Because they have their eye on one guy and they knew he wouldn’t be there at 9.

They feel like he’ll probably be there at 2 or 3.

Trade back and recoup some of their losses.

I’m not sure any of these guys is worth what Carolina gave up. Two 1’s, two 2’s, and a borderline number 1 receiver.

If one is, it’s worth it.

If not, everyone is getting fired and the franchise is set back 10 years.

It did take balls to make the move, though.

Soap opera. So now they're willing to trade back... as in to the Texans only?

What would they want to go back to #4? Or would the Colts have to get to #3 before they'd listen?

Assuming the Colts even care to be in play for this anymore.

Colts got tea bagged by Carolina.

Now Arizona will trade their pick, which the nutless Ballard will have no interest in because he's a pussy, & we will really be screwed.

He really doesnt. He has been playing catchup since Luck missed the season and he brought in Brisett rather than tank.

The vets on the O line let the team down, and Ballard blew the O line replacements. It took more than one person to create last season.

And its going to take more than one rookie Qb it straighten it out. And its going to take more than one draft to make the Colts a contender. You give away 4 high draft picks you are forced to put more money on FA’s and not save money on talented , less expensive guys you will need in the future.

Richardson is the pick he fits the Colts more than any of these QBs he’s a humble and hungry dude

Ballard wasn’t selling the farm for 1

I don't know about that. They gave up a fucking lot. A fucking lot in a draft where the idea of trading up for one of these guys seems iffy at best.

Clearly the Colts, Texans, Raiders, or Seahawks aren't that convinced.

So much angst over a mediocre group of QBs.

Because mediocre is a massive upgrade for the Colts.
