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

Uh, Lawrence has the Jags going to the next round of the playoffs. How did the Jags actually botch the Lawrence pick? Makes absolutely no sense, but I guess keep beating that damn drum for Mac Jones.

I want to go on the record to say I would not trade up to get any of these QBs, Colts at 4 are guaranteed a solid pick and the bust potential of all of these guys is about equal! I do like Levis but no way would I give up our #4 and our #36 pick for him when it is very possible he might be there at #4 anyway!

What Lawrence did the other day, was about as Manning as anything since Manning. He was the only QB who it just did not matter how many INT's he threw, at the end, he was going to have his team right there with a chance to win despite what might have been a miserable game otherwise.

Farvhe was close to it, but no one has been able to do that like Manning did.

The refs had to give Lawrence the Tommy Tutu treatment for him to make that work. Joey Bosa was bear hugged on Lawrence's last TD, which is the only reason that wasn't a sack. Sure would've been nice of the refs to bail Herbert out of 2nd and 19 the way they did for Lawrence as well. I will give Doug Pederson a lot of credit, though, he's really good at designing offensive gameplans that mask the deficiencies of mediocre QBs.

Bust potential of Stroud and Young are minimal. Bust potential of Levis is through the roof.

And here I thought people would compare it to the 2014 Luck game (complete with the Superman dive and everything). Luck, of course, didn't get repeatedly bailed out by the refs, but these are apparently minor details.

That shit happens in every game. Refs suck.

Doesn't diminish what Lawrence accomplished. You just seem to not be able to accept the fact that you were wrong about Lawrence and Jones.

Hell Dam, we're all wrong sometimes. Some more than others though.

Seems like Young's stock is on the rise and if we cant him we would need to trade up to get him. I saw one mock that had us trading up to get him first overall, and earlier mock that had us picking him straight up 4th overall.

Overall I like Young over Stroud and Levis. The colts absolutely need a week 1 starter, and young is the closest to that from the three top candidates. I'm not confident we have the talent on our coaching staff to develop a "project" QB properly.

While I would be surprised if we do it, I would not be opposed to picking up two QBs.

I disagree with minimal, plus I don't see either of them being very durable! We shall see!

We don't have a coaching staff at all.
