IMO, Stroud represents the least risk, but then again, he could turn out to be "meh".

I'm okay with staying put, and selecting what hasn't been selected in the first three picks. What would be great, is whoever the Colts end up with, that QB becomes the best of the 2023 class.

Sure, let's say we look at all of them as Powerball tickets. Stroud and Young are like already knowing the first 5 numbers match. Levis and Richardson are like having a ticket for the drawing.
