Holder was on JMV. He was basically embedded with the Richardson camp during the combine (pre-arranged and it certainly sounds like there is some kind of exclusive piece in the works with him).

A few things:
1- He is going top 5 now without a doubt
2- During the workout- while still going, a team called his agent and said they wanted a private session with him- it was a team inside the T10

He did not go much further because of this tease that he knows more about Richardson that most, but when challenged that Ballard may not be willing to take a risk due to job jeopardy and thus may take a more "sure" thing such as Stroud, this was his response.

Steichen is a young unproven HC, a guy that is going to need the grace of a couple years to figure things out. Points out that's not the type of move a gotta win now to save my job GM makes. Then pointed out that would seem to indicate there is a willingness to allow some time for growth and that there may be a recognition that to win big you have to go big.

I say go get Richardson and be done with it.

JMV thinks it's going to be 1-4 QB, we stay put, and we get Levis

I feel the same way about Levis. He seems very cocky and acts like his already been anointed.

Rapoport basically said the same thing on McAffe's show today about staying at 4 because Ballard doesn't make those kind of moves. No balls.

Ballard needs to go get whoever Steichen wants. If that means trading up, so be it.

Give your new coach what he needs to succeed.

I heard Ballard say " whatever it takes." Now lets see if he means it

I like the cost of trading to #3 and getting, guaranteed, one of: Stroud, Richardson or Young rather than the cost of trading up to #1 if that is even possible.

Exactly!

Sadly I view him as being a slick talker with a big mouth and a small set.

To say I dislike him is an understatement. Any dude with a real set would have walked off the job when the Saturday thing went down. NFL is filled with a ton of huge egos, this dude has to be viewed as a clown in the front offices across the NFL.

Richardson is such a project. If it works out, it will work out great. If it doesn't, he's going to suck hard. Personally, I think Stroud is the obvious choice of these three, and despite the Bears trying to inflate the trade market, I think the Colts can get to 1 at a reasonable cost, even if it's the same cost as the Eli Manning trade. Get the QB that is Day 1 starter ready and isn't a huge injury risk due to size, which is Stroud.

Richardson could be something We’ve never seen before though he’s like Bo Jackson playing QB. No DLineman will be able To catch him so he’ll be getting hit by smaller guys for the most part so injury concerns are way less for him. Similar to Cam, Lamar, and Hurts it also simplifies the reads so it’s easy to decipher quickly from the QBs perspective. He’s also humble and hungry. Hasn’t even tapped his potential yet
