Let me be Ballard for a minute:

Matt Pryor is going to be our WR1 in 2023

This is of course said in a raspy somewhat southern drawl with a nice concentration of sarcasm intended to serve notice to his haters that he had a plan all along- you / we, we were just too stupid to not see his genius until it all unfolded.

Let’s raise our glasses to kicking everyone’s asses

Having to take a QB is not true at all. There are FA QB's out there also. You can't waste a #4 pick on a less than elite QB.

If Ballard is that confident in one of these guys. It will either make or break him.

I wouldn't do it

Richardson will not be there in the 2nd. i am thinking i like the idea of just staying put and taking richardson at 4. sure he could bust but he could also be amazing. there is a lot to work with there and at the very least it should be fun

That's where I am as well. Try like hell to re-create Josh Allen. Hell if he can become a wish Randall Cunningham- let's just go with it. DO NOT GIVE UP ANY FUCKING OFFENSIVE SKILL POSITIONS TO MOVE UP FOR ANY OF THESE DUDES! Does no fucking good to get some project QB (in some respects all of the top 4 are) and dilute their weaponry.

If they get the wrong QB, what does it matter? Moving to 1 is necessary if Stroud declares, and even more necessary if he doesn't, to ensure the Colts get the best QB.

As for your question, there are other weapons on this offense, there's the free agent market, and there's the other draft picks the Colts have as well. If all that's given up to move from 4 to 1 is Pittman and next year's 1, that's a coup.

Pittman wants to leave. I read that days ago, but I don't recall where.

If Pittman wants to leave, that is fine, someone can give us a high round pick, he is a proven commodity. But i really don't want to trade up in this draft for any of these QB's. This year's class in my opinion, could be as bad as last years.

[Discflinger]

Don’t blame him. Probably would like to run more than just slants.

Before I traded future draft capitol I would take a stud pass rusher, grab Stetson Bennet in the 2nd. round. Yea he is 25, but that is still 12-13 years of good football for todays QB's as they are protected like national treasures. He has won two national titles and can make every throw. He is just as likely to be a good QB as any of the top 4 in the draft. When everything has bust potential written all over it, I would rather it be a 2nd. round bust. He will be there with our first pick in the 2nd.

He’s a Cali boy wouldn’t surprise me if he wanted to go back out west, and if we’re not gonna pay him might as well get something for him
