So....thoughts of trading up for the #1 pick?

I'd probably ultimately go with Stroud because he's the better talent of the two. He will cost more but in the long run it won't be noticeable.

Thanks and nice response. I'm on the fence on Stroud, but FWIW I think we'd be in a hell of a lot better shape if we had traded up for Jones instead of traded for Wentz.

I still think Levis is the best pro prospect!

A little more Levis.

I think you meant better instead of later, and I would agree with that assessment. I also think Jones's best abilities align well with the skillsets of the Colts receiving corps. Pittman and Pierce are both really good at catching a well thrown fade

I did lol, and I was on my laptop so I can't even blame it on auto-correct

I think this is a fair assessment, the turnovers worry me a little, but he has the tools, I would be willing to bet he can overcome it! I disagree he will be a #10 pick, in fact if the Colts don't trade up I think Houston will take him!

Of the top 4 QB's in this draft he is my pick. His mechanics can be fixed faster than a small fragile QB who will get broken, or one who has issues in the 8" between the ears. Don't need a 2-3 year project. I still think Richardson is the most gifted athlete of any of them, but man he just screams bust. If we draft him of course I hope I am wrong, if someone else does, well, you know. lol

Increasing noise, including Lamar's tweet this morning, that he is out of Baltimore.

Worth the trade?

Lamar is a great player, but I can't see him as a Colt, not sure how successful he would be here. I wonder if Brady will go to Vegas to play for McDumbass? Maybe that is why they are wanting to move Derek Carr?

We can only hope to be so lucky that the ghost of Jack Easterby will rise up and make them do something so colossally stupid as to draft Will Levis when one of CJ Stroud and Bryce Young is on the board available to them. That would almost be as good as the Jaguars botching the Lawrence pick.

As long as there's a franchise tag, he doesn't exactly get to make that decision.

I think the Colts are probably the best equipped team outside of Baltimore in the NFL to implement the style of offense that he's been successful in.
