Yep

And Maye the next Luck

So top 2 pick next year is QB gold.

I would not be at all opposed to taking LT this year, playing Ehlinger all next year, and just sucking like all hell to get one of those 2.

Sure, but there’s no guarantee for that. Too many variables to count on getting a top two pick. Maybe you trade back this year to accumulate extra first for next year then move up if needed. But still, there risk in that also

Not sure Irsay would do this, but if he would, a better option would be to draft Max Duggan from TCU in the 3rd or 4th round, this kid is a competitor and fun as hell to watch! Play Max next season, he will likely not do much better than Sam but will get a ton of experience and might become a solid backup. Also, he might be a guy that you could use at another position in the future.

That dude is a baller! Looking forward to him matching up with Michigan.

That's why you trade this yr's first for a future first or 2 If possible

So the colts can suck for another year?

This years QB class is not near as good as everyone thought it would be. There is not a lot of difference in the 1st 4-5 QB's IMO. Trade the 1st for future draft picks and take a QB later in the draft.

You know he is thinking about it as soon as he saw the news. If so, where we meeting with torches and pitchforks?

And I'll throw this out there......Baker Mayfield !! Then first pick best OT, second pick Richardson, to sit and learn behind Mayfield for a couple of years.

No more bullshit stopgap approach to QB. This team will have a Top 5 pick. Hopefully it is closer to 3, and ideally it is 1 (there is still an outside chance at 1). Ballard needs to trade whatever the hell it takes to get the guy he thinks is a franchise QB, whether that's Young, Stroud, Levis, Richardson, or someone else. All that is important this offseason is getting the QB that can lead this franchise out of QB hell and into perennial playoff contention once again.
