I'm thrilled they made this trade. I thought the Colts were going to do something foolish and make that trade myself, so this was great news for me. Trading 2 first round picks, 2 second round picks and a WR like Pittman to move up three spots for a QB like Stroud or Young is the height of insanity.

At this point I'm fine with the Colts moving something small like a future 2nd round pick to move up to 3, or them just sticking at four and taking whoever is leftover (if there's somehow more than one of the 4 guys left, my preference is Young/Stroud/Richardson/Levis in that order), or trading back for more picks and getting a guy like Hooker, or even saying fuck it and taking an Anderson or Carter and then taking a guy like Hooker in the 2nd round.

Any of those scenarios are better to me than what Carolina just did. And I'm not even getting the massive Levis criticism. Like I see the potential flaws, and I would prefer the potential of Richardson over him myself, but my god it seems like the narrative that he's going to be a bust has just been carved in stone without much to base it on.
