evident immediately or could be considered "regretful" after ten years of hindsight, each franchise has its fair share of bad deals. The worst trade in all 31 NHL franchises' history can be found below, with a description of why they are so regretful. Enjoy!
